waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 301 Every performance of " obsession " for Edward , every " hurt " inflicted upon Roderick , felt like her soul was being sliced by a dull knife . She knew what she was doing; she was lucidly aware of how absurd , how disgusting , how painful it all was . But she couldn't fight back , couldn't even convey a single cry for help with her eyes ! That extreme powerlessness and self - loathing nearly drove her insane . In the dream , she was no longer an ignorant puppet , but a prisoner in heavy shackles , forced to act in a disgusting play .

Her face wore the idiotic smile required by the narrative control , but in her heart , it was raining blood . " Roderick , go away , just go away ... Don't look at me ... Don't believe me ... " She screamed silently in her dream as tears streamed from the corners of her tightly shut eyes , " I'm sorry ... I'm sorry ... " Chapter 301 In the midst of immense grief , the dream finally shifted , as if I was caught in a time warp . The heart - wrenching pain vanished , replaced by the sheer joy of pregnancy . Madeleine reached out and touched her swollen belly . I remember now ...

That afternoon , she had gone to the hospital for a check - up because of drowsiness and vomiting , and the doctor told her she was over two months pregnant . Roderick flew back from abroad almost immediately , rushing to the hospital , travel - worn . He knelt on one knee before Madeleine , unable to say a word , just crying uncontrollably . " Ricki , what are you crying for ? We're going to be a mom and dad , aren't you happy ? " She remembered feeling a sweet helplessness , thinking his silliness was adorable .

However , the Roderick in the dream looked up , his eyes blurred Chapter 301 with tears , but not from joy . Deep in his eyes was an unconcealable , immense panic and heartache . Roderick held her hand , pressing it against his face , his voice choked and nearly broken : " I'm scared , my sweet . " " Pregnancy is too hard , childbirth is too painful . I can't bear to see you suffer even a little ... " At that moment , the dream was veiled in gray , and the joy was gradually replaced by an uneasy premonition and a dull ache . Time flew by , and the scene shifted to the delivery room .

The glaring surgical lights , the smell of disinfectant growing thick and pungent . Intense contractions came in waves like a tide , threatening to tear her apart . She gripped Roderick's hand tightly , her nails digging into his flesh , but he seemed to feel no pain , his face pale as he repeated " I'm here " in her ear over and over . ! Chapter 301 Then , everything started to become chaotic . The doctor's voice grew urgent , the nurses ' footsteps hurried . The monitors let out an alarming beeping sound .

She felt her body temperature dropping , her strength rapidly draining away , and her vision began to blur ... She heard Roderick's voice change , filled with an unprecedented terror : " Doctor ! What's wrong with her ? Blood ... Why is there so much blood ? ! " " The patient is hemorrhaging ! Prepare for resuscitation ! " An icy fear instantly seized the Madeleine in the dream , and also made her sleeping body tremble violently . Chapter 301 " Roderick ... Roderick ... " She murmured unconsciously , cold sweat beading on her forehead . I remember now , I remember more .

Back when she gave birth to Kev , she had truly walked through the gates of Hell . No wonder ... No wonder Roderick's face turned so grim when he heard Kev say he wanted a little sister . It turned out that the fear rooted deep in his heart was far more profound than she had ever imagined . The dream and reality intertwined , and that near - death coldness and boundless darkness seemed to wash over her again , making her shiver involuntarily . But then , the warm embrace surrounding her and the steady , strong heartbeat by her ear anchored her firmly in a safe harbor .

She slowly opened her eyes and met Roderick's worried gaze . " Having a nightmare ? Chapter 301 You kept calling my name just now . " Madeleine nodded , then shook her head . " I dreamed about a lot of things from the past . " Her voice was slightly hoarse , carrying the daze of waking from a nightmare and a hint of knowing sorrow , " I remember everything now , about when I gave birth to Kev ." She paused , gently smoothing his furrowed brow . " You've been scared this whole time , haven't you ?

" Roderick caught her hand , holding it tightly in his palm , as if it was the only way to be sure she was there . He didn't deny it . His Adam's apple bobbed , his voice low and almost hoarse . " Yeah . " One word , but it carried immense weight . It held a heart - stopping shock and a bone - deep fear that words couldn't describe . He could never forget the glaring red in the delivery room , her face turning pale as a sheet in an instant , the piercing sound of the monitor's alarm , and especially not the fear that nearly froze Chapter 301 his soul .
