Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter)
Seeing that Madison didn’t want to talk about Hunter, Everly quickly changed the subject. “You’ll know when you see it. Alright, children, follow your godmother.”
Everly acted like she was a kindergarten teacher. She was full of joy.
There were plenty of cameras on the island. Henry would look at the footage several times each day. He was relieved to see her having a good time with the children.
He said to Hunter, “Your suggestion is great. She seems to be in a much better state.”
“Women tend to do better when they leave the men who cause them pain.”
His words rendered Henry speechless. He glared at Hunter and retorted, “Are you talking about Madison?”
Hunter wasn’t offended by his remark. He smiled and said, “Madison’s life will get better. It’s a pity that I only understand this now.”
“Stop acting like you’re a saint. If you really mean what you say, you should cut her loose, not keep her right under your nose.”
Hunter looked at Henry, who was as stubborn as he used to be. He didn’t make fun of his naïveté. He was still new to being in love. He would only mature after going through some hardships.
These experiences weren’t something Henry would just listen to if someone else told him. He had to experience them himself.
Hunter didn’t mock his arrogance because karma was fair to all. Henry would eventually experience what he had coming.
Besides, Hunter already sensed that Henry treated Everly differently. She clearly wasn’t just another lover to him like he claimed.
It was fine. Love would eventually punish him for his lies.
As he was talking, Henry looked at the video footage again. In the video, Everly was sitting on the beach and looking at the sea. She looked more emotionally stable than before.
It seemed like Hunter’s suggestion was right. She needed her friend and those children to heal her.
“There’s still a lot of trouble back at home. I’ll let her stay on the island for three more months before bringing her home.”
Henry was angered by Everly’s miscarriage. He had done some reckless things for her sake. His arranged marriage partner was still in the ICU.
The woman came from an affluent family too. Her family thought Henry was making too big of a fuss for a lover. He even lost his moral high ground.
The arranged marriage was called off, and the two families became enemies. Even Henry’s grandfather was alerted. He, too, felt like Henry was overdoing it. He wanted to take the chance to get rid of Everly.
That was why Henry agreed to Hunter’s proposal.
“Three months? Maybe you love her more than you realize,” Hunter said with a smile.
Such a huge incident would take the Synder family way longer than three months to deal with. Even three years probably wouldn’t be enough.
“I heard that you were extremely cruel to that woman. She’s a total cripple now.”
“She deserved it.” Henry’s voice was filled with ice-cold cruelty when he talked about that woman. “So, do you plan to let Madison live on the island for the rest of her life?”
“I said it before. I’m giving her complete freedom.”
The Hunter that Henry used to know would never do that.
Everly started to recover with Madison’s care and the treatment from the doctors on the island. Even if it would be hard for her to get pregnant in the future, the trauma of the miscarriage had become more manageable for her.
Everly was an optimistic person, but Madison often saw her sitting on a bench alone and spacing out while looking at the sea.
“What’s on your mind?” Madison asked, sitting down beside her.
“I’m thinking if I had accepted Hunter’s offer to work at his company, I would never have met that bastard.”
“Eve, it’s all in the past. Let’s stop dwelling on it.”
Everly caressed her flat stomach and said, “I was even ready to be a single mother. Why was fate so cruel? Why was that option taken from me?”
She wiped her tears and added, “It’s fine as well. If the baby were born, my life would forever be intertwined with his. I don’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.”
Madison wrapped her arms around Everly gently. “Eve, we should look to the future. We’ll find our own happiness.”
Everly scanned her surroundings. After she was sure no one else was around, she whispered, “When are we leaving?”
Madison put up five of her fingers.
“Five more days?”
“Yeah. My friend needs some more time to make preparations.”
Everly nodded. “Okay! I’ll follow you to the ends of the Earth.”
She knew that Henry only sent her here to hide from trouble. She heard that the Synder family had already taken notice of her. They wanted to get rid of all the women Henry had before he got married.
That was why Henry agreed to send her to the island. He would bring her back after the incident blew over.
She wouldn’t be able to escape then. This was her only chance.
Everly started to have hope for the future after she learned that she could leave in five days.
“Eve, what plans do you have?”
“Back when we were in school, I wanted to earn more money to better my life. I’ve been working very hard in the past few years and have made quite some money.
“But I lost something more important. I want to go to a normal country and work for a charity. I want to help out less fortunate children.
“If I get tired of that, I’ll pick up some skills and open a cafe or a flower boutique. I might even travel the world and live a life that’s completely different from the one I had.”
“Okay.”
Everly looked at Madison and asked, “What about you?”
