Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter)
Madison originally felt that Hunter was too calm when he mentioned Logan. So, his reaction quelled her doubts.
“I don’t love him, but he saved my life. I have to make sure that he’s alive.”
Hunter sighed. “Fine, I’ll let you meet him.”
He started the car again and drove to Lunar Glow Eatery. He moved very quickly as he grabbed the umbrella and walked over to the passenger seat.
Madison was covered from head to toe. Holding a black umbrella, Hunter shielded her from the wind and snow.
It was as if they were just married.
Pausing her footsteps, Madison stared at the snow from under the umbrella.
“What’s the matter, Madie?”
“I was just reminded of the past. Hunter, how nice it would be if those things never happened, right?”
She could feel that she still loved him, and his feelings toward her hadn’t changed either.
They were two people in love with each other, but the distance between them was so wide that they could never cross it for the rest of their lives.
The food was delicious, as always.
When the owner heard that they were coming, he even gave them a glass of orange juice for free.
It was Madison’s favorite drink in the past.
Back then, she was as innocent as a fawn. Her eyes were always bright and sparkly.
The sweet taste spread in her mouth, but her heart was filled with bitterness.
The two didn’t speak during the meal. After they were done, Madison wiped her mouth elegantly. Then, she got to the topic at hand.
“What exactly are you planning?”
“Madie, I’ve already found some clues about Colin. But now, the news of your being alive is spreading. It’s not safe for you to stay in Aldenvine.
“I won’t ask for you to stay by my side, but you have to at least make sure that you and the children are safe. Can you go to the island, please? It’s very safe there.”
Madison asked, “So you want me to hide on the island for
“Yes, at least for now. After I’ve figured out their identity …”
“As long as I don’t appear, they will never show themself. Am I supposed to hide until the day I die?”
Madison put down her spoon. “Hunter, I’ll be frank with you.
Other than Logan, I came here to talk about something more important. I hope that you’ll let me go for real.”
“You want me to let go—“
“Yes. Divorce means that we won’t have anything to do with each other anymore. You should have your own life, and I should keep moving forward as well. Our relationship belongs to the past.”
Hunter had a bitter look in his eyes.
“Madie, you’re so cruel …”
“Hunter, we’re both adults now. You should know that it’s best to leave in peace while you can. Don’t tell me that you still believe that we can be together someday.”
Madison’s question had hit the bullseye. Hunter could only stay silent.
“I know that you were deceived by your sister back then, but what happened with the Evans family was real. It was also true that you have hurt me.
“You broke my wrist to protect your sister. And even now, I still remember the scene vividly.”
Hunter said, “I’m sorry, Madie.”
“All these things have become obstacles between us. Sorry, but I can’t cross over those past grudges and love you all over again.”
Madison’s tone was very calm today. She wasn’t mad. She spoke as if she were reminiscing with an old friend.
“It’s no longer possible between us, so why don’t we let go without hesitance?
“If we stay together, history is only going to repeat itself. The hurt will reach me again and even touch the children.”
Hunter couldn’t retort to anything Madison said. He said sullenly, “I want to see the children.”
“No need for that. I’ve already told them that their father was dead. If you can’t love them, I’d rather you never meet them at all.”
Madison said with a calm expression, “I’ve loved you and hated you. But you’ve also saved me from danger countless times.
“We can’t measure the past grudges and kindness between us.
“So, the best ending I can think of is to break up right here. It’s better than making enemies of each other, right? Why don’t we just forget each other?”
Hunter’s heart sank.
After everything Madison had experienced, her attitude had turned unusually calm.
She looked like an immortal being who had gotten used to the happiness and sorrows of life.
She no longer involved herself in it, and she was always calm and reserved.
But he was like a demon who had fallen into the pits of hell. He was obsessed with their past, and he couldn’t break free from those bondages. They formed extreme contrasts with each other.
Now, he was yielding a lot because it wasn’t his last straw yet.
But if they ever crossed over the line, Hunter would break free of all restraints and completely turn into a beast.
Now, he was hiding his beastly side very well. He feared that he might startle Madison again.
