Your sister almost gave me a stroke with her foolish deed. Are you going to give me a heart attack?”
“This is a misunderstanding, Mom. There’s nothing going on between Vanessa and me.”
“Nothing? Do you think that I’m blind?” Tatiana yanked him away, shooting glares at Madison. “How dare you seduce my son! I knew that you were up to something from the beginning. It’s either you leave or I drive you out of the house!”
Others might not know about this, but Tatiana watched Madison take the drink that night.
Tatiana didn’t bring it up in order not to expose herself as the culprit.
The question was-who helped Madison? Was it Linus?
Tatiana mused, “Did they get together without my knowledge? It seems like we’ve lured a lion to our home.”
She tugged Madison’s hand. “Come with me. Explain this to Mason.”
Words failed Madison. It was no wonder Krystal didn’t act like one of the Heaths to her.
In hindsight, Linus took after Mason’s disposition while Krystal was similar to Tatiana.
But Tatiana didn’t reveal her true colors thanks to her good acting.
It wasn’t easy for Mason to finally take a rest and yet Tatiana kicked the door open.
Feeling as if she had finally found fault in Madison, Tatiana raised her voice.
“What are you doing?” Mason kneaded his temple as he propped himself up.
Tired, he looked at Tatiana. “What’s with the fuss? I could hear you from afar.”
Tatiana shoved Madison forward. “Say it yourself. What did you do?”
Feeling Mason’s gaze on her, Madison spread her hands in a daze. “I accidentally cut my finger while cooking. Before I could do anything, Mr. Linus rushed to me and sucked the blood from my finger. And then Mrs. Heath dragged me over here.”
“Dad, I’m the problem. Vanessa has nothing to do with this.”
Tatiana’s palm swatted his back. “Why are you putting in good words for her?”
“Mom, I admit that I like her, but this has nothing to do with her.”
Madison didn’t expect herself to take the limelight. “Huh? What did you say?”
“Stop playing dumb! I’ve long figured that something’s fishy about you. So you were coming after my son! I was right! Mason, what are you going to do about this?”
Mason found it slightly ridiculous. “What do you think I should do?”
“Are you going to let this calculating woman stay in our house? She’s coming after your son!”
Helplessness crossed Mason’s face. “I think it’s the other way round, though.”
“What?”
Linus put weight in his words. “He’s right, Mom. I like Vanessa. But she didn’t know about my feelings before this. Don’t misunderstand her intentions. I sucked the blood from her wound voluntarily.”
Two words struck Madison when she noticed the solemnity radiating off him. She thought, Tm doomed.”
Linus was not any ordinary person, and Madison didn’t wish to interact with him in any way.
If this continued, something beyond her plans might happen.
As an afterthought, she waved her hand in denial. “Let’s straighten things out, Mrs. Heath. I’m not interested in Mr. Linus. I also have a child. I’m married.”
Linus didn’t act as his usual reticent self as he blurted,” Haven’t you already forgotten him? What if you can’t remember him forever? I heard that you have a daughter. I don’t mind treating her as my own. I’m serious about you, Vanessa.”
Tatiana slapped him without holding herself back.” Ridiculous! What kind of nonsense is this? Are you trying to give me a heart attack? I asked you to find yourself a wife, but you found a taken person!
Someone with a daughter at that! Are you out of your mind?”
“Mom, I’m an adult in my 30s. I know what I’m doing.”
Madison raised her hand warily. “I … Can I give my two cents? Mr. Heath, Mrs. Heath, I swear on my name that I didn’t seduce your son. If Mrs. Heath is feeling uncomfortable, I can leave the house instantly.”
The mention of her departure made Mason slam the table.” You promised me that you’d leave only after the new year. You’re not allowed to go anywhere without my permission.”
Tatiana’s expression turned grim at Mason’s fury. “Just what is wrong with the two of you? Did she cast a spell or something?”
Mason glared at her. “Did you come here because of this matter? Did they do anything disgraceful?
Linus is in his 30s for God’s sake. It’s normal for him to have feelings for a woman. Do you want him to bear feelings for a man instead?
“But she-“
“What’s wrong with her? She became a miracle doctor at a young age. Forget about your opinion of the relationship, Vanessa doesn’t even reciprocate his feelings. Stop getting ahead of yourself.”
With a flop on the chair, she patted her chest to calm herself down. “How can you say that? Are you implying that Vanessa is out of his league?”
“I didn’t say that. What I mean is, she doesn’t even like Linus. You don’t have to be all jumpy about it.”
Linus chimed in, “Mom, I hadn’t confessed my feelings to her. She didn’t know about it before this. It’s a one-sided crush.”
