“Who was your previous employer?”
Madison wasn’t the kind and innocent girl she used to be. Her expression was calm, but she exuded a commanding presence.
She became more mature, and she no longer trusted anyone.
Logan answered smoothly, “My previous employer was the owner of a casino. I was basically his hired. muscle that collected debts for him.”
“The job should’ve paid well, right? Why did you stop working there?”
“The pay was good, but I made a major mistake.”
“Oh? Tell me more.”
“When I went to collect a debt with some men, the debtor was struggling financially.
“According to the policy, if the debtor couldn’t pay up, we would have to bring the wife to our place to work off the debt.
“Their daughter knelt before me and begged for mercy. I helped them… So, I lost my job.”
Vince added, “Don’t worry, Madison. I’ve looked into his background. He isn’t lying. He only came to us because he crossed the local gangs.
“A trusted friend referred him to me. He’s a very capable fighter. He’ll be able to keep you safe.”
Madison nodded. “Okay. You can stay.”
Her attitude was cold. She also set some ground rules.
Logan wasn’t allowed to step foot into her room without expressed permission.
When he was not needed, he must stay at least 10 feet away. Also, he must not try to strike up conversations with her.
Basically, he was of no use when they were at home.
Logan was very obedient. He would lean against the wall with closed eyes, lost in thought when Madison sunbathed in the yard.
He was exactly 10 feet away from Madison.
Madison looked at him.
His hands were crossed, and his head was lowered like he was asleep. It was a very casual stance, but it reminded Madison of Hunter.
She frantically shook her head. She must be crazy to think about that man again.
Although the two of them were similar in build, their personalities were wildly different.
Besides, Hunter had pale skin, while Logan was tanned..
She had just seen Hunter’s cold and elegant demeanor on a live stream just last week. He was completely different from this rugged man before her.
Logan rarely looked at Madison. He would be like a robot in hibernation mode if Madison didn’t c… on him.
During meals, Madison and Tasha would eat first. Logan would eat after Madison returned to her room.
After Mona’s passing, Madison didn’t want to get close to anyone else, even if it was her bodyguard.
If they got close, even if they were just friends, it would make saying goodbye that much harder.
The best way to handle it was to remain distant.
Madison leaned back on the lounge chair as she was reading a medical book. Coincidentally, there was also a plum tree here. A plum blossom fluttered down and landed on her book.
She looked up with a wandering gaze. She would frequently think about Snowball, who used to lay on the
A lot of her memories felt like they just happened yesterday.
She could remember every image vividly, but the people and moments had already passed her by.
There was no going back.
Two uneventful weeks went by. Madison was satisfied with Logan’s performance. He was basically a ghost.
During the day, he would be in the yard when she was in the house.
He wouldn’t even enter the living room, much less the master bedroom.
He would only return to his room after Madison was asleep. The following day, he would already be exercising in the yard when Madison woke up.
Whenever she wanted to go out, she would call for him, and he would push her wheelchair.
Occasionally, they would go out shopping at the supermarket. Other times, they would take a walk around the neighborhood.
Logan rarely talked. He would only speak up when absolutely necessary.
So, most of the time, people would even forget he existed.
That was until one day when he suddenly knocked on the glass door outside the living room.
Madison opened the door and looked at him calmly. “What is it?”
A flash of awkwardness flashed on his blank face. “Ms. Evans, I saw a kitten outside. It looked kind of sad. Should we adopt it?”
Madison put her book down with a surprised expression. “A cat?”
Logan’s hands were behind his back. He slowly pulled his hands to the front and revealed the cat. His. palms were big, and the kitten was tiny.
It was a newly born white kitten. A bit of its ear was missing, like some animal bit it off. The teeth marks were still fresh.
Tears welled up in Madison’s eyes when she saw the kitten.
It looked exactly like Snowball, down to the color of its pupils and its damaged ear.
When she thought about Snowball, she could still see its cold carcass falling next to her from above.
