The children here never went to school, and they spent their whole lives fishing at sea.
When they got sick, they could only surrender to fate. A few villagers died of pain because they didn’t have money for treatment at the hospital.
Madison felt that it was ironic. Andrea could easily spend a million dollars on Connor’s first birthday celebration.
But the children here were drooling at the sight of cakes stolen from the kitchen.
They divided the cake among themselves into small portions. After they ate the cake, they even licked their lips in fond remembrance.
What was good, and what was evil?
What was right, and what was wrong?
As night fell, Madison caught the delicious scent of cooking. An excited look appeared in Tom’s eyes.
“Miss, you’re in luck. Mom baked some bread tonight just to welcome you! It’s a feast for us too!”
Madison was speechless. The excited look in the child’s eyes broke her heart. She could have bread for every meal if she liked, but on this island, it was a rare treat.
From a young age, she was used to being pampered in the Evans family. Yes, she knew that poor people existed, but it was completely different now that she was experiencing it herself.
Madison walked up to the door with Connor in her arms. She saw Jerry sketching on the ground with a burnt piece of charcoal.
She was surprised to see Jerry drawing so well. “Did you learn to draw?”
Tom had a proud look on his face. “We don’t even have teachers here, and Jack was the one who taught us how to write.
“Of course, we never took any lessons. Jerry learned how to draw by himself! Not bad, right?”
“More than that. It’s amazing,” Madison praised sincerely.
“Jack bought a sketchbook and a pencil for him, but he couldn’t bear to touch them.
“He said that they’re too nice. Drawing on the ground doesn’t cost a penny. If Jerry had grown up in the city, he’d be a famous artist by now!”
When Tom said that, an extremely proud look appeared on his face. Madison’s heart grew even heavier.
At the dining table, dinner was served. There were potatoes and some unknown vegetables. The main attraction was some fried pieces of meat with bell peppers.
Madison finally realized why they were carrying sacks of stuff when she went after them.
Those were all ingredients stolen from the kitchen. To them, those ingredients were hard to come by.
Tom and Jerry stared intently at the meat, but neither of them tried to take any. Jack placed the largest piece of meat on Madison’s plate, then gave Martha some as well.
The rest was divided equally between the two brothers.
Jack poured all the bell peppers onto his plate. Then, he said in a low voice, “Go ahead. Dig in.”
Looking at the large piece of meat on her plate, Madison didn’t know what to say.
Tom and Jerry were still growing up. They praised Martha’s cooking as they enjoyed the meal.
Seeing that Madison wasn’t eating, Jack explained, “We only have limited food on the island. Just put up with it.”
Tom bit his lip. He didn’t want to, but still, he picked up the meat from his plate. Then, he placed it on Madison’s plate.
“Ms. Madison, you’re too pale. Please eat more.”
Seeing the meat piling on her plate, Madison felt her heart breaking even more.
When one was lacking love, even a tiny bit of kindness could light up their whole world.
“Sorry, I’m not hungry yet. You guys should continue.”
Madison left with Connor in her arms. The island in winter looked even lonelier under the moonlight.
Not long after, someone sat down next to her. It was none other than the quiet Jack.
“You won’t find any food if you get hungry later.”
“Yeah, I know. I’m not hungry.”
The man produced a small piece of mousse cake from his pocket. It was a little smushed after the ordeal.
“If you’re not used to food in the mountains, this should suit your tastes.”
Madison didn’t decline it. The sweet and sour taste of strawberries spread in her mouth.
“Are you guys always so nice to hostages?” she asked in a low voice.
“Not hostages. Guests.”
Jack placed his palms on the ground, looking at the moon as he mumbled, “I know you look down on us.
“To rich young ladies like you, we may be dirty and lowly ants. But even so, we’re trying to survive with all our might.”
“I don’t look down on you, Jack. Let’s talk more later.”
The man looked at her. “Okay.”
Madison picked up the yawning child, then stood up. “I’ll put him to bed first.”
As soon as Madison entered the house, Tom came in with some hot water. “Ms. Madison, Mom said that city people like you are very particular about cleanliness.
“So, she heated some water for you.”
Madison smiled gently. “Thank you.”
“No need for thanks. We don’t have good food here, but we do have pipes.”
Tom secretly took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket. “I stole it back then. It’s super yummy.
“You didn’t eat dinner, so you must be hungry. Come, eat it. Don’t tell Jerry about it, though.”
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tom hastily stuffed the chocolate into Madison’s pocket. The footsteps belonged to Jerry, who had brought some thick blankets.
“It’s cold at night, so Mom asked me to add another blanket to your bed. I’ll lay it out for you.”
Noticing Madison’s silence, Jerry hastily explained, “It’s made from cotton we picked in the wild. Mom sewed it herself.
“It’s already washed clean, and it’s very warm. It’s not dirty at all.”
“Yes, I know. I’m just very grateful.”
Madison patiently put Connor to sleep.
Connor was separated from his parents, but he was surprisingly well–behaved around her. He never cried or made a fuss so far. Soon, he fell asleep.
Madison carried a small flashlight with her as she walked out of the room. Jack was still waiting at the same spot.
He wasn’t wearing much, but he didn’t seem cold.
Madison turned off the flashlight, then sat down next to him. She wrapped the puffer jacket tightly around her.
“After spending a day here, I think I quite like your island. It’s small, but everyone here leads a simple life. You’re not bad. people at all.”
Half of Jack’s face was hidden under the mask. A self–mocking smile appeared on his face. “Are we not bad people? We kidnapped a child and even asked for ransom.”
Madison’s gaze was firm. “I changed my mind.”
More chapter please
I already thought that he was really her son. I hate Hunter. When will she leave? I want him to think that she died and he lived in hell. I want her to come back stronger and independent of him.
More updates please. 🙏🏿
