Chapter 324 Being Concerned About Oscar
Yesterday, Dylan and the other researchers received the analysis report for the vial Noah retrieved from
the laboratory. They found out that they could come into contact with Noah without worsening
Madeline's situation.
However, Noah carried the virus, and he would easily infect Madeline.
At the moment, Noah could not meet face-to-face with Madeline yet, but Dylan wished that Madeline
would at least give Noah a call to ask how he was doing.
Noah had risked his life to save Madeline. If he received a call she willingly made to him, he would be
very happy.
Before he could hint further at Madeline, Elise said agitatedly, "Maddie, don't you think you should be
concerned about Mr. Solace's condition too? I heard he's seriously injured."
"Mr. Solace has many people taking care of him in his home. There's no need to be concerned about
him," Dylan said while giving Elise a side-eye.
Hey, didn't you promise me you're on my side?
Elise rolled her eyes at him. That's for neglecting me while I'm pinned in the car! I don't really care what
you want!
Madeline did not notice what was going on between Dylan and Elise. She made a phone call; it was not
to Noah or Oscar but rather to Wayne.
"Ms. Madeline." Wayne sounded like his condition was stable.
"How are your injuries? I'll have to thank you for saving me last night." Madeline thanked him sincerely.
She might have lost her life if not for him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Don't mention it, Ms. Madeline. It's part of my job." Wayne stole a glance at Noah sitting opposite him
and glaring sullenly at him. His palm was wet with sweat.
"You should go to the hospital and get treatment if you're injured. You shouldn't be moving about,"
Madeline said worriedly.
Wayne replied, "Actually, Mr. Noah…"
His phone was snatched away before he could finish his sentence.
Noah's cold voice could be heard from the other end of the call. "Are you done?"
After ten seconds of silence, Madeline saw that the call was still on. She replied, "Mr. Quincy, I don't
think Wayne should be working after suffering such serious injuries. You should take him to the hospital
for treatment."
"You really care about him." Noah could not let her know he was the one who saved her last night. If
Madeline knew that Noah had injured himself, she could come over to his house to visit him.
He wanted to meet her very much, but he dared not risk infecting her with the virus. As frustrated as he
was, he was glad to hear her voice.
"He's my savior. Of course I have to care about him."
"I'm your husband. Why don't you care about me?" Noah blurted. They had not talked to each other for
a long time. Whenever Madeline contacted him, it was always about asking him to sign the divorce
papers or setting up a time to go to the city courthouse.
Is she that impatient to leave me forever?
The more Noah thought about it, the angrier he became, which was reflected in his voice.
"Do you care whether I care about you?" Madeline retorted and snorted coldly.
Noah's gloom disappeared when he heard the twinge of jealousy in Madeline's voice.
"I see, so you're jealous," Noah said with a smile.
"I see, so you're still so narcissistic," Madeline retorted and ended the call in a huff.
He's about to marry another woman, and he doesn't even let me go into the house to look at him. Why
is he still teasing me like this? What a scumbag!
"Ahem, Maddie, Noah is very clumsy with his words. Please don't be angry." Dylan did not hear the
contents of their conversation, but he could tell from Madeline's expression that she was angry.
"He? Clumsy? He's the wiliest man I've ever known!" Madeline shot a glare at him before dragging
Elise away to another room.
Dylan rubbed his nose before calling Noah. "Noah, what's wrong with you? Now that you can't meet
each other, you can only save your relationship through the phone. Why didn't you treasure the
opportunity? Look how angry you've made Maddie!"
"Is she very angry?" Noah said, amused. If she could be angry at him, it meant that she still cared for
him.
"She glared at me a few times! What nonsense did you tell her this time? You should know that Oscar
nearly lost his life while trying to save Madeline last night. If you keep on messing with her feelings,
she'll eventually lose interest," Dylan reminded him.
Noah's expression sank. Earlier, Dylan had told him about how Oscar had saved Madeline. He also
said Oscar was trying to hit on Madeline and reminded Noah that he should be more proactive in
rebuilding the relationship.
What's wrong with the Solace brothers? Why are they trying to gain Madeline's favor? Do they all like
women of her type?
A bodyguard came into the room. "Mr. Noah, the truck driver has spilled the beans. Fred hired him."
Noah tried to reorganize his thoughts. "Fred? Shouldn't it be Joseph?"
"The driver is Suzette's elder brother. He's a jobless bum who only knows how to spend money on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdrinking and gambling, and Suzette has been funding him with money from the Grant family. After the
Grant family went bankrupt, he lost his source of income, and he thinks that it's all Ms. Madeline's
fault."
Noah indicated for him to continue. The bodyguard continued, "He racked up serious gambling debts,
and the loan sharks were forcing him into a dead end. His wife took her own life, and his daughter was
forced to be an escort. He could not take the pressure, so he went home and killed his mother with a
machete. After ruining his own family, he wanted to kill Ms. Madeline as an act of revenge."
"He alone couldn't have possibly done everything that happened yesterday," Wayne interrupted.
The truck was not the only vehicle that was pursuing them. There were a few other cars that blocked
their way.
"Yes. He initially went to seek Joseph's help. After Joseph refused, he wanted to end his own life, but
Fred found him and carried out the plan yesterday. The car drivers don't know anything about the plan.
That Thirteen kid managed to pry all of that from the driver's mouth."
"It's not easy to get information from someone who has nothing to live for," Noah smiled. He was
intrigued.
The bodyguard nodded. "Yes, Thirteen has… very effective interrogation methods."
"You should learn from him," Noah said while throwing a knowing glance at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard was at a loss, but Dylan winked and nodded at him.
"You taught us everything we know, Mr. Noah," the bodyguard said. "I'm not sure if Thirteen's methods
suit us. I'm afraid we'll have to go through you."
"Mm, that makes sense. Wayne, you should create a chat group for everyone to interact."
Noah guessed that Madeline would be ignoring his messages. He had to find some other way to
connect the two groups of people.
"Yes." Wayne created a chat group for the bodyguards and invited Madeline and Thirteen.
