Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter)
Madison noticed that Everly would often space out, but she would say she was fine every time Madison asked her about it.
Madison knew something had happened to her.
They had been friends since high school, and Madison understood her too well.
If something could cause a carefree woman like Everly to avoid talking about it and space out during conversations, it had to be related to a man.
It was likely that this man was not someone she could talk about, or their relationship needed to be kept a secret.
Back then, when Everly managed to get Josh to become her boyfriend, it was like she wanted the whole world to know
Madison couldn’t force her to speak up if she didn’t want to talk about it.
The car pulled up in Everly’s neighborhood.
She feigned a smile and said, “I’ll take my leave here. Your daughter is asleep. You should go home as soon as possible.”
“It’s almost Christmas. Do you want to hang out?”
A hint of disappointment flashed on Everly’s face. “I’ll confirm with you later. I might be busy.”
“Okay. Then you should save my new phone number. Call me when you’re free.”
“Okay. Goodbye”
Madison closed the door. Through the rearview mirror, she could see Everly looking at her on the side of the road.
It pained Madison to see Everly like that. She finally understood why Everly looked at her like that back then.
They were adults. They could only endure the misfortune that befell them quietly. They couldn’t express their emotions freely like kids anymore.
Even as a bystander, they could only watch. They couldn’t do anything, even if it pained them.
Everly walked away after Madison’s car was out of sight.
Madison said coldly, “Turn back.”
“What?”
“Just do as I say. Drive slowly.”
“Understood.”
Madison saw another car at Everly’s place.
It was a silver Spyker. A tall and elegant man got out of the car.
Madison was shocked. How could it be him? It was a man she only met briefly before-Henry Synder, Everly’s employer.
Madison would understand why Everly wanted to keep her relationship a secret if it were him.
A taboo relationship between an assistant and her employer was indeed not something she would want to tell others.
But if they truly loved each other, they could overcome any difficulties.
Henry said something to Everly, and it made her very agitated. She ran to the flowerbed and picked up a brick. She looked determined to fight him to the death.
Henry took the brick from her and pulled her into his arms. He pressed her against the car and kissed her.
The snow kept falling around them.
The brick also dropped to the ground. There were tears flowing down her face, but she didn’t push him away.
Madison looked away and said, “Let’s go.”
Everly had fallen for him. But in a relationship, the one who falls in love first would always end up losing.
Madison remained silent on the way back. She kept thinking about the days when she and Everly were students
If they had known what would happen to them, would they have cherished their happiness more?
Joshua helped carry Alicia out of the car when they got home.
Madison didn’t head indoors straight away. She stood under the streetlamp and looked at the swirling snow while deep in thought.
“I know you’re here
A person walked out from behind the streetlamp.
Hunter looked at her from afar and said, “I told you I won’t disrupt your life.”
They looked at each other in silence. Madison tried to look into his eyes, but she realized she couldn’t discern the ernotions within.
“Thank you for that night
It didn’t matter what happened between them.
If he didn’t find a way to get the money to save her, she would be doomed if she fell into the hands of those people.
“It was my fault for letting them get to you, Ms. Evans.”
He seemed to have stood there for some time. There was a layer of snow on his shoulders and his head.
Madison slowly walked toward him.
Hunter felt a little uneasy. He wasn’t sure if Madison had figured out his true identity.
He didn’t know what she would do if she knew.
It was a quiet night with no one walking around. A thick layer of snow quickly formed on the roads.
Madison’s steps made a crunching sound as she walked on the snow.
Hunter’s heartbeat quickened as she approached him.
Madison walked up to him and patted the snow on his shoulders.
What was she-
“I’ve already made an appointment. I’ll be going to the bank tomorrow.”
“What are you planning to do there, Ms. Evans?”
“Give me your account number. I’ll pay you for your services in this period of time.”
Hunter lowered his head. “So you no longer need me, Ms. Evans?”
“He’ll find me when I use the money. I won’t be able to escape then. He won’t let you off, Logan. Run, run as far away as you can.”
Hunter finally realized how much he had traumatized Madison. He was like the devil to her, always lurking.
“He’s still in Vuckburg now. Besides, you’ve pretended to be dead for so long. He wouldn’t find you so easily.
“You’re not safe now, Ms. Evans. You need my protection.
“Don’t worry, I’ll hide in the shadows. I won’t appear in your life and cause you trouble.”
Madison sighed when she saw his meek expression.
“I’ve made up my mind.”
She didn’t want to drag Logan into her mess.
“Ms. Evans.”
“Find someplace safe and live your life to the fullest. Find a good woman and marry her. If I still have a future, I’ll look forward to meeting you again.”
Madison smiled at him gently. “Logan, you’re a good man. Our relationship ends here. I’ll take care of myself from now on.”
Madison walked away without looking back after she said that.
“Ms. Evans, have you ever fallen for me? Even a little?” He called out from behind.
Madison stopped and looked at the footprints she left on the ground.
“No. Never. I’m sorry. I will never fall in love again.”
Hunter watched as she walked away in the snow. He felt a pang in his heart.
She had turned him away again. There was no way they could be together.
Madison walked away resolutely. She hoped that Logan could forget about her and start his own life.
As for herself, she could only press on even if her path was strewn with thorns.
Madison went back to her room. Alicia was already fast asleep. She wiped her down with a warm towel.
As she left the room, she noticed Logan standing under the streetlamp.
He stood there like a fool, looking in her direction. Why would he do something so pointless?
The longing for unrequited love would always cut deep. The frustration of love lost was soul-wrenching.
Madison drew the curtains after glancing at him. Since she could promise him anything, she wouldn’t give him any false sense of hope.
Joshua slowly walked to Hunter and said, “Mr. Williams, you should go. Mrs. Williams is already asleep.”
“I’ll stay a little longer.”
Hunter stood in the snow and lit a cigarette. He stood still as the snow rained down on him. He left after the cigarette reached its end.
The following day, Madison entrusted Alicia to Joshua and went to the bank alone to make the transfers.
She was prepared for the possibility that she won’t even be able to leave the bank.
The staff were very polite to her. They even prepared snacks in advance. The branch manager served her personally
He even escorted her to the exit after she was done. For a moment, it was like he was about to pile her with gifts.
Madison exited the bank.
No one was waiting for her.
Was she overthinking things? Did Hunter not send anyone? Or did he really accept the fact that she was dead?
Standing amidst the snow, Madison felt like she was pathetic.
She hated it when he tried to control her, but she felt a hint of disappointment now that he had let go of her.
It was fine. She had to move on from the past as well.
Madison went to visit her alma mater. She looked at the youthful faces of the students as she strolled through the campus.
It was like she could see a reflection of her past self in them.
A youthful voice rang beside her. “Ms. Madison!”
The voice was a little shaky. Madison turned to see a boy in the Aldenvine High uniform running toward her.
The boy who used to be her height had grown a lot in the past few years. He was several inches taller than her already.
Jerry always had a gentle and refined look. After gaining access to education, he appeared more cultured and graceful.
“It’s been so long, Jerry.”