“I want to get stronger. I want to further my medical career, and I want to be a person my teacher can be proud of.” Madison had a determined look in her eyes.
“That’s great.”
Everly sighed. “It’s like we’re back to our high school senior days. Back then, we’d sit under a tree at school, filled with hope for the future. If I knew our lives would turn out like this, maybe we should’ve gone abroad.”
“Eve, there’s no use trying to run. There are many things we’d only understand after we’ve experienced them.”
“That’s true.”
Everly cradled her head with her hands as she enjoyed the sea breeze under the shade. She counted down the days.
She would be able to cut Henry out of her life completely in five days.
But something unexpected happened on the third day.
Everly had been in a good mood for the past two days. She would even skip around and wave at everyone she came across.
Henry probably wasn’t used to seeing her so happy, so he showed up on the evening of the third day.
At that moment, Everly was playing hide and seek with the children. She ignored the sound of the helicopter overhead.
After all, she had already figured out the schedule on the island. The maids would go out and purchase supplies every fortnight or so.
She thought it was just the maids coming back to the island and didn’t pay much attention to the helicopter.
With a blindfold over her eyes, she was counting under a tree.
“Eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!”
Due to the game having too few participants, she would sometimes pick out some maids at random to join the game.
She ran into someone after taking a couple of steps. The person’s chest felt solid.
Most of the maids she picked out for the game were women. She would occasionally pick some men when there weren’t enough women. She placed her hand on the man’s chest and felt it up. She murmured, “How did a man get here?”
Then, she snickered. “It’s okay. I love men.”
When she did that, she imagined herself to be a horny king playing with his lover. Smirking, she said, “Come here, my beauty. Let me feel you and guess your identity.”
Her hand moved up on the man’s well-built chest. She was puzzled. “Why aren’t you running away today? Seems like you like me too.”
Her fingers moved to the man’s Adam’s apple. It moved slightly under her palm. She was touching him so intimately. Why wasn’t the man running away?
Everly seemed to recall that the men on the island were very shy. She had teased the gardener once, and now, he would drop his tools and run upon seeing her. He treated her like some sort of wild animal.
Who was this bold man she was touching?
She moved her fingers up to the man’s chin, lips, nose, and then forehead.
“Who are you? Let me guess. Are you …” Everly muttered.
As though he didn’t want to hear another man’s name uttered by her lips, Henry asked, “Have you had your fun, Ms. Hilton?”
Everly’s face paled when she heard Henry’s voice. She quickly took off the blindfold. The man standing before her was none other than Henry.
She stuttered, “W-WWhy … are y-you here?”
Henry smiled. “I’ve been missing you every day you’ve been gone, Ms. Hilton. It seems like you’re having a good time on the island. Have you forgotten about me?”
The maids read the situation and quickly left. The two children didn’t know what was going on. They stared at
Henry with their bright, round eyes.
Under the innocent gaze of the children, Henry had no choice but to suppress his impatience and let go of Everly.
“You’re Zack, and you’re Alicia, right?”
The two children looked at him with docile expressions.
Suddenly, Alicia blurted out, “Dad?”
Henry was amused. He crouched and picked her up. She was like a cute kitten looking for its parent.
“Dear child, I’m not your dad. Don’t be mistaken.”
Disappointment flashed in Alicia’s eyes. Where was Disappointment flashed in Alicia’s eyes. Where was their father?
Henry played with Alicia for a short while. The affection in his eyes was apparent.
Everly looked at him in shock. She recalled a conversation she had with him when they just started dating.
She had asked him naively if he liked children, and his answer had been resolute.
“I don’t like children. They’re annoying.”
Then, he put down the magazine he was reading and looked at her.
“Ms. Hilton, you’re a smart woman. You wouldn’t do anything stupid, right?”
He was smiling, but he had a threatening gaze. He didn’t like children, much less children born from a lover.
Only his wife could give birth to his children.
Everly hadn’t fallen for him too much at that point. She knew that very well, so she managed to do a good job maintaining the boundary in the past two years.
That night was an accident, and she didn’t expect to get pregnant from that. Her perspective changed after she got pregnant.
There was no point dwelling on that at this point. She turned and walked away resolutely while Henry was playing with the children.
When she looked at him, she would lament the loss of her child. She would also be reminded of his disdain for children that he displayed to her.
Everly rushed to find Madison, who was learning about dissections from a doctor at that hour.
“Bad news, Madie. That bastard’s here!”
Madison was holding a scalpel in her hand. She looked up from a pile of flesh and asked, “Who?”
