Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1163

"You're welcome," Helen replied good-naturedly. "It's getting late, and we have class tomorrow. Let's get some sleep."

"Okay, goodnight." Madelyn felt a weight lift off her shoulders now that there seemed to be solutions to her two biggest problems.

Just as Helen reached to turn off the light, her phone buzzed on the desk. Seeing Tommy's name pop up on the screen, she wondered why he would call her at this hour.

Even though it was odd, she still answered the call and held the phone to her ear.

"Boss! Help us!"

Bentley's shrill voice erupted from the receiver, nearly deafening Helen. Instinctively, she pulled the phone away from her ear. After a moment, she adjusted the volume and brought it back closer.

"Boss! Hurry up! We're surrounded! There are like ten of them. If you don't come, we're done for—"

Before Bentley could finish, it sounded like his phone was knocked to the ground. The line was filled with static.

"Hello? Bentley? What's going on? Hello?" Helen tried to get more information, but there was no response from the other end.

She hung up, quickly threw on a jacket, grabbed a baseball cap, and headed for the door. After a few steps, she paused.

No, she thought. She hadn't brought her set of anesthetic needles with her this time; handling this alone might be tricky.

Thinking it over, Helen decided to call Ambrose.

"Hey, what's up, calling me this late?" Ambrose's nightlife had become quite lively ever since Shawn helped remove the scar on his face, and this was just the start of his evening.

"I'll walk you downstairs," Madelyn offered. "The resident director here is my mom. It's late, and she won't let anyone out without a word."

Helen was surprised by Madelyn's straightforwardness but didn't comment.

Madelyn continued casually, "Yeah, with my condition, she's not comfortable letting me stay at school alone."

From her tone, it was clear that the mother and daughter shared a close bond.

Helen smiled gently. Despite being plagued by illness, Madelyn was fortunate to have a mother who cared for her so deeply.

The two of them quickly reached the ground floor, where Madelyn's mother readily opened the door for Helen and promised to wait for her return.
