Seeing that she didn’t move, Connor got anxious. He kept calling out to her.
Then, Hunter’s voice rang out. “Just hug him. It’s been a long time since he last saw you.
“Madie, you don’t know how much this child loves you. You don’t know how much he missed you when you were gone.
Madison trembled as she looked at Hunter with a confused expression.
“What do you mean?”
Hunter sighed. “The incident last night wasn’t an accident. Someone targeted Connor and pushed him from the top of a tall staircase.”
Madison’s expression changed. “Who did it?”
“We have too few clues at the moment, so we can’t be sure for now.
“From his build, we can gather that he’s not a common folk. He might be a professional assassin.
“So, I’m taking Connor and Erina to a safe place.”
Oliva asked tentatively, “Are they related to the Toxic Hive?”
“I don’t think so. Toxic Hive is an organization skilled in medicine. They mostly kill with drugs, just like with… Ms. Parker.
“But the people who attacked Connor are different. They were after his life. They pushed a young child from the top of a spiral staircase.
“It was a good thing that Connor grabbed the edge and stopped rolling. If not, the consequences would be unthinkable.”
Madison was frightened when she heard that. She subconsciously gripped Connor.
It was a miracle that the child was still standing and smiling in front of her.
She crouched down. She could no longer take her anger for Hunter out on Connor.
Touching Connor’s face, she asked, “Connor, did it hurt?”
Connor didn’t understand what she was saying. He was simply happy because Madison touched him.
He called out to Madison.
“Mommy, Mommy.”
Madison gently took his hand. They had planned to return to the city after breakfast, but Madison played with Connor for the whole day.
She would pick flowers and catch butterflies for him.
Hunter took off his socks and rolled up the legs of his pants. Then, he waded into the creek to catch fish for Connor.
For Connor’s sake, Madison didn’t defy Hunter.
They set aside their past and their grudges. They were like a couple helping their child experience the purest form of happiness.
At sundown, they finally left in the car.
Connor was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he got into the car.
Madison sat in the back seat, gazing tenderly at the child.
It was quite odd. She wasn’t related to him by blood, and he was the child of the woman she hated the most.
Still, she couldn’t help but love Connor with all her heart.
After they parted this time, she had no idea when they would meet again.
At that thought, she felt even more reluctant to part ways with him.
Hunter sent Madison back to the Manor of Roses. Before Madison got out of the car, she noticed that there were more bodyguards in the area.
Just before getting out of the car, Madison touched Connor’s face. “Where are you taking him?”
“For the sake of his safety, it’s best that as few people know about it as possible.”
“You have a point. Take good care of him. His mother probably can’t take care of him anymore.”
Hunter parted his lips, about to explain something. But when he thought of this incident, he suppressed the truth again.
He replied in a low voice, “I know. You and Mr. Evans will be moved away within the next few days as well. This place isn’t safe anymore.”
Madison was stunned. “Us?”
“I don’t know who those people are targeting. But you have a special identity, so I fear that they might come after you next.”
Hunter sighed. “I’m sorry, Madie. I never wanted this to happen.
“but now that things have turned out like this, I have no choice. I can only do my best to protect you.”
Madison didn’t say more. She caressed Connor’s cheek again before leaving.
Before she got out, she turned around and asked, “Can I take someone with me?”
“It’s best if you don’t. I know I’ve carefully selected the staff here,
“But to be safe, we shouldn’t bring them along. I’ll get Madam Burgess to take care of you.”
“I’m not taking anyone else, just Mona. She knows my habits.”
“Alright. You should make preparations tonight.”
Madison didn’t try to be stubborn this time.
Jeff needed a safe place to recuperate, and she also needed a place to focus on her pregnancy. It wasn’t the time to be throwing a tantrum.
“Got it.”
Before daybreak, Madison and Jeff were sent away. Even Madison had no idea where they would be taken.
When they arrived, she found herself in an old courtyard.
She thought for a moment, realizing that Hunter didn’t own a house like his under his name.
By the looks of it, for security purposes, Hunter had found a safe place. No one would’ve guessed that she was here.
Jeff was quite fond of this place. It looked a lot like the Evans residence.
Getting out of the car, Jeff stood up and walked a few steps without his cane.
When Madison saw that, she went forward to help him. “Careful, Dad.”
A happy look flashed across Jeff’s amicable face. “Madison, I can walk by myself now.”
“Yes, Dad. We’re not in a hurry, so take your time. Don’t trip and fall.”
Madison felt fulfilled when she saw Jeff getting better by the day.
When his condition had stabilized, she could ask him about the truth back then.
Every night, she went to sleep with thoughts of those secrets in her heart. Even in her dreams, she wanted to know what exactly had happened.
Kelvin hurried over to support Jeff. “Mr. Evans, it’s a good thing that you’re recovering quickly, but you have to go at a moderate pace. Don’t rush it.”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Jeff smiled. In reality, he was feeling quite anxious in his heart.
He had many things he hadn’t done, and he didn’t want to drag Madison down, either.
After retiring to his room every day, he would practice as he leaned against the wall.
He could still make a comeback.
The new yard was comfortable, and it was a perfect place for Madison to rest and take care of her pregnancy.
After their last parting, Hunter didn’t visit again.
He was probably worried that his whereabouts might be exposed. Or, he was just too busy, or it might have something to do with his impending marriage,
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
Madison’s symptoms of early pregnancy gradually faded.
In recent days, her appetite was alarming, and she would get hungry very quickly.
Now that the throwing up was gone, Madison looked healthier, and her face had also gotten a little rounder. She felt sleepy all day.
Even Mona couldn’t help but smile as she said, “Look, our beautiful Madison has gotten even prettier.
“Other pregnant women have loose skin, but I’ve never seen someone like you before. Your skin is so supple!”
They behaved like sisters around each other. Mona’s personality was quite like Everly’s.
One of them was easygoing, whereas the other was straightforward.
They were the sort that was relaxing to be around.
During the time she spent around Madison, Mona could see that Madison’s mood was improving by the day.
In the past, Madison lived every day in negativity, and she never had any hope for the future.
But now, Madison began to look forward to the future. She wanted to live longer to see Jeff recover and to give birth to the baby.
Now that she had hope, she felt like life didn’t seem that hard to endure anymore.
Madison touched her belly, which was still flat. Suddenly, a look of sorrow appeared on her face.
“What’s the matter, Madison? Did you not like the fruits just now?”
“That’s not it.”
“Then it must be the desserts. Were they too sweet or not sweet enough? I’ll tell the kitchen staff about it later.”
Madison had no complaints about her life here.
The vegetables she ate every day were harvested by a farmer nearby. He had used organic fertilizers instead of chemical ones.
The fruits were also flown in straight from their countries of origin.
She could taste the fresh flavor of sunshine in every bite. The fruits were sweet and juicy.
“It’s not that. I’m just thinking that it’s about time I get a pregnancy checkup,” Madison said in a troubled tone.
She wanted to see if the baby had a heartbeat and how they were developing.
But she didn’t know what excuse she should use to go to the hospital.
“Why don’t I say that you’re feeling unwell, so I’m taking you to the hospital for a checkup?”
Madison sighed. It might not be the best way, but it was her only option.
Hunter would be getting married in a few days. He was probably so busy that he wouldn’t have time for her.
She could contact Calvin before the checkup. Then, she could do it like before.
There wouldn’t be any reports, and the doctor would tell her the results right after the checkup.
Hence, they wouldn’t leave any traces.
