Chapter 111

Madeline panicked.

"Mommy, look out!" yelled a terrified Thomas as he wrapped his tiny arms around her neck.

"Don't worry, mommy's here. Close your eyes." replied Madeline as she glared at the black car that was heading towards them. The car was very close and judging from its speed, it was too late for them to run back up the mountain to hide. In desperation, she sought out a slightly raised boulder and huddled behind it while shielding Thomas with her body to provide an additional layer of protection.

She estimated that from the angle of impact, the car would miss Thomas.

In that moment of danger, all Madeline could think of was to ensure that Thomas would survive, the last thing on her mind was her own safety.

Cradling Thomas, Madeline covered his head with her hands as she braced for impact. She was already prepared to face her fate.

However, when she heard the loud crash of the impact, she felt nothing. There was no pain at all.

She turned around and saw a black Rolls-Royce planted firmed in between them and the black car. The other car's hood was destroyed after it rammed into the Rolls-Royce and smoke was coming out from the engine.

The door to the Rolls-Royce suddenly opened and a familiar figure emerged from the car.

Noah?!

He was wearing a black wool coat. The dazzling embroidery on the coat's cuffs was glistening in the sunlight, making Noah look like a knight in shining armor, even if for a brief moment.

As he turned around, a terrifying amount of blood could be seen staining his sculpted face.

Seeing Madeline looking at him in a daze, Noah took two quick steps forward and pulled her into his arms.

"Are you alright, Madeline?" he asked worriedly.

"I, I'm alright. You're hurt and you're still bleeding... is it painful?" replied Madeline. She was so overwhelmed with emotions that she almost cried.

For some unexplained reason, the moment she saw that man emerging from the car, her heart leaped with excitement and she knew they were saved from the clutches of death.

To Madeline, Noah was like a god who appeared at the right time to scoop them out of trouble.

She gently touched Noah's forehead. Her eyes were teary.

Noah looked at her and he suddenly spaced out.
