Abusive Wife Novel

Chapter 156

As Thomas’ phone screen unlocked, his conversation with Madeline was the first thing to pop up. Noah quickly glanced through Madeline’s messages.

“Thomas, where’s your Daddy?” the latest message from Madeline read.

Noah gave it all but a moment’s thought before sending Madeline his live location. He waited eagerly for her reply, but there was nothing but silence from her after a few long minutes. Noah put the phone back into Thomas’ pocket and stared at the ceiling in frustration.

hold of her arm.

“Don’t go,” Noah’s recognizable voice called out.

“You’re awake?” Madeline turned back to look at Noah, but he was still lying there with his eyes closed, unresponsive to her question.
