When they were halfway through, Madison tried to break free while Hunter wasn’t paying attention.
But the effects of the medicine made her dizzy and nauseous. She felt like the strength in her body had been sapped away.
Hunter quickly helped her back into the bed. “Stop moving around, Madie.”
Madison didn’t have the strength to move even if she wanted to. As soon as she tried, her head would spin.
She could only close her eyes to ease the discomfort.
Chemotherapy took much longer compared to the usual intravenous injections. It wasn’t until nightfall that the last bag was approaching its end.
Hunter was with her the whole time. He was also uneasy. He was afraid that she would collapse before the medicine was fully administered.
But although she was weak, Madison had pulled through.
She didn’t dare to move in the slightest as she felt the familiar sensation. She couldn’t even open her eyes because she was so dizzy.
Hunter asked Vince, “Did the same thing happen when she went through chemotherapy for the first time?”
Vince replied, “Yeah. She is one of the stronger ones. A lot of patients didn’t even last until the chemotherapy was over. At least she pulled through. The side effects are the most severe during the first three days. They will start to get better after three days.
“A cycle lasts 21 days. The next treatment will have to be scheduled at least 21 days later. Of course, the decision to proceed depends on the effectiveness of this treatment and her overall physical condition.”
Hunter was guilt-ridden as he looked at Madison. She was lying in bed and was trying her best to remain still.
Vince explained, “The side effects are less serious today. She’ll start to feel worse tomorrow. Remember to get her to drink more water for detoxification. Also, she’ll need to have a diet that replenishes protein. After the chemotherapy, various indicators in her body, such as white blood cells and red blood cells, will rapidly decrease.
“At this time, she may feel nauseous and reluctant to eat. You must persuade her to eat and keep a close eye on all indicators. Take immediate action if any of them fall below normal values.”
Hunter listened carefully and took Vince’s words to heart.
After Vince finished talking, Hunter suddenly said, “Thanks. And … sorry for what happened before.”
Vince was stunned. “It’s such a rare occasion, hearing you say those words. I’ve put it all behind me. I have to thank you, actually. I wouldn’t have met the woman I love otherwise.
“My relationship with Madison is purely platonic now. She’s had a hard life, so I felt the urge to take care of her. Besides, I learned a lot in the two years I was abroad. In the end, it wasn’t really a bad experience.”
Hunter said, “Madie’s emotionally unstable now. Please provide her with more encouragement and support.”
Vince shook his head in resignation. “Mr. Williams, you’re the only person that can change her mind. You’re the source of her trauma, after all. Let her sleep while she can. In the next three days, she won’t be able to sleep even if she wanted to.
“But luckily, the toxins from the chemotherapy two years ago are already out of her system. The side effects of chemotherapy will get worse after every session. Every inch of her body will hurt when it comes to the fifth or sixth session.
“The pain is almost unbearable. But it would be a good sign if Madison could last until then. Her condition is so bad now, I fear that …” Vince trailed off.
“The day you fear will never come.” Hunter quickly cut him off.
Vince read the room and stopped talking. “I’ll be going. Call me if anything happens.”
Hunter then went back to the room.
Madison was already asleep. She was visibly weakened, but she was still able to fall asleep that night.
The next morning, when she tried to get up and go to the toilet, Madison felt light-headed and weak. Then, she fell over abruptly.
“Madie!”
Hunter had just fallen asleep when he heard the movement.
He raised his head to see Madison falling over and quickly wrapped his arms around her.
“Are you okay, Madie?” Hunter’s back was covered in a cold sweat despite already holding Madison in his arms.
Madison’s condition wasn’t comparable to a regular person. Even a tiny fall could cause irreversible damage to her.
Madison’s face was extremely pale. “I …” She had no energy to argue with Hunter. Even uttering a single word caused her major discomfort. It was like she was suffocating.
“What’s wrong? Are you thirsty or hungry? Let me know whatever you need.”
Madison found it hard to speak up. “Get … Get me a female nurse.”
Hunter immediately understood and quickly brought her to the toilet.
However, Madison drove him out awkwardly, so he just waited by the door.
He then gave Sharon a call to ask her to come over. Then, he proceeded to prepare breakfast for Madison.
Meanwhile, Madison had exhausted all her strength after briefly washing up.
Hunter helped her back onto the bed. “Madie, please don’t throw a fit. The most important thing is to nurse your body back to health.”
Madison looked at the seafood risotto. It would normally be appetizing for her, but she felt the urge to gag when she saw the food this time.
She frowned and said, “I don’t feel like eating.”
“Even so, you need to eat a little, please,” Hunter coaxed her gently and patiently.
He hadn’t been sleeping well these past few days and had just pulled an all-nighter. The dark circles under his eyes were very obvious. There was also a hint of fatigue on his face.
