Aggressive Wife

Chapter 110

“What about you, mommy?”

“What about me?”

“Do you still like that scumbag?” Thomas smoothly turned into gossip mode. His eyes widened in anticipation for Madeline’s answer.

“Mommy used to like him when we were young, but now…” Madeline smiled and quit chit chatting with Thomas since she was eager to return to Maple Forest Villa. She had Albert prepare their belongings in advance of their return, so that they could leave immediately.

Madeline assumed that because she felt so out of place after her "death," she would feel no desire to stay. Yet, she felt empty within, as if she had lost something valuable. Even though she was well past her prime, the ghosts of her past continued to haunt her. Furthermore, Noah never liked her. Despite his current affections for her, Madeline did not want to risk dealing with his contempt if he learnt that she was the woman he had hated for years.

Madeline, lost in her thoughts, failed to notice the black car speeding out into the crossroad. The car came racing at her as though the driver was expecting her to pass by. Luckily, Madeline was quick on her feet and stepped on the gas, sending her van rushing forward. Although there was a slight collision caused by the black car scraping the back of the van, they managed to avoid a fatal accident. Madeline was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she realized that the black car had abruptly turned around toward her van’s direction.

Something was off. Almost instantly, the black car began a high-speed pursuit of her van. They had been waiting for her and the accident was on purpose! Upon realizing this, Madeline quickly sped up the van.

“Hang on tight, Thomas! Mommy’s going to take us on a race!!”

“Yeah!” Thomas’s face lit up after hearing that.

“I’ll help you check the navigation app, mommy! Let’s lose that car together!” Thomas added while hurriedly taking out his phone and brought up the map. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alright!” Madeline responded and focused back on the road.

In the earlier attempt to avoid a collision with the black car, she had missed the turning point leading back into the city and was now headed down Hershey Hairpin. Hershey Hairpin was a treacherous mountain route with sharp twists and turns, while on their right was a deadly, steep cliff. Madeline glanced in the rearview mirror at her son, who was concentrating on the navigation app, and then at the black car that was hot on their wheels. She could not help but worry. Pursued by unknown individuals in an unfamiliar territory was enough for her to worry about her son’s safety. Madeline, grasping tightly at the wheel, realized that she had to get away with her son. With that in mind, she set her sights on escaping the steep mountain roads.

“Mommy, if we take a right at the next three junctions, it’ll bring us back to the main road!”

“Got it!” Madeline answered and drove the van as if it was a racing car! All the while, she updated Albert on their real-time location, so that he could get someone to pick them up at the main road.

Madeline’s driving skills were never in question, but the wounds at her wrist had reopened after dragging Angie, as fresh blood started oozing through the nano-bandage. She dared not relax at the time, and though the pain was dull, she could feel the wound opening again. Terrified, she was unsure if she and her young kid could make it out alive…

After getting past the second turn, Madeline kept her eyes fixed on the road ahead while switching swiftly between the brakes and the accelerator, getting ready to turn at any time. Meanwhile, the black

car had caught up and was trying to find an opening to overtake and cut her off. In response, Madeline swung the van's wheel rapidly to the curb, bringing the black automobile to a screeching halt as the driver slammed on the emergency brake. The driver was probably caught off guard by her daring maneuver, which nearly resulted in the vehicle sliding off the cliff.

On the other hand, Madeline seized the opportunity to reach the last junction as quickly as possible. They could finally return to the city after making this final turn! At one point, Madeline had caught a glimpse of the driver when the black car had caught up to them and they were racing side by side on the winding mountain road. He was wearing a cap, mask, and black overalls… He resembled Lone Fox! Madeline could not believe her eyes as Lone Fox had been severely injured and was apparently in critical condition at Dylan’s lab. Yet, she was puzzled by the resemblance of the driver! Despite being confused, Madeline regained her composure and drove on. As they approached the final turn, Madeline gripped firmly onto the wheel for the final push.

Unfortunately, one of the van’s wheels burst abruptly with a bang, as it appeared to be damaged by their high-speed pursuit. The van suddenly began to sway erratically, sending Madeline into a panic state. She desperately turned the wheel in an effort to stop the van by having it scrape up against the mountain. The vehicle was then rendered immobile by the scrape and could go no farther, but with someone hot on their trail, Madeline could not stand by and await their doom. She felt lightheaded for a moment, but quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and stepped out of the car.

“Thomas, we’re leaving the car!” Madeline shouted after stepping out of the car.

Thomas simultaneously unbuckled his seatbelt and hugged onto Madeline, as the two of them fled for the trees. Before they went into the forest, Madeline quickly started the van’s engine and before long, the van lurched dangerously close to the cliff before toppling off. They were able to find cover just in time before the black car caught up. Seeing the van falling off the cliff, the driver stepped out and checked from the clifftop. He seemed to have taken out his phone to take a few pictures before

scanning around the surroundings. He then got back into his car and continued down the mountain road.

Madeline could finally relax after assuming that the black car had been gone. Instead of hurriedly getting up, she sat on the ground while hugging Thomas and let out a deep sigh. It was a close call for them! After taking a short break, Madeline informed Albert of their location, in which Albert quickly responded that he was close by. She then got back to her feet and planned to carry Thomas down the mountain road.

Suddenly, just as they were walking down Hershey Hairpin, Madeline heard the roar of a car’s engine. She turned to look back and to her surprise, a black car was speeding toward them. That person was waiting for them!
