Chapter 58
It's already late, but why is Madeline lurking outside the Quincy residence? Madeline and
Angie…
As Noah was thinking, a scene broke into his mind and caused him to break out in a cold
sweat.
"It's her! She was the one who caused grandpa's death! It wasn't me, it was Angie!"
Back then, Madeline's hysterical voice sounded in the heavy rain.
Was she accusing Angie back then?
However, Noah thought Madeline was noisy and full of lies, so he did not want to listen to
her.
Thinking of this, Noah panicked in his heart.
What if he was wrong back then?
What should he do?!
……
When Madeline returned to the Maple Forest Villa, she tidied up and went to the ward to
visit Colton.
When Madeline was outside the Quincy residence watching Angie's actions through the
live surveillance recording, she immediately thought of Colt.
Colt's vocal cords were fine, and she had heard him talk previously. However, this Colt was
never willing to talk whenever he was awake.
The reason for this made Madeline furious.
Colton probably thought there was no need to say anything if no one believed in his
words. How did this child endure it for all these years?
When Madeline thought of this, her heart ached.
Coincidentally, Colton was awake when Madeline walked into the ward.
After a few days of rest, the small abrasions on Colton's body had mostly healed. However,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthis fractured bones needed more time to recover, so Colt still had to lie in bed most of the
day.
Colton could sit up for a while, but not for too long.
Madeline walked through the door and saw that Colt was looking all around. When he saw
her, his eyes lit up.
Although Colton soon hid his expressions, she still managed to capture this child's
emotions.
This child was probably missing her, right?
Madeline had injured her wrist badly yesterday, so it was wrapped in thick gauze. Worried
that she might scare Colton, she did not visit him.
Madeline felt that her injury was much better today. She even managed to persuade Andy
to install nano ligaments on her. Although she was not completely healed yet, one could
not tell that she was injured as long as she was careful.
However, the nano ligament had a severe side effect. Although it temporarily allowed one
to return to normal, it could only last five hours. Moreover, once it was removed, the pain
would double.
Unless it was necessary, not many people would use it.
This was another reason why this technology was still being kept in Andy's lab and not
introduced to the market.
Nonetheless, Madeline did not care. To not worry Colton, she could endure the pain.
"Colt, I'm here to visit you. How are you feeling today? Did you miss me?"
Colton was looking at Madeline calmly at first, but he silently turned away when he heard
her question.
Madeline approached Colton enthusiastically and even took out a packet of gummies.
"I've bought some gummies for you. If you think your medicine is bitter, you can have a
gummy. It's yummy!" Madeline opened the packet and ate one happily as she spoke.
"Hmm, it seems that Thomas did not lie to me. This brand's gummies are indeed good.
Colt, do you want to try one?"
Madeline tried to imitate Thomas' incredible social skills as she praised the gummies.
However, Colton was not amused by this at all.
He did not even bat an eye at the gummies.
"Since you don't like it, I'll bring something else for you the next time I visit!" Madeline
was about to leave as she spoke, but she realized a small hand tugging the corner of her
clothes.
Hahaha, it's indeed easy to fool a child. My son still cares about me!
Madeline was proud in her heart.
"You don't want me to leave?"
Colton frowned and nodded.
Once she got an answer, Madeline sat down by the bed again. She did not plan to leave
anyway.
"Okay, I won't leave. I'll stay with you here, so do you want a gummy?"
Colton ignored her again!
It seemed like Madeline still had to work hard to awaken her genius son's childlike side.
I'll stop teasing him today!
Thinking about this, Madeline ate a gummy and took out the phone that she specially
prepared for Colt.
Of course, this phone had been improved, and its functions were no less than an adult's
phone.
However, it was more suitable for children because of its reduced radiation emission.
"Colt, why don't you look at this?"
Colton turned around helplessly, but he was a little moved when he saw that it was a
phone.
"Don't underestimate this high-tech phone. Do you want to try it?"
Madeline waved the mobile phone in front of Colton.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOne could obviously see Colton's eyes light up when he heard it was high-tech.
Seeing that Colton was interested, Madeline put the phone into his uninjured hand. She
then adjusted the bed to let him sit up comfortably.
Colton was obviously intrigued by the phone. His fingers were tapping on the screen
continuously, seemingly wanting to check all the phone's functions.
Madeline sat at the side and watched him quietly without interrupting him.
For a moment, she felt glad.
Madeline was in a trance when Colt suddenly pulled her hand.
A QR code soon appeared in front of her.
"Colt, are you asking for my Instagram?"
Colton rolled his eyes at Madeline helplessly as he pointed at the QR code on the screen.
"Alright, since you're so persistent, I'll follow you!"
Madeline took out her phone to scan the QR code and followed Colton on Instagram.
She then opened the chat page and sent a hug emoji to Colton.
As Madeline was excitedly waiting for Colton's reply, she saw him leave her text on
“seen”.
Hah, naughty children were all the same. Who did Colton inherit it from?
Outside, a flash of lightning flashed fiercely, and thunder rumbled like an explosion. It was
as if they were about to shatter the ground.
Madeline saw Colton's small figure tremble.
She realized he was afraid of the thunder, so she immediately held his hand.
Colton turned around and looked at Madeline with complex emotions in his eye containing
glimpses of uneasiness and suspicion.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
Colton nodded and then shook his head. Soon, he turned away and ignored her.
However, his little hand still held Madeline's big hand tightly, not letting go.
Madeline felt her heart ache as she looked at Colt, who was afraid of thunder.
How did Colton endure the thunderstorms when he was at the Quincy residence? He was
probably feeling afraid like this, right? In times like this, was anyone there for him? It must
have been scary if he was alone. Maybe I should have returned earlier.
Madeline suddenly felt like crying as she thought about this.
