Abusive Wife Chapter 131

Chapter 131

Ten minutes later, Madeline and Wayne arrived at North Hill.

With the help of the navigation system, Madeline instructed Wayne to stop the car at the nearestlocation to the destination.

Since it was a thicket ahead, there was no way a vehicle would advance further. With the phone inhand, Madeline swiftly got out of the car.

Madeline was in a much better shape as the heating was turned on in the car. Out of the car, sheascertained that Thomas was somewhere deep in the forest.

The forest was about a three-hundred- foot trail down the church on the hilltop. The luscious greenformed on the flat terrain of the hill.

Due to the ample sunlight, the villagers living down the hill planted fruit trees here. The activity up anddown the hill shaped a winding path by the hairpin road.

Madeline searched near the road and found a path up the hill. Without hesitation, she followed the pathto an uphill climb.

The narrow pathway was only

accessible to one person at a time. The bending trail ran for miles, curving along the hillside. It lookedrather unsettling.

Madeline cautiously moved ahead, sticking her body close to the wall of the hill. She would be lying tosay her knees were not weak.

Nevertheless, the thought of her children waiting for her and possibly at risk gave her the courage tocarry on.

“Wayne, make sure everybody remains on high alert.”

“Yes, Mrs. Quincy.”

Wayne responded without taking his eyes off Madeline in case anything were to happen to Mrs.Quincy. Mr. Quincy had only found her again.

Madeline broke out in cold sweat simply walking the few feet.

It was a good thing that they had reached up the slope after that deadly pathway. Although the terrainremained complicated, the surface was a lot flatter.

Madeline made sure to keep an eye on Thomas’ signal. It had been ten minutes since he moved.

They were a mile away from the target

location.

Madeline had taken a good look at the overview map of North Hill back in the car. They should get tocomparatively level ground in another mile or so.

Did the party stop there?

Madeline was deep in thought while looking around her surroundings. The even surface level gaveaway the extra footprints. Madeline shared Thomas’ live location with Wayne, so they could split upand search for the kids.

“Mrs. Quincy, I should go with you. I can’t let you go alone.”

“I’m fine. Take your men and go around the back. I will be careful.” Once at the flat ground, Madelinehad shaken off the cold by then. She was confident in defending herself.

“But…”

“We’re pressed for time, so no more buts. Let’s get a move on.”

Madeline interrupted Wayne from saying anything more.

Without waiting for Wayne, Madeline went on to pick a path and hurried along.

Although Wayne was worried, rescuing the boys was the priority. He must make haste and take theother path with his men. He picked up the pace to get to the target.

Madeline raced ahead the pathway as the nervousness was eating her up inside.

The timing of Colt’s abduction was too much of a coincidence.

Surely, it was Lone Wolf’s contingency plan.

His ultimate goal was to threaten Noah with it.novelbin

Lone Wolf’s client remained a mystery.

Nevertheless, Madeline was out for blood the moment she found out her precious children wereabducted. She could care less whoever it was. The person shall pay!

The b*stard just bought himself a ticket to hell for taking the kids!

Madeline was fuming.

Without stopping for a break, Madeline was drawing close to the target.

From afar, she could see the red roof of a cabin among the thicket…

Meanwhile, Colton, who was bandaged on both his arm and leg, lay on the only bed in the cabin. Withhis back against the wall, he calmly played the part of the kidnapped child.

His abductor must think he was no threat as an injured kid, so a rope hung loosely around his body.

There was no hint of panic on his straight face. In fact, Colton was feeling bored.

The man who tied him up left him here in a hurry before taking off. Judging by the noise around, theman was not outside either.

Colton stirred a little and found the most comfortable to sit up in bed. He then pulled out his phone toread the financial news.

He did not manage to run a few numbers in his head when he was captured.

A few messages popped up on his screen when he unlocked his phone.

With a frown, Colton tapped on the messages and realized they were from Thomas.

His phone had been on silent mode. It was only now Colton discovered that Thomas followed him here.

Thomas wrote, “Don’t be scared. I’m here to save you, Lil Brother.”

“I saw the bad man leave, Lil’ Brother. Is there anyone else in the cabin?”

“Are you hurt, Lil’ Brother?”

Thomas’ messages bombarded his

phone. Colton read them one by one, somehow feeling loved.

He guessed he must be brothers with the chatterbox.

Colton was a little envious of Thomas because he wanted to grow up with Mommy too.

The boy sighed to himself as his nimble fingers hopped around the mobile keyboard.

Colton responded back, “I’m alone. You don’t have to rescue me. Go back and stay safe.”

He weighed his options when typing the reply before hitting on the send button.

It was hard for Colton to move around due to his injuries. There was no way he could escape withoutthe aid of an

adult.

A child would not be of much help.

Colton did not want to put Thomas in danger.

Despite the sent message, Colton picked up on a rustling by the window of the cabin.

Thinking it was the man in black who captured him, Colton shoved his phone back into his pocket.However, a tiny head popped up on the other side of the window.

It was Thomas.

“I’m here to save you, Lil’ Brother!” Thomas spoke in a hushed tone, saying hello to Colton.

Colton was about to refuse when

Thomas stepped on a block to climb in through the window.

There was no point talking Thomas out of it at this point.

He stopped rejecting Thomas’ kind gesture.

Since Colton grew up without friends, he never expected anything to risk their lives to save him.Thomas was the first person ever to do this for him.

Feeling touched, Colton softened his tone of voice once he could gather himself to speak again.

“Thank you for coming to my rescue, Lil’ Brother.” Colton looked at Thomas and earnestly said.

Rosiness crept onto Colton’s cheeks as he thanked the child for the first time.

“Huh? You can talk, Lil’ Brother, but I should remind you that I’m the older brother.” Thomas put on astern face and corrected Colton’s so-called

mistake.
