Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter)
“Mr. Williams, Mrs. Williams, the body is cosmetically prepared, but it is a dead body, after all. So, it’s not a pleasing sight.
“Please be mentally prepared for it.”
“Open the door.” Her voice was hoarse.
As soon as the door was open, she saw a white sheet covering a body.
Hunter explained, “I took some measures, so the case hasn’t gone public yet. Her family doesn’t know about it for now.”
Madison strode toward the body. She had lost her consciousness for three days straight.
Thus, everything that had happened that night felt like yesterday to her. The excruciating pain, strong wind, and cold waves were still fresh to her sensations.
With trembling fingers, she slowly pulled the white sheet to reveal Mona’s face.
Although Mona’s body hadn’t decomposed due to the cold environment, there were livor mortis over it.
Not long ago, she was wreathed in smiles like the dazzling sun; now, she was lying in such a cold place with a pale face.
Madison couldn’t stop her tears from falling. “Sorry, Mona. I’m so sorry.”
She flopped onto the floor while clutching the white sheet.
Her mind rewound her first encounter with Mona.
At that time, Mona was carefully wrapping the flowers she trimmed in the rose garden.
When she was caught red-handed, she hid them behind her.
Like a kid who had done something wrong, she stammered in her words, “M-Ms. Evans, I’m not stealing the flowers. I thought that it was a waste. I …”
The thorns pricked her hands, but she didn’t notice.
“It’s alright, Ms. Evans. People like us are different from you. Your body can’t handle this. I learned how to cook and do the house chores when I was young. This little injury won’t hurt.”
“I’m clearly older than you, but why do you always have a gloomy air around you? You’re so pretty. You should be prettier when you smile.”
“If you don’t mind, I will always be your family. I will take good care of you.”
“Dear babies, be good while you’re in your mother’s belly. When you’re out of there, I will feed you guys delicious food!”
“Madison, my crush is returning to the country! He’s the kindest person I’ve ever met. I like him a lot. What is that word again? Oh, he had me at hello, and he owns all of me forever.”
“Warren confessed to me! Do you know how long I’ve waited for this day, Madison? It’s like I own the world!”
“I’ll bring you to Warren after your delivery. You’ll know how kind he is.”
“I-I told you. I swore that I’ll… p-protect you. F-Farewell, Madison.”
The time they had spent together wasn’t that long. It was only six months, but Madison was used to Mona’s company, looking after her.
She saw Mona as her family.
She even thought of preparing an immense marriage gift for Mona.
Madison was determined to live a good life to see Mona walk down the aisle one day.
It would’ve been wonderful to see Mona tie the knot with the person she loved, living the youthful dream she once had.
However, Mona didn’t get married to her crush but was killed by him instead.
Madison couldn’t imagine how despairing and sorrowful it was for Mona at that moment.
Warren didn’t kill Mona, but her love that she nurtured for years with his bare hands.
He was such a perfect person. Yet, how could he bring himself to kill Mona?
Madison was crying in a storm of resentment, regret, and anger.
Hunter hugged her. “Just let it all out.”
Kneeling in his arms in that dark room, she wailed while grabbing Hunter’s shirt.
Negative emotions were piling on Madison. Hunter knew that she was too weak for an emotional rollercoaster right now.
But he was more worried that something might happen from her bottling her emotions.
Thus, he’d rather she let it all out.
Madison cried for a long time until her voice turned hoarse, and there were no more tears to cry.
Her eyes were empty, and her legs were numb from the kneeling.
She sobbed in Hunter’s arms, and he didn’t utter a word. He kept patting her back gently.
Only when he noticed that she had slowly collected herself did he help her get up.
Forming strength from anguish, she figured he was right-she should live.
If she died, everything would go according to the mastermind’s plan. She should live to pass on the grief of staying alive to that mastermind.
Madison wiped the last tear off. When she looked at Mona’s body, her gaze turned more determined than before.
