Chapter 120
Madeline was taken aback by Colton's question.
She asked warily, "Do you want me to be your mother, Colt?"
Her heart was pounding frantically.
She had been gone for five years, causing Colt so much pain in the Quincy household. She
wasn't sure if Colt would forgive her for being such an irresponsible mother.
"It is what it is. In this case, I sincerely hope that you are my mother, but hoping is
pointless." Colton looked at Madeline, concerned about her intelligence.
"What if" and "hope" are two completely different things, so how can one use the same
yardstick for both?
How foolish!
"Um... In that case, I'm your mother..." Madeline fought herself for a long time before
deciding to tell the truth and face the consequences.
Colton was a bright kid who could be stubborn. She was afraid she would be easily
exposed if she was not honest with him this time.
It would be too humiliating for her to be slapped in the face by then!
"Are you really my mother?" Although Colton's small face remained grave, the excitement
and heightened arousal in his eyes revealed his current state of mind.
"Yes..." Madeline lowered her head in shame, like a child who had done something wrong,
as she revealed who she truly was.
"Is the little chatterbox from before your son? He looks almost identical to me. Is he my
brother?"
"Yes, he is. You have not only a younger brother but also a younger sister named
Mackenzie..."
"How come you only took them away?" It clearly hurt Colton, but he forced himself to bear
it.
He appeared to be furious with himself from the way his fists were tightly balled up.
Madeline's heart hurt so much after seeing Colt like this that she found breathing difficult.
She leaned in to hug him, but he dodged her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMadeline broke down in tears when she saw that.
"I'm sorry, Colt. It's all my fault. I had no idea you existed before. I should have looked into
it more thoroughly. I should have returned to look for you... I'm truly sorry..."
Madeline wept bitterly, and her heart was instantly filled with guilt.
She felt as if she couldn't breathe.
Everything in front of her eyes began to blur as well.
Madeline understood that this was a symptom of her illness.
However, she was now directly in front of Colt. She didn't want to frighten him. She had to
get out of there…
Madeline struggled to get up, but her body refused to cooperate.
No, her illness could not possibly flare up right now.
Madeline tried everything in her power to stay awake, but the flare-up accelerated, and
she soon felt as though darkness had been cast over her eyes.
She felt a warm sensation on her face just as she thought she was about to lose
consciousness.
A small hand rested on her cheek.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
Colt's voice reached Madeline's ears, and she gradually calmed down.
Her face was bright red, and she took a long time to come to.
"What's the matter, Mommy? Don't be sad. I'm not mad at you." Colt inquired nervously,
pressing the emergency call button.
When Madeline opened her eyes, she noticed the small boy who was worried about her,
and she instantly smiled in relief.
It was her precious son who had just saved her!
"Do you feel any better, Mommy?" As he watched Madeline regain consciousness, Colt's
tense brows started to loosen slowly, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.
"I'm already feeling better. Don't worry, Colt. Mommy just got a headache!"
The medical staff members who had received the alert arrived outside the door and were
about to enter when Madeline stopped them with a wave of her hand.
She was the best judge of her physical condition, and she was doing fine right now.
Besides, she still had some important things to discuss with Colton.
"Colt, I heard you say just now that you weren't mad at me, so don't break your word!"
Colt, who had been worried about Madeline, gave her a helpless look when he heard her
say that.
Why does it seem like his mother had played a trick on him?
"You really didn't realize you had me?" Colton persisted with his interrogation for the final
time.
"If I had known, I would have returned for you sooner! Will you come with me now, Colt,
that you know I'm your mommy?"
"Daddy is actually a very good man, Mommy. Would you be willing to give him another
chance?"
"I used to like Daddy when I was younger, but I've matured. I don't like men like him
anymore, but don't worry. Even if you follow me abroad, you are welcome to return here
anytime. What do you think?"
"There's something I want to remind you of, Mommy."
"All right, go ahead and tell me."
"If Daddy finds out you're back, he'll never let you go, let alone take me away, so can you
wait for me to recover before making a decision?"
Colton conducted an objective assessment of the situation.
"Colt, you must have faith in your mother's strength!"
In all seriousness and honesty, Madeline made a promise to Colt, but when she turned to
face him, the youngster was quietly observing her, clearly not believing what she had
said.
"Colt, are you reluctant to part with Daddy?"
Colton lowered his head and didn't say anything else. He pressed the button to lower and
flatten the bed, then lay down and shut his eyes. It was evident that he was faking sleep.
Madeline sighed helplessly as she looked at him.
After all, it was the adults who held grudges. Why should she insist on forcing a child to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmake a decision?
Colt didn't want to leave now, so she decided to stay with him instead of leaving, and they
would make plans later once he had healed.
Madeline left the ward after making up her mind in private and bidding Colt farewell.
Madeline received a message on Instagram from Thomas shortly after leaving the ward.
Thomas wrote, "Mommy, I got away from that jerk and am now on my way to the airport.
Where are you all now?"
Madeline, who had already decided not to leave, responded, "The plan has been canceled.
Retreat."
Thomas replied, "Huh? So, Mommy, you're saying we won't have to go back? I can stay
and inherit the scumbag's entire estate? Awesome!"
Madeline was rendered speechless.
…
Meanwhile, Noah was standing by the window wall at the Golden Dome International
District when he noticed Thomas getting out of the taxi with his small backpack
downstairs. His heart, which had previously been tense, was now at ease.
She didn't leave!
"Do you think Maddie really wants to take Colt away from you, Noah?" Dylan came over
with a bottle of beer and handed it to Noah.
Without much thought, Noah took it. He took off the bottle cap and handed it back to him.
Dylan took the already opened bottle of beer and handed Noah a cup of hot chocolate
drink, satisfied.
"She can't leave."
"Are you absolutely certain? Are you so self-absorbed that you believe Maddie still loves
you?" Maddie had always confided to him that Noah was the light of her life in the past.
It was so disturbing that he almost couldn't keep his cool demeanor!
It was just that he was aware of the incident that occurred between them at the time. The
love of her life had personally delivered her to hell with his own hands.
Whoever had gone through such a thing could never love again!
Anyway, he felt Maddie's fault was that she had loved Noah, but she wasn't an idiot!
"I'm not sure if she still loves me, but I love her." Noah stood there watching Thomas enter
the Golden Dome International building. He turned around and activated the building's
security system.
