Chapter 40

Madeline’s heart skipped a beat as soon as Noah said those words.

She quickly regained her composure, and when she looked up, she smiled lightly and said, “Of course, I know. It’s because I care about Colton, so I did my homework.”

Madeline was changing the subject deliberately, and Noah stood there quietly watching her put on a show, not believing a word she said.

“Really? Nobody in the outside world is aware that Colt is allergic to ginger. You are extremely resourceful.”

“You’re probably just overconfident in your security measures.” Madeline smiled sweetly but with a hint of malice.

Noah looked at her, wanting to say something, but the medical staff rushed in nervously.

“Ms. Grant! Your wound is open!”

“Prepare a bandage right away!”

For a while, the scene became chaotic as the doctor and nurses checked and bandaged Madeline.

Madeline looked up after having her wound re-bandaged and noticed Noah had already left.

She sighed but immediately frowned. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Noah was beginning to doubt her identity!

If he didn’t intend to test her, he wouldn’t have come here in the middle of the night.

Her response was also riddled with errors and inconsistencies because she was shocked to think clearly after learning about Thomas’ allergies. Even if Noah had no doubts before, she could well have planted doubts today.

She needed to make more headway quickly!

The ward quickly quieted down, and Madeline noticed an unread message on the phone, which Albert had sent.

She simply did not want to remain in the ward any longer.

Madeline quickly typed and replied to the message. Then, she stood up while enduring pain in every part of her body. After that, she changed her clothes and went straight to the basement.

Albert was nearby when he learned the news. He noticed Madeline exiting the elevator from a distance and parked the car directly in front of it.

He trotted out of the car, opened the door for Madeline, and waited for her to be properly seated before carefully closing the door and returning to the driver’s seat.

“What happened, Ms. Madeline? Your condition appeared to be worse than before. Would you like me to notify Andy?” Albert didn’t rush to start the car, instead looking at her with concern and asking.

Although Madeline was tired when he left in the evening, her face was not as pale as it was now.

Furthermore, Madeline’s face was covered in thick sweat.

“I met the killer just now. The wound opened, but everything is fine now, so you don’t need to tell Andy. Just let him look after Colt.” Madeline said lightly, then fastened her seatbelt and signaled Albert to start the car.

“What? A killer? Who sent him?”

“I’m not sure, but he appears to be the man who tampered with the car. He has good skills and appears to be a professional assassin.”

“This is far too dangerous, Ms. Madeline. Let me stay by your side and protect you from now on!”

“I’ll have to bother you about that, I guess.” This time, Madeline did not refuse.

She wasn’t sure she could take on the other party if he were a professional killer, let alone when she was injured.

She hadn’t finished what she had set out to do and didn’t want to die before completing her mission!

“Don’t stand on ceremony with me, Ms. Madeline. It’s my duty!” Albert was unusually stern and solemn.

“You just sent me a message saying you found Felix Turner, the special assistant in charge of looking after Grandpa at the time?”

Felix Turner had been the old man’s personal assistant for all time. He was the one who accompanied and cared for the old man in the hospital during his hospitalization. When the old man had an accident, he vanished. Madeline had been searching for his whereabouts for several years without success.

That person seemed to have deliberately covered his tracks, and just like that, he had disappeared into thin air.

His strange behavior gave the impression that something was off.

For the past few years, Madeline had been looking for him, and even if she was looking for a needle in a haystack, she still intended to find him and ask him what had happened back then!

“Yes, our intelligence network reports that Felix recently showed up in a villa neighborhood on the outskirts of Imperia. He changed his name and identity, but his face got detected by surveillance. We only discovered him after receiving real-time surveillance data. We also followed him and discovered his exact location.”

“Let’s go take a look.” Madeline placed a direct order.

“Ms. Madeline, some of our people are already there. Why don’t I take you home to rest first?”

“No need. Let’s get moving so that nothing unexpected happens.” Once Felix was found, the truth would be revealed, and she couldn’t wait.

Madeline was adamant. Albert couldn’t help but leave the basement and drive straight to the villa neighborhood in the eastern suburbs.

At three in the morning, there weren’t many cars on the main road in Imperia.

It didn’t take Albert long to arrive at his destination, as the car traveled unhindered all the way to Garden Villa, Block A, Unit 1301.

They had done some reconnaissance when they first arrived. It was a garden-style villa complex. Within the park were many blocks.

Only the building in front of them had its light on at this time, as if the owner knew they were coming.

Madeline took a deep breath in front of the door before reaching out and pressing the doorbell.

“Ding-dong!” The doorbell rang three times in a row, but no one answered.

Albert parked the car and came over to her side. He pressed the doorbell, but he got no response either.

The door was locked inside, as Madeline discovered when she reached out and pulled the handle.

The light remained on, but no one responded, giving her a bad feeling.

“Find a way in and take a look.”

Albert nodded and began inspecting the windows around the villa.

Madeline was the only person standing in front of the door. She looked around, the dark surroundings making her nervous.

The door in front of Madeline was suddenly opened as she debated whether to return to the car and wait.

Albert immediately emerged from the inside and said, “There is no one in the rooms, but the tea on the table is still warm, Ms. Madeline. I believe he must have just left not long ago!”

“Go after him!”

Madeline instinctively turned around and walked quickly toward the car.

She soon came to a halt again, asking, “Are our people nearby?”

“I just called them, and they’re on it.” Albert held the phone, and it was the latest news report.

“Let them search thoroughly. Let’s take a look inside.” Madeline paused for a moment before making a decision and walking straight into the villa.

When Albert heard the order, he sent a message right away and then quickly caught up to Madeline’s pace.

“Our people should have arrived first and then gone on a chase when they saw no one in the house, right?”

“I think so.”

“Then who do you think locked the door?”

“Ms. Madeline, are you trying to say he is still inside the house?”

“Let’s go find out.”
