Chapter 303 Alexander in the Laboratory

After Wayne left, only Madeline and Noah were the people remaining in the elevator. As the tensiongrew in the cramped space, they began to blush.

“Ahem, try not to get yourself hurt next time,” Noah said. His voice was slightly hoarse.

It was then that Madeline took a good look at his face. His eye bags were dark, and he seemedhaggard. When she remembered what Thirteen told her, her expression began to soften.

“I know how to take care of myself.”

“Why did you suddenly pick up boxing? Are you worried that I can’t protect you?” Seeing the defiancein her eyes, Noah knew that she did not pay any heed to his advice.

Madeline explained to him with extreme patience, “I am a mother, and I cannot always expect someoneelse to protect me and my children. I want to protect my children myself.”

Noah did not harp on the topic. He gazed at her intently for some time before pinching the bridge of hisnose. “When I was in Peffel, were those people under your command?”

While abroad, Noah went to visit one of his business partners, but he was caught up in a firefight on theway there. Two groups of people were shooting at each other. Suddenly two people entered the sceneand distracted their attention. If not for that, Noah could not have possibly escaped without any injuries.

After the incident, he sent Noah to investigate those people. He found out that the two groups wereactually working with each other, and they were going to kill Noah with a stray bullet.

As for the two people who helped him, Noah could not find any information about them at all.

“Yes.” Madeline knew Noah would continue investigating if she did not tell him the truth. She did notwant him to become involved in her grudge against Trenton.

“I see that my missus loves me.” Without warning, Noah hugged Madeline tightly and drew her close tohim.

Madeline was worried that he might continue probing about the identities of those two people. Now thatshe was hugged tightly in his arms and her ear next to his chest listening to the firm beat of his heart,all that anxiety that had been plaguing her for the past two weeks was miraculously gone.

“You’re still as narcissistic as ever.”

Madeline poked Noah’s chest with a finger.

Madeline’s finger seemed to have touched Noah’s heart. He gently took her hand, and they exchangeda longing gaze. He slowly lowered his head. Right before he was about to touch those soft lips thatappeared in his dreams every night, someone yelled next to him.

“Noah! You’re finally back!”

The elevator doors were opened, and Dylan hugged Noah tightly from behind.

“Let go now if you don’t want to die,” Noah said through gritted teeth and shot him a deadly glare.

“I was so worried about you, and this is the treatment I get?” Dylan said with a trembling voice.

Madeline winked at both of them and went into the laboratory on the 87th floor.

Alexander was in the middle of conducting an experiment. He flashed a brilliant smile upon seeing her.Annalise would be shocked if she saw him react like that.

“You’re back, Maddie!”

“I’ve heard you’ve made good progress, so I’m here to check.” Even though Noah had forcefullybrought her there, she had indeed been thinking about Alexander.

After all, she had introduced Alexander to Dylan, and she hoped that the two boys would be friendswith each other.

“I’ll perform a quick checkup on you,” Alexander said and stretched Madeline’s eyelids. His back wasfacing the door. When Noah walked in, he thought a stranger was hugging Madeline.

He quickly rushed over, grabbed the man by his shoulder, and tossed him aside.

He was still angry, so he pinned the man’s arm behind him. No hand that touched Madeline shouldremain attached!

“What are you doing? Let him go!” Madeline was shocked by the sudden turn of events. She quicklystepped between Noah and Alexander.

“Noah, you’ve misunderstood! Alexander is our friend. He was performing a checkup on Madeline!”Dylan explained hastily.

Noah looked at Dylan and Madeline for a while before wordlessly letting Alexander go.

Even so, he was still wary of Alexander.

“Who told you that you can bring strangers to the 87th-floor laboratory?” Noah said unhappily atAlexander.

“Didn’t you tell me to hire talented individuals to treat Madeline? This guy here is as skilled as I am. Ittook me a lot of effort to convince him to come with me.”

Noah’s gaze shifted from Alexander to Madeline. He could tell things were not as straightforward asDylan presented them; his instincts told him Madeline knew that man better than she knew Dylan.

Also, he could tell from earlier that Madeline was very protective of that man.

“Looks like Mr. Quincy doesn’t appreciate my presence here. I’ll be leaving then. Maddie, I have myown lab in the Solace Corporation. Why don’t you go over there and receive treatment? Don’t worry. I’llmake sure you recover completely.”

Alexander did not have a good impression of Noah. After all, Noah had abandoned Madeline for fiveyears.

Knowing that Madeline might possibly be a part of the Solace family, Alexander could not bear to seeher suffer.

“Alex, actually…” Madeline was going to explain, but Noah interrupted her.

He said to Alexander, “ME Biolabs is one of the most advanced laboratories in the entire world. Nomatter how wealthy the Solace family is, they couldn’t possibly replicate the same laboratory in such ashort period. If our goals are the same, I hope you can stay back and help me, Mr. Solace.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard Noah say that.

It was the first time they had seen the overbearing Noah Quincy ask someone a favor without resortingto threats or violence.

Dylan’s mouth was opened so wide that one could fit an egg in it.

Madeline could feel something warm in her heart. As far as she knew, Noah had always been prideful.He would rather suffer huge material losses than beg someone for a favor.

For some time, Noah had been teasing her, and she had forgotten how he acted in front of otherpeople. She eventually realized that Noah would only smile at her. To other people, he was still asprideful and vicious as ever.

Now, he had begged Alexander to stay because of her.

Noah did not wait for Alexander’s answer. He took the elevator in the room and went to the 88th floor.

“Well, it’d be rude for me to decline your offer,” Alexander said while shrugging.novelbin

He did not want to leave anyway. Just like Noah said, ME Biolabs was the most advanced laboratory inthe country.

If he wanted to treat Madeline’s disease, he would have to stay.

“Maddie, why don’t you go and check on Noah? I think there’s something weird about him. Don’t forget,he’s still underperforming,” Dylan whispered next to Madeline’s ear.

Madeline nodded and went upstairs.

The room door was ajar. Noah was facing the window talking to someone on the phone.

“Recall all our men and give me a report of the losses we suffered.”

He had lost half of his subordinates in Peffel. None of his men tasked to investigate Trenton returned.

He had underestimated his enemy.
