She had no idea why she was so nervous. She wasn’t part of their family, anyway.
A moment later, Avery’s uneasy-looking face turned pale. Before Madison could ask about the results, his body collapsed right away.
“Mr. Avery!”
Bryce scrambled to support Avery as the report scattered on the floor. Madison lowered her head, noticing the results of the test.
As expected, the corpse was his sister.
She had nothing to do with them, but Madison still felt a deep sorrow inside her.
She took a few steps backward. Hunter hastily supported her waist.
When he lowered his head to look, he saw that Madison’s face was pale. She looked scary.
Hunter carried her in his arms. “I told you not to get involved in this. Look how terrible your facial expression is! It’s getting late, so you should rest.”
Like a doll, Madison was carried in Hunter’s arms as they went home.
The sound of waves crashing on the reefs could be heard in the silent night. Madison moved her gaze.
Holding down Hunter’s hand, she spoke with a trace of regret on her face. “Say, if I were kidnapped a little earlier, I might have been able to save her. She wouldn’t have died.”
“What nonsense are you saying? You couldn’t even protect yourself back then, much less save others. Madie, stop thinking about it. This has nothing to do with you in the first place. Everyone has their fate.”
Madison gestured as she spoke. “But she wasn’t that much older than me. She was so young and pretty. She also came from a good family. Why couldn’t fate have mercy on her?
“Mr. Avery said that she was very particular about her looks. She would be so sad if she knew what happened after she died!
“Her body ended up bloated in the water, and fish even nibbled at her flesh.
“She must have felt so much regret before she died. When she thought of her family, whom she didn’t get to say goodbye to, she must have felt so much despair!”
As Madison spoke, she couldn’t control her emotions, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
When Hunter noticed that she had lost control of her emotions, he held her tightly.
Hunter especially asked a doctor about it. He learned that pregnant women would have very unstable moods during their pregnancy.
He knew that Madison held grudges against him. So, he refrained from appearing in front of her for months. He did it so that she could take good care of her pregnancy.
The female corpse incident today had struck a fragile chord in Madison’s heart. Her tears refused to stop falling.
The babies in her tummy seemed to have sensed her sorrow, for they began to move around in her tummy.
Madison hastily stopped sobbing. Hunter wiped her tears with a hot towel, speaking in a gentle voice. â?They’re strangers in the first place, and they don’t have anything to do with you.
“You don’t have to be sad. If she knows about it, I’m sure she’ll thank you.
“You were the one who brought her away from that place so that she could reunite with her family.”
Sniffling, Madison said sullenly, “Perhaps it’s because we have the same last names. When I learned that she’s Mr. Avery’s sister, I felt like it was my relative who had passed away.”
Madison also found her words weird. She shook her head helplessly. “I was just too sensitive. I’m fine.
I’ll take good care of myself.”
She looked at Hunter with her moist eyes. “Some time ago, Mr. Avery did indeed help me with some matters.
“He’s older than me, and he’s like an older brother to me. I don’t have any disgraceful connections with him.”
Hunter pursed his thin lips, staring at her with a serious gaze. “I know.”
By the looks of it, Madison was still haunted by his previous misunderstanding of the two having a child.
“It’s getting late now. You should rest.

With that, he turned around and left the room. The chrysanthemums and bougainvilleas were blooming beautifully in the yard.
Hunter smoked cigarette after cigarette.
There was a troubled look on his handsome face. Now, he was careful like Madison used to be in the past.
He was afraid of losing her.
He wanted to get close to her, but he feared that he would hurt her again. He could only maintain a distance from her, protecting her from far away.
Standing before the window, Madison looked at the desolate figure. She didn’t say a word.

She knew that regardless of Andrea’s existence, she and Hunter could no longer return to who they once were.
Every time she closed her eyes, the image of the female corpse would surface in her mind.
Madison felt like there was something heavy weighing in her heart. She couldn’t calm down no matter what.
Hunter sat in the yard for a long time. When he finally came to his senses, he called Brent.
“Look into the Evans family.”
“Which Evans family?”
