Initially, Madison had no intentions of telling this matter to an outsider.
But Colin had been helping her out. He was even sketching a plan for her future.
That was why she told everything to him honestly.
He was slightly surprised upon hearing that. “So the mastermind wanted Mr. Williams to choose between you and Andrea?”
“Yes. Colin, the plan you told me is tempting, but this is the only matter that I can’t let it slide.
“She set my family up, and I almost died because of her. My father’s reputation is ruined.
“Yet I don’t even know who she is. How can I just leave like this?”
She clenched her fists. “She finally pulled up a trump card after planning it for so long. Many people were sacrificed because of this.
“It hurts every time I think about it. I don’t know what I have done wrong. How did I offend such a person?”
Colin said softly, “Perhaps you’re not the one to blame. Some people are psychos.”
Dubious, Madison looked at him. “Colin, did you say something?”
“No. I mean, you’re a kind person. What could you have possibly done wrong?
“Even if there’s someone at fault, it’s not you. Some people are born bad.”
She shook her head helplessly. “That’s nonsense.”
He said aloud, “I’m stating facts. Madison, you’re the kindest woman in the world. Hunter is blind for not appreciating you.
“Hunter will surely continue the investigation after hearing what you said before you jumped into the sea “He will get to the bottom of it. So, worry not because the truth will come to light. I simply wanna seize this chance to leave Aldenvine.
“Hunter should be preoccupied with the rescue mission. We can plan an escape now and leave the city “Otherwise, we won’t be able to leave once he gets himself together.”
At long last, Madison made up her mind after dwelling in a dilemma.
She looked at Colin with solemnity. “Colin, can I trust you?”
He held her hand. His hand was rough due to calluses, but it was clean and warm.
He didn’t avoid her eyes. “Even if the world wants to harm you, I will always protect you, Madison ”
“Why? We’re not family. And there’s nothing I can give you,” she asked.
He smiled faintly and winked at her. “What kind of ulterior motive could I possibly have? My sole wish is for you to have a long and peaceful life”
A scene flashed across her mind. It was something she had long forgotten.
Colin’s parents were divorced when he was young. His father was busy handling a business and was always flocked by women His father neglected him. On New Year’s Eve, Madison found Colin, who was all alone.
She took her to the Evans residence, and they gazed at the starry night sky together She told him that the stars could grant them a wish He said, “I don’t know what to wish for.”
Madison responded, “You can wish for a long and peaceful life”
The face of the boy watching the night sky somehow resembled the young man in front of her.
Such a pure gaze was her only source of solace in this hellish life.
She nodded. “Okay, Colin. Judging from my father’s condition, we can’t delay his treatment any longer.
“There’s no need to rush to seek revenge. As long as I’m alive, there will be a chance for it.
“Please make the necessary arrangements for us. I want to leave Aldenvine.”
He held her hand tightly. “Okay.”
Despite knowing that Colin had made comprehensive arrangements, Madison contacted a few people for help.
However, something unexpected happened when they were moving Jeff.
When it was time for Madison and Colin to meet up, he hadn’t returned.
It was a starless night. But the yard hadn’t lost its wholesome atmosphere.
Cherry blossoms were dancing under the dim light.
Madison made a wind chime and hung it on a tree branch.
The fragments struck each other along the wind. The continuous tinkle made her anxious.
She was worried about Colin.
As the wind chime continued to clack, the wind blew it off the branch.
The sound it made when it fell onto the ground elicited uneasiness.
Before Madison could pick it up, someone stood next to it.
Colin picked it up and flashed her a bright smile. “Madison, I’m back.”
She ran toward him anxiously. “Colin, are you alright?”
He nodded and played with the wind chime. “What could’ve possibly happened to me when you’re worried sick for me?
“There was some trouble, but I managed to take Mr. Evans away. I took him to a safe place.
“That’s why it took me so long. Sorry for making you worried.”
Madison heaved a sigh of relief. “What trouble?”
“Aside from us, there are a few arrogant men shooting guns at innocent people. Hunter’s men came too.”
She felt a sheen of chill behind her. “It must be her.
“She’s trying to use my father to lure me out! Were you hurt?”
Colin recalled how those men were killed and how their blood splashed against the walls.
He put on an innocent smile. “It was a mess. I was trying to keep Mr. Evans safe, so I wasn’t in a state of mind to mind those people.
“Fortunately, I hired some mercenaries this time. Plus, your men killed the enemies and secured a way out for us. I almost lost my life there.”
Noticing that he shrunk his shoulders unnaturally, she stepped forward. “Were you hurt?”
“No, I’m not. Don’t worry.”
“Colin!” She placed her hands on her waist.
She could already smell blood, and the smell was strong.
Madison bypassed him to check on his back. His white jacket was stained with blood!
“You’re bleeding!”
“It’s nothing serious. It’s a minor injury. I must’ve not bandaged it well because I was rushing. I-”
“Come with me!” She grabbed his hand, pulling him into the house.
A faint smile appeared across his lips when they entered the house. But she didn’t notice that.
Madison quickly grabbed a first-aid kit before lifting his shirt.
Colin had roughly bandaged his wound after tearing a piece of cloth from his shirt.
Looking at the appalling wound, she scolded, “It’s such a long wound! How did you get that? Why didn’t you say anything?”
He stuck his tongue out sheepishly. “Someone must’ve hurt me when I was trying to protect Mr. Evans on our way out. Look. I’m perfectly fine.”
Tears trickled onto his back, prompting him to look back at her.
Madison wiped her tears off clumsily but bandaged his wound with skilled hands.
“Sorry for dragging you into this mess, Colin. You’re hurt because of me.”
She regretted her decision. She didn’t want him to get into the madwoman’s bad books.
“Madison, I was hurt because I was careless. It had nothing to do with you. Don’t cry. I’m young and strong.
“A few cuts won’t hurt. It’s fine as long as Mr. Evans is safe. It’ll heal in no time. I’m fine.”
He turned around and caressed her tear-stricken face.
He said seriously, “Now that I’ve saved Mr. Evans, there’s nothing else holding you back from leaving Aldenvine with me, is there?”
Madison stopped crying. She looked at Colin with misty eyes.
She could see her silhouette in his eyes.
There was no smidgen of boyish innocence on his handsome face. He seemed like a mature man.
Now, was there anything else that was holding her back from leaving?
Colin managed to get Jeff out of there. As long as she stayed alive, she could return at any time for revenge.
Hunter’s face crossed her mind, and she shook her head to get it off her mind. “No. But I would like to see my father before we leave. Is that alright?”
“Okay. I’ll make an arrangement for it,” Colin agreed to her request.
Madison continued tending to his wound. Layer upon layer, she wrapped the bandage around his built body.
She was surprised to discover how many scars were on his body. “Colin, why do you have so many scars?”
He chuckled lightly. “Madison, I don’t think I’ve ever told you about my family. Do you wanna hear my story?”
