Chapter 39
Madeline only woke up briefly in the hospital due to the anesthetic’s effect and then fell asleep again.
She wanted to be discharged from the hospital as soon as she woke up, but Andy dissuaded her and insisted that she stay for a 24-hour postoperative observation period.
Madeline could only concur because she also desired a speedy recovery.
Although Andy and Albert wanted to accompany her and care for her, their offer was declined to prevent someone from investigating the people around her.
It’s only one night in the hospital. It’s not hard at all!
It had been a long night of tossing and turning, and she was exhausted.
It was just that, despite having borrowed the effect of anesthetics, Madeline didn’t sleep well.
Dreams wrapped themselves around her layer by layer, leaving her disoriented and dazed, until she lost herself and became trapped in that sad parting.
She was trapped on that rainy day when Noah was determined to wrong her and abandon her.
In her dream, she could still feel the pain in her stomach, which was so severe that she couldn’t breathe…
The sensation of suffocation became increasingly intense, and Madeline awoke from her suffocation to find someone smothering her with a pillow.
She couldn’t breathe because someone was murdering her!
Her body’s instantaneous warning of danger caused her to awaken. After struggling to locate the fruit knife she had hidden under the blanket, she quickly stabbed the assailant.
Even though she had missed, Madeline had time to catch her breath, and while the opponent was ducking and flinching, she managed to sit up and quickly turn on the light.
She could see the assailant was a man, but he was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, so she couldn’t see his face.

Madeline changed the topic after noticing that the ward’s atmosphere was increasingly chilly.
“You came to the hospital at such late hours; could it be that you are just passing through here, or did you come to see me because you knew I was injured?”
“My child became ill, so I took him to the doctor. Who knew I’d run into Ms. Grant, who was being assassinated by chance?” Noah thought this excuse was reasonable even if he didn’t bring the child with him!
He felt compelled to be here because he thought this woman was suspicious.
He was pacing irrationally in his home study. He sensed something strange was going on and went to the hospital, but he accidentally ran into her assassination.
He couldn’t tell Madeline the truth because she’d think he liked her, and she’d seduce him whether she was being genuine or not.
This is so frustrating!
“The child is ill? What happened?” Madeline’s heart leaped to her throat when she heard him say that.
Thomas had always been a physically fit child. How could he have become ill so suddenly?
“Ms. Grant, you seemed very concerned about my child?”
“Oh, Noah. You still don’t get it? ‘Love me, love my dog,’ they say. I’ve also met Colton, the Quincy family’s baby. Such a cute little boy is sick. What’s the matter?”
Madeline quickly adopted a shy expression after her initial reaction when she realized she had almost exposed herself.
“Colt is fine. It’s nothing more than allergies. Thank you for your concern, Ms. Grant.” Noah’s eyes were fixed on Madeline’s face as he said that.
He seemed to want to see through her, eat through her, and then extract her true mind.
“You can’t wait if you’re allergic. Have you found out what the allergen is? Could he have eaten something like ginger by mistake? Noah, you must check it carefully!”
Madeline was distraught. Thomas had always been in good health. If he was allergic, it was because she was also allergic to ginger.
She was careless and neglected to warn Thomas to be cautious.
Did Noah already realize Thomas wasn’t Colt?
Was it possible that Colt, like her, was allergic to ginger?
Madeline was nervous because she couldn’t figure out the answer.
“How did Ms. Grant know Colton has a ginger allergy?”
