“Alright. Be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll just tell him that it’s a regular checkup. Mr. Williams won’t find out.”
Hunter received a call from Mona. Even though he hadn’t visited Madison in a while, he was aware of Madison’s every move.
Mona didn’t know what he was thinking. She simply thought that he was watching Madison silently.
He was protecting Madison as if he were the best ex-husband in the world.
“Mr. Williams, Ms. Evans wants to get a pregnancy checkup.”
A pair of wedding rings lay on Hunter’s desk. He caressed the large diamond with his fingers, his expression unfathomable.
“Alright, I’ll have it arranged.”
Mona sighed in relief. “I knew you care about Ms. Evans the most, Mr. Williams. I have no idea why she’s wary of you even when it comes to her pregnancy.”
With a dark smile on his face, Hunter ended the call. He placed the ring back into its box.
Getting up, he walked up to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
The sky was gray, and it looked like it was about to rain.
It was just after work hours. People flooded the streets, and cars formed a continuous stream on the road.
The tall buildings in the distance lit up one after the other. Hunter’s shadow extended far behind him.
Raindrops pelted on the glass. Then, they rolled downward, leaving trails behind them.
Hunter’s figure looked extra lonely against the rain.
Madison had once told him that it was cold at the top, so she would stay with him.
After a long while, Hunter took out his phone and dialed a number.
His voice was low as he said, “Yes, it’s me.”
When Madison received the reply, she should be happy about it, but she felt troubled for some reason.
She felt like things were going a little too smoothly.
Mona couldn’t understand why Madison was pacing around the room. “Madison, Mr. Williams agreed to it. Why are you so upset?”
“I…”
Madison placed her fingers on her chest. She couldn’t quite describe the feeling.
She felt like things weren’t supposed to turn out like this. Things went so smoothly that it felt suspicious.
“Didn’t he say anything else?”
Blinking with her clear eyes, Mona shook her head. “Nope. Madison, Mr. Williams loves you and cares about you more than you imagined.
“I believe that he’s marrying Ms. Davis out of obligation. He had given you all his love.”
After all, she would tell Hunter what kinds of food Madison liked and disliked.
After that, for every meal, the things Madison didn’t like to eat would never appear again. Instead, the flavors she preferred would be served in another form.
Hunter would pay high prices to buy ingredients from their local sources. He would have them flown in so that Madison could eat the freshest food.
He was a man of few words, but he had spoken every word for her.
If this wasn’t love, then Mona didn’t know what else was.
He was even worried that his love would be a burden to Madison, so he didn’t want Mona to reveal even a tiny bit of it.
Madison didn’t want to argue with Mona about whether Hunter loved her or not. She was fine with it as long as Hunter didn’t suspect anything.
Madison thought that being pregnant had made her sensitive and suspicious of everything.
She shook her head. “Alright, then. We’ll move according to plan.”
“Okay.”
“I’m going to check on Dad.”
Opening the door, Madison left. The wind was strong in the corridor. It had come from the patio.
The white sheer curtains on the patio were flapping wildly in the wind. The wisteria tree in the yard. outside had pretty flowers hanging from its branches.
But now, the flowers were scattered by the wind, and they lay wet on the ground.
It was another rainy day.
Frowning, Madison knocked on the door to Jeff’s room.
When the door opened, she saw Jeff dressed in white. He seemed lively, and his body looked like other person’s.
His shrunken calf had also gradually returned to normal as he recuperated.
He seemed to be in high spirits.
He could walk around for now, but he walked with a slow pace.
He couldn’t move freely like others, but it was much better than when he was bedridden.
He would need a year or two to heal completely.
“Dad, you’re still awake?” Madison supported him out of habit.
Smiling, Jeff said, “I was bored, so I decided to play some chess. What about you? Why haven’t you gone to bed?”
“I napped too much in the afternoon, so I can’t sleep at night.”
Jeff’s gaze fell upon her hand. “Do you still feel nothing in your hand after all that treatment?”
Madison smiled bitterly. “I felt nothing at all. It’s probably ruined.”
“Don’t give up. Even someone like me was cured, after all. You’re still so young, so you’ll recover quickly.”
“Okay.”
Madison chatted with Jeff for a long while.
Jeff voiced his request again. “Madison, I’ve been in good shape recently, so I think I can use phones now.
××
“Dad, phones are bad for your eyes. I think you should wait a little longer…”
Jeff’s expression remained gentle.
“Madison, are you worried that when I use a phone, I might see something I shouldn’t? If so, then I won’t look at it.”
Madison was not the only person refusing to give him the phone all this time. Hunter did the same thing, too.
Jeff could guess an inkling of the situation from that.
After all, he was a grown man, not a three-year-old kid.
She hurriedly said, “Dad, some things did happen while you were in a coma. I’m planning to tell you about it one by one after you recover.”
His fingers trembled when he heard that.
“I knew that something bad had happened. I woke up, and your hand is disabled! Your relationship with Hunter is bad as well. What happened?”
Noticing his vehement emotions, she quickly helped him to sit.
“Dad, look. This is why I didn’t wanna tell you. It’s nothing big. I had a fight with him because of some matters.
“Didn’t you see him begging me for forgiveness the whole day? If it was a serious matter, we would’ve parted ways already.”
Only then he was able to keep his cool. “You’re right. Hunter keeps promising me that he won’t let you down. So, what happened between the two of you?”
“Dad, I’ll tell you in a few days. You barely show signs of recovery.
“Have you forgotten what the doctor said? That you can’t take a shock at the moment?”
She poured him a glass of warm milk. “Actually, those matters are over. It’s normal for married couples to fight.
“If there’s a problem, solve it. It’s that easy. I’m big enough to handle it.”
“Okay, but you must tell me if anyone treats you badly. Even if I’m not in the state to do anything, I will make sure he pays for it.”
Madison faintly smiled. “Got it. I know that you love me the most in this world.”
He glanced at Jeff’s hands, which weren’t trembling that much anymore.
She shook the doubt off her head.
It wasn’t the right time to ask, so she decided to wait for some other day.
“Rest up,
Dad. I should get going.” She took a deep breath after leaving his room.
Everyone wished to know the truth, but most of the truth was a painful reality.
Standing on the balcony, she reached out to touch the rain. She watched the storm happening, hoping that everything would be fine tomorrow.
The next morning, Madison forwent breakfast and headed to the hospital alongside Mona.
Mona kept chattering like a singing bird.
“Madison, what would you like to have after the checkup later? I can prepare it for you.
“It’s a rare chance to be outside. Let’s grab something nice.
“It must be boring to have bland food every day. Why don’t we have something different?”
Something crossed her mind, prompting her to lick her lips. Her eyes lit up in anticipation.
Joy rubbed off on Madison as she said, “Anything.”
In the end, Mona bought her a lot of street food. They were Madison’s favorites during her schooling days.
After the nurse drew her blood, Mona handed them to Madison.
“You have other checkups later. Eat up!”
“Okay.”
Now that Madison was free, she texted Calvin. After confirming that there were no issues, she finally dug in with peace of mind.
Following that, she entered the ultrasound room, which she had previously been before.
It was the same doctor who was looking at her with a gentle smile.
“Lie down, and I can start checking on you.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s not a big deal. Here we go.”
