However, no matter how wholesome the interior design was, it couldn’t mend the relationship between Hunter and Madison.
Previously, only the weather outside would be described as cold; now, their relationship itself had turned cold, too.
Back in the past, she would definitely drape a blanket over him when he fell asleep. Unlike before, she didn’t care about him now.
She was sitting opposite him, reading a book. Her gaze was warm as tranquility sat upon her brows.
“You’re awake. I heard that you’ve found something.”
There was no courtesy in her straightforward remarks.
Hunter was now a tool to Madison, and she didn’t even try to hide that fact.
To describe the situation with her words-he was repaying what he owed her.
“Yeah. I’ve asked someone to investigate all the Warlot Streets. There are a total of 52 streets with that name in the whole country.
“Over 30 of them were either reconstructed, had their names changed, or under the government’s use. It took a long time to look into them. Finally, we’re certain that the place Mrs. Durst mentioned is located in Seaburg City.
“That is the good news. The bad news is that Seaburg City’s geography is a little peculiar. It has been considered a strategic location during wars for a long time.
“It was bombed over 60 years ago, and then it was colonized by a foreign party for over ten years. Warlot Street was changed into many names after that.
“20 years ago, there was a huge reform and development project. Almost the whole city was reformed and reconstructed. That Warlot Street was long gone.”
Hunter took a stack of documents out. “Previously, No. 23 was an orphanage next to an old folks’ home. It was a place catered for homeless children and old people. But that cherry tree was well preserved.”
Madison took the documents over and read them seriously. It contained the history of Warlot Street from the 70s until today.
It was like a history book. The black and white pictures gradually gained colors, showing the generational development.
Finally, she stopped at a picture. Next to the cherry tree was an old folks’ home and an orphanage.
Even though it was a cold winter, it was clear that it was a huge tree. Apparently, it had lived for many years.
It already snowed in Seaburg City. There were layers of snow on the surrounding buildings in the picture.
Madison went out on the day of the first snow.
She initially thought that the excessive training would worsen her illness, but it seemed like her stomach hadn’t caused her trouble since before she got pregnant.
Although she didn’t know what was going on with the tumor, she was certain that her condition was stable.
It didn’t spread over her body, which was the best-case scenario for her.
It had been almost a year since she last went shopping or enjoyed life.
Madison stood before the most famous shopping center. She could see a career woman in heels from afar.
Wearing a wool coat over her, the woman strode over with hurried steps.
She stood under a large billboard and looked around until she heard a familiar voice. “Eve.”
Everly turned to look back at Madison, who was standing nearby in a black wool coat.
The latter’s hair, which was tied up, was longer than before. A pair of simple earrings hung on her earlobes.
She still looked beautiful.
Madison was like a sunflower in the past and then appeared like a magnolia flower; now, she was a black rose that had a cold exterior.
She could only be looked at from afar. She wasn’t someone to be messed with.
Everly knew that Madison hid to deliver her babies, so they hadn’t kept in touch.
She was overjoyed the moment she saw Madison. Running in her heels, she threw herself at Madison.
“You finally contacted me! Do you know how much I missed you? I was afraid of exposing your whereabouts, so I didn’t dare to disturb you. I hadn’t seen your babies, either.”
Not knowing how Madison had been, Everly circled Madison.
“You seem more energetic than before. Your complexion seems better.
“Not bad, not bad. I was surprised to see you a moment ago. You look the same, but you feel like a different person to me.”
Everly was overwhelmed with excitement, guessing that Madison didn’t bring her babies out due to their young age.
“I was over the moon when you gave me a call last night. Let’s go! It’s been a while since we last met. Let me show you how much my wealth has improved right now.”
Excited, she took Madison to one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city.
Everly didn’t stop rambling throughout the journey, telling Madison how she had been for the past year.
She got a promotion to a much higher position after going on business trips abroad with Henry and was no longer an insignificant saleswoman.
She spoke for more than half an hour until they arrived at the restaurant.
Only when she took a sip of lemon water did she realize that Madison had barely spoken. Madison would only look at her with a smiling face or give a brief response.
Everly finally stopped her stories, gazing at Madison.
“Madie, you’re kinda weird. The mothers in my office never stop talking about their children. Why don’t you talk about yours? Oh, here are my gifts for them.”
She handed over a bag she had brought along, fishing out some golden accessories. “Look. This is an anklet, bracelet, and zodiac necklace. They’re solid.”
