Mona felt terrible for Madison. She said, “Understood, Ms. Evans. I’ll be back soon. I’ll go buy what you need.”
Madison knew she asked the right person. The most important thing for her now was to confirm if she was pregnant.
She spaced out during dinner and didn’t have the appetite to eat. But she had to try and hide it so Hunter wouldn’t get suspicious.
Luckily for her, Hunter was ignoring her the last time she was pregnant. He didn’t see how she suffered from morning sickness.
When she hurled last night, Hunter thought she was just pretending. The possibility of a pregnancy didn’t cross his mind.
Hunter looked at Madison’s bowl full of uneaten food. He frowned. “Madie, you have to eat something and take care of your health.
“Is there something you want to eat? Let me know.”
“I’m just not hungry. Don’t overthink it. I ate too many snacks in the afternoon. I’m done eating.”
Madison had already noticed Mona among the servants.
Her mind was already somewhere else, so she came up with an excuse and left.
Mona handed Madison the pregnancy tests in the corridor and said, “Ms. Evans, I was afraid one wouldn’t be accurate enough. So I bought several from different brands.”
“Thanks. I’ll transfer you the money later.”
“No need for that. This is nothing.”
Madison didn’t keep the banter going. She rushed to the toilet and locked the door.
The last time she used a pregnancy test, she was excited. She had wanted to bear a child for Hunter.
Back then, she would do a test whenever her period was late.
At this moment, Madison had a heavy heart and conflicting emotions. She cared about having a baby more than anyone else.
Doctors told her it was almost impossible for her to bear a child. She had already given up hope.
But the pregnancy occurred at a most unsuitable time. Madison felt afraid and uneasy. She wanted the baby, but she also didn’t want it.
Madison closed her eyes as she waited for the results. She felt tormented.
One moment, she was thinking about what to do if she was pregnant.
The next moment, she told herself it was impossible for her. It was hard for her to get pregnant.
It was unlikely that she got pregnant after once.
The questions keep circling her mind. And she kept doubting herself.
The alarm she set rang. She quickly turned it off and slowly gazed toward the pregnancy test.
Two red lines appeared on the white rectangle. One was dark, and the other was lighter.
Madison forgot how to breathe when she saw it. Her mind blanked out.
It was real. She was pregnant.
The first emotion she felt was joy. She looked in the mirror and realized she was already in tears.
She had spent one and a half years trying to overcome the despair of losing her baby. But she was pregnant once again.
Madison was overjoyed but quickly realized it wasn’t the best time to be pregnant.
Even though she survived for half a year, the cancer cells were still in her.
Those were a time bomb. Once triggered, she would be dead along with her child.
But the glow of motherly love appeared on her face when she thought about the baby in her womb.
She couldn’t help but place her left hand on her stomach.
Even though the baby hadn’t formed yet and was just a tiny seed, she couldn’t help but smile.
Her tears fell onto the sink as she muttered, “Baby, is that you? Have you come back to mommy?”
She had been consumed by nightmares for over a year. There would always be a baby calling out for her in the nightmares.
And now, the baby is back. Madison felt indescribable joy. She had yet another reason to be alive.
Madison swore to herself that she would protect her baby with her life. She went through an emotional roller coaster in the span of ten minutes.
She readjusted her emotions and walked out of the toilet. There was a hint of determination on her face. Being a mother gave her newfound strength. She had someone she needed to protect again.
She was met with Hunter’s prying gaze as she left the toilet. She reflexively jumped back in fright. She looked at him with discontent.
“What are you doing here?”
Hunter would usually be doing rehabilitation exercises with Jeff at that hour.
“Madie, you haven’t been looking good lately. I also heard you haven’t been eating much. So I got a doctor to come check on you.”
Madison said coldly, “I lose my appetite whenever I see you.”
Hunter said sadly, “You used to say you wanted to eat with me.’
“I didn’t know you had a lunatic for a sister then.”
Hunter was at a loss for words. The things Leia did to Madison were unforgivable, and they caused a chasm to form between the two of them.