“Just send me to hell, will you!” Tatiana swept her arm in the air.
“Krystal’s right. This woman is a vixen, a vixen that drives people crazy about her. If I don’t take any action, we’ll be doomed!” she said to herself in her head.
Once she left, Linus showed an apologetic face. “Are you alright, Vanessa?”
“I’m alright, Mr. Linus. In order to not have this happen again, please don’t cross the line.”
“Got it.” The glint in his eyes lost its glow.
When Mason and Madison were left alone, Mason asked, “Is it true? That you don’t like my son.”
“Your son is an outstanding person, but he’s not my type,” she answered straightforwardly.
He chuckled. “Actually, you’re not bad. It wouldn’t be bad for you to marry my son.”
She patted her chest. “Forget about it. I’m afraid Mrs. Heath will beat me to a pulp. It shouldn’t even be in my wildest dreams.”
Mason could read her feelings easily. Only Tatiana was being overprotective of Linus.
“Mr. Heath, I shall head back to the kitchen to make you a meal.”
Madison wrapped a band-aid around her wound before continuing where she left off.
None of the people in the Heath family were normal. Each one was weirder than the other.
Two days later, Julia light-heartedly called Linus to meet up.
“Linus, here are the perfumes you told me to look for.”
“Give ’em.”
Lines of perfumes were arranged before her. She proffered them to him carefully. “Here. They’re herbal-scented perfumes. They’re that popular, and they might not smell that nice. Give them a try.”
“How bad could they be?”
Madison’s natural scent mesmerized him. Although it was the scent of herbs, it didn’t put him off.
Instead, he found himself addicted to it.
The moment he opened the lid of one, a pungent scent rushed to his head and he almost fainted.
It indeed smelled bad.
He opened over a hundred perfumes one by one.
“Is there any that you like?”
“It’s not right.”
“What is?”
“It doesn’t smell like a certain herb but more like a bunch of them mixed together. I can’t tell what it is.
Anyway, the fragrance I’m looking for isn’t strong. It’s mild and it smells nice.”
Julia deflated. “There’s no such thing unless it’s the person’s natural scent. But who would naturally smell like herbs?”
“Natural scent…” Linus muttered.
Something crossed his mind, and he dialed a number. “I’m searching for a person. It’s the woman who sat in front of me in that music show.”
Disappointment descended upon her face. “Linus, do you have someone you like?”
He hummed in response. “Sorry for the trouble I’ve caused. I’ll pay for these perfumes.” He stood up because he had something else to attend to.
There was a schedule to welcome the envoys. Time was running out, and he needed to rush to the venue.
It was Madison’s first time attending such a grand party. Hunter mingled in the crowd with a mask on his face.
As the doctor, she could only follow him from a distance so that she could react in time for emergency situations.
Rufus was in her company. While people’s attention was focused on those prominent figures, Rufus sneaked his way to Madison.
He lowered his voice. “How have you been these years, Madison?”
“I heard stories about you. Why didn’t you reach out to me when you were at a dead end?”
“I had it coming for giving up on my studies. It’d be shameless of me to come beg you. Don’t worry,difficult times are over. I’m doing great right now. I didn’t bring disgrace to your name. I remember your advice.”
His emotions remained unplacated still.
Her decision to relinquish everything and leave back then made him age overnight. Fortunately, she had set her mind to pick up medicine again.
“As I’ve said, you’re born to be a skillful doctor. I’m proud of what you’ve achieved today.”
They shared a smile, for they had finally met each other at the top.
Like those days in college, Rufus began instilling knowledge in her as she followed him.
The meal was followed by a visit to the maritime museum, which was the next plan on schedule.
Madison glanced at her memo at times.
The important figures’ medical histories were etched in her head. Even medicines were prepared in case of emergency.
“You’re getting better,” Rufus couldn’t help but praise her.” You’re no longer the inexperienced intern.”
“It’s all thanks to your good teaching, Mr. Moran.”
“You’re getting better at buttering people up too.” It saddened him that people only grew up from hardships.
Madison suffered a lot to come this far and yet he didn’t know anything.
The maritime museum collected all sorts of artifacts from different countries.
It wasn’t usually open to the public, so it was Madison’s first time visiting.She was stunned to see the stuff that was on display.She fell behind the crowd as she was carefully observing each single item on display.
The one item she was most shocked by was a statue.
It was pure white and looked very natural under the lighting.She was creeped out when she noticed the face on the statue because it resembled her own.
But the statue was an antique from hundreds of years ago.
It was probably a coincidence.
