She tapped her phone and saw a familiar face.
It was Hunter.
How did he find her here? Was he a bloodhound?
“Hunter is here, Jack. I’ll go see what he wants.”
“Okay.”
She had a deal with Hunter. He wouldn’t come looking for her here without a good reason.
Something was wrong.
Hunter wouldn’t do anything to harm her, so she would know what was up after they met up.
Madison opened the door. “Why are you …”
Her sentence was cut short when Hunter rushed forward and hugged her. Madison was shocked by his warm embrace.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I’m so glad you’re okay. Your phone was turned off. I have been searching for you the whole day.”
Madison suddenly remembered that she had turned off the phone she used to contact Hunter because she was performing surgery and didn’t want to be interrupted.
“I mean … I was just gone for a day. You don’t need to overreact.”
She couldn’t really understand what Hunter was thinking.
But she suppressed the surprised look on her face when she felt his body trembling.
“Madie, do you know how I felt when I lost you? I looked for you for more than 1000 days. Do you even know how I lived through those days?
“I’ve finally found you. I don’t want anything else. I just wish you happiness and good health. I noticed that you left in a hurry this morning. I was afraid something would happen to you.”
Hunter’s words moved Madison. She really didn’t know Hunter would be so afraid of losing her. She reached out and patted him on the back.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Do I look like something happened to me?”
The panic in Hunter’s eyes slowly dissipated.
“I went to the Davis Residence. They told me you were unwell and didn’t go to treat Andrea. So, I was worried.”
Madison cleared her throat.
“It’s because you overdid it last night. You pressed me against the glass…”
She blushed when she said that.
Hunter looked at her with a concerned expression. “Are you feeling better now?”
“I’m a doctor myself. I felt better after taking some medications. Look at all the snow on you. How long have you been standing outside?”
Madison reached out and swept the snow off his shoulders. Hunter used to be a very calm person. He had never been so pitiful.
Hunter’s stomach rumbled.
Madison could see that he was uneasy. “Haven’t you eaten anything the whole day?”
“I wasn’t in the mood to eat while you were still missing.”
Madison didn’t know what to say.
She led him into the house and said, “I’ll make you some food.”
Hunter’s hand was cold. She could only imagine how hard he worked to find her.
Everything outside was covered in snow. Snowflakes were still falling in the yard.
As Madison was complaining, she brought him inside the house.
Hunter observed Madison’s yard closely. He wanted to know her current preferences based on the items in the yard.
His gaze fell on a rug that was already frozen. It was apparent that the rug had just been washed.
Most people would use a fabric cleaning machine when washing a rug. It could clean out stains very quickly.
Was that rug covered in stains?
Hunter was curious. It would take quite some time to clean such a huge rug, right?
Did Madison rush over here to clean?
A gust of warm air flowed toward them when they entered the living room. There was also a faint fragrance in the air.
The lights were bright. The temperature was warm. The place felt very homely.
Madison hung the jacket he took off on a nearby rack.
“Madie, is this your home?”
“Yeah. This is my temporary home in Aldenvine.
“You aren’t planning on moving, right? This entire house is designed based on your preference. You picked out this furniture yourself, right?”
Hunter knew her well.
Madison nodded. “Yeah. I was born and raised in Aldenvine. I wanted to have a home here.”
That was why she spent so much money to acquire the medical equipment. She wanted to be prepared for every occasion.
Hunter felt bad when he heard that. “Madie. I’m sorry.”
She used to have a home.
When the Evanss went bankrupt, their residence was seized. Even if it was reacquired later, it was no longer her home.
The house she lived in when she married Hunter was filled with unpleasant memories.
Andrea lived in Collington Cove before, and the apartment belonged to Vince.
This was the only house she bought herself and never belonged to anyone else. She picked out everything in the house personally.
“It’s all in the past. I’ll make you some pasta.”
Madison quickly headed to the kitchen.
Hunter looked at the flowers on the dining table. Madison was still the same. She placed some fresh flowers there.
The main color in the living room was beige. It looked very warm.
Hunter took a look around the house. He was like a lion that was surveying his territory.
He took a cup of water and was about to sit down and take a break when he dropped his car keys.
When he crouched down to pick them up, he noticed a shade of red under the couch. The bright color stood out against the beige-colored couch. It was hard to miss.
It was blood. It was a new stain that had been left there not more than ten hours ago. But why would there be blood under the couch?
Hunter looked at the spotless floor. It was so clean it was also shining. Then, Hunter thought about the rug he saw when he walked in.
A thought began to form in his mind.
Someone had bled all over the rug. The blood was everywhere, and it got under the couch.
Madison missed it when she was cleaning.
There was indeed a reason for her hasty departure.
Hunter’s eyes darkened. Who was the injured person? Why was the person injured? Was the person still in the vicinity?
Questions popped up in his head.
After a while, Madison brought two plates of pasta out while wearing an apron. She looked like she was a housewife like she used to be. Hunter couldn’t see anything suspicious about her.
Madison had matured. The Madison of the past was like an open book. She had grown to be able to keep her emotions hidden when she was with her.
“It’s already so late. You haven’t eaten either?”
Madison popped open a can and added the hot sauce to her plate.
“Yeah. I have been cleaning the whole day. I didn’t have the time to eat.”
Madison knew that Hunter was very observant. She was sure he probably already noticed the rug.
“Why don’t you hire a housekeeper? It would be a waste of time for you to clean such a large house.”
Madison was spreading the hot sauce on her pasta to make it more even. Her face was lowered so Hunter couldn’t see her facial expression.
“I’m used to it. I cleaned the house we used to live in by myself, too.”
“Madie…”
“Eat. The pasta is getting cold.”
Madison didn’t tell him anything, and Hunter wasn’t in a position to inquire further.
The atmosphere became strained.
Hunter didn’t tell Madison why he was looking for her yet.
“Madie, tonight…”
Madison shut him down without hesitation. “I want to rest today. You’ve seen me. You should leave after you finish the pasta.”
Hunter reached out and held her hand. “Madie, why are you in such a rush to get rid of me? Are you hiding another man in this house?”
Madison didn’t know if she should be amazed at how accurate his intuition was.
“Hunter, what does that have to do with you? I’m not hiding anyone. But even if I was hiding a man, you’re in no position to intervene.”
Her cold demeanor reminded Hunter of his response back when she asked about his relationship with Andrea. He said something similar to brush her question aside.
This time, Madison gave him the same response.
That was true. They were no longer in a relationship. They weren’t even lovers.
The night of passion was something he had to beg for.
If they really wanted to lay everything bare, the truth would only hurt Hunter.
He had no one to blame but himself. That was how he treated Madison in the past. It was retribution for his actions.
Madison caressed his face and said, ‘Hunter, you should behave while I am still attracted to you physically.”
She was like a seductive but venomous snake hissing in his ear. “Or else, I can end this ridiculous relationship whenever I want. What do you think?”
Hunter was at a loss for words. He was the weaker party in this relationship. So, he lost the initiative and his pride. But he was still willing to be part of it.
Hunter smiled in resignation. “But Madie, I didn’t seek you out to do it. I need your help for something.”
Madison moved away from him and sat down at the dining table. She supported her face with her arm and said, “What can I do about something the great Hunter Williams can’t deal with?”
“You can remove bullets from the heart.”