“And if I say that I can’t do it, what then? Even after divorce, I have a right to see you and the children, right?” Hunter clenched his fists tightly.
When he thought about a future where he wouldn’t be able to see Madison, he knew that he would break down.
“So we can’t come to a consensus.”
Madison thought that he had changed a lot these days, so he might be willing to let go now.
But now, she realized that Hunter’s love for her was only increasing.
She couldn’t understand how a man like Hunter could betray her in the beginning.
“Madie, you insist on leaving me, but do you truly believe that Jack can protect you and the children? You’d rather believe him instead of me?”
Hunter stood up, pushing his palms against the desk as he leaned toward Madison. He was forcefully getting in her face.
“Madie, how long have you known Jack? Do you know about his background? Or, he isn’t your friend or family, so why would he help you?
“People have ulterior motives when they’re being kind for no reason. What do you think he wants from you?”
Madison was stunned by the question.
“Madie, we’ve known each other for years, and we know each other very well.
“Yes, you should thank Jack for taking care of the children for us, but are you sure that it’s the right choice to leave with him?
“Even if it’s not for you, please think of the children. Do you want them to live a stable life or a life full of uncertainty?”
Hunter was too skilled at understanding people’s hearts.
In just a few words, he managed to mention Madison’s weakness: the children.
“If you came to this point because of me, you should rethink your choice. It has been almost a year since your fake death.
“Even when I knew where you were, have I ever done anything to hurt you?”
Hunter was trying his best to prove one thing.
“Madie, I won’t hurt you. Don’t be so scared of me that you would make the wrong choice.”
Noticing Madison’s silence, Hunter continued, “I did do a lot of things that hurt you in the past, and I can’t do anything if you insist on leaving me
“But other than being your ex-husband, I am also the father of your children. Even in court, I can have custody of them or even visitation rights
“Do you think it’s fair to strip me of all those rights just like that?”
When Hunter said that, Madison’s expression shifted. “You’re trying to snatch the children from me now?”
If they truly took it to court, she couldn’t win against Hunter in terms of qualification. Madison’s calm expression began to waver.
“Don’t be upset, Madie. It was just an example. I didn’t mean to snatch the custody rights of the children from you Hunter hastily coaxed Madison.
“I just want to tell you my obligations I also have the responsibility of protecting you and the children.
“On the island, you can relax and focus on healing, and the children can grow freely as well. You’ll all be safe
Madison lowered her gaze, thinking for a long while. “Alright, I agree. But I have one condition.”
“Go ahead.”
“Everly was also emotionally hurt. I want to bring her with me for a change of pace. We can look out for each other, too.”
“Sure. I’ll have it arranged.”
Hunter didn’t see the victorious look flashing across Madison’s lowered gaze.
It wasn’t a bad thing to be overly familiar with him. She could guess Hunter’s plans right away.
“One more thing. I want to see Logan.”
Hunter had an upset look on his face. “Madie, if it weren’t for the special circumstances that night, do you think I’d let him live?
“You want to see someone like that, but have you ever considered my feelings?”
“I just want to make sure that he’s still alive.”Fine. I’ll send you there.”
After paying the bill, Hunter walked out. It was already completely dark outside.
Snow dufted below the streetlights, and it looked extra romantic.
Hunter sent Madison to the hospital. Joshua was keeping watch in the corridor. You’re here, Ms. Evans.”
Madison hastily asked. “How’s Logan now?”
“He had dialysis last night, and he’s still in the ICU right now. But don’t worry, his life is not at risk anymore.
Madison couldn’t get close, so she could only peer through the glass. She could see the silhouette of a man lying on the bed a distance away.
Madison transferred some money into Joshua’s account. She also told him to take good care of Logan.
Madison didn’t have any feelings for this man, only gratitude.
After that, she walked out of the hospital. Hunter was standing by the car, smoking.
The fiery red flickered at his fingertips.
The white smoke covered his face, hiding it from view.
He probably didn’t expect Madison to be out so soon. He put out the cigarette right away.
Disregarding the snow piling up on him, he held an umbrella and walked over to Madison.
“He has already passed the life-threatening stage, and he’ll get better after he rests for some time. I told you I won’t hurt him.”
