“I’ve talked to Leo. He will arrive earlier on the island to perform surgery on Mr. Evans.
“If you don’t have anything else, Mr. Evans must leave Aldenvine by today.”
Madison was shocked. “By today?”
He looked at her gently. “Yes. He leaves the city first. Both of us will leave in three days. Madison, we won’t be returning here for a long time from then onwards.
“Do you have anyone that you wanna say goodbye to?”
Madison thought about it for a moment. “I wanna see my best friend.
“No need to bid farewell. It’s enough to see her from afar.”
Everly had turned into a corporate slave recently. She was working overtime every day.
Madison supposed that Everly had been searching for her everywhere after watching the news.
She didn’t have the courage to bid Everly farewell.
Besides, Madison had guessed that there had been a lot of people spying on her.
It wasn’t easy coming this far. She didn’t want anyone to disrupt the plan.
“Okay. I’ll help you with that.” Colin was always agreeable to her requests.
On the same day, Madison saw Everly during lunchtime.
Everly was clad in working attire, which she once complained about to Madison.
She walked to the café like a lifeless doll.
After making her order, she rested her head and arms on the table.
Whenever her phone vibrated, she quickly checked the incoming notification. Then, disappointment appeared all over her face.
She didn’t seem to be enjoying her meal either. She kept stuffing food into her mouth.
It was as though the taste didn’t matter at all as long as it could fill her stomach.
She didn’t even notice that she had eaten celery, the food she hated the most.
She took a few spoonfuls of the food before picking her phone up again.
Madison faced the back of Everly.
The latter was looking at Madison’s picture during their schooling days.
Some of the pictures were taken during embarrassing times in her life.
Previously, Everly even claimed that she would display them on a loop at Madison’s wedding.
Unfortunately, Madison didn’t hold a wedding. Neither did she marry the man she loved and became a housewife like what she had dreamt of in high school.
Tears dripped onto the phone screen.
Madison could hear Everly’s trembling voice, “Madie…”
Madison burst into tears upon hearing that one word.
Everly wiped her tears clumsily. She footed the bill before leaving the café in a gloomy mood.
Before this, she was always observant of her surroundings. Madison’s presence wouldn’t have gone unnoticed by her.
However, Everly was overwhelmed by the news of Madison going missing That was how she had been living recently.
At first, she didn’t have the appetite to consume anything.
Later, when she slowly accepted reality, she became a lifeless zombie.
It was a mere friendship, but their bond was rooted deeper than kinship.
Madison looked at the sky, which suddenly turned cloudy.
She quickly bought an umbrella and dashed out onto the street.
Everly was walking in the heavy rain in high heels. A passerby accidentally bumped into her as he was in a rush.
In the past, she once joked that she would seize the chance to fall onto the ground and demand compensation.
Yet, she was now looking ahead of her with empty eyes.
Water droplets kept running down her cheeks. No one knew whether it was because of the rain or because she was crying.
Perhaps that was the only way she could finally vent her emotions.
“Madie, oh, Madie. Didn’t we promise to get old together? Why did you abandon me?”
She slapped herself. “It’s all my fault. Why did I have to be on a business trip that day?
“I could’ve been by your side. Just how afraid you must’ve been at that time, Madie?”
An umbrella sheltered her. Sensing something, she quickly raised her head to look at the incoming person.
The person holding the umbrella was an old woman.
She helped Everly up. “Miss, it’s getting cold. Get up. You’re still young.
“What is there in life that you cannot surmount? Don’t cry.”
Everly cried like a kid who lost her toy. “Granny, I lost my best friend. I can’t find her.”
The old woman passed her the umbrella. “Life is full of farewells.
“Miss, a departure isn’t necessarily a bad thing. All parting is for a better reunion.”
“Madie…”
An epiphany struck upon Everly. When she lifted her head, she thought she saw a crying Madison in the midst of the crowd.
“Madie.” Everly rubbed her eyes. She kept seeing things these days.
By the time she got herself together, Madison’s silhouette had vanished from her sight.
Everly deemed it a mere delusion.
Helplessly, she shook her head and joined the crowd with the umbrella.
A piece of paper fell off the ribs of the umbrella. She grabbed it.
The familiar handwriting read, “Take care”.
It was a simple blessing. Judging from the messy handwriting, she could tell it was written in a rush.
Everly covered her face with the umbrella. A grin appeared on her tear-stricken face.
She thought, “Madison is still alive. She’s using her way to ensure that she’s still alive.”
She was clever enough to know that Madison wasn’t in a situation to contact her.
That was why Madison told her that she was still alive via this method.
Now that she was aware that Madison was safe and sound, a wave of relief washed over Everly.
She held the paper tightly as if it were a treasure, fearing that she might lose it.
Now that she was aware that Madison was alive, she didn’t need to worry anymore.
When she raised her umbrella higher, she wore a sorrowful expression.
Since the show had begun, she needed to keep acting until the end.
Madison entered the car.
Colin wiped her tears off the corner of her eyes. “Madison, don’t cry. Your friend is a hard-working person. She will have a happy life.”
She watched Everly blend into the crowd, smiling faintly. “Yeah. I believe so, too.”
Everly might not be the smartest nor the most talented person, but she was definitely the most hard- working person.
Her future was bright without getting involved in a messy relationship with men.
At this moment, Madison received a message from Norma.
A few days ago, Madison contacted Norma to inquire about the progress.
Norma told Madison that she would be able to find it out soon.
The information clearly stated that Clara was the person who secretly used her phone in the company.
Madison immediately recalled Clara’s dependable face. The latter was Team B’s leader, who kept mocking Madison.
Madison initially guessed that Clara was simply jealous about her being a project manager all of a sudden. The others felt the same way, too.
If Clara was the mastermind’s spy, Madison could understand the reason behind Clara’s hostility.
Right then, Madison suddenly remembered the personal information about a tall and skinny man named Paul.
When she thought about it, Paul and Clara somehow resembled each other. Madison wondered what kind of relationship they had.
“Madison, why the overreaction?” Colin asked.
Madison asked anxiously, “Colin, can you help me look into two people?”
