Filed to story: Mr Williams Madame Is Dying Novel Free Online (Madison & Hunter)
“So, I stayed in the village and learned from Madam Wendy while I tried to uncover the truth. But I’ve been to many places in the past few years and never found anything.”
“Poor girl. If you ever recall anything, you can tell Linus. He would be able to help you.”
“Sure. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Heath.”
Madison was very courteous and modest. That was why she was very likable.
Krystal and Hunter entered the room simultaneously. Madison was still feeding Mason, so she didn’t move away.
The Heaths would never talk about anything confidential while she was there anyway.
She nodded at Hunter and Krystal as she greeted them. “Mr. Williams, Ms. Heath.”
Krystal turned her head and ignored Madison.
Hunter said with indifference, “Thanks for your hard work.”
No one would ever guess that they were sleeping together.
“Dad, she’s very clumsy. Let me feed you,” Krystal said as she grabbed the bowl from Madison.
Mason barked at her, “Why are you still so restless despite your age? You should learn from Vanessa.
“She saved my life. You should show her some respect.”
Krystal stuck her tongue out and said, “Okay, Dad.”
“Hunter, come here. I have something to tell you.”
“What is it, Mr. Heath?”
“This near-death experience has revealed to me that Krystal is the one that I’m the most worried about.
“Hunter, you’re someone I’ve watched grow up and taught you personally.
“I won’t be able to trust anyone else. Your last relationship ended a few years ago, and Krystal only has eyes for you. What do you think…”
With Madison gone, Mason had talked to Hunter about this matter several times in the past few years.
Krystal had also been asking Mason to talk about this a lot.
But Hunter was a pretty important person to Mason, and he had always respected Hunter’s wishes. So, this matter was just set aside indefinitely.
Krystal had a shy expression on her face.
Mason continued, “You were unwilling in the past. I know you loved your ex-wife deeply and wanted to remarry her someday.
“But she has been gone for four years. That’s a very long time. My daughter has liked you for so many years.
“I wouldn’t mention it if you had someone you liked, but you’ve been single for so long.
“I’ve always treated you like my son. Why don’t we make our bond even stronger?”
Hunter had followed Mason for many years and resolved many troublesome matters for him. He knew that Mason really held him in high regard.
Once someone got to a position of power, all he would think about was his authority.
Mason had gradually forgotten how he got to where he was.
As he grew older, he started to fear death and loss because he had too much to lose.
Eventually, he started to fear Hunter. He felt like Hunter was far too capable.
A sharp blade would be good for cutting down the enemy. But if he couldn’t be controlled.
He would become very dangerous.
That was why Mason helped bring the Kingstons to a position of power.
He created a rival for Hunter. The goal was to strip Hunter of some of the power he had and to keep him in check.
Otherwise, Hunter would’ve been promoted long ago.
He was urging Hunter to marry his daughter because he would only be able to truly trust
Hunter if they were family.
Linus said coldly, “My sister has waited so many years for you. As a man, you should be responsible for her, right?”
Tatiana played the role of a good cop. “Why are you two so stern? It looks like we’re forcing him to marry Krystal.
“Hunter, you know I like you the most. I’ve treated you like my son, just as Mason has. You’ve been well- behaved since you were young.
“I called you over to celebrate the festivities every year because I’ve never seen you as an outsider. I’ve always thought how great it would be if you were a Heath.”
She sighed, then added, “Back then, you were determined to get married. Mason and I were happy for you. But it didn’t last. The relationship ended on a sour note.
“I felt bad for you and that Evans woman. Neither of you were to blame. You were from different worlds. You couldn’t possibly achieve true happiness.
“You’re a smart man. You know what’s best for you. You and Krystal are meant for each other.
“You are similar in social status, and Krystal is head over heels for you. She’s been waiting for you all these years.
She’s even promised to treat your children well.
“Tell me, what do you think about this? Do you have any reservations?”
Madison finally knew how cunning these people were. They utilized sympathy and intimidation. It was clear they wanted to put Hunter on the spot.
If she were right, they would probably try to entrap him morally.
Hunter discreetly took his hand out of Tatiana’s grasp and said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Heath. My biggest reservation is that I see Krystal as a sister. I don’t have any romantic feelings for her.”
As soon as he said that, Krystal broke down into tears.
Krystal rushed toward Hunter with tears in her eyes. She pounded his chest with all her might.
“Hunter, why are you so heartless? I gave you my heart, and you brushed me aside. You had a viable reason to reject me in the past.
“But Madison has been gone for so many years. Do you really think she would return?”
“Her return is one thing. Me accepting another woman is another.”
Hunter walked around her and got to the side of the bed. He looked at Mason with determination in his eyes.
