Chapter 320 Learn to Protect Yourself

“Mr. Noah, what should we do to these guys?” The bodyguards subdued the drivers of the cars who had blocked the limousine’s path. Those drivers also suffered serious injuries.

“Keep them alive. We’ll interrogate them,” Noah said while glancing at those people like he was glancing at insects. Then, he went back to the ambulance.

Dylan had injected Madeline with medicine earlier, but he did not know if the medicine would work.

The bodyguards brought the drivers to the hospital. They were not going to give them treatment but instead keep them alive until they could give them enough information.

“How is it?” Noah sat down next to Madeline’s stretcher and asked Dylan.

They were all wearing protective suits because they had come into contact with the antidote Noah had retrieved from Trenton’s underground laboratory.

“Her injuries are all superficial, and her condition has been stabilized. After taking the medicine, she should wake up by tomorrow morning” Dylan said.

Andy added, “Mr. Noah, the antidote you stole from the lab isn’t the actual antidote but only a component. According to our analysis, it can help in curing Ms. Madeline’s condition, but it’ll take a long time before we derive the complete antidote.”

He had just received the analysis report from the hospital.

Alexander nodded when he heard that. “We’ll try to alleviate her symptoms, but we can only do that for maybe another year or two.”

Noah frowned hard, and his gaze was icy. He knew that something was amiss when Lex blew up the laboratory.

It looked like he had fallen into Trenton’s setup.

“As far as I know Trenton, you wouldn’t have been able to go into his laboratory alone and come out alive,” Andy said. He believed that Noah could see that it was a trap as well.

Noah’s phone received a notification. It was a link to a news article from Lucas.

The article reported that a pharmaceutical research laboratory on Kamai Island, Uranica had accidentally exposed the local population to a virus and caused the number of hepatitis patients to increase greatly. The Uranican Department of Health had ordered an investigation to be conducted on the laboratory, but the laboratory was blown up the day before the investigation, and all evidence was destroyed.

According to investigations by the Uranican police, the explosion was caused by two men from Tiberos. One of the culprits was an employee of the laboratory. He had been exposed for taking drugs while at work and selling laboratory products in private, and he blew up the laboratory in an act of revenge.

Most crucially, the Uranican police released Lex’s mugshot.

No one could tolerate such outrageous news. In fact, someone on the Internet had claimed that the virus could result in a global disaster.

Lex was currently living in the Quincy residence. If news got out that the Quincy family was harboring him, Noah would become public enemy number one, and the Quinton Corporation might collapse overnight.

“Leave Maddie to us. You should deal with the crisis in your company.” Dylan and the others knew about Lex. In fact, before Noah left the house, Lex had reminded him not to overexert himself.

Of course, it was too late to say anything by now.

Noah did not want Lex arrested, nor did he want to see the Quinton Corporation fold.

“How are Wayne’s injuries?” Noah said. No one could see his expression under the gas mask, but they could sense his seething anger.

“Wayne and Ms. Lambert are fine. They’ll fully recover after a short period of rest,” Andy replied.

Noah nodded. He did not return to the Quinton Corporation like Dylan expected but instead went back to the Quincy residence after sending the others back to Golden Dome International.

“How is Mommy?” The three children surrounded Noah as soon as he stepped through the door.

Noah patted their heads. “Mommy is in Golden Dome International now. She’s fine.”

“I want to visit Mommy!” Thomas was already wearing his backpack, but the butler did not allow him to leave.

“I want to visit Mommy too,” Colt said.

Noah thought for a moment and ordered several of his bodyguards to escort the children to Golden Dome International.

Thomas dashed away as soon as his father gave him permission to leave. Colt, on the other hand, glanced at Noah worriedly before leaving.

Noah noticed that Mackenzie was still standing on the spot. “Aren’t you going?” he asked.

Mackenzie did not reply. She took Noah’s hand and led him inside.

“Take care of Daddy!” Thomas rolled down the window and shouted.

Mackenzie continued to walk away.

In the living room, Mackenzie sat her father down on the sofa and coldly ordered, “Take off your suit!”

Noah smiled warmly, pleased at his daughter’s assertiveness.

While removing his protective suit, he joked, “Don’t you think your Mommy would be sad if you didn’t visit her?”

“She’s not petty like you,” Mackenzie replied while throwing him a disdainful glance.

Ouch! Noah quickly removed the protective suit, exposing his blood-soaked white shirt underneath.

Noah quickly put the suit back on, in case the blood frightened his daughter. “It’s dinner time, Mackenzie. Won’t you go and have your meal?”

“No. I’ve seen more serious injuries anyway.” Mackenzie summoned the butler, who was followed by a doctor.

Noah’s heart wrenched. Mackenzie was only five years old, yet she had seen so much blood and gore. What had actually happened in the five years they were away?

He dared not think about it, and he looked at Mackenzie with pity.

Mackenzie could tell that Noah was feeling guilty from his overthinking. Before this, she would let him brood in his thoughts and realize he would need to treat Madeline better.

She could not bear to do so now.

“I’m an actress. I’ve seen scenes bloodier than this,” Mackenzie said nonchalantly.

Madeline would not have allowed Mackenzie and Thomas to see any actual blood or gore.

Everyone says that Daddy is a smart man, but he fell for my stories so easily. He’s not that smart after all.

“I won’t…”

He wanted to say “I won’t let any harm come to you,” but he could not say that after what happened to Madeline earlier.

Mackenzie knew when to interrupt him. “Mommy is a strong woman. She said that we all need to know how to protect ourselves instead of relying on other people all the time.”

That’s because she was hurt when she once relied on me. Noah’s heart wrenched again.
