Chapter 580


    Chapter 580 - We Can’t Let Them Divorce


    As Madeline helped Xander out of the bar, they bumped into Noah, smoking beside his ck Rolls


    Royce. The smoke had covered his expression, but the air around him seemed a little gloomy.


    Upon seeing Madelinee out, Noah paused, but did not approach. Even when Lucas nudged him


    on the arm, he did not react. He simply stared daggers at Madeline.


    Lucas helplessly stepped forward and gave Madeline a hand in supporting Xander. “Hey Madeline,


    Noah has been looking for you all day.”


    Madeline nodded lightly in response, then turned to Xander and asked, “Did you drive?”


    Xander nodded, then handed his car keys over to Madeline and told her where he had parked.


    Madeline pulled Xander’s arm over her shoulder, then propped him up all by herself. She said to Lucas,


    “I’m going to take him to the hospital.”


    Lucas was trying to find the right words, but Madeline was already on her way, not bothering to look at


    him or Noah.


    “Bro, are you just going to stand here and watch?” Lucas asked Noah.


    Putting out his cigarette, Noah got back into his car, started the engine and drove off.


    Standing helplessly, Lucas was greeted with a plume of smoke from the exhaust. He cursed in his


    thoughts, ‘Talk about getting your just desserts.’ He then went looking for Mia with the car key in hand.


    Driving at breakneck speeds, Noah was both angered and saddened. He even thought, ‘If I get into an


    ident here, will Madeline leave Xander ande see me?’


    However, even when arge truck had quickly approached from the front, he still turned the steering


    wheel and evaded it in ample time. Promptly turning his car around, he drove off in the direction


    Madeline had left in.


    By the time Madeline had brought Xander to the hospital, his fever was already at life-threatening


    levels. Madeline felt incredibly worried for him. Xander had always been in poor health, and with all the


    untreated injuries he sustained, it was no wonder his condition was so serious.


    If Xander were to beatose again because of her, Madeline would never be able to forgive


    herself.


    Noah had followed Madeline all the way to the hospital. Watching her nerve-wracked expression from


    afar, he felt a tinge of regret, realizing he had failed to recognize how important Xander was to her.


    After a couple hours, Xander was admitted into a ward. He was hooked to an IV, wounds treated and


    fever subsided. However, he had yet toe.


    Madeline silently watched over from the side. As Xander’s fever returned, Madeline went out to look for


    a doctor, noticing Noah’s figure standing from outside the ss.


    After the doctor had examined Xander, Madeline left the ward, looking for Noah. She wanted to tell him


    to go on ahead back home and look after the children. However, she noticed him on the phone from a


    distance. After which, he hurriedly left.


    Madeline furrowed her brows. After charging her phone, she gave Thomas a call, worried that Noah


    had left in such a hurry because the children were in trouble.


    “Mommy, where are you? Why aren’t you home?” Thomas and the rest of the kids had been waiting


    back home for a long time for Noah and Madeline to return, but neither of them did. The children got


    concerned that their parents were having a big fight and were going to leave them.


    “Mommy just bumped into your godfather, and he’s sick, so I’m here with him at the hospital,” Madeline


    replied.


    Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. Mackenzie snatched the phone over and asked, “Mommy, is Daddy


    there with you?”


    “No, he isn’t. Where are you right now?” Although Madeline was sure that Natalia would send the


    children back home, she was skeptical that they would sit quietly at home and not go anywhere.


    Evidently, her concerns werepletely valid, as the children were on their way towards the Quincy


    family vi.


    “We’re inside a rental car right now. We couldn’t get in touch with you or Daddy, so we figured you were


    at Daddy’s ce and decided to go find you,” Mackenzie exined weakly.


    Hearing this, Madeline immediately pulled up the children’s location and saw that the children were


    indeed moving towards the Quincy family vi. However, as they were still a ways away, she quickly


    sent Albert a text and had him go escort them.


    Madeline felt a little apologetic for neglecting the children the entire night.


    “Mommy, what time will you be home?” Colton asked nervously. He wasn’t sure if their mother was


    aware that their father had kissed another woman.


    “I’ll be back tomorrow morning, once your Uncle Xander has woken up. Don’t be afraid. Albert will be


    there with you,” Madeline’s tone was gentle when talking to Colton, who had always been the obedient


    one.


    “Mommy, you wille back, right?” Colton asked anxiously.


    Madeline could tell something was wrong based on the small verbal cues in the children’s voices and


    how they were rushing to the Quincy family vi in the middle of the night. However, given the


    circumstances, she didn’t have the luxury of worrying too much about it and simply tried her best to


    pacify the children’s concerns for the meantime.


    “Of course I’lle back. Take care of Thomas for me and don’t go anywhere else.”


    There were simply too many people out there trying to grab ahold of both her and Noah’s weak point


    right now. It was too risky for the children to be out on their own.


    “Okay,” Colton immediately agreed.


    Thomas was a little annoyed seeing his brother hang up the phone so quickly. He red at Colton,


    “Why did you keep the fact that Daddy cheated from Mommy?”


    “Daddy would never cheat,” Colton answered confidently.

    “We all saw it with our own eyes. Why are you still defending him?! I can’t believe you’d do this to


    Mommy!” Thomas angrily shoved Colton.


    Colton felt pain from knocking his head on the car door, but that was not his concern at the moment. He


    anxiously exined, “Sometimes, things are not what they appear to be. Maybe the person we saw


    wasn’t Daddy, or maybe they weren’t actually kissing? If we tell Mommy without first confirming the


    truth for ourselves, it might lead to them getting a divorce. Is that something you want?”


    Thomas lowered his head in frustration, while Mackenzie looked at Colton and calmly said, “We won’t


    let anyone bully Mommy, not even if it was Daddy. If Mommy is unhappy, we’ll take her away from this


    ce. We got by well enough without Daddy the past five years.”


    Colton had wanted to try and convince Thomas and Mackenzie some more, but upon hearing


    Mackenzie’s reply, he could no longer find the words.


    For the past five years, Thomas and Mackenzie had been happy, even without their father around.


    However, the same could not be said for Colton without his mother.


    It had been like this the past five years, and it would continue to be like that in the future.


    That was why Colton could never let his mother find out and cause both her and his father to divorce.


    “Can we tell Mommy after we find Daddy and confirm what happened, at least? Please?” Colton’s voice


    had adopted a pleading tone this time around.


    Deep down, neither Mackenzie nor Thomas wanted their parents to split up either, so after some


    thought, they both eded.


    After ten or so minutes, Albert arrived, stopping the rental car that the children were in, then brought


    them into the family’s Aston Martin.
