She noticed the walls around her were white. Her stomach seemed to be better. It didn’t hurt as much.
“Madison, you’re awake! Are you feeling better?” A familiar male voice came from beside her. She looked toward the voice.
It was Colin whom she met on the cruise ship. His eyes were filled with concern.
Madison had just regained consciousness. She said weakly, “Did you save me?”
“That’s right. I saw you on the side of the road as I was heading out. You had blood all over you. I was scared to death.”
Colin scratched his head and said with an embarrassed expression, “I’m sorry, Madison.
“I wanted to apologize to you for what happened on the ship. But I couldn’t reach your phone.”
“It’s okay. I understand. It was just an accident.”
Madison looked at the needle in her arm. Half of the liquid was still in the IV bag.
“That’s right. Is Mr. Evans doing well? I’ve just returned from overseas.
“I wanted to visit him, but I didn’t want to intrude.”
Madison’s eyes darkened at the mention of Jeff. “He isn’t doing too good. He hasn’t regained consciousness yet.
“I appreciate the sentiment. Visitation is not allowed yet.”
“I understand. You have to stay strong, Madison. Everything will be better.” Colin consoled Madison.
He then asked, “Are you sick? I saw a lot of blood on your clothes, but I didn’t see any wounds.”
Madison smiled weakly and said, “I’m fine. I accidentally bumped my nose and had a nosebleed earlier. Did it look scary?”
Colin patted himself on the chest and said, “The bloody stains were scary. But I’m relieved that you’re okay.”
“Don’t worry. Of course, I’m okay.” Madison reached for her phone on the nightstand. She realized that it had shut down.
She knew she shouldn’t have said those words at the Davis’’ today. She knew she crossed the line with Hunter.
Madison understood that she shouldn’t provoke him. She risked disrupting her own plans by doing that.
But she was just too angry. She wasn’t able to hold it in. She knew that Hunter probably wouldn’t let her off this time.
Colin handed her a power bank and said, “Madison, you need to stay the night for observation. You must be hungry after sleeping for so long.
“I’ll go buy you something to eat.”
Madison nodded and said, “Thanks.”
“No need to thank me.” Colin smiled brightly. He walked out the door with brisk steps.
A nurse came in to help her remove the needle in her hand. She said with an envious look, “Miss, your boyfriend is so good to you.
“He had been taking care of you the whole time you were out. I’ve never seen a more caring man than him.”
Madison was taken aback. She explained with a smile, “He’s not my boyfriend. He’s my younger brother.”
“I’m sorry! I was mistaken.” The nurse stuck her tongue out and removed the needle gently.
“Miss, your brother has booked a few medical examinations for you. It’s getting late.
“The examinations will be scheduled for tomorrow. Rest well tonight, and no food or drinks after 10:00 pm.”
“There’s no need. I’ve already done medical examinations before. It’s just a nosebleed today.
“I only fainted because I have been pretty frail.”
“Okay. But I still recommend that you do some in-depth examinations.
“After all, many things can cause a nosebleed. Your results from before might not reflect your current health. Some conditions can worsen pretty rapidly.”
“Thanks, I’ll think about it.”
Madison got off the bed and freshened up a bit. She saw that Colin hadn’t returned yet. She went to the corridor and wanted to pay for her hospital bills.
She ran into Chloe when she stepped out of her room. She was also wearing patient attire.
The first thought Madison had when she saw Chloe was that they were fated to meet each other. But only as strangers.
As she turned to leave, Chloe caught up to her and said, “Just give me a moment, Madie. I have something I need to tell you.”
Madison didn’t stop. In fact, she sped up. Chloe ran after her.
Then, Madison only stopped when she heard a nurse say anxiously, “Mrs. Davis, slow down. Your heart can’t take much more of this!”
Madison stopped in her tracks when she heard that. Chloe finally managed to grab her hand.
She said while panting, “Please, just give me a moment, Madie.”
Chloe looked pale and weak without makeup on. Even her lips were slightly bluish.
“Mrs. Davis, I thought there was nothing left to say between us?”
“Five minutes, Madie, give me five minutes. Please,” Chloe begged.
The nurse standing next to them said, “Mrs. Davis has a heart condition, miss. Please do not agitate her anymore.”
Madison was put on the spot. She couldn’t walk away now.
“Alright, five minutes.”
She walked into her room. Chloe followed behind her.
They each sat on a corner of the couch.
Chloe moved next to Madison and took her hand. Madison struggled for a bit. She then gave up because she didn’t want to risk agitating Chloe.
“Seems like Chris isn’t treating you that well. You had good health when you were with Dad.”
Madison deduced that Chloe developed a heart condition due to mental stress.
There were only two other ways she could’ve gotten a heart condition.
One was that she was born with it. The other was unhealthy habits. Neither of those could’ve been the case for Chloe.
Chloe shook her head and said, “Chris is good to me. Really, really good to me.”
Chloe didn’t want to make Madison feel uncomfortable. She quickly changed the subject, “I left you when you were young.
“But there were some things that your father probably hasn’t told you. Don’t you want to know why I left him, Madie?”
Madison’s other hand grasped the couch tightly. “Wasn’t it because you fell for another man?”
“Let me tell you a story, Madie.”
Chloe’s story wasn’t mind-blowing. It was more melodramatic.
Chloe and Chris had known each other since they were kids.
The Davis’ were a family of soldiers. Chris was also obligated to join the army.
He began to take part in covert missions when he was a teenager. He promised Chloe that he would be back to marry her once the situation got better.
But news of him dying on the battlefield was spread. Chloe was heartbroken.
The Parker Family promised her to Jeff.
Jeff gave her three years to forget about Chris. And so Jeff waited.
Chloe could not betray his kindness. She got married to him under the pressure of her family.
But she had only ever loved Chris. It was the same, be it three years or seven years.
Chris was the love of her life. But just as she was prepared to accept her life as it was, she heard the news about Chris.
He was saved by someone when he was hurt. But he had temporarily lost his memory.
He married the woman who took care of him after his injuries healed.
By the time Chloe heard the news, Chris already had a child of school age.
That was a blemish on their love. It was something that Chloe couldn’t get over.
Even after she also had a child of her own, she was still hung up about the past.
She couldn’t forget about the feelings she had.
These years, she had been neglecting everything around her. That was why she developed a heart condition.
Chris’ wife later died in an accident. He also recovered his memory.
Chloe didn’t want to have any regrets. So, she went to him without considering any consequences.
Madison laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes. “Am I supposed to clap for your epic story of undying love?”
Madison had misunderstood. She thought Chloe felt guilty after seeing her bleed.
She finally realized. This middle-aged woman had all the love she wanted since she was young.
