Chapter 206
The Quinton Corporation.
Noah was sitting in front of his desk, looking at the information he had recently collected on the more famous international medical doctors.
Although Dylan claimed that he could treat Madeline, hiring more experts to help might get a better result.
For the sake of Madeline's health, more preparation is never a bad thing.
He always felt that Dylan looked a little tired recently, and wondered if he was working too hard.
As Noah was thinking about Dylan, his video call came in.
Noah stared at the video call invitation in the Instagram message box on the computer screen. He somehow chose to ignore it after a few seconds of hesitation.
However, this guy seemed to have made up his mind and will not stop calling until Noah picked up.
He kept calling after hung up.
Noah had no choice but to answer the video call.
On the phone screen, Dylan's face soon appeared.
"Noah, what are you doing? Why aren't you answering my calls?"
"I don't want to."
"Aww, Noah! You can't do this to me! You're the only person in this world who's good to me." This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"So, are you calling me now to lose me?" Noah leaned back in his chair and looked at him with an obviously bored face.
"You guys are bullying me." Dylan made some sobbing noises during the call.
"You guys? Who else can stand you besides me?"
"Noah, you don’t know, Elise is not a woman, she hit me! (crying) You must do something for me!"
"It’s not the first time she hit you, just bear with it, for the sake of her being Madeline’s best friend." Looking at Dylan crying so miserably, Noah had no choice but to advise and calm him down.
"Hmph, you and Madeline are such a lovely couple, even both of you gave me the same idea!” Dylan was so aggrieved, could not help but complain.
"I love to hear that."
"You! Well, this is what I deserve, for being your friend, but Maddie is being too much. Even if she do not want to answer my call, she actually blocked me! You better call her now to let her unblock me, or I am going to unfriend her!"
"She blocked you? That’s not possible, after all, our dear son is now in your hands ... Wait, when did you find out that she blocked you?"
"Just now, I just called her. Her phone number is no longer available!"
Noah felt something was not right and immediately dialed Madeline.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available ......"
"Ah? So I'm not the only one who was blocked, so happy! Hahahaha!"
Dylan felt better after hearing the reply from the other end.
"Noah, what’s wrong? Why are you so quiet?" Feeling guilty for laughing out loud, Dylan carefully asked.
At this time, Wayne ran in hurriedly, with sweat over his head.
"Sir, we just received the news that Mrs. Quincy had gone to Skeynia Castle ..."
That was Joseph’s territory!
Wayne rushed to report this news in the first place, as he was worried that Mrs. Quincy might be in danger.
"Go, let’s find out."
As the news struck, Noah immediately got up, his expression became gloomy, and went out with Wayne.
At the same time, Dylan overheard their conversation, and saw Noah had left in a rush, he also felt anxiety.
Otherwise, Noah should not be so panicked.
"Be careful, Noah. Take care of your old wound!"
Dylan shouted from the other end of the phone, but no one else was in the office.
...
Madeline lowered her presence all the way, and with the help of the thermal detector, she managed to arrive at the entrance to the basement.
The entrance was an ancient-looking wooden door.
The paint on the door has fallen off a lot, probably due to old age and not being maintained well. When looking closely, you could feel that age had left its traces.
The door was installed with a password lock.
She first checked on the thermal detector to make sure there was no one behind the door, and then began to carefully study the construction of the lock.
It was an imported old-fashioned combination lock.
The year of production was probably at least twenty years old.
The battery of the combination lock of that era should be outside the lock.
Just take out its battery and discharge both poles, it will automatically restore the factory settings.
Madeline’s gloved hand gently felt around the combination lock and soon found the location of the battery box.
She was so happy that she hurriedly reached out to feel a slim black hairpin in her hair.
She took the slender hairpin and carefully scraped the bottom of the combination lock, then heard a click, and the whole lock was powered off short.
She took the battery out, rubbed it on both ends, and reinstalled it.
Sure enough, soon the combination lock automatically reverted to its initial settings.
The password also turned out to be the simplest six digits of "0".
Madeline tried to enter the password, and the door opened with a click.
Madeline smiled proudly, pulled open the door, and stepped in.
However, she did not expect that someone had actually designed a "ten-thousand-foot cliff" behind the door!
She took a step in the air and plunged directly towards the bottom.
Luckily, she was quick enough to take out the rope and hooked it to the door handle inside, so that she could barely hang herself on the wall.
The entire space is somewhat dim, and after her eyes have adapted to the surrounding light, she can see clearly the structure of the inside.
This door directly led to a deep bottomless chasm.
Someone who was not skilled enough might become a corpse from this fall!
She had only seen this kind of pun in those funny videos.
She did not expect that Joseph actually made an identical one, such a psycho!
Madeline cursed him from the bottom of her heart.
She grasped onto the rope and tried to get her body to lean against the wall for a little support.
She turned on the miniature flashlight and looked below, and found that about thirty meters down, there seemed to be bright.
She surmised that this place was probably the next-door mezzanine of the basement, and going down, she could still enter the basement as long as she passed through the place where there was an articulation.
But it was so dark down there. She wasn't quite sure if she could land safely.
For now, the safest way probably was to get back up there and look for another entrance.
After all, the people in this castle would not be swinging in this deep pit every day to enter the basement, right?
Madeline made up her mind and began to grab the rope and climb up.
Unfortunately, she just moved for less than a meter, and the wooden door handle that was hooked by the rope squeaked a breaking sound ...
