Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter) >>
When Mina saw Hunter coming back, she hastily got up and greeted, “Mr. Williams.”
“Where is she?”
“She’s upstairs bathing Master Connor. Master Connor is very attached to Ms. Evans.”
Even if Mina hadn’t told him, Hunter knew how attached Connor was to Madison. He quickly went up the stairs. When he opened the door to the master bedroom, he could hear Connor’s crisp voice giggling.
Madison was also smiling happily, which was a rare sight.
“You little rascal, don’t spray the water around! Look, I’m all wet now! Oh, now you’ve done it. If you keep splashing water on me, I’ll splash it back on you!”
The two played together happily. When Madison saw the man standing at the entrance, she couldn’t even react in time, so the smile remained on her face.
When Connor saw Hunter, his eyes gleamed. He called out in a sweet voice, “Daddy!”
His smile could heal everything. Hunter walked toward him.
Reaching out, Hunter caressed Connor’s head. “Good kid.”
Madison glanced at Hunter. Her usually gloomy and cold face was now as warm as the sun.
She didn’t realize that Hunter loved Connor so much.
But Madison found Hunter’s smile blinding. He had probably forgotten that once upon a time, he had a child who never saw the sun before they died.
The light disappeared from Madison’s eyes. Putting down the towel, she said coldly, “Go ahead and bathe him. I’ll go change my clothes.”
With that, she strode out of the room without waiting for Hunter’s reaction.
She couldn’t bring herself to hurt a child, but she couldn’t bear to see Hunter pampering Connor either.
She couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if her child were still alive. She wondered if things would’ve turned out differently by now.
But in reality, it wouldn’t change much. Bringing him into this world would only endanger him.
After all, she couldn’t even ensure her safety.
Hunter quickly came in after her. Madison was changing her clothes, so a large area of her fair skin entered his line of sight.
Madison cried out, and Hunter quickly turned around.
Soon, he realized something. They had done even the most intimate of acts, but they reacted as if they were strangers.
Even his instincts were telling him that they were getting further away. He didn’t even realize it.
After Madison had changed her clothes, Hunter came back in.
“Where’s the kid? Don’t tell me you left a small child alone in the bathroom!”
“Don’t worry, I let Mina take over. I have something to talk to you about.”
“Oh.”
Madison wore a short-sleeved top, but she didn’t feel like it was enough. She took a coat and put it on, covering herself firmly. She feared that even a little bit of her skin would be exposed.
Hunter felt dissatisfied with her actions. But he was running out of time, so he didn’t comment much on that. He immediately voiced his reasons for coming back.
“I’ll go with Mr. Davis to meet the Toxic Hive tonight.”
“I’m not your wife. You don’t have to report your whereabouts to me.”
Madison spoke indifferently as she sat down. Taking a random book, she looked at it.
“Madie, do you have to be like this?”
Closing the book, Madison looked up at him, returning the question. “Then what do you want me to do, Hunter? Care about you? Which identity am I assuming? Your ex-wife? Or your enemy?”
Hunter clenched his fists. “So we can’t return to the past anymore? For real?”
“The past? You’ve never experienced my suffering, but you mentioned the past so nonchalantly. What past should I be talking about? We were a proper family, but we ended up like this in the end.
“What do you want me to do? What can I even do?”
Her eyes were filled with mockery, and Hunter felt his heart breaking when he saw that. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he said earnestly, “Madie, I told you that I’ll give you a proper answer.
“Toxic Hive is a dangerous and complicated organization. You don’t have any evidence, but you insist that a dead person is the murderer. How can I believe you?”
Madison peeled his fingers off of her. “It’s not important whether you believe it or not. What matters is that one day, I’ll shove the evidence in your face and tell you that you were wrong!”
Hunter felt fear when he saw her determined gaze. His sixth sense told him that he was right to have hidden the truth. If Madison learned of it, they would truly never go back to the past again.
“Madie, take good care of Connor tonight. He likes you a lot.” Hunter changed the topic.
Madison wanted to argue more, but Connor had already put on his clothes. He ran toward the two with some drool on his face.
He kept mumbling, “Mummy, Mummy …”
Madison couldn’t be mad at Connor even if he were Andrea’s son. When she had returned to her senses, the child was already in her arms.
Hunter sighed in relief. “Don’t go anywhere tonight. Wait for my news.”
Madison ignored him. After standing there for a moment, Hunter left.
Madison heard the sounds of the car engine downstairs getting more distant. Holding Connor in her arms, Madison stood at the window and watched the car disappear into the night.
Connor yawned. He was getting sleepy. Madison put him to bed, then patted his back like she used to when they were on the island.
Connor gripped a button of her pajamas, burying his little face in her chest. He quickly fell asleep.
From time to time, he would smack his chubby pink lips. “Mummy.”
Madison’s heart melted from how cute he was.
It was getting late. Madison lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep. Her phone screen notified her of a new message.
Madison didn’t sleep a wink at all. She grabbed her phone as soon as her phone screen lit up in the darkness.
It was a text from Avery. “Are you asleep yet?”
She got out of bed. Since she didn’t want to wake the child, she headed to the washroom to call Avery.
Avery’s gentle voice rang into her ear. “Hello. It’s late, and you weren’t asleep?”
“Yeah. Did you find any leads?”
“Yes. There are two things I wanna tell you. First, Mr. Davis and Ms. Rosa are going to meet up soon. Second, I’ve found something about the person you wanted me to look into.”
Madison’s eyes lit up. She didn’t hold high hopes of finding anything about that person, but Avery was surprisingly reliable.
“Who is that?” she asked.
“The members of Toxic Hive use fake names, so knowing her name is pointless. Her code name is Begonia. I managed to track her current whereabouts. Would you like to meet up with her before she moves elsewhere?”
Avery reported his findings with equanimity, but he managed to make her jump out of excitement. She asked, “Can I?”
“I’m not sure what personal grudges are there between both of you, but I think it’s best if you meet her in person to recognize her identity. Of course, she’s a dangerous individual, considering that she’s one of Toxic Hive. You have to do as I say to keep yourself safe.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll drive to your place to pick you up.’
Terminating the call, Madison was immersed in bubbles of joy. It seemed like God didn’t abandon her.
She thought she had walked to a dead-end, but another door of possibility was opened for her.
Madison entrusted Connor to Mina. The latter checked on the time. “Ms. Evans, it’s late. Where are you going?”
“I have something urgent to settle.”
“But Mr. Williams has said that it’s best you don’t leave the house tonight,” the maid tried to dissuade Madison.
Madison gave the maid a simple explanation, and Mina didn’t stop her further.
The bodyguards outside wanted to stop her, but Madison already hopped into Avery’s car.
She watched the cars that were hot on their heels. She said solemnly, “Mr. Avery, could you shake them off?”
For some reason, Madison didn’t want Hunter to know that she was investigating the matter.
She simply wished to present him with the truth after getting to the bottom of it.
“Sure. Hold on tight.” Avery was not any ordinary person.
