Chapter 160

It took a moment before Madeline registered what Noah was up to. By the time she had realized what

he was looking at on the laptop screen and tried to stop him, he wrapped a strong arm around her

waist and pulled her into his embrace.

“Honey, I promise I’ll work hard to prove my love to you and give Thomas a little sister,” he looked into

Madeline’s eyes earnestly.

“Ha! I can’t believe you’re taking a child’s words seriously,” Madeline scoffed as she tried her best to

free herself from Noah, but failed miserably.

“He’s my own son, of course I have to take my promises to him seriously. I’d be setting a bad example

otherwise, wouldn’t I?” Noah argued.

Madeline found that she had no counterargument. “Fine, suit yourself if you insist on setting yourself up

for failure!” After all, she had no plans to have another child with this wretched man.

“For you, I’d try over and over again,” Noah announced resolutely. He had made up his mind since his

episode at the hospital yesterday to live the rest of his days for the woman standing in front of him. He

would love her and do everything he could to make it up to her for everything she had suffered.

As Madeline took in his solemn expression, her heart bubbled with curiosity. “What does it feel like to

be loved by you, Noah Quincy?” she spoke her thoughts out loud.

“Getting curious, I see? That’s good, keep it that way, honey,” he teased, letting her go as he strode

toward the kitchen.

Madeline laid on the sofa as she observed the man who had everything at the tip of his fingers roll up

his sleeves, preparing to make breakfast for her. Her heart fluttered with an unfamiliar emotion as she

realized this man was not the same Noah she used to know.

As far as she could recall, Noah only ever regarded her with hatred and disgust. There was a time

where she felt like the biggest stain in his shiny, perfect life. How twisted must someone be to end up

falling in love with their shameful stain? Even if he realized he had wrongly blamed her for things in the

past, he did not need to go to such lengths to make amends. Madeline could not wrap her head around

it.

Her gaze fell on the laptop lying on the sofa once again. Madeline picked it up and replayed the footage

of her sleepwalking into Noah’s room, as if she was in a trance. She never had a history of

sleepwalking previously. The more she thought about it, the more concerned she grew. Perhaps it was

time to pay Andy a visit and get a full body checkup done…

……

Bruno Grant was treated in the hospital for a few external injuries and minor muscle sprains. He was

wheeled back to the ward without having to do any surgery. The doctors had given him some

medication to loosen his paralyzed body, and he slowly regained movement and control of his limbs

over time.

Bruno took it as a lucky sign that he escaped unscathed. He called Kingsley over as soon as he felt

energetic enough.

“Sir, looking at your condition, should I cancel your livestream appearance tonight?” Kingsley asked

after seeing how haggard Bruno looked.

“No, the show must go on. In fact, we’ll make it even better. Go and inform Orange Management that

we’ll broadcast the livestream straight from the hospital!” Bruno insisted.

“Sir…” Kingsley began, but Bruno cut him off.

“Cut the nonsense, Kingsley! Get in touch with them right now. Spread a rumor saying that I ended up

in the hospital due to heartbreak because Madeline Grant refused to acknowledge me as her father.

Get them to start the livestream earlier!” Bruno ordered. He had a feeling his unlucky streak was about

to take a turn for the better as he would garner sympathy from the viewers who saw him in his hospital

scrubs. His viewership was about to skyrocket!

“Yes sir, I’ll call them right now!” Kingsley nodded.

“Hold on,” Bruno suddenly said.

“Yes, sir, what else can I do for you?” Kingsley replied ever so professionally.

“Where is Suzette right now?” he clipped.

“Umm… Sir, you asked me to contact Mrs. Grant previously, but I could not get through her phone. I

have yet to locate her as of now,” Bruno admitted.

“Keep looking for her. Inform me immediately once you’ve found her. Also, get a lawyer to draft a

divorce agreement. I’m going to make that bitch and her lover pay back every single cent they owe

me!” he boomed, briefly sounding like the commanding CEO he once was.

“Yes, sir!” Kingsley was rather relieved to see Bruno in high spirits. Perhaps there was hope for the

Grants after all!

An hour later, the production crew from Orange Entertainment had arrived at Bruno Grant’s hospital

ward. Shawn Smith, a journalist with Orange Entertainment, was shocked to see Bruno in his current

state, all bruised and bandaged up.

“Mr. Grant, what happened to you, Sir?” he asked politely.

“Ah, just some personal family matters. No point bringing it up now…” Bruno was secretly pleased to

see that Shawn Smith, the clueless journalist, had been assigned to cover him once again. He had pre-

arranged for Kingsley to bring the hospital bill to him at this exact moment so Shawn could offer to

reimburse him. His eyes welled up with crocodile tears in a bid to gain some sympathy points.

“Was it your ingrate daughter again? So much for marrying into a wealthy family when she can’t even

care for her own parents!” Shawn spat out angrily. After that, he not only offered to reimburse Bruno’s

medical bills, but also asked his team to prepare a variety of health supplements for Bruno. His

colleagues knew he was being taken for a joyride, but they could not be bothered to advise him any

further. He had to learn things the hard way, like the rest of them did.

“Ah, Shawn, if only I had a son like you… You treat me better than my own biological daughter! I don’t

ask for much from her, only that she stays in contact with me and acknowledges me as a father. Tell

me, son, is that too much to ask for?” Bruno cried out agonizingly.

“Don’t be too sad, Mr. Grant. We’re about to go live soon. Once we do, I’ll be sure to give Madeline

Grant a call through Orange Entertainment’s hotline. She can’t hide from you forever!” Shawn assured

him confidently. The cameraman who had heard Shawn’s promise to Bruno froze in his steps but

decided against saying anything. After all, to a salaried worker, ignorance was bliss.

Shawn ran through the list of topics he had prepared on his own and installed all the necessary

equipment for the broadcast before helping Bruno rehearse. Bruno was quite a prominent figure in

Imperia, having been interviewed numerous times when he was still the CEO of his company. With the

help of Orange Entertainment’s early promotion of the livestream date and time, there were already

more than a thousand viewers watching the livestream when it began. The numbers kept growing as

viewers noticed Bruno dressed in his hospital scrubs, sparking their curiosity.

“Is Mr. Grant sick?”

“Hmm, he does look like he’s dressed in hospital scrubs….”

“Are you watching this, @MadelineGrant? Your father is in the hospital, where are you?” a netizen

tweeted at Madeline.

“@MadelineGrant”

“Calling for Madeline Grant!”

“Where are you, Madeline Grant!”
