waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 338 Her first instinct was to look at Roderick , and her gaze met his smiling , deep eyes . " You're awake ? 11 Madeleine was instantly wide awake , sitting up straight in pleasant surprise , her hand tightening unconsciously . " How are you feeling ? Does it still hurt ? Are you uncomfortable anywhere ? I'll call the doctor ! " As she spoke , she was about to press the call button , but Roderick gently caught her hand with his . " Don't rush , " his voice was a little hoarse from just waking up , but his tone was steady , " I'm fine , just a little hungry .

" Chapter 338 Madeleine finally relaxed a little , but she still looked him up and down worriedly , confirming that although his face was pale , he seemed to be in good spirits . As her tension eased , the scene from her dream inappropriately popped into her mind . The awkward and funny teenage Roderick under the setting sun . She looked at the mature , steady man before her , who still had a hint of a cool outline to his features , and couldn't help but let out a " pfft " of laughter . Roderick was baffled by her laughter and raised an eyebrow . " What are you laughing at ?

Is me lying in a hospital bed that funny ? " " No , no , " Madeleine quickly waved her hands , her eyes curving into crescents . " I just had a dream about high school , about the day after the SATS , and the things you said to me in front of the school tuck shop . " Roderick froze for a moment , the tips of his ears turning an almost imperceptible shade of red . He pretended to be calm and looked away . " That was so long ago , who remembers that . " Chapter 338 " Well , I remember it clearly ! " Madeleine got excited , leaned closer to him , and blinked slyly . " Were you ...

confessing your feelings to me back then ? " Roderick's body tensed almost imperceptibly . ' He didn't admit or deny it , just gave a vague " mm " sound . Seeing him like this , Madeleine became even more certain of her suspicion , laughing like a cat that got the cream : " Hahaha , I knew it ! All that stuff about the MIT cafeteria food being bad , and being afraid I'd embarrass you ... Roderick , your communication skills back then were a solid F. I didn't understand at all , I thought you came looking for me just to pick a fight!

" Listening to Madeleine's laughing accusations , Roderick sighed helplessly . He raised a hand to rub the bridge of his nose , but the corner of his mouth held a resigned , indulgent smile . He turned his head , looking at Madeleine's sparkling eyes , his tone carrying a resigned fondness and a bit of the candor that came from finally speaking up after so many years : Chapter 338 " Yeah , I was confessing . " " Too bad a certain silly girl's reception was completely shot . Not only did you not understand , you got furious and almost actually applied to MIT .

" Madeleine froze , not expecting him to admit it just like that . Even though she had already guessed , hearing him say it out loud felt different . It felt like a feather was gently tickling her heart , making it feel tender and achy . Roderick lifted the blanket beside him , " Want to come lie down for a bit ? " The hospital bed was pretty big , and Madeleine was thin , so she figured it wouldn't be a problem to lie down , nodding repeatedly . She took off her coat and gently slipped into Roderick's arms , the warmth immediately enveloping her .

Madeleine took a deep , contented breath , burying her face in the crook of his neck . Her voice was muffled , thick with emotion and lingering fear : Chapter 338 " Roderick ... you scared me to death . " Roderick stiffened slightly , then gently wrapped his arms around her back , patting it rhythmically , like he was soothing a frightened little animal . " I made you worry . " He whispered in her ear , " It won't happen again . " Madeleine thought for a moment , then tilted her chin up a bit to look at Roderick . " Actually , I went to see Edward .

" Hearing that name , Roderick's body clearly tensed up . d's in the hospital too . His condition ... it's a lot like how Mrs. Miller and I were when we awakened , so ." Madeleine thought for a moment before speaking slowly , " I have a bold guess . " " You think Edward is awakening too ? " Roderick finished her sentence . " Yeah . " Chapter 338 Madeleine nodded and sighed , " You see , Mrs. Miller's accident was like a trigger . It made me start to suspect things . Then , because of me and Mrs. Miller , you went straight to confront Edward and ended up coughing up blood .

And now Edward himself has collapsed , and his condition is so strange ... " She looked up at Roderick , her eyes filled with a searching look and a hint of uncertainty : " Does all of this mean that the so - called narrative control is becoming unstable because we're fighting back ? " And maybe ... even Edward , the protagonist , is starting to break free from its control ?
