Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter)
Logically speaking, she should find refuge in places like these as soon as possible. After the rain, the temperature in the valley would lower. Without dry clothes, her body would quickly lose heat.
If she encountered some creepy crawlies that bit her, she would be done for.
But Madison was still worried about Hunter, so she couldn’t be bothered to rest.
Hunter started two hours earlier than her, so when he landed, it hadn’t rained yet. The rain had washed away all traces of him.
Madison stood under the shade of the trees. Her body was already drenched a long time ago. She stared at the various vegetation, stunned. For some reason, she felt wronged.
What was she doing? Why would she place herself in such a situation?
Last time, in the snake den, she dashed toward Hunter without care for anything else. Did she truly not love him, like she had claimed?
She thought, “Hunter, where would you be?”
Madison was out of ideas, so she had no choice but to head north first. Hunter must have made preparations before leaving, and the exit was in the north.
The rain grew heavier, and Madison picked up pace.
If Hunter was headed north, now that the rain was pouring, he would find refuge first. It wouldn’t be too hard for Madison to find him. She would be glad as long as he was alive!
When she thought that, her feet gathered more strength.
She heard some beast crying in the distance. It sounded like a boar.
It was mating season for the boars, and boars that had their younglings with them were the most ferocious of all. Could it be that Hunter…
Madison hastily ran forward.
When she drew closer, she realized that it was a boar fighting with a python. The python had wrapped its body around the boar.
The boar was strong, and it rammed into trees with the python on its body. It was trying to knock the python off of it.
Madison, who had accidentally barged onto the scene, was quite unlucky. The boar was charging in her direction.
Madison reacted quickly. She swiftly took out her gun and shot at the boar. She wanted to scare the boar into changing directions.
There was a loud bang. The boar didn’t get hit, but the python on its body was shot instead. The boar was startled, but it didn’t change direction. Instead, it ran right at Madison.
“Watch out!”
Before Madison could react, the boar took a few shots on its legs. With its legs broken, of course, the boar couldn’t keep running. It crashed to the ground because of the inertia.
Because of its great speed, it began rolling like a ball, dragging the python with it.
A figure moved even quicker. With a sharp dagger in their hands, the person slashed at the python’s head.
In the blink of an eye, both the boar and python were taken care of.
A pair of thick-soled Martin boots arrived in front of Madison. The man’s face was streaked with blood, which made him look even more valiant. He slowly crouched down.
There was a complicated look in his eyes, which Madison couldn’t figure out. “Madie, you shouldn’t be here.”
As their eyes met, Madison suddenly leaped off the ground. Just as she had done in the snake den, she held Hunter tightly.
“Damn it, who permitted you to run away? Do you know how worried I was about you?”
Hunter knelt on the ground on one knee. His eyes widened as shock filled his face.
Last night, Madison had said so certainly that she hated him and found him disgusting.
He thought that he didn’t have a chance anymore. He chose to leave so that she could stop crying and he wouldn’t be an eyesore to her.
But Madison’s embrace made him feel like the dying embers in the fireplace were rekindled. His heart began to thump wildly, and his suppressed emotions were slowly revived.
“Madie, what did you just say…”
Pulling away from his arms, Madison said through gritted teeth, “I said that I was very worried about you, alright?”
Grabbing his collar, she jerked him forward. Then, she raised her head and planted a kiss on Hunter’s lips.
Hunter felt like his mind had just exploded.
What was he seeing?
He couldn’t believe that Madison was taking the initiative to kiss him.
In the past, he would have to think of a hundred ways to get close to her. Now that Madison was taking the initiative to kiss him, he couldn’t quite get used to it. He stood completely still.
He feared that he was in a dream, and when he woke up from the dream, Madison would be gone.
Rain poured down their heads, but they had forgotten their current situation.
Hunter had been suppressing it for so long, and so had Madison.
She was switching between loving him, hating him, and feeling bad for him. She had loved him and hated him deeply in the past, and in the end, they went their separate ways.
People always said that everything faded with time, but in the past few years, Madison didn’t forget about Hunter at all. Instead, their reunion this time had opened her eyes.
She finally realized how important he was to her.
As it turned out, when he carried her out of the water back then, that single glance changed their lives forever.
From today onward, no matter how long the path she had to take or who she encountered, she would never be able to forget him.
It felt like there was whole lifetime in that kiss.
At least, at that moment, Madison had forgotten all the grudges between them.
After being worried for a long time, she finally saw Hunter safe and sound. The emotions she had been suppressing for so long finally rushed out of her. She couldn’t stop it at all.
The kiss almost suffocated them. Placing his forehead against hers, Hunter let out a heavy sigh. “Madie, you’re the one who dashed over yourself. Even if you beg me, I’ll never let you go again.”
Hunter gently pulled her into his arms. With great ease, he carried her away.
