CHAPTER 569 MASTER DOESN’T LIKE YOU
Madeline was touched. She remembered many things from the past, but she said nothing in the end.
She guessed Tristan knew something about the past. However, he did not believe them when she already told him many times about it. Madeline wondered why he would believe it now and thought perhaps her master had returned.
Tristan smiled when he figured Madeline had realized something. Then, he cut the final wire. However, the countdown did not stop. It was counting down at an increased pace instead. There were only five seconds left.
Madeline backed into Noah’s arms and ran towards the window. She wanted to jump down with Noah with the silver thread. However, the silver thread could not hold their weight. Besides, there were only two seconds left. It was too late.
“Madeline, I love you.” Noah said and pulled Madeline close to him while waiting for their deaths to arrive.
However, the expected explosion did not happen after a while. Madeline looked towards the safety box with surprise. She thought Tristan had disarmed the bomb, but he was using his hands to cover the bomb and stopped it from counting down. The countdown would resume once he let go.
“I’m calling Commander Riley!” Madeline took out her phone and called Commander Riley. She wanted to ask an expert to disarm the bomb. She thought there should not be any danger with Tristan holding it.
“Madeline, leave with your lover. Otherwise, it’ll be too late.” Tristan said while leaning against the safety box. His face and body were drenched in sweat.
Madeline was worried. “What about you?”
“I deserved this.” Tristan looked at Noah, “Take her away if you are a man! Why are you still hesitating?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Noah stopped hesitating. He returned the phone to Tristan and pulled Madeline outside. Madeline turned around and looked at Tristan. He smiled at her just as he did back then while carrying Thomas in front of the window when she just woke up.
Tears fell down Madeline’s cheeks, but she kept on running.
Finally, they left the building. Many reporters surrounded them when they left while being escorted by bodyguards.
“Mrs. Quincy, do you have Mr. Tristan’s contact?” Commander Riley asked.
Madeline gave him her phone. The call had already been connected. She did not know what Commander Riley said to Tristan. However, she heard a huge explosion before they arrived at Maple Forest Villa.
Madeline quickly covered her children’s ears. She seemed to hear Thomas asking her whether Tristan
was dead. Madeline wondered if the man who felt like a nightmare to her for five years was finally dead, but she had no answer to that.
“Mommy. There’s no need to feel sad for him. He said he was a bad guy. When he died, it was not worth it for anyone to feel sad for him.” Mackenzie comforted Madeline.
Madeline said nothing. She only patted her daughter’s head.
Mackenzie whispered to Noah, “He told me that himself.”
After returning to Maple Forest Villa, Noah took the children to wash up. Madeline was soaking in the bathtub for a long time until Noah carried her out.
“The news report came out. There are no other casualties. Commander Riley wanted to save him, but he didn’t want to come out.”
Madeline was not really sad. There was just a gap in her heart suddenly. She only needed time.
“My master has returned,” Madeline said while leaning on Noah’s chest.
“That’s great. I should meet him,” Without him, Noah figured he would lose Madeline forever.
“Master doesn’t like you,” Madeline sighed. Her master used to favor Tristan and even wanted to matchmake them.
If it was not for Tristan changing his personality after a shock, he would not even allow Madeline to
return to get revenge on Noah.
“It’s all right. I will let him accept me,” said Noah firmly.
He knew many people around Madeline hated him because of what happened five years ago. Those people include her master, the Solace family, and Ciara, whom he only met once in Uranica,
“I owe the Master a great debt of gratitude. I will never go against his wishes. So, you’ll probably go through a lot of trouble later,” Madeline said while holding Noah’s neck.
Noah touched her nose with his own. They were lucky to stay alive so going through a few more troubles was nothing.
Since Madeline and Noah were both injured, they recuperated for a few days at home. Every rich family came to visit them during that time, especially Ezra’s grandfather. He even brought Ezra and his parents to apologize to them in person.
One of the reasons was how understanding Old Mr. Gillian was. He knew Ezra was wrong in this incident. The other reason was Tristan’s live broadcast. He cleared Madeline and Noah’s names by proving they had nothing to do with the terror attack and even portrayed them as heroes who sacrificed themselves for the people.
Besides Tristan’s live broadcast, Jacob also sent invisible drones to Madeline’s side, and the drones recorded the whole incident. Jacob edited the footage and added inspiring background music Then, he posted the video on the internet, and it went viral. Everyone thought it was something that could only happen in games or movies.
Meanwhile, Noah and Madeline’s names were trending on the internet. Some people even called them the guardians of Imperia.
The authorities also proved their contribution to the battle and praised them. It was exactly due to the positive images that so many people were visiting them.
In the past, people used to visit Noah and Thomas too when they were injured or ill, but Noah thought it was annoying, so he chased them all away. He also prohibited unrelated people from disturbing him and his son. That was why people stopped visiting them. However, rich families started visiting Noah. It paved the way for the public to rush to his house to visit him.
Noah sat in his study with a gloomy face.
Wayne stood in front of him with a gift box, “Sir, Mr. Dawson sent this. Their family…”
