Chapter 96
Madeline felt extremely weak when she returned to Maple Forest Villa in the early morning
and passed out after going upstairs.
Yesterday, Thomas stayed at the Quincy residence. However, seeing Noah hadn't been
home all day, he sneaked out of the house early in the morning and went straight back to
Maple Forest Villa.
He realized something was wrong with his mother as soon as he walked into Madeline's
room.
Usually, if he planted a few kisses on Madeline's face while she was still sleeping, she
would immediately wake up. However, no matter what he tried now, Madeline couldn't
wake up. It was as if she had passed out.
Thomas became alarmed!
He quickly took out his phone and dialed Andy's number.
That was how Madeline ended up hooked up to an IV drip in her own home.
She gloriously became a coma patient.
"Uncle Andy, when is mommy going to wake up? I'm worried about her." Due to his
mother's frail appearance, Thomas became warier when speaking for fear of disturbing his
mother's rest.
"Don't worry, Thomas. Ms. Madeline has always been in good health and will awaken once
this intravenous drip bottle has been finished!"
"Will Mommy be in a lot of pain with that needle in her hand?" Thomas' heart ached at the
sight, and he leaned over to help Madeline blow on the needle site.
Andy couldn't stand seeing that poor boy like that any longer, so he found an excuse to
bring Thomas downstairs and away from Madeline.
He'd never expected that little brat, who usually ignored Ms. Madeline, to have such a
sweet side. He was almost in tears!

had breakfast yet, have you? How about I warm you some chocolate milk?"
"I don't have any appetite. When Mommy wakes up, I want to drink with her." Thomas sat
on the sofa, hugging a pillow. He was feeling low in spirit.
Andy was rendered speechless. Andy had never cared for children before, and seeing the
little guy in such a strange way made him feel very uneasy.
He didn't know how to comfort him, which gave him a headache.
Thomas had only stayed downstairs for less than minutes before he got too restless to
remain still, so he found himself an opportunity to go back upstairs.
He was surprisingly obedient, quietly accompanying Madeline by her side. As he lay down
next to her, his small hand held her fingers tenderly.
Mommy is sick. I'm not leaving. I'm staying to keep Mommy company!
Andy had no choice but to leave him be.
Noah showed up with some chicken soup. He instantly panicked when he heard that
Madeline was ill and hurried upstairs, oblivious to the wounds on his body.
A dull ache in his heart surfaced as he stared at the pale Madeline lying on the bed.
It was all his fault she was this way!
Madeline would not have become ill from a weakened body if it hadn't been for the blood
transfusion.
When he saw Colt lying beside Madeline in a distraught state with worries written all over
his face, he couldn't help but feel even more pained.
"Colt, come to Daddy for a hug."
"I'd like to stay with Mommy," Thomas revealed the truth out of instinct.
"What? What do you call her?" Noah couldn't help but be shocked. He almost thought he
was hallucinating.
"Auntie Madeline is a lot like my mother. I secretly addressed her as such. Please don't tell
Auntie Madeline." Thomas felt terrible. He nearly revealed himself!
Fortunately, he was going to be the best actor ever!
He comforted himself by holding Madeline's hand tightly.
When Noah saw Colt acting like that, he felt very uneasy. Is this what people mean when
they say the bond between a mother and her child is unbreakable?
Colt could feel Madeline's joys and sorrows even if they had yet to acknowledge each
other…
Consanguinity is truly a magical thing!
Noah also leaned in and found a spot for himself on the big bed next to Madeline. Like
Colt, he was staying guard by her side.
For the first time, Thomas had no intention of driving Noah away because he could sense
that Noah was, at this moment, just like himself, deeply concerned about his mother.
…
Angie had arrived at the entrance to the Lowe family's villa using the address that Jerry
had given her. It was the Autumn Leaves Villa in the suburbs. Her mood instantly improved
when she saw the magnificent courtyard and luxurious décor.
Despite its location in the suburbs, this villa had an excellent location as it was located in
the vicinity of an international school. So, according to Imperia's housing price valuation,
the property's market price would begin at least one hundred million dollars.
Even their indoor slippers were of a world-renowned brand, and the interior design was
even more exquisite.
The new villa was much better than the Grant family's destroyed villa!
Angie chose the best room in the villa to live in, and she was so happy that she couldn't
stop smiling all day.
She thought Jerry was a useless idiot at first, but who knew he'd be so generous as to give
her an expensive villa? He kept his word and let her live in it, much to her surprise!
The Lowe family appeared to wield considerable power!
She went downstairs, happy in her thoughts.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuzette and Bruno were admiring the luxurious villa's interior designs and decors in the
hall downstairs.
"Jerry gave me this villa as a gift, Mom and Dad. You can stay here if you want, but from
now on, I'll be in charge of all Grant family affairs, and if any of you dare to beat me again,
I'll kick you out of the villa!"
"Oh, my dear daughter, it was a spur-of-the-moment action. Why are you still harboring
grudges like this? You…" Bruno was fuming on the inside, but he couldn't show it.
His face was as horrid as it could be.
"Yeah, Angie. It was just that your father lost his cool when you said the Grant Corporation
was doomed..." Suzette noticed Bruno's face becoming more maddening, so she rushed
forward to smooth things over.
"Now that Jerry has been so generous to me, isn't it only a matter of time before I ask him
for money to save Grant Corporation?" Angie felt very good about herself.
The matter seemed almost trivial to her.
"Angie, can you really convince Jerry to invest in our family?" Bruno's eyes lit up as he
heard that.
"Without a doubt! Don't you all know how Jerry feels about me? Will he give me such a
large house if he doesn't like me? I'll call him right now if you don't believe me!"
Angie spoke solemnly as she prepared to pull out her phone and make a call to Jerry.
"Yes, yes, yes. Jerry now has Angie in his heart. Our family will have hope as long as she
asks!" Suzette smiled brightly when she saw her precious daughter being so assertive.
They were all waiting for Angie to call Jerry with bated breath.
The phone call was quickly answered.
"Hello, Jerry. You're also aware that my family is currently experiencing difficulties. As you
can see..."
"Okay. Shoot. I'll give my father-in-law ten million dollars. Think of it as a dowry gift!"
"Really? Jerry, you are so generous to me!" Angie was absolutely thrilled.
What good fortune she had in meeting a lapdog like Jerry!
"This is nothing? Tonight, make sure to perform well at Enchanteur Bar! That would suffice
to thank me!"
