waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 316 The nurse said only two people could go in at a time to avoid disturbing the patient . Roderick stopped Madeleine , saying Owen should go in first . After he went in , Roderick told Madeleine what Gerry had just said . " Ed ... Edward ? " When Madeleine heard the name , her pupils constricted . The name slipped out , her voice hushed with shock . She hadn't said his name in so long ; saying it again felt strange . Roderick's expression was terrifyingly dark , his eyes cold . He nodded , confirming Madeleine's unspoken question .

" Gerry checked the security footage of the entrance and exit and spotted Edward . He was here for an inspection , and at that time , he was indeed where Mrs. Miller would have been . " Roderick lowered his voice . Chapter 316 " Maddie , about those questions I asked you the other night ... I think I've figured out some of the answers . Mrs. Miller ... she was probably one of the people who got caught up in this , right ? " The color drained from Madeleine's face . She opened her mouth , but her throat was too dry to make a sound , so she could only nod slightly .

Roderick was silent for a moment . " Tell me , hmm ? " Despair washed over Madeleine . She looked into Roderick's eyes , and after a long moment , tears streamed down her face . " Roderick , have you ever ... ever suspected that this world isn't real ? " As soon as she said it , something clicked in Roderick's mind . He suddenly remembered something . Back when Madeleine said she had amnesia and started acting strangely , she sent him a lot of novels and short - form web series . Chapter 316 At the time , Roderick didn't think much of it .

He just figured that since Madeleine had lost her recent memories , she was probably like her high school self , still into Billionaire Romance novels . But thinking about it now ... No. The things Madeleine sent him back then were all from the " Book Transmigration , " " Time Travel genre ," or " Side Character's Revenge plot " genres . So ... A terrifying thought slowly crept into Roderick's mind . He stared at Madeleine , the answer on the tip of his tongue . After knowing each other for so many years , just one look at Roderick's reaction and Madeleine knew he had figured it out .

She didn't have time for tears , quickly wiping them away and grabbing Roderick to look him over from head to toe . " How are you ? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere ? " " Does your head hurt ? What about your body? Should I call a Chapter 316 doctor for you ? " Roderick didn't answer . Instead , he suddenly reached out and pulled Madeleine into a hug . It all made sense . Everything was logical . Why the past Madeleine seemed like a different person , but on closer inspection , it wasn't that her core had changed , but ... it was like she was wearing a mask .

Because she had a " mission " she had to complete . A " narrative control " she had to follow . Roderick felt as if something was slowly hammering at his heart , making it painful to breathe . Madeleine had always been a very independent person , never wanting others to interfere in things she could handle herself . After they got together , it took Roderick a long time to convince Madeleine that he was someone who would unreservedly share her burdens when she faced difficulties . But these past few years ... he couldn't help with anything . Chapter 316 He had broken his promise .

Or rather , it was simply impossible . He had to let Madeleine go through this pain all by herself . But why ? Even if this wasn't the real world , even if it was a made - up utopia , couldn't the side characters like them have lives they could control ? This wasn't how Madeleine's life was supposed to be . " Roderick , Roderick ! " Held in his arms , Madeleine grew more and more panicked . She worried something was wrong with Roderick , her voice turning sharp . Roderick buried his face in the crook of her neck and took a deep breath . " Mmm , I'm fine .

" He mumbled , slowly lifting his head . The rims of his eyes were red . ! Chapter 316 He cupped Madeleine's face in his hands , his eyes full of tenderness . His thumbs slowly wiped the tears from her cheeks , his gaze so deep it felt like it could pull her in . " I'm alright ." His voice was incredibly hoarse . " Are you really okay ? Roderick didn't answer immediately . He took a moment to check how he felt . Besides the dull ache in his heart from seeing Madeleine in pain and blaming himself , there really didn't seem to be any other feeling .

Watching Roderick nod seriously, Madeleine's eyes flashed with surprise , but also a hint of confusion . Roderick ... he didn't have any side effects ? Just as she was thinking , Owen came out of the hospital room , his expression much softer than before . " Roderick ? Chapter 316 What are you two talking about ? " Roderick forced his expression to look normal and looked up at him .
