Aggresive Wife

Chapter 45

“Bruno…”

Suzette still wanted to beg for mercy, but Bruno ignored her. She went upstairs in a pompous manner, with Kingsley supporting her arm.

“Bruno…”

Suzette still wanted to beg for mercy, but Bruno ignored her. She went upstairs in a pompous manner, with Kingsley supporting her arm.

She lacked the vigor and spirit she once possessed. She was only fifty years old, but her movements had taken on an elderly gait as if she had suddenly aged ten years.

Suzette’s life seemed hopeless. She slumped and broke down in tears.

The servants in the living room had been dismissed long ago, and no one approached, even if they heard the commotion in the living room.

Suzette did not give a damn about maintaining her public persona as she berated Bruno in the living room for thirty minutes before Bruno’s bodyguards finally threw her out.

Angie, who was in despair, was thrown out with her.

It began to rain heavily outside, and the badly battered mother and daughter huddled together in the pouring rain, pitifully resembling two unwanted stray dogs.

The mother and daughter walked out in a huddle. Angie tripped and fell in a puddle while wearing high heels, getting mud all over her body.

She sat in the puddle, refusing to get up despite Suzette’s best efforts to help her. It appeared as though reality had finally set in for her.

“It’s all over now, Mom. What do I do? What should I do?!”

“Don’t be afraid, my good girl. Get up quickly. I’ll find a way for you as long as I’m here!”

Suzette tightly hugged Angie, who was trembling all over.

“Angie, you must be strong. This is only a minor setback. The Grant family would only be a trifle when you marry Noah, right?”

“How am I going to marry Noah in this state?”

“A pitiful woman moves people. Let’s first find a place to settle down, and then we’ll make a plan…”

A fierce determination could be seen on Suzette’s face.

Her precious daughter was her only hope in this life, and she would never give up!

…

Meanwhile, back at Golden Dome International, Madeline awoke in an unfamiliar environment and instinctively became alert.

She was about to get up when she realized someone was holding her hand.

The person next to her was half-slumped on the bed, sleeping with only his side profile visible.

She carefully turned to look and then realized it was Noah. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Madeline suddenly became nervous!

What had happened to her? How could she be here, and why was Noah by her side?

Madeline had so many questions in her head, and she even thought she was dreaming!

It had to be a dream; otherwise, how could Noah, a man who had wanted her dead, hold her hand so tenderly and refuse to let go even when he fell asleep?

While thinking about that, Madeline fell back asleep.

She was already back in Maple Forest Villa when she woke up again.

Albert gave her a worried look. His eyes were bloodshot, and he didn’t appear to have slept all night.

Andy had messy hair and dark circles under his eyes.

Those unaware might have assumed that these two people did something heinous together last night!

“What’s the matter with you two?” Madeline sat up and asked the two people who had been staring at her.

“When did you get back, Ms. Madeline?”

“Yeah, boss. What’s going on here?”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Madeline seemed perplexed.

“Ms. Madeline, I was out shopping last night, and when I returned, I discovered that you had gone missing. I looked all over the house but couldn’t find you! Then we organized a search party to find you. In the end, we found nothing, not even a speck of information about your whereabouts. Then, as soon as we returned, we discovered you lying on the sofa in the living room…”

It was as if you hadn’t been gone all night!

As he spoke, Albert showed some uncertainty. He would have believed that he had lost his mind if Andy hadn’t been there to confirm that Madeline had vanished last night.

“You mean to tell me I was taken away last night and sent back today?” That was somewhat absurd, but she had no recollection of it.

Even if she did vanish last night, it wasn’t on her own two feet.

Wait a minute. Taken away…

She suddenly remembered her vivid dream from earlier that morning!

Could Noah have taken her away?

Madeline was taken aback by the thought, and no matter how hard she thought about it, she remained baffled.

She was still thinking about it when she came up with an idea to prove her dream.

“Andy, please come over and look at my wound for me.”

“Is your wound bothering you, boss? Let me check it for you!” Andy immediately tensed up and rushed to Madeline out of a doctor’s instinct.

“You were the one who applied my bandage yesterday. Take a look. Is my wound dressed differently now?” Madeline extended her arm and pointed to the area Andy should inspect.

Although the fundamentals of medical skills were the same, each doctor had their distinct style.

Even a simple bandaging technique was likely to have its distinct features.

If she was taken away without being aware of it, there must be a problem with her physical condition.

The most likely scenario was that she had a septic wound, which led to a fever and unconsciousness.

Madeline had a vague recollection of where she had awoken in the morning. It appeared to be a laboratory. Based on what she knew about him, Noah wouldn’t know anything about medicine.

If her wounds had been treated, it was most likely Noah’s medical weirdo friend—the one who enjoyed conducting experiments, that had treated her.

Andy had already removed the gauze from Madeline’s arm while she was still deep in thought.

“Boss, your wound has been touched, and it got treated with the most cutting-edge trauma medicine, M-TE. This medicine is being developed on a global scale. I also ordered this medicine from headquarters yesterday, but it is still on its way. When I unwrapped the bandage, there was a small bow on it. I didn’t tie that yesterday…”

Andy felt very nervous when he unwrapped the gauze and saw the bow. He feared someone would tamper with Madeline’s wound, so he was relieved after carefully inspecting it.

He had some reservations, so he decided to discuss them with Madeline.

“Boss, this wound appears to have been infected previously, but it is now healing well thanks to cutting- edge medicine. Did you have a meeting with an Asclepius last night? The kind that saves lives and heals the injured while not leaving a trace?”

Madeline became even more perplexed after hearing Andy’s analysis.

That being said, it could only mean she was indeed taken, and her wound got treated.

It wasn’t a dream; she did awaken in a lab this morning.

That means Noah was the one who broke into the villa and saved her last night!

How strange! How strange indeed!

Noah was not one to meddle in other people’s affairs, but he had repeatedly saved her.

She was the one who had hurt the one he cared about. She’d pushed Angie off the altar. He should be hoping for her death rather than saving her!