“Mr. Heath, I’m very grateful for the teachings you and Mrs. Heath provided me. The two of you will always be very important people to me.
“Our relationship will never change even if I don’t marry Krystal now or in the future. I will take good care of you both.
“I appreciate the gesture, but it’s like what I said six months ago. Krystal is getting to the age where she should start a family, but I’m not worthy of her.”
Hunter said humbly, “I’ve already been married, but it’s Krystal’s first. Also, I have someone else I love. This is unfair to her.
“It would be better for me to make things clear right now than to have her spend her days in misery in the future. You should find someone more worthy of her than me.”
Tatiana and Mason exchanged glances. Then, Tatiana said,” Yes, what you say is true, Hunter. But the problem is Krystal is a very strong-willed woman. She’s decided that she would marry you and no one else.
“Do you really want to see her spending the rest of her days alone? Also, both of you share the same blood type, which is very rare. You can help and support each other if either of you gets hurt.”
Tatiana sighed. “Krystal has been raised in a very protected environment. She has never endured any hardships in her life. She would make a huge fuss even if she had a paper cut on her finger.
“But she was willing to transfer so much blood to you. I couldn’t bear to see her in pain, but she insists on doing everything she can for you.
“Your family has never been perfect, but Mason, Linus, and I have always treated you like one of our own. I think this marriage would be great.
“I understand what you’re worried about. You’re looking out for Krystal but can’t just keep living in the past. Getting married to Krystal will help you get over it. We should always look to the future, right?”
Tatiana had a way with words that was on Mason’s level.
Madison sat on the side and munched on some pistachios.
The situation reminded her of a she read a couple of days ago. A poor man went to the city with money from his wife to make a name for himself.
When he succeeded, he caught the eye of the princess and was pressured into marrying her. His wife waited for him at home for him to bring her to the city, but all that came was a letter divorcing her.
A similar situation was unfolding before her very eyes. It was not something she could see every day.
As everyone was immersed in the conversation, a sudden crunching sound could be heard. Madison accidentally let out a sound while munching on the pistachios.
Everyone turned their gaze toward her, and she froze. She didn’t know what to do with the pistachio in her mouth.
She waved her hand awkwardly and said, “Well… why don’t you guys carry on?”
Krystal finally realized there was an outsider here. “Why are you here? Who said you could stay here? Get out!”
Madison put down the pistachios. She knew she should’ve munched on something that wouldn’t make a noise. She would be missing out on the drama.
“Then I won’t be a nuisance anymore.”
Madison shrugged in resignation. It was a pity. The drama was so interesting, but she would never get to witness it anymore.
Mason cut Krystal off coldly. “Krystal, I told you to show Vanessa some respect.”
Krystal had nowhere to vent the frustration of being rejected by Hunter. Madison was the only outsider in the room. Naturally, she unloaded all her anger on her.
Mason had always been gentle and loving toward her. So, she didn’t like his attitude toward her at the moment.
“Dad, why are you also like this? I didn’t say anything wrong. We were discussing something here as a family. Who does she think she is, eavesdropping on us? She’s so rude.”
“Krystal, it seems like I’ve been too easy on you and spoiled you rotten. Is this how you should act?” Mason’s voice grew even colder.
“It’s all your fault!” Krystal glared at Madison.
Madison set the pistachios in her hand down and patted her hands clean.
“Yeah, yeah. It’s all my fault. I’ll just disappear then.”
Madison went up to Mason and said, “Mr. Heath, I’m relieved to see your recovery has been coming along well. You’re out of critical condition now.
“You only need to have the other doctors nurse you back to health. There’s no need for me to stay any longer.”
Madison had only said she would consider staying, but Krystal helped her make up her mind.
The Heaths’ expressions changed when she said she was leaving. Tatiana left Hunter alone and rushed to Madison.
“Please don’t take Krystal’s words to heart. Don’t say you want to leave just because of that.”
“Mom, just let her leave. She’s just a doctor. We can get new ones anytime. Mr. Tucker and the others are fine, too.”
For some reason, Krystal hated Madison as soon as she saw her in the village. The fact that Willow tried to kill her only made matters worse.
Her instincts told her to stay as far away from Madison as possible.
Linus slapped her without another word. This time, he slapped her harder than when he slapped her before the operating room.
There was blood on the corner of Krystal’s lips.
“I’ve warned you to be more polite to our family’s benefactor. Did you already forget what I said?”
“Linus, you slapped me for this bitch again? What’s so great about her? All she did was perform a surgery. But you all are treating her like some big shot?”
She was slapped again. This time by Hunter instead of Linus.
Everyone was shocked to see Hunter hit her. His slap wasn’t just an attack on Krystal but also on the pride of the Heath Family.