Madison smiled faintly. “Did you purchase them from a jeweler?”
“Of course! These are for my godson and goddaughter. What are their names? I still don’t know that.”
Madison raised the pretty anklet, caressing the word “peace” carved in it.
It was such a nice blessing.
“Gone.”
“What’s gone? Have you yet chosen a name for them? No rush. You can start with nicknames. That’s how you get inspiration.”
Madison’s cold voice resounded. “I said, my children are gone.”
The smile on Everly’s face stiffened, but she was reluctant to think of the negative side. “What do you mean by âgone?’ Are you
“It means they’ve passed away. It was a preterm delivery, and they didn’t survive.”
The bracelet fell off Everly’s hand. “H-How could this be? Your first child was gone. These babies… Why a premature delivery?
Madison let out a bitter smile. “It’s a long story. Forget it. It’s in the past.”
“Madie.”
“It’s alright. It’s in the past. Eve, I called you out today to bid farewell.”
Surprised, Everly held Madison’s hand. “Farewell? Where are you going?”
“Don’t worry. I simply wanna go somewhere to get some rest.”
Everly couldn’t feel a sense of energy from Madison’s all-black outfit. Madison was giving off an aloof demeanor.
Everly figured that Madison might want to get some fresh air.
“Are you going to be gone for a long time?”
“Yeah, probably.”
“Well, it’s not bad to leave this saddening place.” The positive Everly didn’t even know how to comfort Madison.
What Madison experienced wasn’t something that could be placated with mere words.
Converting anger and resentment into appetite might help, so Everly ordered a lot of expensive dishes.
“Eat. Have this caviar to your heart’s content. You don’t have to hold yourself back. I’m loaded with cash.”
Madison smiled. “Speak softer. People might think that you’re a rich lady who lacks foresight.”
“So what? I became rich with my capabilities. Madie, honestly speaking, I’ve always wanted to be successful and become someone you can rely on. You helped me out many times during high school.”
“You’re successful enough now.” Madison witnessed how much Everly grew.
Unlike Madison, Everly was a career-oriented woman. Men had held Everly back in the past. Now that she was single, she was on a roll.
Everly finally found her desired path, and Madison was genuinely happy for her.
Like what they did during their schooling days, they had a meal, went shopping, and watched a movie.
There was always a faint smile on Madison’s face. When the night dawned, snowflakes fluttered along the wind.
They were going to go their separate ways when Everly suddenly said, “Wait.”
She entered a store. Soon, she came out of the store with a scarf and wrapped it around Madison’s neck.
“No matter what path you choose to take, I’ll always be supporting you. If you’re tired, just look back because I’ll be right behind you.
“Take care of yourself. Keep in touch when you’re available. I’ll be at ease if I know that you’re doing fine.”
It took Madison a while before saying, “Okay.”
“Your body is weak, so don’t push yourself too hard. You should give in when the situation calls for it. Leave it to the men.”
Madison went silent for a moment again before responding, “Sure.”
“Be happy.”
“Yeah, you too.” Madison wiped Everly’s tears away. “Bye, Eve.”
Madison hopped into the car before it drove off. She glanced behind only to see Everly standing at the same spot, watching her leave. Everly didn’t leave.
A cloud of melancholy tinged Madison’s eyes. “It’s time to wrap things up over here,” she thought.
She decided to bid farewell to her past during this snowy winter.
By the time Madison returned home, Penny and Madam Burgess were discussing tomorrow’s meal.
Madison headed back to her room to wash up. Looking at the snow outside, she exclaimed in her head, “Time does fly. It’s been a year.”
Hunter entered the room to see her back. She was quiet, like a porcelain doll.
“Have you really made up your mind?”
“Yes.”
“Actually, there’s no need to rush. You can wait until it gets warmer in spring next year.”
She turned around. “There’s no spring. Everywhere is hell to me. Hunter, if you truly love me, just let me go.”
He gulped his saliva. “You should know that Volt Peak Mountain is not an ordinary place. If you go there-“
“I know. It’s a dangerous place.” She smiled. “But there’s still a chance of surviving there. I will come back alive like you did that year.”
He stared at her for a long time before sighing helplessly. “I just don’t know what to do with you.”
“Hunter, could you do me one last favor?”
The next morning, Madison entered Jeff’s room one last time. She stared at the bedridden man, who was skin and bone.
His muscles had shrunken, and his face was haggard.
