waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

hapter 333 She took a deep breath , wiped her tears , her gaze becoming incredibly firm . No matter what she had to face , no matter how powerful the so - called " narrative control " was , she would not back down . Since Roderick dared to defy fate for them , she would also fight with everything she had to protect him and their home . With that thought , Madeleine slowly stood up and walked toward Edward's hospital room . The only sound in the hospital room was the beeping of the machines .

Fiona sat by the bed , looking down at Edward , and that dense , suffocating feeling surfaced once again . She gave a bitter smile . Just as she thought , no matter when , the moment she saw Edward , she would inevitably fall for him . Even though she had already seen through him , this man would Chapter 333 never give her the love she wanted . Wasn't what she wanted a pure love , like what Roderick had for Madeleine - unreserved , without the power dynamic of a superior to a subordinate ? These were things Edward clearly couldn't give her .

Tears welled up for some reason , and Fiona raised a trembling hand to wipe them away . " You ... you're crying ? " Edward had woken up at some point , looking at her weakly , his voice a bit hoarse . Fiona was startled by the sudden voice , quickly turning her face away to wipe the tears . When she turned back , she had forced a smile as if nothing was wrong . " You're awake ? How are you feeling ? Does anywhere else hurt ? " She avoided his question , her tone deliberately distant and polite . Chapter 333 Edward didn't answer , just looked at her deeply .

Those eyes that had once captivated her , though weak now , still held an indescribable pull , as if they could see right into her heart . " Were you crying for me ? " His voice was low , with a hint of uncertainty , and a trace of ... perhaps it was her imagination , softness . Fiona's heart leaped , as if it had been scalded by something . She denied it instinctively , " No , you saw wrong . It's ... it's just that my eyes were bothering me a moment ago . " She stood up , wanting to get him a glass of water to escape his overly focused gaze . " Fiona . " But he called out to her softly .

The name , coming from his lips , carried a long - lost intimacy that made her heart ache . Fiona's steps faltered . With her back to him , she secretly dug her nails into her palm . " I know ... I might have done some things wrong lately . " Chapter 333 Edward's voice was tired and held a rare confusion . " A lot of things ... seem to have gone wrong . But seeing you here , I feel ... a little more at ease ." His words were like a feather , lightly scratching at the emotional walls Fiona had worked so hard to build . See , this is how it is .

He could always , with just a few casual words , make her hard - won determination waver . She took a deep breath and turned around , her face having regained its usual composure , even holding a faint hint of sarcasm : " You're joking , Mr. Carroll . You're just unwell . Abraham notified me , and I came to check on you out of courtesy . You should get some rest . The doctor said you need to recuperate in peace . " She placed the glass of water on the nightstand , her movements crisp and efficient , and didn't look at him again . " If there's nothing else , I won't disturb you .

" After saying that , she picked up her bag and turned to leave . Chapter 333 She was afraid that if she stayed a second longer , she would be drowned again by that damned , uncontrollable emotion . " Don't go ! " Edward suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist . His grip wasn't strong , it was even a little weak , but the cold touch and the sudden movement still made Fiona freeze . " Stay with me for a little while ... just a little while . " His voice held an almost pleading tone , something the old Edward would never have used . Fiona froze , completely torn .

Her head told her she had to leave immediately , to not get involved any further . But a part of her heart ached at his rare display of vulnerability . I'm done for . Fiona . She told herself silently . Chapter 333 It looks like ... you're about to make the same mistake all over again . That feeling of being uncontrollably drawn to him washed over her again like a tide , leaving her with a deep sense of helplessness and fear . She knew it was an abyss , but she still couldn't stop herself from wanting to get closer . The shock made Fiona's whole body tremble uncontrollably .

Her head was splitting , and tears fell like beads from a broken string . " Enough ... Enough ! " She threw off Edward's hand with all her might . " What do you want from me ? Edward , why do I stop being myself whenever I'm near you ? " " I'm not supposed to be like this .
