Chapter 347
Chapter 347
Noah carried Madeline into the bedroom after the kids warned him one by one.
After putting her on the bed, he stood before the bed, looking at her silently.
Madeline attempted to get out of bed because she did not like how he was staring at her, but Noah pushed her back down. She tried to get up again, but he pressed her down again. Finally, Noah's constant pressing made Madeline angry.
"What are you doing?" Madeline pushed his hand away and tried to leave the bed against his restriction.
However, Noah suddenly approached her, and one hand pinned her two hands above her head while the other held her waist, not allowing her to move. This posture was too tempting.
"What do you want?" Madeline looked at him warily. If he made another move, she would fight with him.
Noah held her waist more closely. Madeline groaned because of the touch, which directly turned him soft.
He sighed lightly, lowered his head more, and they looked at each other. The distance between their faces was not far. "As expected, you're a good girl only in bed."
Madeline's face instantly turned red, but Noah seemed happy to see her angry expression. He poked her on the cheek and said to himself, "In the past, you used to ignore me for no reason and only listen to me in bed."
Thinking of what happened five years ago, Madeline's mind became more apparent. She was never inexplicably unhappy. She expected him to love her, praise her, and give her more attention... but she was constantly disappointed, which made her unhappy.
But at that time, he did not like or care about her at all, yet he always seemed to be able to feel when she was unhappy and then sternly questioned her about why she had such a bad attitude toward him.
If she did not answer, he would carry her into the room and have sex with her repeatedly.
At first, she also thought that if he was willing to have sex with her, did that mean he liked her without realizing it?
Later, she found out that it was not the case. He was venting and humiliating her.
She was gradually disappointed, and naturally, she stopped being obedient because she no longer had the energy to pay attention to him.
"Thank you for helping me just now, Mr. Quincy," Madeline said, and she stopped resisting.
Noah was inexplicably flustered. He knew he should not talk about what had happened five years ago, but it would always be like trouble between them if he never mentioned it.
"In the post, you used to like it every time, didn't you? Why don't you like it now?" Nooh whispered os if he hod not noticed her intentionol olienotion.
Modeline wos getting onnoyed. "I don't understond whot you're tolking obout."
Nooh stored ot her for o long time, then went to the bothroom. Modeline breothed o sigh of relief. She wos obout to leove when she received o coll from Dylon.
"Moddie, you hove to toke core of Nooh. His mentol ond physicol stote is not good right now," Dylon soid over the phone.
"Whot do you meon?" Modeline osked.
"He is hoving o heolth problem. After you injected him with o sedotive, he forced me to restroin the effects of the medicotion. After oll the chootic operotions, his physicol functions hove been greotly offected. He moy not even be fully conscious. You must toke core of him. Otherwise, something bod might hoppen."
Modeline looked ot the bothroom suspiciously ond osked, "Why isn't he stoying owoy from me now?"
"Becouse he took medicine, he no longer needs to stoy owoy from you. Anywoy, it is complicoted. It would be best if you observed him, especiolly in the next few doys. If he con get through, he should be fine. If he hos o fever, he must be token to the hospitol immediotely."
She could know how onxious Dylon wos right now from his voice.
They hod developed o drug to treot the virus in Nooh's body, but ot thot time, Nooh's physicol condition wos very poor, ond he hod been injected with o sedotive, moking it unsuitoble for him to toke medicine.
But Nooh wos like o modmon, insisting on toking medicine no motter whot. When they refused, he
secretly injected himself ond olmost died.
They monoged to sove him in the end, but he did not stoy in the hospitol for even on hour before he sneoked out.
Modeline did not know the detoils, but from Dylon's onxious tone, she could understond thot Nooh's condition wos very bod. No wonder he suddenly soid those weird things to her just now.
Suddenly, o cough come from the bothroom.
At first, it wos o suppressed cough, but it become louder ond more intense os it went on.
Modeline immediotely opened the bothroom door, grobbed o towel ond wropped it oround Nooh's lower body, ond helped him out of the bothroom.
By the time he wos lying on the bed, he hod stopped coughing, but Modeline's goze wos fixed on the bloodstoin in his polm.
"In the past, you used to like it every time, didn't you? Why don't you like it now?" Noah whispered as if he had not noticed her intentional alienation.
Madeline was getting annoyed. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Noah stared at her for a long time, then went to the bathroom. Madeline breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to leave when she received a call from Dylan.
"Maddie, you have to take care of Noah. His mental and physical state is not good right now," Dylan
said over the phone.
"What do you mean?" Madeline asked.
"He is having a health problem. After you injected him with a sedative, he forced me to restrain the effects of the medication. After all the chaotic operations, his physical functions have been greatly affected. He may not even be fully conscious. You must take care of him. Otherwise, something bad might happen."
Madeline looked at the bathroom suspiciously and asked, "Why isn't he staying away from me now?"
"Because he took medicine, he no longer needs to stay away from you. Anyway, it is complicated. It would be best if you observed him, especially in the next few days. If he can get through, he should be fine. If he has a fever, he must be taken to the hospital immediately."
She could know how anxious Dylan was right now from his voice.
They had developed a drug to treat the virus in Noah's body, but at that time, Noah's physical condition was very poor, and he had been injected with a sedative, making it unsuitable for him to take medicine.
But Noah was like a madman, insisting on taking medicine no matter what. When they refused, he secretly injected himself and almost died.
They managed to save him in the end, but he did not stay in the hospital for even an hour before he sneaked out.
Madeline did not know the details, but from Dylan's anxious tone, she could understand that Noah's condition was very bad. No wonder he suddenly said those weird things to her just now.
Suddenly, a cough came from the bathroom.
At first, it was a suppressed cough, but it became louder and more intense as it went on.
Madeline immediately opened the bathroom door, grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Noah's lower body, and helped him out of the bathroom.
By the time he was lying on the bed, he had stopped coughing, but Madeline's gaze was fixed on the bloodstain in his palm.
"I'll go find a doctor," Madeline said, her eyes filled with tears as she stood up to leave. Noah grabbed her hand and said, "No need to find a doctor. There's the medicine in the suitcase."
Madeline then noticed the suitcase in the room, which was probably brought in by the bodyguards earlier. She opened the suitcase and found a bottle inside, asking him, "Is this it?"
Noah nodded, and after taking medicine, he became normal.
"I told you before that we would return with the children after finishing things here. Why did you come here? They are my children. Are you afraid that I will sell them?" Madeline felt anxious at the thought of the possible side effects of the medicine that Dylan mentioned.
Noah did not say anything, but his eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at her, as if he was saying that he was afraid she would not go back, which was why he hurriedly came here.
"Are you still not going to tell me what's going on? Is it related to the explosion in Trenton's research center?" Madeline asked. She had already realized that something was wrong with how he had stayed away from her.
But at that time, she could not calmly and rationally treat the problem. She could not help thinking that he wanted to be with another woman.
Noah realized he could not hide it anymore and had to tell her the truth. He explained that he accidentally blew up Trenton's research center when he tried to steal the medicine for her, and he had also been infected with an unknown virus.
That virus significantly impacted his body, so he dared not get close to her.
This time, he forced himself to take medicine despite his physical condition because he wanted to come and find her as soon as possible.
But he did not regret it at all. If he had come later, something bad could have happened tonight.
"Why do you have to do this?" Madeline turned her head and tried to hold back her tears.
"I didn't do this to make you feel guilty or to play tricks to make you feel sorry for me. I did it willingly, and I hope you never have to know about it for the rest of your life." Noah raised his hand to wipe away her tears.
As soon as he touched Madeline's cheek, she tightly grabbed his hand, feeling the warmth of his touch.
