waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Madeleine just remembered . Oh , right , she was here on a mission today . Her mom , the matchmaker , would definitely be asking about it later . " Why wouldn't it work out ? " Madeleine pushed aside the plant and peeked over again . " They look like they're getting along just fine . " After Charlotte left , Isabella and Bradley continued talking as if nothing had happened . Isabella would grin from time to time , showing her canine teeth as she smiled . And looking at Bradley across from her , he also looked relaxed , as if he hadn't been affected by Charlotte's appearance at all .

" Listen carefully to what they're talking about . " Madeleine perked up her ears , trying hard to catch their conversation . Chapter 175 " Speaking of which , my professor had a really interesting case last week . A rare alkaloid was found in the deceased's stomach contents , but the toxicology screen didn't show any corresponding toxin . " Bradley frowned . " Alkaloid structures are unstable . It might have degraded during metabolism . When you did the pathology slides , did you find any crystal deposits in the liver? " " We did !

The liver sinusoids were full of needle - like crystals , like it was snowing . But my professor said it was preservative residue ... " Bradley chuckled . " What a coincidence . I heard from a colleague in internal medicine that the ER admitted a patient the day before yesterday . Their urine test showed similar crystals , and it turned out they'd taken some kind of diet pill ... " Madeleine pulled back , a speechless look on her face . " What kind of normal person talks about this stuff on a blind date ? " Rebecca had an I - told - you - so look on her face and chuckled .

" When those two talk about human bodies and corpses , they get more excited than anyone . There's absolutely no desire for Chapter 175 the opposite sex in their eyes ." " True . " Madeleine sighed . " Then I'll just tell my mom they didn't hit it off . " " Don't . If you say that now , your auntie might just try even harder , believe it or not . " Madeleine stared at Rebecca for a moment , then a knowing smile spread across her face . " I knew it , Rebecca ! You've definitely suffered through blind dates before !

" Rebecca looked like she was about to roll her eyes into the back of her head again . Hitting me right where it hurts . " You think everyone's as lucky as you , finding true love so early and avoiding all this trouble ." Even though it was a complaining tone , why did it sound so sweet to Madeleine ? She lowered her head with a shy smile , her little dimples appearing , and the sight made even Rebecca's heart soften . Chapter 175 Before , she thought Roderick must have been crazy to fall for her . Now , she felt that Roderick , that lucky guy , had really lucked out .

After dinner , Bradley and Isabella made plans to go see the mummy museum . " Still following them , Reporter Madeleine ? " Rebecca asked Madeleine , tilting her chin up . " Nope , not following . " " What , scared of mummies ? " Madeleine pouted . " What's there to be scared of ? I have other things to do . " Her time was precious now . Of course she didn't go out just to watch the drama unfold and get some gossip . Madeleine turned her phone around and showed it to Rebecca . " Rebecca , do you know Hengrong International Plaza ? " " Yeah , it's the best value for an office building .

It's close to Chapter 175 downtown , and the price is a lot lower than downtown . " After saying that , Rebecca seemed to figure something out and looked up at Madeleine . " Roderick told me you were starting a business . Are you looking to rent a place now ? " Madeleine grinned and nodded . " I've looked at a bunch of places , and Heng Rong is the best fit . They still have two floors available to lease . " Rebecca thought it was odd . " Roderick is in real estate himself . He could just give you a plot of land to build an office building . Why bother spending money to rent ?

" " It's not the same . " Madeleine shook her head . " That's Roderick's . What's mine is mine , and what's his is his . " Something snapped in Rebecca's mind , and she blurted out without thinking , " Are you worried about dividing assets if you get divorced ? " " Rebecca ! " Chapter 175 Madeleine got worked up and glared at her , annoyed . " Are you even my best friend anymore ? How could you jinx us into getting a divorce ! ? " " Just kidding , just kidding . " Rebecca gave a rare , placating smile . " I was just teasing you .

" She really had just said it off the cuff ; she'd guessed what Madeleine meant as soon as she said it . Of course she supported her starting her own business . " I'm planning to go check out Heng Rong this afternoon . Are you free to come with me ? " " This afternoon ... " Rebecca glanced at her phone . " I have something at three- thirty . I can stay with you until three . " " Okay , then you can head back first . I'll have the driver come pick me up after I'm done .