“Madie, I told you Leia will never trouble you again. I don’t expect you to forgive her. I just wish you could be happier.”
Madison smiled coldly and said, “You want me to be happy? Sure, just kill your sister or yourself.”
“Madie…”
“Fuck off. Get out of my sight. I’m okay. I am in better health than anyone.”
Madison drove Hunter away. He could see that something was wrong. Madison was more bad-tempered than before.
He thought that Madison was upset because of his upcoming wedding.
Hunter sighed and went to look for Jeff.
Jeff knew what happened when he saw the defeated look on Hunter’s face. “Did she shut you out again?
“Tell me, what did you do to make her angry? It’s been so long, but her attitude toward you hasn’t improved.”
“There’s … a misunderstanding between us.
“If it’s a misunderstanding, then explain it to her. A married couple shouldn’t keep fighting for so long.”
Hunter smiled sheepishly and said, “But she doesn’t allow me to explain myself.”
He tried to explain his relationship with Andrea to Madison several times. She never gave him the chance.
“Hunter, you’re an adult. I know both of you were sad about the baby that died.
“Have you ever thought of having another baby with her? If there’s a baby, she’ll not stay angry at you, for the baby’s sake.”
Hunter muttered to himself. “Have another baby?”
Hunter tried to picture himself asking Madison to bear his child again. He could see her with her arms crossed.
She would say with an icy smile, “A baby? Sure, as soon as you or your sister is dead.”
Most of their conversations lately had become like that.
“Why aren’t you dead yet?”
“Why are you here if you’re still alive?”
“The weather is nice today. Why don’t you die? Is it because you haven’t found a suitable burial spot?”
“Hunter, I saw a nice spot today. You should be buried there.”
“If you don’t want to die alone, why don’t we do it together? Would you feel better about dying then?”
Hunter could only see mocking smiles on her face. The love she once had was gone entirely.
Even so, he was content. At least he could still see her every day.
After Hunter had finished helping with Jeff’s rehabilitation, he went to Madison’s room again.
He saw her putting her hand on her stomach when he walked in.
She was talking inaudibly and had a gentle smile on her face.
Her expression soon became cold when she noticed him. Even her voice became shrill. “Didn’t you learn how to knock?”
She was like a hedgehog curled up in defense and always on guard against him.
“Sorry.”
Hunter exited the room and knocked on the door. He smiled bitterly and felt like a stranger in his own home. But he had no choice. He and his sister owed Madison too much.
He said patiently, “May I come in?”
Madison’s annoyed voice came from inside the room, “You may not. Go away.”
Hunter entered the room anyway. Madison raised her eyebrow and said, “You’re shameless.”
Hunter ignored the evil eye she was giving him and approached her. “Madie, I just want to see you more.’
“Stop looking at me. You make me want to throw up.” Madison gave her morning sickness an excuse.
Hunter sighed and said, “Even so, I want to be with you a little longer.”
“Don’t blame me if I vomit on you.”
She wasn’t trying to scare him but rather stating a fact. She couldn’t control herself when she started to vomit.
Hunter ignored her words and got closer with a tablet.
“Madie, these are the newest designs for the coming season. See if there’s anything you like.”
Hunter could’ve just bought everything and given it to her, but he wanted to bridge the distance between them this way.
He was too busy to go shopping with her in the past, and she would be considerate and lie in his embrace with a tablet. She would ask him to pick something out for her.
Back then, she was docile and always put him first. She would never do anything that would put him on the spot.
Hunter thought Madison would make fun of her, but she actually turned and looked.
“This one, then.”
Hunter said happily, “I’ll place an order now.”
Then Madison added, “Andrea would look good in that on your wedding day. Oh, wait. I forgot her legs were crippled.
She probably couldn’t stand during the wedding and would only sit in her wheelchair.”
Hunter was at a loss for words.
It was like Madison’s new favorite pastime to find ways to annoy Hunter. He restricted her freedom so she would try and make his life difficult.
“I think you should check out what wheelchair suits her better and not the skirt.
