Chapter 439


    Chapter 439 Wait For Me


    Noah managed to jump out of the truck with Madeline''s help. However, before she could escape, the


    vehicle started to move. Noah looked anxiously as the girl tried to support herself with the iron rods.


    Without hesitation, Noah started to chase the truck. Unfortunately, he soon ran out of breath and could


    only watch helplessly as the car disappeared from view.


    Hope turned into despair as Madeline saw no chance of escape. She overheard the traffickers iming


    they were pursued by the Quincy family while hiding in the cupboard boxes. Hence, they decided to


    elerate their n by punishing the boy, as they feared they could not receive the ransom. At that


    moment, Madeline was relieved that Noah managed to flee; or else, his life would have been in danger.


    The truck spent the entire night on the road. When the kidnappers realized Noah was gone the next


    morning, they threatened Madeline to reveal his whereabouts. The girl bit her lip and refused to say a


    word. When one of the captors approached her with his leather belt, she closed her eyes and anxiously


    waited for the whipping pain to sear her skin.


    Madeline opened her eyes after what felt like an eternity of waiting to discover all the kidnappers dead


    on the ground. They were moaning in pain, and their bodies were covered with bruises. A stunning


    woman wielding a whip stood alongside them, looking like a heroine. "How dare you attack my


    people?" she yelled as she trod on one of the kidnappers'' chests. "Are you sick and tired of living?"


    "Please spare our lives! We are sorry!" the kidnappers begged. However, the woman did not show


    them mercy and gave them a swift kick. Madeline could almost hear the sound of the trafficker''s ribs


    cracking.


    "Are you afraid of me?" The beautiful woman kicked the human trafficker away and proudly looked at


    Madeline. The girl shook her head, and before she could even speak, the sound of a police siren came


    from behind. Her savior immediately went into her sports car and drove off. Since then, Madeline


    always thought that she might have had a dream that day, dreaming that a goddess hade to


    rescue her.


    The police rescued Madeline and brought her back to the Grant family. She saw the boy who was with


    her on television. His grandfather held him in his arms and cried, feeling heartbroken.


    In contrast, when Madeline arrived home, she was met with derision from Suzette and pushed to do


    extra housework by Angie. Bruno, on the other hand, had no idea Madeline had been abducted by


    human traffickers. He med her for being too yful and escaped from home for several days.


    A few monthster, Suzette used the excuse of taking Madeline and Angie to a resort to leave the


    former alone in that seaside vige. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be picked up by an olddy


    who lived alone by the sea and was taken care of as her granddaughter for nearly half a year.


    One day, Madeline met Noah again. She saw Jasper, who always bullied her in the vige, digging a


    hole and burying something on the beach. She thought they had buried her little dog, Little Flower, so


    after they left, she went to dig up the hole. To her surprise, she found a little boy buried in the sand. He


    did not recognize Madeline, even though she knew away that he was the boy she rescued from the


    human traffickers. Feeling annoyed, she also pretended not to know him on purpose.


    The duo yed at the beach all day, and after Noah''s family took him away, she saw two people


    standing on a nearby reef, a man and a woman. They were very good-looking, just like heavenly


    fairies.


    Fuzzy-headed, Madeline walked to them and asked, "Are you immortals?"


    The woman smiled. "We are your parents."


    "No, you aren''t." The brightness in Madeline''s eyes dimmed as she lowered her head to kick the sand


    beneath her toes.


    "We''vee to take you home. Will youe with us?" The woman''s voice choked up.


    The man next to her hugged her waist tenderly, wanting to stop her from saying those words. However,


    Madeline stared at her in confusion, not understanding what she meant. When she heard some


    vigers calling her name, saying that her grandmother had fainted at home, she no longer cared about


    the beautiful couple and turned to run home.


    When Madeline arrived home, she saw Bruno, Suzette, and Angie standing in front of the old


    dpidated house, with an unconscious old woman lying on the ground.


    "Grandma!" Madeline wanted to help the olddy up. Before she could do so, Bruno grabbed her arm


    and shouted sternly, "She''s a human trafficker, not your grandmother!"

    "You''re lying! She''s my grandma, not a human trafficker! You''re all bad people! Why don''t you just


    die?!" Madeline, who had always been weak, red at Bruno like a wolf cub and yelled at him. The


    man was infuriated by Madeline''s words. He gave her a hard smack and hauled her away from the


    vige without any reason.


    Later, when the girl grew up, she returned to that vige, but it had already developed into a tourist


    attraction and had changed beyond recognition. Even now, she did not know when her grandmother


    passed away or if anyone buried her.


    As she thought about the past, Madeline''s mood became a little low. But what was lost was lost, and


    she did not want to dwell on it anymore. It''s just that the photo she saw in Simon''s office earlier also


    captured the couple she once thought were gods. She had thought she was dreaming all this while until


    she saw that photo that day and confirmed they existed. Unfortunately, Simon''s photo was a copy, and


    it was hard to see the appearance of those two people clearly.


    Just then, Noah, who had been tirelessly calling her, made his tenth call, and she steadied her


    emotions and answered.


    "The little girl by the sea, is that you?" Noah asked, his voice tinged with excitement despite Madeline


    not answering his calls.


    The woman replied calmly, "Yes, can you give me the original of that photo?"


    "Sure, I''ll give you anything you want." The man was over the moon to hear of the confirmation.


    "So, when can I get it?" Madeline asked.


    "Wait for me toe back." When Noah noticed the urgency and impatience in Madeline''s voice, his


    joy diminished. He wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he felt she probably would not tell him.


    "Okay." Madeline had just remembered the couple''s story and was eager to confirm their identity. Now


    that she had talked to Noah, her excited feelings had calmed down.


    As the conversation topic had ended, Madeline was ready to hang up the phone. However, Noah did


    not want to end the call just like that. "Aren''t you going to ask me when I''ll be back?"
