Chapter 214

To keep his sanity in check, Noah removed his clothes. However, he did not get into the sheets.

He was forcing himself to stay awake by allowing the cold to linger in his body.

Although Madeline, who was just in the cold water a while ago, was still unconscious, she was visibly shivering from the cold. Her brows were tightly knitted on her tiny face.

Noah felt sorry to see her in that state. He got up to turn up the thermostat in the room besides fetching another blanket to cover her.

By the time Noah was done with that, he heard Dylan’s anxious voice coming from downstairs.

“Noah, I’m here to save you!”

Noah let out a sigh helplessly as he turned around and stepped out of the bedroom.

He was afraid that if he was a step behind, Dylan would barge in to look for him and wake Madeline up in the process. She would definitely complain if that happened.

He was only on the second floor when he bumped into Dylan.

“Noah, why do you look so down? Hey, your wound is bleeding too!” Dylan was scared out of his wits as he carefully helped Noah along. He felt like he was holding a fragile doll right now.

Noah was not in the greatest mood at the moment. Since they were already on the second floor, he decided to let Dylan into Madeline’s room.

“Noah, why are you bringing me into Maddie’s room? We are in the dead of night now, isn’t this a little inappropriate?” Dylan reminded Noah embarrassedly.

“Quit it. She’s not here now, we can stay for a while.” Noah quickly dragged him into the room before turning around to shut the door.

“Maddie’s not here? Did she go out? Don’t you have anything to say about her going out at midnight? Wait a minute, if she has gone out, then how come you seem suspiciously exhausted as if you’ve gone at it the whole night? Dylan’s curiosity was piqued.

“You better shut your trap right now. This is all your doing!” Noah was furious at this moment, seeing that Dylan was already playing around with the thought of him cheating on his wife. He almost could not suppress his urge to strangle Dylan.

“Noah, don’t get so worked up. Be careful of your wound.”

Dylan bent down to hold Noah’s legs in an all too familiar way. He was trying to make Noah calm down.