“This…”
Madison felt a pang in her heart. She slowly reached out, trying to touch the kitten. But she was being wary as if her touch would hurt the kitten.
Onvia had been pretty emotionally was
But she was completely worked up at the moment, with a complicated expression on her face.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Evans. I didn’t know you disliked cats. I’ll get it out of here immediately.”
The kitten was still purring.
Madison exclaimed frantically, “Don’t throw it out. Give it to me.”
She grabbed the kitten from Logan’s grasp.
The kitten’s fur was soft. It was a bit dirty, but its eyes were innocent and pure.
The kitten observed Madison curiously. It wasn’t afraid of her at all.
Madison asked in a whisper, “Snowball, have you come back to me?”
Logan was puzzled. “Ms. Evans, do you know this cat?”
“I had a pet cat that looked like this kitten.”
Madison carried the kitten in her arms lovingly.
Logan reminded, “Ms. Evans, if you want to adopt it, we should probably bring it to a veterinarian.
“This kitten is probably a stray. We can get it treated if it has any health issues. Besides, it needs to be cleaned.”
“Okay. Can I leave this to you? Never mind. I’ll go with you.”
Madison was treating the kitten like the second coming of Snowball. There was finally some joy on her face.
“We’ll go to a vet now.”
“Okay, Ms. Evans. I’ll make preparations now. Hold on a moment.”
Madison had the kitten in her arms throughout the entire drive. She didn’t mind that the kitten was dirty. She smiled tenderly as she patted the kitten.
Logan said, “Ms. Evans, I’ve heard people say that sometimes people or things you lose would come back to you eventually.”
The first thing that appeared in Madison’s mind after Logan said that wasn’t Snowball. It was Hunter’s face.
She was so stunned that she trembled.
Logan slowly added, “Maybe your cat has come back for you. Every meeting is meant to be. Perhaps your cat has returned to you in a different form.”
Madison’s brows unfurrowed. That explanation made her feel better.
Everyone should have a new chance at life. Snowball was like that; she was the same.
When they arrived at the veterinarian clinic, the veterinarian performed a thorough check on the kitten. He noticed that Madison was very tense the whole time.
She was worried that the kitten might have a weak immune system.
It would be bad if it was infected with something like the feline panleukopenia when it was a stray.
The veterinarian took off his gloves and reassured her, “Don’t worry. The kitten is in good health.
“It’s just a little dirty. It doesn’t even have ear mites. We just need to clean it up and vaccinate it. Miss, please wait while I take the kitten for a bath.”
“Alright.”
Madison waited outside the room, but her eyes were fixed on the kitten the whole time as she looked at it through the window.
It was because she had lost Snowball before that she cherished the new kitten. Madison had the kitten in her arms the entire way home.
In her eyes, the kitten was Snowball.
The kitten was very close with Madison, too. It would either play right next to her or follow her around everywhere.
Even when they sleep at night, the kitten would be in her arms.
Madison felt like a piece of her heart had been restored.
For some reason, she kept feeling like someone was looking at her at night. She didn’t know if she was just imagining it.
She felt it again, so she quickly opened her eyes. But no one was there.
Her curtains weren’t drawn, so she could see what was going on in the yard.
It was quiet there. Upon closer inspection, she could see someone under the plum tree.
It was Logan.
But Logan wasn’t looking at her. Snowball was no longer sleeping next to her.
It had gone out to the yard.
Under the dim lights, Logan crouched on the ground and played with Snowball.
The normally quiet man had a gentle expression. He was also holding a cat teaser in his hand.
The man and the cat were having a lot of fun together.
Oliva didn’t expect such a burly man like Logan to have a soft side to him. For a split second, Logan’s crouching position reminded Madison of Hunter.
She quickly dispelled the unrealistic thought from her mind. That was impossible. Hunter never liked cats, while Logan seemed to like Snowball a lot.