Madison didn’t struggle. She had used up too much mental and physical energy, so her body was exhausted.
Also, she seemed to have waited too long for this familiar embrace.
She leaned her head against Hunter’s arms. She wasn’t thinking of anything now.
Other than the sounds of the rain, she could also hear Hunter’s heartbeat.
As expected, Hunter had already found a temporary refuge nearby.
He wasn’t as brash as Madison. After going back last night, he began packing up and planning a route out.
He had prepared everything, from weapons to food and sleeping bags. He estimated that he would have to spend about a week or more in the forest. He even brought along a first aid kit in case he got hurt.
His backpack was filled to the brim.
Fortunately, it only started to rain after he went down the cliff. He had ample time to find a small cave to set up a refuge in.
He never thought that Madison would scale the cliff to look for him.
Hunter had just brought Madison back to the refuge when he couldn’t control his overwhelming emotions anymore. As he undid Madison’s clothes, he kissed her.
Madison hissed through her teeth.
It was only then that Hunter came to his senses. He was so elated that desire clouded his thoughts. Madison had descended in the heavy rain, so she must have gotten hurt.
“Where are you hurt, Madie?”
Even until now, Madison’s mind was in a mess. Before this, she went after Hunter without care for anything else. Now that she had bumped into Hunter for real, her face was filled with an awkward expression.
After all, she even spoke harshly to Hunter last night. She was eating her words too soon.
She didn’t know how she should talk to Hunter. Her mind was in a mess, and her heart was even messier.
“I-I’m fine.”
There wasn’t any illumination in the cave, and the light from outside was meager.
It was daytime, but in reality, it wasn’t much different from night.
Fortunately, Hunter was very experienced in survival in the wild. He had gathered lots of firewood before it rained. He hadn’t gotten the chance to use them yet, but now that Madison was here, they came in handy.
Hunter took out a lighter. Then, he quickly lit the firewood.
A warm glow instantly lit up the dark cave.
Turning around, Hunter studied Madison. She was wearing a black windproof mountaineering jacket. Her jacket was torn in many spots, and he could faintly see the straps under the jacket.
“Where were you hurt?” he asked again.
Madison felt that after she had trained herself for so long, she didn’t want to show her weak side to Hunter.
She subconsciously hid her hand behind her. “Why would I be hurt? I’m familiar with the paths on this mountain. I—“
Grabbing her wrist, Hunter pulled her hand out. The sight of her bloody palm caused Hunter’s heart to ache. “Madie!”
“I’m fine. I’m not as weak as you imagine. Minor injuries like this will heal in a few days.”
But Hunter’s eyes turned red. “I’m sorry, I caused you to be hurt again.”
“What are you talking about? I didn’t do it for you. 1-1 just didn’t want you to die here. People might say that I’m a bad doctor. I.. Mm…”
That was the only way Hunter could stop her from saying things she didn’t mean. Even if he were an idiot, he could still figure out Madison’s true feelings.
Perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry to get Madison to reconcile with him, he had overlooked the consequences of his actions on her heart.
The troubles weighing on her heart weren’t resolved back then, or perhaps even she wasn’t sure what she truly wanted. He had to give her some time for her to realize that he was being sincere.
Hunter let go of her. “Don’t move. I have a first aid kit here, so I’ll apply some ointment for you. It’ll be troublesome if your wounds get infected in a place like this.”
Madison stopped being stubborn. She knew many medicinal herbs, but their effects weren’t as fast as conventional medicine.
She obediently allowed Hunter to clean her wounds. Then, he disinfected them and bandaged them in one go.
He wasn’t a doctor, but he bandaged wounds very quickly. She could see right away that he was used to getting hurt himself.
She subconsciously felt some sympathy for him. Cyril, the kind soul, had put in many good words for him.
Hunter added more firewood to the fire. He even set up a simple grilling rack with branches.
“Your clothes are drenched. You have to take them off and dry them over the fire.”
“It’s okay, I…” Madison wanted to decline.
But Hunter insisted. “If you’re not taking them off, I’ll do it. You know how quick I am with these things.”
When he saw Madison pouting, he softened his voice.
“Don’t worry, I brought a down sleeping bag. Get in and rest for a moment. I’ll dry the clothes for you, and they’ll be done in no time.”
It truly was uncomfortable to keep the wet clothes on her. Madison said exasperatedly, “Fine. Turn around. Don’t look at me.”
When she said that, she regretted it immediately. They had done everything last night, so wasn’t it too late for her to say these things now?
But Hunter was much more obedient compared to last night.” Alright, I won’t look. I have some clothes in my bag, so put them on for the time being. They’re clean.”
With that, he got up and went out. “I’ll scatter the insect repellent powder.”
Madison found a large shirt of Hunter’s. After changing into it, she hastily lay in the sleeping bag.
