Madison looked at him with a gentle look, saying, “Look at you, you got cream everywhere.”
She ate the cake in big mouthfuls with a smile. But her tears just wouldn’t stop flowing.
Seeing her tears, Connor tried to comfort her clumsily, “Cry Cry…”
Madison wiped at her tears, picked up Connor, and said softly, “Little one, I had a baby of my own too.”
Connor didn’t understand her. Reaching out, he wiped at the tears on Madison’s face.
“But my baby has gone someplace far away. I miss him every day. Little one, why do you have to be Andrea’s child?”
Madison sat down with him in her arms. She kept talking, not caring that he didn’t understand.
“I used to be a little princess at your age. I had loving parents. But my mother left one day. I chased her car until I fell on the ground. I wasn’t able to catch up to her.”
“My father was good to me. He raised me and educated me. Then, I fell in love with a man. I had a baby with him. Later on, my father fell sick and my family separated. My baby was gone. Even my lover became my enemy. Why am I such a failure?”
Connor hugged Madison with his arms, feeling her tears falling onto his neck. He didn’t know why she was crying so much… But he knew he didn’t want her to cry.
“Mama, no, no,” he said with great difficulty. But he wasn’t able to say anything else.
Madison wiped away her tears. She then brought Connor to the deck on the second floor, according to her original plan.
The winds were strong. Connor was snuggled up in Madison’s arms as the snow swirled around them.
Madison pointed at a spot in the ocean and said, “My baby disappeared in this part of the ocean. He wasn’t as lucky as you. He stopped breathing as soon as he was taken out of my body. He never had the chance to look at the sun.
“Little one, do you think he feels lonely at the bottom of the ocean? Why don’t you go and keep him company? The water might be a bit chilly. You might feel uncomfortable for a bit, but it’ll all be over soon…
“And finally, you’ll completely disappear from this world. That would scar him for life. You’re his favorite son. That would surely break his heart, right?”
Madison pinched his face with a sad smile. “At least you’re not like my baby. His existence was a tragedy from the minute he was conceived to the moment he passed.”
She held Connor’s hand as they slowly walked to the edge of the ship. “Connor look! It also snowed heavily like this last year. Son, you must be lonely in the ocean. Don’t worry, I’ve brought a friend for you.”
The bottomless ocean was like a monster with its mouth wide open. It roared loudly like it wanted to devour everything. Smiling gently at Connor, Madison said, “I’m so sorry, darling. I won’t be able to repay you for your sacrifice.”
Mina got the cake and turned around, only to see that Connor was gone. She was used to him going off on his own since he learned to walk. But he could never get too far with his tiny limbs.
She held the cake in her hand as she went to look for him. She called out, “Master Connor, where are you hiding?”
But once she got a good look at the empty corridor, fear crept into her heart.
It only took her a short while to get the cake. How could a baby that just learned to walk disappear from the long corridor? She looked at the railing. Connor shouldn’t have been able to fall over it.
But she panicked and couldn’t think straight. Dropping the cake, she ran toward the bow of the ship.
When she found Hunter, she told him, “Mr. Williams, Master Connor has gone missing!”
Andrea gave her a slap before saying, “All I asked you to do was put him to bed. How could you lose him like that? You’re dead if something happens to my baby!”
Hunter glared at her, then turned to look at Brent. “Go check the security cameras. Find him.”
Mina was scared out of her wits. “Master Conner disappeared in the time it took me to get him some cake. Would he have fallen into the ocean?”
“That’s impossible. He’s too big to squeeze under the railing and too short to climb over it. Unless someone threw him over.” Hunter quickly refuted her theory.
Someone?
Who would dare to harm his child on this ship? Unless…
Madison’s face flashed in Hunter’s mind.
It couldn’t be. She loved Connor so much. She wouldn’t hurt him.
Hunter disappeared from the deck.
Everyone else was panicking. The ship was so big and the child so small. If he really fell off the ship, he wouldn’t even be able to call for help.
On the other hand, Hunter was running straight to the top floor. The tragedy with Madison’s baby happened there. Did she really bring Connor up there?
Hunter ran with all his strength, but the snow was falling heavily, obstructing
Madison’s words rang in Hunter’s mind.
“Look, the snow tonight is so beautiful.
“Today is the day our baby died, Hunter. Have you ever spared him a thought this past year? Even for just a moment?
“I thought he was only a tool for you to exact revenge on me.”
Hunter had it all wrong. She thought Madison’s target was Andrea, but he didn’t think about Madison’s dead child.
She purposefully picked today for her revenge. It was so that she could sacrifice Connor to her dead son on the day he passed. That was a great way to get back at Andrea and himself.
Hunter was anxious and furious. Madison was still the same person she used to be; she had never given up on her extreme thoughts!
His heart went through a roller coaster of emotions in the span of about a minute. His palms were already drenched in cold sweat.
He sprinted to the top floor as fast as he could. The first round of the fireworks show was over. The next round was in the middle of preparation. At this moment, it was like the entire world had fallen silent and dark. Only the sound of Hunter’s running could be heard.
There was no one there on the deck of the second floor, so Hunter ran to the edge of the deck. The ocean was still roaring, waves still crashing onto the hull of the ship.
Hunter didn’t see anyone. Was he too late?
He felt a chill sweeping over him before it spread from top to toe.
Suddenly, Mina’s voice came from downstairs. She was excited to tears. “How did you get here, Master Connor? You scared me to death! I’ve found him! I’ve found Master Connor!”
Hearing that, Hunter was relieved and slumped onto the ground.
He was sweating all over from the running, but the wind made him feel chilly. He put a hand over his chest, where he could feel his heart beating very quickly.
Smiling, he covered his face. It was the first time in his life that he felt such intense emotional swings.
He didn’t notice Madison, who was hiding behind a wooden barrel. She looked at the snow that was falling from the sky.
She gave up on her plan to cause Hunter deep hurt at the final moment. Honestly, she didn’t have the heart to take Connor’s life. He was still so young. He shouldn’t have to pay for the crimes of Hunter and Andrea.
How evil would she have to be to be able to murder a child?
On one hand, Madison hated how weak she was. On the other hand, she felt ashamed that she tried to do something like that. She turned all the guilt she had into an explanation. Maybe there was a lot of misunderstanding between her and Hunter. Connor shouldn’t have to pay for these mistakes. Her plan used to be dying with Connor in the ocean, but there was one more thing she hadn’t done. That was to uncover the truth of what happened all those years ago.
After Hunter left, she dragged her tired body back to her room. Ten minutes after that, Hunter appeared in her room.
His appearance would mean that he had guessed that she was the one who took Connor. She didn’t remove the necklace she gave Connor when she let him go.
Hunter was the one who designed the necklace. Of course, he would know who it came from. There was still the half eaten cake and the candles on the table in the room.
Madison was prepared to be tortured by Hunter for what she did. She had given up the best chance she had at hurting him. She thought the only thing waiting for her was endless torture from him.
His footsteps got close, and the room was completely silent. Raising her head, Madison saw Hunter eating the leftover cake without speaking. He just kept eating
He never liked eating cakes. But here he was, eating cake without asking for an explanation. After he put down the fork, he took a tissue and wiped his lips. Then, he walked toward Madison.
Madison thought he was still going to torture her, but he stopped before her.
He said in a deep voice, “One day, you’ll realize that not going through with it today was the best decision you could’ve made.