“The one in Brighton. See if they have ever lost a child.”
“Understood.”
It was getting late at night. After Madison went to sleep, Hunter tiptoed into the room. As he gazed at the woman sleeping on the bed, his heavy heart gradually calmed down.
There still weren’t any clues about Madison’s background. But she felt a strange sense of familiarity with Avery.
She didn’t look like Avery at all, but Hunter still wanted to look into it.
He looked at her in earnest. Suddenly, he saw something move under the bulge of the silk blanket.
Hunter was surprised and delighted. He wondered if it was the babies moving.
The quilt was very thin, and it clung tightly to Madison’s body.
After making sure that Madison was fast asleep, Hunter placed his hand on the bulge. He felt like he was a thief.
He wondered if the two little kids were fighting inside. They were kicking around quite a lot.
Usually, Madison would’ve woken up. But perhaps because she was too tired today, she remained sleeping.
Hunter grew bolder as he reached in and placed his hand against her silk nightgown.
The fabric was very thin so that he could sense the children’s movements.
The children were already this lively at five months. Hunter wondered if Madison could endure it in her third trimester.
Perhaps because they had sensed his presence, the playful children slowly stopped moving. The kicking in the tummy gradually calmed down like the sea.
Hunter was about to retract his hands. But the sleeping woman had opened her eyes before he realized
1.
She looked at him as if she was guarding against a thief. “What are you doing?”
As soon as Madison woke up, her first reaction was to quickly back away. She even covered her tummy with her left hand.
Hunter saw how wary she was of him. He felt his heart shattering into a million pieces.
“Calm down. I only wanted to touch the children.”
Madison didn’t believe it. She spoke viciously, behaving like a hen protecting her chicks. “Get out.
“Okay. Don’t get so worked up, Madie. I’m leaving right now.”
Madison hissed.
Then, she frowned a little. Hunter paused halfway through his way out. Then, he hurried up to her and asked, “What’s the matter? Are the children kicking again? I felt them moving a lot just now.”
“It hurts…”
Madison put a hand to her tummy. Hunter was startled by the sudden occurrence.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll get a doctor here to examine you right away.”
Fortunately, they had the equipment necessary for examinations. The medical team immediately started examining Madison.
Madison gripped Hunter’s hand. Beads of sweat covered her forehead.
She recalled that day more than a year ago when she lost her child to premature birth.
She trembled uncontrollably, calling out Hunter’s name.
“Hunter, the children. You have to save our children.”
“Calm down, Madie. I don’t see any blood, so they should be fine.”
No matter how Hunter comforted her, Madison’s mind was stuck in extreme fear.
After the examination, Cody finally let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s okay, Mrs. Williams. There is nothing wrong with the children so far. From their heart rates, we can see that the children are a little more active.
“It’s most probably because of your emotions. Were you startled today?”
Hunter supported Madison, wiping away the sweat on her forehead with a towel.
In his arms, Madison’s body relaxed when she heard that it wasn’t anything serious.
“Yes, something did happen. Are the children alright?”.
“For now, yes. Pardon me for saying this, Mrs. Williams. You’ve indeed made it past the first three months.
“But you should still be careful throughout your pregnancy. Every move you make will affect the children.
“So, please try to avoid strong emotions. It might negatively affect the children’s development.”
Madison nodded, feeling a trace of lingering fear. “Got it, Dr. Wells. Sorry for the trouble so late in the night.”
“It’s okay. This is my duty. Take a breath and have a good rest.”
“Alright.”
Knowing that the children were fine, Madison relaxed. Hunter carried her back into the room.
He sat by the bed, looking tenderly down at her. “Are you scared?”
“There’s nothing to be scared about.” Madison looked away stubbornly.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she would remember the dream she had just now.
She was standing by the water when she heard an unfamiliar woman’s voice calling out to her. “Sia, Sia.”
When she turned around, she saw a skeleton instead. It was the corpse that was carried out of the broken boat.
Madison jolted away. She looked at Hunter, still feeling cold all over her body.
She wondered if she was too concerned about this, which caused her to dream of the corpse.