He slept on the small bed next to Madison, and his expensive shirt was wrinkled from sleeping on it.
But Hunter didn’t care about himself, he only had Madison in his eyes.
Madison found it strange.
In the memories she had of Hunter, he had always acted coldly toward her.
However, he had been nothing but loving toward her since she woke up.
Madison didn’t understand why he would change so much. She didn’t have anything that he could take anymore.
As she was spacing out, Hunter fed her a spoonful of risotto.
Madison immediately gagged and spat it out after she swallowed. She spat it right on Hunter’s chest.
“I …” She felt a little awkward.
“It’s okay.” Hunter took some tissues and cleaned it up. Then, he brought over a bowl of soup. “Since you can’t take the risotto, try drinking some soup. It tastes fine. I’ve tried it beforehand. There are some chunks of fish in there. You should try to eat some to replenish protein.”
Madison looked at Hunter in confusion. “What do you want from me, Hunter?”
“Madie, you have to believe that I love you. Everything I do is in the hope that you can get better. Come, take a sip.”
Under his patient coaxing, Madison drank a good amount of soup and forced herself to eat some of the fish while suppressing the nausea.
She was basically like a disabled person. She couldn’t do anything except lay in bed. She didn’t even have the strength to turn over.
For the entire day, Madison drifted in and out of sleep. The discomfort she felt didn’t subside either. Instead, it only got worse.
Hunter felt devastated when he looked at Madison unable to eat or sleep well. He wished he could suffer in her place.
In her extreme pain, Madison didn’t even have the energy to stand up to Hunter.
Three days passed just like that.
Hunter had stayed by Madison the whole time and she finally started to regain some energy on the fourth day.
But Hunter became more fatigued. He barely had time to sleep for the past few days and his eyes were bloodshot.
The rainy weather passed too and Hunter noticed that Madison was now in better spirits.
He took a comb and went over. “Madie, the sun’s out today. I’ll bring you out for some sunlight.”
Madison wasn’t even in the mood to turn him down. After all, Hunter was a stubborn person. There was no Madison sat quietly as Hunter gently combed her hair.
But Hunter’s smile froze after a stroke of the comb.
He didn’t use much force, but a huge clump of hair was stuck to the comb.
Hunter then looked at the pillow.
It was even more shocking. There were hundreds of strands of hair on the white pillow.
Noticing his sudden pause, Madison asked casually, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.”
Hunter’s movement became even lighter. He didn’t dare to use the slightest bit of force. Even so, her hair was still falling off.
Hunter finally understood why Madison chose to cut her hair short.
He wasn’t there with her in the past when she was at her most vulnerable. This time, he swore to be with her no matter what.
He brushed his fingers gently through her hair and helped her into a jacket.
Then, he carried her to a wheelchair and pushed her out of the room. He even asked someone to change the bedsheets before they left.
It was in every woman’s nature to want to be pretty. Hunter remembered that Madison loved her long, glossy hair back when they were close.
She would wear simple and elegant dresses and secure her hair with a hairpin. He remembered how smug she was when she told her she could pin her hair up with one hand.
Madison used to be talkative, but she barely ever spoke these days. She looked straight ahead, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
Hunter pushed her into the shade of the trees.
In front of them was a lawn where some patients and their family members were lazily basking in the sun.
Birds were perched on the branches and chirping.
The sky was blue, and the clouds were white. For a moment, the world seemed like a better place.
Suddenly, a yellow ball rolled next to Madison. The cartoon character on the ball had big, bright eyes and a smile on its face.
“Mom…” the tender voice of a child sounded.
Madison raised her head and saw a little boy running toward her. He was wearing a shirt, a tie, and suspenders.
They briefly met once some days ago. The smile on his face looked brighter under the sun.
“Is that Connor?” Madison asked.
“Yes. You came up with that name.”
Connor was already able to run freely by himself. He ran very quickly and soon approached Madison.
“Mom.” He reached out and held Madison’s hand. His hand was small and soft, like cotton candy, like it would be broken with the slightest squeeze.
As a mother, she couldn’t resist it when he called her âmom’. Her heart immediately softened. It was her instinct.
Even if she couldn’t remember anything, intense feelings of affection blossomed in her heart when she saw Connor.
But when she remembered what Darrell had said. The gentle expression on her face faded.
She withdrew her hand and said coldly, “I’m not your mother.”
Connor didn’t know why Madison would suddenly give him the cold shoulder. He hadn’t seen his mother in such a long time.
Madison had always been happy to hug him. Why did she suddenly change? She didn’t even smile at him and was so mean to him.
Tears welled up in Connor’s eyes. He said, upset, “Mom. You’re my mom!”
Madison turned around to glare at Hunter.
“You’re sick. Not only did you round your whole family up to lie to me. You even got a child to do the same?
