After the door of the study closed, Hunter put a hand to his forehead. He dialed Chris Atkins’ number with his other hand.
“Mr. Williams, did something happen to your wife this late at night?” Chris was already used to it by now.
He knew that if Hunter called him, the matter would usually concern Madison.
Staring at the streetlights in the distance, Hunter was silent for a few seconds.
Then, he asked slowly, “When’s the best time to get an abortion after a woman has gotten pregnant by accident?”
Chris had just taken a sip of wine. When he heard those words, he almost choked on the wine.
“What did you just say? Abortion? Is she pregnant?”
“Answer me.” Hunter’s tone was forceful.
Chris carelessly wiped his mouth with his sleeve. “There’ll be an ultrasound scan six weeks after she stopped getting her period.
“That’s the best time. You can choose to use drugs or get an operation.
“If it’s the drugs, it’s best to do it within seven weeks.
“If you go the operation route, then it’s about 40 to 60 days after getting pregnant.”
Noticing the silence over the phone, Chris hastily added. “Is your wife the one getting pregnant? If it’s her, I have to give you a word of advice.
“You know her condition after she gave birth last time.
“She lost a lot of blood, and she almost died. Her body is very weak from that experience, and it’s not easy for her to get pregnant with a body like that.
“If she’s pregnant, I think you should keep the baby.
“If not, the abortion will strain her body, and it’ll be even more difficult for her to get pregnant in the future.”
Hunter’s fingers dug into his palm. A long while later, he spoke in a low voice, “What if the child wasn’t mine?”
Chris had a look of disbelief on his face. He almost blurted “amazing” out loud.
He could barely believe that Madison had cheated on Hunter.
“Ahem, that’s not quite possible. Everyone knows that you’re the person she loves the most. How can she… do something like that?”
Hunter ended the call. He didn’t want to acknowledge it, either.
But that was the truth. He had never touched Madison, but she had gotten pregnant.
He wondered if it was Colin or Avery.
At the thought of that possibility, he felt extremely furious. He wished he could just question Madison about it right now.
His remaining sense of reason told him not to do it.
His relationship with Madison was risky right now. It wouldn’t be able to endure another crisis.
Even if he wanted to abort the child, he wouldn’t tell Madison about it in case she did something extreme.
Hunter combed his fingers through his dense hair.
He couldn’t believe that a proud man like him would have to silently endure the betrayal of the woman he loved.
Compared to betrayal and separation, he would rather pretend that nothing happened.
At least he could still see Madison every day. It would be much better than seeing her smiling by someone else’s side.
He finally understood what it felt like to be betrayed.
He felt like someone had stabbed him in a spot he couldn’t see.
There were no injuries, but he was in so much pain that he couldn’t even breathe. It hurt so much.
His eyes turned red as his mind was filled with images of Madison sleeping with some other man.
“Crash!”
He swept all the things on the desk onto the floor. A dagger fell at his feet.
Bending over, Hunter picked it up. Unsheathing the dagger, he cut his left hand.
Blood instantly stained his white shirt.
It hurt.
But he didn’t understand why his heart hurt even more.
He couldn’t understand why Madison would betray him.
She was the woman he loved the most.
When Hunter came back into the room, Madison, who was on the bed, opened her eyes and looked at him.
In the darkness, she could see Hunter’s tall figure walking near her.
She said in annoyance, “What is it this time?”
Before she could finish speaking, the man’s footsteps hastened.
He pulled her into his embrace.
Then, she heard his suppressed voice speaking in her ear. “Madie, it hurts so much.”
Madison frowned. She wondered what Hunter was up to again, running over to her and saying nonsensical stuff.
Stretching out her right hand, she wanted to push his suffocating body away.
But when her fingers touched his body, she felt something wet.
It was blood.
She was very sensitive to such smells now.
Turning on the lights, Madison saw the blood seeping into his white shirt.
He didn’t leave the villa. Madison didn’t understand how he would turn out like this.
“Who did this?”
Hunter didn’t seem to mind it at all. Instead, he reached out to touch her face.
“Madie, I hurt your hand, so I’ll make it up to you with my arm. Don’t be mad at me anymore, okay?”
There seemed to be an abnormal thirst in his gaze. Madison was speechless.
“Are you out of your mind?”
Hunter didn’t deny that. With bloodied fingers, he touched Madison’s face.
“Yes, I’m crazy. Madie, you can do anything to me as long as you don’t leave me.”
“Even kill you?”
Blood streamed from his fingertips, dripping along her face. His smile was extra gentle.
“I’m not scared of death, but I’m scared that I won’t see you again after I die. Madie, don’t leave me.”
Looking at the blood dripping on the sheets, Madison was instantly furious. “Get lost.”
She had once heard from Hunter that his mother had severe mental illness.
Whenever she had her bouts, she would start harming herself.
Hunter had been mourning his sister’s death for the past few years. He also had to deal with the problems of his marriage.
His mental health wouldn’t be much better than Leia’s.
Moreover, that sort of mental illness was usually caused by genetic issues. Hunter was beginning to display signs of self-harm.
Looking at the alarming color of blood, Madison feared that he might harm her as well.
She subconsciously protected the yet-unformed child, not daring to provoke Hunter too much.
“No matter what it is you want to say, let’s get you bandaged first.
“Even if you don’t want to sleep, I do. Look, you’re smearing the sheets with blood.”
“I’m sorry, Madie. I can’t quite control it. I’ll wipe it clean for you right away.”
Reaching out, he tried to wipe the sheets, but it only got worse.
It was just like his relationship with Madison. The more he tried to mend it, the more he was pushing her away instead.
Madison felt nauseous. Ignoring Hunter, she hastily ran to the bathroom to throw up.
She hated blood. She would never forget the day when she bled heavily while giving birth prematurely.
Her child had disappeared in the pool of blood.
Hunter wanted to pat her on the back to soothe her. But when Madison saw his blood-streaked body, she retched even more violently.
“Stay away from me. It’s disgusting.”
Hunter watched her from a distance away. His eyes were filled with heartache.
This was how much she suffered when she got pregnant back then. She would throw up everything she ate. But he knew nothing of it.
Despite everything, Hunter still cared for Madison. When his mind had cleared a little, he turned around and left to bandage his wounds.
Madison was speechless as she looked at the blood in the room. She had no idea what he was getting at.
She went to another room and then opened the windows.
Taking in the fresh flowery air, she felt the restlessness in her heart dissipating a little.
After the ordeal, Hunter had disappeared. Madison couldn’t be bothered to go look for him.
She didn’t know how conflicted Hunter was feeling.
He kept wishing that the child was his.
He would treat Madison the way he should have done in the past, and he would make it up to her.
But then, he thought about her getting pregnant with another man’s child.
He felt like a monster was trying to get out of his body.
He tried his best to suppress it, but the monster tore at his flesh and roared like crazy.
Blood. He wished he could use the child’s blood as an offering to the monster known as jealousy. His handsome face gradually became twisted.
After Hunter learned of Madison’s pregnancy, he spent every second in pain and suffering.
He suppressed the beast, hiding deep within his heart, fearing that it might hurt Madison.
Even so, the rage in his chest only grew stronger. His jealousy had changed him.
He asked himself time and again why the child wasn’t his. He wouldn’t have to suffer so much if he was the father.
