Chapter 113
Tony hurriedly deleted the video recording online as he feared the consequences.
Although he managed to delete the video from his account, others reposted it. The news
had already spread across the internet at extreme speeds. The situation was out of hand.
Tony felt as if he was about to lose his mind. He decided to tell Asher the truth over a text
message. After that, he discarded his SIM card and fled back to his hometown.
……
The Golden Done International District.
When Noah woke up, he realized he was in a bed in Dylan's treatment room. He then
noticed Madeline resting her head by his bedside. She fell asleep as she had been looking
after him when they arrived.
Noah felt a sense of warmth. He reached out and caressed Madeline's head. He wished
that this moment would last and that she would always be by his side.
Wayne showed up at the door. As he was about to speak, Noah gestured to him to not
make any noise. He slowly got out of bed and covered Madeline with a blanket.
Noah walked out of the treatment room and met up with Wayne in the lounge. "What is
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit?" Noah asked. "Sir, we couldn't find Angie at the original location," Wayne said with a
sense of guilt. He had searched the vicinity with the others but to no avail.
"She escaped?" Noah asked. "I had the same thought initially until I came across this,"
Wayne said as he passed the tablet in his hands. Noah tapped on the screen and watched
a video recording of a woman being humiliated.
Although the video was captured from a side profile, the woman greatly resembles Angie.
"You suspect that this is Angie?" Noah asked. "That's right. Judging from the background, it
appears to be the location that she was previously at. The probability of it being Angie is
quite high," Wayne replied.
"Locate the person in the video and uncover the truth. We must find Angie whether she's
dead or alive," Noah insisted. He wanted Angie to pay the price of killing his grandfather.
"Yes, sir. I'll get to work right now. However, your injuries…" Wayne was worried about
Noah as his forehead was wrapped in bandages and he had been unconscious throughout
the night.
"I'm fine. By the way, where's Colt?" Noah said. "Colton is upstairs. Dr. Felch had examined
his body and was certain that he was well," Wayne replied. "I see," Noah said. After
making sure that Noah had no other orders, Wayne left and resumed his investigation.
Noah returned to the treatment room and realized that Madeline was still asleep. He
carried her to the bed carefully and tucked her in. He proceeded to step into the elevator.
On the 88th floor of the Golden Dome International District, Dylan was making breakfast
for Thomas clumsily. Although he had a kitchen at home, he was not skilled at cooking as
he was extremely lazy. However, he could not turn down Thomas as he had just gone
through a lot and Noah was still unconscious.
Thomas woke Dylan up at 5 am as he was hungry. He was craving some pancakes. Dylan
felt that it was no challenge for him. He gave Thomas a bag of chips as he waited on the
sofa. Dylan put on an apron and searched for tutorials online on his phone.
Dylan swiftly came across a suitable tutorial and began to follow along. Thomas slouched
on the sofa and watched Dylan as it was an open kitchen. "Colt, please be patient. I've
found a tutorial and you'll get your pancakes soon enough!" Dylan said.
"Okay. I believe in you, Uncle Dylan!" Thomas uttered. Dylan felt motivated after hearing
his words. He was certain that it would be a piece of cake for a scientist like him. He began
preparing the ingredients stated in the tutorial which included flour, eggs, and butter.
Dylan searched the kitchen cabinets and found a similar bowl that was shown in the
tutorial. He added the ingredients into the bowl accordingly and mixed them. Thomas felt
at ease as he watched Dylan. Although Dylan's actions were weird, he seemed to get the
hang of it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThomas' stomach was growling as he glared at the bag of chips on the coffee table. He
refuses to eat it as he was craving pancakes instead. He could remember the process
when his mother made pancakes for him. After the ingredients were prepared, he could
indulge in the tasty pancakes with chocolate in no longer than ten minutes.
As Thomas was reminiscing about the past, a sudden burnt smell pulled him back into
reality. He was taken aback by the scene before him. Thick smoke was spewing out from
the induction stove. He could see that the pancakes that he longed for had been burnt into
a piece of charcoal.
The induction stove's power supply cut off automatically. Although the smoke would be
swiftly ventilated by the range hood, Dylan began coughing as he choked. "Colt, get away
from here…" he muttered.
Dylan whipped out a mask and helped Thomas put it on. Dylan then carried him away
from the scene. After the smoke was completely ventilated, Dylan felt relieved and put
Thomas down. "That's a relief. I thought it was going to catch fire!" Dylan said.
"Uncle Dylan, you look quite experienced when fleeing the kitchen," Thomas said. "Thanks
for the compliment. I work on my culinary skills from time to time whenever I'm bored."
Dylan replied. Thomas was speechless as he realized that he would never get his
pancakes.
Thomas would rather starve than to eat that piece of burnt charcoal. As he lay on the sofa
in despair, the elevator sounded. As the doors opened, Noah's voice was heard. "What's
going on here?"
