Aggresive Wife

CHAPTER 580 - WE CAN’T LET THEM DIVORCE

As Madeline helped Xander out of the bar, they bumped into Noah, smoking beside his black Rolls Royce. The smoke had covered his expression, but the air around him seemed a little gloomy.

Upon seeing Madeline come out, Noah paused, but did not approach. Even when Lucas nudged him on the arm, he did not react. He simply stared daggers at Madeline.

Lucas helplessly stepped forward and gave Madeline a hand in supporting Xander. “Hey Madeline, Noah has been looking for you all day.”

Madeline nodded lightly in response, then turned to Xander and asked, “Did you drive?”

Xander nodded, then handed his car keys over to Madeline and told her where he had parked.

Madeline pulled Xander’s arm over her shoulder, then propped him up all by herself. She said to Lucas, “I’m going to take him to the hospital.”

Lucas was trying to find the right words, but Madeline was already on her way, not bothering to look at him or Noah.

“Bro, are you just going to stand here and watch?” Lucas asked Noah.

Putting out his cigarette, Noah got back into his car, started the engine and drove off. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Standing helplessly, Lucas was greeted with a plume of smoke from the exhaust. He cursed in his thoughts, ‘Talk about getting your just desserts.’ He then went looking for Mia with the car key in hand.

Driving at breakneck speeds, Noah was both angered and saddened. He even thought, ‘If I get into an accident here, will Madeline leave Xander and come see me?’

However, even when a large truck had quickly approached from the front, he still turned the steering wheel and evaded it in ample time. Promptly turning his car around, he drove off in the direction Madeline had left in.

By the time Madeline had brought Xander to the hospital, his fever was already at life-threatening levels. Madeline felt incredibly worried for him. Xander had always been in poor health, and with all the untreated injuries he sustained, it was no wonder his condition was so serious.

If Xander were to become comatose again because of her, Madeline would never be able to forgive herself.

Noah had followed Madeline all the way to the hospital. Watching her nerve-wracked expression from afar, he felt a tinge of regret, realizing he had failed to recognize how important Xander was to her.

After a couple hours, Xander was admitted into a ward. He was hooked to an IV, wounds treated and fever subsided. However, he had yet to come.

Madeline silently watched over from the side. As Xander’s fever returned, Madeline went out to look for a doctor, noticing Noah’s figure standing from outside the glass.

After the doctor had examined Xander, Madeline left the ward, looking for Noah. She wanted to tell him to go on ahead back home and look after the children. However, she noticed him on the phone from a

distance. After which, he hurriedly left.

Madeline furrowed her brows. After charging her phone, she gave Thomas a call, worried that Noah had left in such a hurry because the children were in trouble.

“Mommy, where are you? Why aren’t you home?” Thomas and the rest of the kids had been waiting back home for a long time for Noah and Madeline to return, but neither of them did. The children got concerned that their parents were having a big fight and were going to leave them.

“Mommy just bumped into your godfather, and he’s sick, so I’m here with him at the hospital,” Madeline replied.

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. Mackenzie snatched the phone over and asked, “Mommy, is Daddy there with you?”

“No, he isn’t. Where are you right now?” Although Madeline was sure that Natalia would send the children back home, she was skeptical that they would sit quietly at home and not go anywhere.

Evidently, her concerns were completely valid, as the children were on their way towards the Quincy family villa.

“We’re inside a rental car right now. We couldn’t get in touch with you or Daddy, so we figured you were at Daddy’s place and decided to go find you,” Mackenzie explained weakly.

Hearing this, Madeline immediately pulled up the children’s location and saw that the children were indeed moving towards the Quincy family villa. However, as they were still a ways away, she quickly sent Albert a text and had him go escort them.

Madeline felt a little apologetic for neglecting the children the entire night.

“Mommy, what time will you be home?” Colton asked nervously. He wasn’t sure if their mother was aware that their father had kissed another woman.

“I’ll be back tomorrow morning, once your Uncle Xander has woken up. Don’t be afraid. Albert will be there with you,” Madeline’s tone was gentle when talking to Colton, who had always been the obedient one.

“Mommy, you will come back, right?” Colton asked anxiously.

Madeline could tell something was wrong based on the small verbal cues in the children’s voices and how they were rushing to the Quincy family villa in the middle of the night. However, given the circumstances, she didn’t have the luxury of worrying too much about it and simply tried her best to pacify the children’s concerns for the meantime.

“Of course I’ll come back. Take care of Thomas for me and don’t go anywhere else.”

There were simply too many people out there trying to grab ahold of both her and Noah’s weak point right now. It was too risky for the children to be out on their own.

“Okay,” Colton immediately agreed.

Thomas was a little annoyed seeing his brother hang up the phone so quickly. He glared at Colton, “Why did you keep the fact that Daddy cheated from Mommy?”

“Daddy would never cheat,” Colton answered confidently.

“We all saw it with our own eyes. Why are you still defending him?! I can’t believe you’d do this to Mommy!” Thomas angrily shoved Colton.

Colton felt pain from knocking his head on the car door, but that was not his concern at the moment. He anxiously explained, “Sometimes, things are not what they appear to be. Maybe the person we saw wasn’t Daddy, or maybe they weren’t actually kissing? If we tell Mommy without first confirming the truth for ourselves, it might lead to them getting a divorce. Is that something you want?”

Thomas lowered his head in frustration, while Mackenzie looked at Colton and calmly said, “We won’t let anyone bully Mommy, not even if it was Daddy. If Mommy is unhappy, we’ll take her away from this place. We got by well enough without Daddy the past five years.”

Colton had wanted to try and convince Thomas and Mackenzie some more, but upon hearing Mackenzie’s reply, he could no longer find the words.

For the past five years, Thomas and Mackenzie had been happy, even without their father around. However, the same could not be said for Colton without his mother.

It had been like this the past five years, and it would continue to be like that in the future.

That was why Colton could never let his mother find out and cause both her and his father to divorce.

“Can we tell Mommy after we find Daddy and confirm what happened, at least? Please?” Colton’s voice had adopted a pleading tone this time around.

Deep down, neither Mackenzie nor Thomas wanted their parents to split up either, so after some thought, they both acceded.

After ten or so minutes, Albert arrived, stopping the rental car that the children were in, then brought them into the family’s Aston Martin.
