Chapter 431 Stop Playing With Fire

"Don't call for help; the police will find you all soon." Madeline was finally at the end of the passage; she did not dare to push the floor tiles above her head rashly, as she was afraid Fred's men might be standing right on top.

"Okay, I get it; we will not call for help." The woman heard Madeline's words and said to everyone, "Everyone saw what happened just now, right? The woman talking to me saved us; she asked us to stay put and wait for the police to rescue us."

Some women believed her words, but some did not. Yet no one tried to challenge her words. It was better to be hopeful; they were also worried that a hastily made call for help would attract the bodyguards instead of the police.

They were afraid that they might end up being raped.

Madeline sent messages to Jacob in the underground passage; where she stood now had a better signal than before. She outlined her rough location and also the route she had walked for Jacob, hoping he could calculate her current location.

When Madeline was dealing with Fred and the others, Jacob had successfully obtained the map of the castle.

So, Jacob replied to Madeline after a short while, "You're underneath Joseph's room now."

I'm underneath Joseph's room? Madeline was confused. Why would Fred build a secret passage to Joseph's room? Does he know about it?

He shouldn't know about it, right? If not, Fred should be sending someone after me now.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She had walked in the passage alone for quite some time.

"Look into his room for me now."

Just to be safe, she would not impulsively open the tiles.

Fortunately, Jacob had already arrived outside of the castle. He parked his car in a hidden place, and he remotely controlled a camera the size of a fly to fly into the castle.

Along the way, he saw three or four police cars parked inside the castle, and a dozen uniformed policemen were searching for the women in the castle.

Fred exchanged looks with someone from the police team, and both of them went to a shaded corner.

Jacob had to help Madeline escape before Fred started to look for her, so he did not eavesdrop on their conversation and went straight to Joseph's room.

The door was closed tightly; he tried to control the fly camera to go in through the side window.

Jacob remotely controlled the fly camera to look around the room, and it stopped at the gigantic bed for a few seconds. He even purposely landed it on the person laying on the bed.

But the man did not respond at all.

Jacob controlled the fly camera to circulate near his ear, but he merely frowned without further movement.

He was confused, and he scratched the skin on the man's face with the small blade on the fly's feet. The man hissed and touched his wound, but he still did not wake up.

Jacob was not sure if he was really asleep or pretending to be so Madeline would fall into his trap.

Hence, he used the fly camera to screenshot the footage from the video to send it to Madeline, and he said, "The man was lying still on the bed; there's no one other than him in the room. Fred and his men are outside, blocked by the police."

Madeline recognized Joseph the moment she saw the picture. Even if he's pretending to be asleep to trap me, I can still resist if he's alone.

So, Madeline hesitated for a while before deciding to push open the tile.

The tile was right beside Joseph's bedside; she quickly pushed open the tile and jumped out of the spot. And she put the tile back and covered the mat again.

She stood by the bed and patted the dust off her hands, and she discovered Joseph's abnormality.

She reached out to touch his forehead; it was burning.

Why didn't Fred send him to the hospital when he was this sick?

She frowned, and she heard him murmuring; he was thirsty. She sympathized with him, so she poured a cup of water for him and fed him. Joseph suddenly opened his eyes when he felt water entering his mouth.

Their eyes met, and it was pretty awkward.

"Maddie, what did Thomas feed me this time? I'm dying." He curled his lips, and he coughed severely.

She patted his back, and she thought of how naughty Thomas was. There was once a time when Joseph accidentally broke his favorite toy. He was so furious that he stole some drugs from the master and put them in Joseph's bowl and cup.

Joseph experienced severe diarrhea, and he even went to the hospital for gastric lavage. Thomas was frightened by him being hospitalized, so he stopped taking revenge on him.

She sighed, thinking of their past and seeing where they were now. She fed him some cold medicine, and she said, "I've got to go; please ask someone to send you to the hospital."

Joseph stared at her for a while; she was not sure if he was sober or blurred. He called out to her when she was about to open the door, "Don't leave from there."

She turned around and looked at him in confusion.

His eyes were closed, and he put his hand on his forehead. He said in a hoarse voice, "There's a secret door behind the antique shelf; it leads to the back garden; it's not heavily guarded there."

"Thanks." She walked toward the antique shelf, and she activated the secret door after Jacob's confirmation with her.

She secretly thought that Joseph and his men were exaggerating by making so many secret doors and passages.

After stepping into the door, she turned around and said, "Jo, you've tried to hurt me so many times before, and I haven't taken my revenge yet. So stop playing with fire in case you accidentally get yourself killed. It's boring for me."

"Don't you worry, I won't die before Noah!"

She nodded and hurriedly left. She was looking around on her way out. Jo is such a nostalgic person; I burned down the whole place, but he rebuilt everything in merely months.

Even the roses look the same, blooming so delicately.

"Ms. Madeline." Jacob picked her up and quickly drove away from the castle.

She was relieved when she saw the policemen bringing out the women from the castle through the rear-view mirror.

"What happened in the castle? Why didn't the police catch that man? He's the owner of the castle, right?" Jacob just got back to the country, so he was not familiar with the powerful people in here. But he could guess that the man lying on the luxurious bed should be the castle owner.
