Chapter 406 Dolphin Show
"You look like you're about to cry. It's okay to be afraid," said Madeline as she noticed Mackenzie's
puffy eyes. Her children had gone through too many things these few months. Madeline could only
hope that peace would return.
"Mommy, we'll always be together, right?" croaked Mackenzie. She lifted her head to look at Madeline.
Madeline thought her daughter was still reeling from the shock. She consoled, "Of course, we will. Your
brothers are still young. But when they grow up, they will protect you."
Mackenzie wanted to say something, but decided not to. She buried her head in her mother's embrace
to seek reassurance. Noah was greeted with this intimate scene when he entered the cabin. He quickly
sat beside the duo.
"Is Zeke all right? Is she traumatized or something?"
"I'm not a coward," mumbled Mackenzie.
"Then go out and get some air. It's not that hot anymore outside." Noah picked Mackenzie up. He was
scared when he received Mackenzie's distress signal. But he was relieved to see his daughter return in
one piece.
"Daddy, you're a superhero!" exclaimed Mackenzie when she recalled her father's intervention. She
didn't want to burden her parents with her problems, not before they took the medications. Therefore,
she recounted Noah's heroic tale in great exaggeration to Madeline. Noah, of course, was just busy
grinning as he enjoyed the spotlight. When they came to the deck, Thomas and Colton were sitting in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfront of the fishing rods. Colton was the quiet one. He could stare at the ocean for the entire afternoon.
However, Thomas was never one to sit still. He had to do something. One moment, he was touching
Dylan's fishing rod, and the next moment, he went to fiddle with Alexander's chums. The rest of the
group was so done with the hyperactive Thomas that they just gave him his smartphone and asked
Thomas to play some games.
"Enjoying the game?" questioned Madeline sarcastically. Thomas was supposed to serve his
punishment by fishing. But instead, he was playing games.
"What a dumb game. I finished everything in ten minutes. Uncle Dylan, why did you download a game
for kids? You..."
Thomas noticed his mistake. He quickly switched off the phone and tossed it back to Dylan. "Oh, Uncle
Dylan asked me to help him with the game. You know me. I love to help others."
"Thomas Grant!" bellowed Madeline, the soundwave of which was strong enough to shake the three
other adults and Mackenzie. Speaking of Mackenzie, she was reveling in Thomas's misfortune.
"Look, Mommy! So many dolphins! Daddy, you're so romantic. Your wife must be the luckiest girl in the
world!" Thomas turned to his father to request for backup. If his eyes could speak, they would be
saying, "Help me, Daddy! I owe you a big one."
"I..." Noah was silenced by Madeline's furious glare. He could only fake a cough and say a prayer for
Thomas.
"Come over here now, Thomas Grant. I'll make sure you learn your lesson today." Madeline chased
after Thomas on the deck. She made sure not to run too fast because Thomas might faint again from
his injury.
But Thomas did not care about his injury. He ran while yelling, "You should look at the dolphins,
Mommy. Look at them. They are so beautiful. Do you know how much effort Daddy put into this
spectacle? Don't miss out. You always ignore Daddy when he does something to impress you. All the
guards here look up to Daddy. Don't make him look bad."
Thomas dashed into the group of security guards who were watching the dolphin show. One after
another, they tried to assuage Madeline's anger. "Ma'am, Mr. Quincy specifically prepared this show for
you. Do him this honor, please."
"That's right. You can discipline your kid later. A spectacle like this doesn't happen every day."
Noah also seized this opportunity to lead Madeline to the best watching spot, far away from the crowd.
As the dolphins soared to the sky, Noah said, "You shouldn't be too pessimistic about the medications."
Madeline knew where this conversation was going. "We're here. So Thomas can be as reckless as he
wants. But when I'm gone, no one can rein him in. What if he does something stupid and puts himself
in danger?"
"You underestimated Thomas. He is bold, but he isn't unruly. Trust me. You will be fine after the
medications."
Suddenly, the dolphin closest to them jumped and splashed the couple with water. Madeline broke into
a cackle, and Noah followed suit. All the other dolphins just looked at the humans, wondering what they

"They are adorable," commented Madeline.
Now that the dolphins got Madeline's attention, Noah made a gesture to the dolphin trainer on the side.
Immediately, the dolphins began to perform several tricks, soliciting oohs and ahhs from the audience.
"I want that dolphin! I want to ride it to kill all monsters!" Noticing that the target on his head was no
longer there, Thomas exclaimed gleefully.
Mackenzie was smart enough to locate the dolphin trainer. She approached him and shot him an
obedient smile. The trainer then commanded a dolphin to approach the yacht so that Mackenzie could
touch or even kiss the dolphin.
Thomas saw the interaction between Mackenzie and the dolphin. He wanted to be part of it too. "I'm
here, my dolphin warrior!"
Colton dogged behind, telling Thomas to be careful. But Thomas threw all caution to the wind when he
saw a dolphin.
"Come, Colt. I'll carry you so that you can touch the dolphin." Thomas was on the edge of the yacht. He
didn't ask the dolphin trainer or the guards to help him. Instead, he turned to Colton.
Thomas wrapped his arms around Colton's waist and lifted Colton up. His cheek turned red from the
exertion. "Can you touch it?"
"Yes, it’s my turn to carry you now."
Thomas put Colton down and climbed the railing like a monkey. The upper half of his body dangled
dangerously. "Please, I can touch it myself."
The security guards immediately pulled Thomas back, all the while blocking the railing to make sure
Madeline wouldn't notice anything.
