Chapter 320
When Madeline received a call from thew enforcement unit, she happened to be putting her sons to
sleep. While Quincy and Alex were doing just fine upon returning home, Joel appeared to be rather
lackadaisical and tired, no matter how the others tried to lift his spirit. Apart from that, he only picked at
his dinner and even vomited after his meal. As Madeline and Sebastian were getting worried over their
son''s condition, they approached Leigh and Edward to check on the sick child, but the doctors assured
them that the boy was fine. However, they both opined that Madeline and Sebastian should let the boy
have a good night''s rest since he had a bad appetite, thinking he would probably feel better the next
morning.
After Sebastian and Madeline bathed the boys, they ced the children in the middle and put them
both to sleep. And as soon as the children fell asleep, Madeline''s phone rang. Then, she heard the
prison warden telling her everything Isabel wanted her to know before urging her to provide any useful
information to the police as well. After all, the attempted murder outside the school was a serious
criminal offense that the police did not take kindly to. And if Isabel was telling the truth, the police
hoped that they could gather the evidence necessary to bring Angie to justice.
Worried that she might wake the kids up, Madeline went to the room next door and answered her call.
After finishing the tele-conversation, she hung up the call and was then deep in thought. Then, she let
out a sigh before giving Crystal a call. In less than a second, the phone was answered and Crystal''s
concerned voice sounded from the other line. "Maddie?"
"Mom." Madeline asked, "How are you doing? I hope your heart isn''t giving you issues."
"I''m fine. Don''t worry about me." Crystal then asked, "What about you and the kids? Are you all
alright?"
"Yeah, we''re fine. The kids have gone to bed." Madeline added with a soft voice, "Mom, is… Dad by
your side now?"
Crystal took a glimpse at Michael sitting beside her and said, "Yes, he is. Do you want to talk to him?"
"No… There''s something that I''d like to tell you and Dad about." Madeline merely wanted to know
whether her father was right next to her mother. After all, it was only wise to tell Crystal any bad news
when someone was around. If by any chance she had a heart attack after learning the news, there
would be someone to take care of her at least.
Having a bad feeling, Crystal asked anxiously, "What''s going on, Maddie? Are you sure you and the
kids are fine?"
"Yeah, we''re fine. The kids are asleep, and Sebastian is currently by their side." Madeline then added,
"Mom, I have something I want to tell you about Angie. But before that, please promise me that you''re
going to stay calm, no matter what you hearter."
"Angie?" Crystal''s voice became cold. "What is it about her?"
Madeline then went on to tell Crystal what she learned from the prison warden. "Mom, if Isabel is telling
the truth, that Angie had something to do with the incident, I definitely won''t let her off so easily this
time. Even if there''s no evidence to expose her crime, I will not let her go unpunished."
Wrapping her fingers tightly around her phone, Crystal breathed heavily as her heart palpitated. While
gritting her teeth, she responded, "Like mother, like daughter! She is a wicked woman and an animal
without conscience, just like her mother!"
"Mom, the reason I''m calling you now is because I want to tell you what I think about the matter. As far
as I know Isabel, I don''t think she would be lying about this. Angie tried to kill my sons, and I''m going to
make her pay the ultimate price. So, I''d like you and Dad to give my brothers a heads-up because I
don''t want to oppose them. However, for the sake of my kids'' safety, I won''t back down either even if
they insist on protecting Angie!" Madeline spoke with a cold voice. Although she could tolerate those
who tried to hurt her, she could not forgive those who tried to harm her sons. Moreover, she also
believed that Angie was responsible for the state that Luke and Leonard were in.
Deep down, Madeline begrudgingly admitted that Angie was smart enough to use Isabel to do her dirty
work without getting herself into trouble. Although she did not have any evidence to prove Angie guilty,
she was confident that her n to exact her revenge on Angie would not be affected. She believed in
Isabel''s words, and it was all the reason she needed to go after Angie and make her pay the price.
Though Madeline was aware of thews that governed modern society, she did not think it was hard to
make that wicked woman suffer. As long as she had the determination to do so, she would make it
happen even without viting thew or getting her hands dirty. However, she could only do that if
Angie was not protected by anyone powerful such as the Wendel Family. If Cedric insisted on standing
in her way to protect Angie likest time, Madeline swore she would not back down again this time. In
fact, she remained firm with her stance even if it meant the entire Wendel Family would oppose her as
she was determined to take out the culprit who tried to harm her sons. I will not go soft this time!
"Don''t worry, Maddie. Your brothers will understand. They won''t protect a culprit who tried to kill you
and your kids, but…" Crystal worriedly said, "Maddie, I understand that you are trying to protect your
kids. At the same time, I also understand your rage and hatred for those who tried to harm your
children. However, I want you to always stay calm and rational, Maddie. Don''t let yourself be blinded by
anger and break thew. Angie is a lost cause, but you''re different. You have a bright future ahead of
you, so don''t ruin it because of Angie."

"Angie?" Crystal''s voice became cold. "What is it about her?"
Madeline chuckled and replied, "Don''t worry, Mom. I still have to look after Quincy and Joel, and I want
to watch them grow up and get married. So, I''m going to take good care of my future without ruining it
for Angie. Like you said, it''s not worth it after all."
"I''m d you think that way." Crystal said, "It''s gettingte now, so your dad and I won''t be heading
over today. You and the kids should get some rest. We will pay you a visit tomorrow."
"Alright, Mom. I got it." Madeline sighed as she hung up the phone and walked out of the room,
heading toward the room next door. The moment she opened a crack at the door to take a peek into
the room where her sons were, she was shocked to find out that the bed was empty. She then heard
voicesing from the bathroom. She rushed to the sources of the voices while calling out to her
children. "Quincy? Joel?" When she got to the bathroom, she saw Joel standing in front of the toilet
bowl where he was bending over to puke. At the same time, Sebastian was crouching down behind
him, gently patting his back.
Not long after that, Quincy came with a ss of water in his hands, gazing at Joel with a pair of tearful
eyes while trying tofort his little brother. "Hey, Joel. Everything is going to be alright. You''re going
to feel better after vomiting."
In the meantime, Madeline''s eyes were filled with tears as she felt a lump in her throat. She then
approached Joel and squatted down beside the child, gently rubbing his back. "Good boy, Joel. Quincy
is right. You''re going to feel better after vomiting."
As Joel bent over and continued to puke, he vomited everything he ate during dinner until there was
nothing left but yellowish liquiding out of his mouth. The boy was shedding tears as he weakly and
painfully endured the unbearable difort.
Meanwhile, Sebastian wrapped his arm around the boy in an anxious manner, finally understanding
why a parent would wish to be in his child''s position in a situation like that. Seeing Joel''s misery,
Sebastian really wished he could bear the pain for his son instead. He would rather suffer from an
illness tenfold more unbearable than Joel''s difort to save the boy from any further suffering.
