Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter) >>
Hunter noticed how monotone her voice was. He could still remember how adorable the Leia had been.
young She was still young right now, but why was she carrying such a sad bearing like an old person?
“I know that it’s you, Leia. Tell me, why didn’t you return home? You knew that Madie was your sister-in- law. So why did you do those things?”
She broke free from his grasp.
“Yeah, I was the one who did all of those things. If you want to avenge her, you can kill me. I have no will to live anyway,” she said firmly.
She seemed unafraid of the consequences of her past deeds.
Hunter was baffled. “You didn’t even know Madie. Why did you ruin her family?”
He had been picturing their reunion for the past few days. But none of his imaginary scenarios came close to reality.
Leia wasn’t even explaining her stance. Her sole wish was to die.
“So what if I ruined them? What’s done can’t be undone. Either you kill me or let me go and pretend that you don’t have a younger sister to begin with.”
She was going to leave, but he yanked her back and slapped her in the face.
Her mask fell to the ground from the force of the hard slap.
He hadn’t held back at all, so the edge of the mask accidentally cut her face.
Hunter looked at the unfamiliar face. Her smooth skin was free from wrinkles, but something seemed odd.
It was as if she hadn’t been born with that appearance.
If one took a closer look at her face, they would be able to tell that she had received plastic surgery.
Hunter asked, “How could you be like this? Leia, do you know how long I’ve been searching for you after you were kidnapped?
“And how sad Mom was? She missed you so much that she suffered from depression. She’s been receiving treatment abroad for many years, but she showed no sign of recovery.
“Since you were still alive, why didn’t you return home? Grandma’s greatest regret was not being able to see you before she passed away.”
The yellow light reflected the tears in Leia’s eyes. She covered her face with one hand as she began crying.
“There’s no more turning back. Can’t you pretend that you never saw me?”
“Not a chance. I’ve finally found you after jumping through so many hoops. You’re coming home with me.”
She took an alarm device out. “You better leave if you don’t want to die here. As I said, there’s no more turning back.”
Chris was still in the castle. Hunter didn’t want to cause him trouble at such a critical moment.
So he didn’t provoke Leia.
Now that he had met her, the mixed feelings that were churning in his stomach eventually morphed into disappointment.
He couldn’t understand how the adorable girl from his childhood had turned into this kind of person.
“Did you get plastic surgery?” Hunter questioned.
Compared to Leia, Jodie the Williamss more.
He had too many questions he needed answers for.
“Yes,” she coolly admitted. As long as he was the one asking, she wouldn’t hide the answers from him.
“Why?”
She avoided his gaze. “I have nothing to tell you. You shouldn’t be here for too long. Leave. Pretend that you never met me.”
He blocked her way. “It’s fine if you don’t want to come home and don’t want me as your brother. But you should at least tell me why you hurt Madie.
“Why did you hurt innocent people? When you were young, you couldn’t even eat for days after your kitten died. How could you become like this?”
He could still remember how upset Leia had been at that time. That was why he had stopped Madison from bringing Snowball with her.
Snowball reminded him of that sad incident.
Leia smiled faintly. “Are you sure that I was sad because the kitten died?”
She raised her chin and smiled. “I fed it sleeping pills because it kept meowing at night. It was so annoying. It was a pity that it died so soon. I had only fed it sleeping pills for three days.”
He had never seen her smile so coldly before.
Now, she seemed like a total stranger to Hunter.
That was why he hadn’t been able to recognize her, even though she had been so close to him all these years.
“Why did you kill it? You could’ve given it to someone else if you didn’t like it.”
“Who was going to keep me company then? You were busy, and Mom sometimes acted out of character due to mental illness.
“Don’t bring up Dad. He rarely came home. That kitten was the only toy I had to kill time.”
She referred to the kitten as a “toy” instead of a “playmate”.
“Hunter, have you always thought of me as a lovely sister? But I’m not. Haven’t you always wanted to know what kind of person I am? I’ll tell you now.”
She smiled coldly and continued, “Our family is the top elite family, but it’s uncommon to have a mentally ill mother. And why didn’t Dad ever show up?
“Grandpa was preoccupied with maintaining our family’s position, while Grandma was his best helper. This family has always been cold.
“You were the only person who treated me well. But you had so many lessons every day. You couldn’t look after me.
“I knew that I was different from my peers since I was young. They were like kittens and puppies. Delicious food and toys were enough to make their day. But what did I experience?
“I witnessed my mother attempting suicide when I was three years old. And it wasn’t just once.” At this point, tears were glistening in Leia’s eyes.
She slightly raised her head to stop the tears from falling down her cheeks.
“Hunter, back then, Mom was covered in blood when she hugged and strangled me. She also told me that I wasn’t supposed to be born. Do you know what that felt like?
“Everyone keeps saying that mothers love their daughters. But why did she want me dead?
“While you were away, she tortured me a lot of times. She loved torturing me until my last breath whenever we were alone.
“That was how she could get a good night’s sleep. The next day, she would wake up and hug me tightly, apologizing and promising not to do it again.
“Domestic abuse and cheating are similar. There’s no stopping it once you start. She would torture me whenever she acted out of character. And I was used to letting the steam off by torturing the kitten.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Hunter couldn’t help but feel guilty.
Their mother had suffered from mental illness for a long time. But he had never known that Leia had been inhumanely tortured when she was a child.
Leia answered, “Would that stop the torture? I could only end it by leaving the family,”
He looked at her in disbelief. “You mean you left of your own accord that year?”
Leta looked right into Hunter’s eyes. “Yes, I had enough of that kind of life, so I ran away. I wanted to see the outside world, but I was too naive. I thought that everyone was kind except for Mom ….”
She stopped her story right there.
He asked, “Even if Mom hurt you, why did you bear grudges against Madie? Why did you do that to her?”
Her eyes turned cold at the mention of that name. “Madie, Madie.”
Emotions were storming in her as she grabbed him by the collar. “Do you think that I’ve never tried to seek help from you? But did you care about me at that time? All you cared about was her!
“I saw you smiling at her and doting on her just like how you did to me in the past. She smiled so sweetly…”
The tears Leia tried to fight back finally trickled down her cheeks.
She screamed, “Do you know what kind of life I’ve been through? Do you know what I went through just to see you again?”
Her tears fell onto the back of his hand, and they were warm.
“When I escaped from darkness, I fought for my life because I wanted to see you. But you loved Madison so much. I’m your younger sister. I should be the only one receiving your love!”
Obsession tinged her eyes. Hunter was all too familiar with that.
That was the glint he saw in his suicidal mother’s eyes whenever she suffered a relapse.
Mental illness sometimes ran in the family. Considering that Leia had been living under the shadow of the trauma cast by their mother, it was possible that Leia was inclined toward the same symptoms.
“Leia, you’re my sister and my family. Madie is my wife, as well as your sister-in-law. She’s your family too. You should love her instead of resent her.”
“Love? Why should I love a stranger that has nothing to do with me? We don’t share the same blood. What right does she have to smile so sweetly next to you?” Leia balled her fists. The glint in her eyes was turning colder.