She yanked the white sheet downward a little to reveal Mona’s hand.
The bracelet Mona treasured was still wearing around her wrist.
Madison bet Mona wouldn’t have thought the bracelet would cost her life when she brought it home that day.
Madison said, “Ask a technician to dismantle this bracelet. See if we can find anything from it.”
“Okay.”
She continued softly, “I won’t let you die in vain, Mona. I, Madison Evans, swear to God that I will make Warren pay the price with his life as long as I’m alive. Don’t worry. I will look after your family. I won’t let anyone hurt them.”
Hunter asked, “Are you going to tell the family about this?”
“Secrets can’t be kept forever. I don’t want Mona to be alone.”
They could keep it a secret for days or months, but not years.
Considering how much Mona loved her family, they would be worried now that she had gone missing for two months.
Prolonged pain was not as good as short pain.
If Madison told her family about it, they would be able to send Mona off for the last time at least.
It would be better than having regrets to find out about it later and not being able to see her for the one last time.
“I’ll make the arrangements.”
Hunter held Madison’s hand, wanting to leave. But she didn’t budge an inch.
Standing at the same spot, she gazed into Hunter’s eyes.
Their eyes were red. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t as grief clouded her eyes.
He knew her well enough to know what she was going to say.
“The babies…” His voice was throaty.
She raised her head to look at him. “Where are they?”
She had to face the cruel reality no matter what.
“I personally brought some men to search the mountain, but we couldn’t find their bodies. Perhaps someone else had taken them away, or they were thrown into the sea.”
“W-What!”
“It was a chaotic night. Those assassins might’ve thrown them into the sea to make sure to get rid of it.
“I asked the team to retrieve their bodies, but we couldn’t find anything.”
Her already pale face appeared more haggard.
Putting her hands on her chest, she wanted to say something only to be unable to speak.
Her whole body was shaking. Hunter didn’t know if it was due to sorrow or anger.
“Calm down, Madie. The babies were born prematurely.
“They’re twins, too. Even If they were alive, they might not have been able to survive.
“Your health matters the most. Focus on your recovery. We can have kids in the future.” Madison, who didn’t say anything, fainted into Hunter’s arms again.
The night had fallen when Madison regained consciousness. She heard cries coming from the corridor.
Fighting through the grogginess, she opened her eyes. She didn’t move.
She stared at the ceiling with hollow eyes instead.
Everything felt like a dream. The haze in her mind rendered it surreal.
Hunter gazed at her with bloodshot eyes. His voice was very hoarse. “Madie, you’re awake.”
From his haggard face alone, it was easy for Madison to tell that he had been looking after her for days and nights consecutively without sleep.
She had received IV drips for the past few days. She didn’t eat anything.
He would press damp cotton bugs on her lips whenever they were chap.
Madison almost couldn’t part her lips when she regained consciousness. She spoke with her eyes instead.
“What do you want? Are you thirsty or hungry? Tell me.”
“I’m thirsty…”
Elated that she finally made a request, he rose from his seat.
However, his sudden action incurred a pang of dizziness because he hadn’t rested or eaten anything for days.
His tall stature was suddenly falling downward.
Fortunately, Hunter was quick enough to hold onto the table to support himself before falling.
Despite his heart-wrenching state, he hurried to the table to pour a glass of warm water for Madison without a rest.
She noticed that the clothes on him were the same ones he wore a few days ago.
Obviously, he hadn’t left her side after she fainted that night.
“Slow down, Madie. Don’t choke yourself.” He was wearing distinct dark circles beneath his eyes and a stubble of beard around his jaw.
How was this haggard man the Hunter she knew?
Hunter was the prominent man who was always in his suit and could turn a place upside down with a lift of a finger.
He was treating her carefully, more carefully than before.
Madison’s throat was so dry that it hurt. So, she kept quiet and drank the water.
After feeding her half a glass of water, he wiped her mouth with a tissue.
He caressed her cheeks as his eyes expressed sorrow.
