waking up with my nemesis' baby novel

Chapter 35 Madeleine took Kevin's hand , then turned and called Roderick . Only when she directed her attention his way did the motionless man finally stand . Madeleine thought to herself , " He only moved when given a direct command . " In the car , Kevin clung to his mother's hand , refusing to let go even as his palm grew damp . His eyes sparkled with unconcealed excitement . He could hardly believe his mom was taking him to kindergarten ! He'd show all those kids who said he had no mother . He not only had a mother , but she was also as beautiful as Snow White .

The car soon stopped outside the kindergarten . Rosebud Kindergarten , which Kevin attended , was the most Chapter 35 prestigious in Valenburg , renowned not just for its location and facilities but for its exceptional educational resources . Several teachers of various nationalities stood at the gate , greeting the children . Madeleine was impressed . She thought she'd had a privileged upbringing . Now she realized her perspective had been limited . Or rather , her imagination had been constrained by a simpler life .

" Go by yourself , " Roderick said firmly , stopping Madeleine from exiting . " Your mother needs to get to the hospital . " " Ah ... " Kevin looked up , clear disappointment in his eyes . He'd planned the whole trip to linger at the gate with his mother so all his friends could see . He bit his lip , one hand still on the car door , reluctant . " Be good , sweetie . I'll walk you all the way to the gate tomorrow , Chapter 35 I promise . " " Okay . " Kevin nodded . He was a reasonable boy . He understood his father was right . His mother needed to get to the hospital quickly .

Besides , they had pinky - sworn yesterday . She would take him to school every day . " Well , bye , Mommy . " " Bye , Kev . " After getting out , Kevin remembered he hadn't said goodbye to Roderick . His previously warm tone cooled noticeably . " Bye , Daddy . " " Mm . " Roderick noted the difference but didn't take offense . Madeleine gave birth to the child . He had no reason to compete for the boy's affection . They watched Kevin enter the kindergarten before Roderick Chingiter 35 directed the driver to Rivermont General Hospital . During the drive , Roderick opened his laptop to work .

He appeared busy , his brow furrowed in clear agitation . Madeleine stole glances at him from the corner of her eye . If the boy from eight years ago could see this now , he'd never believe this stern , imposing CEO was himself . The current Roderick was handsome , certainly , but he lacked a certain human warmth . The old Roderick had been irritating , but he was always eager to talk to her , their conversations endless and wildly imaginative . But now , he only spoke when necessary , his face perpetually stern . Madeleine rubbed her chin .

So it was true that men matured overnight once they had a family and children . They arrived at the hospital . Roderick led Madeleine to the neurology department on the third floor of the outpatient building . Chapter 35 Still mentally a teenager , Madeleine instinctively adopted a respectful demeanor upon seeing the doctor . But when she clearly saw the man in the white coat , her respect morphed into pure shock . Her mouth fell open , no sound emerging for a long moment . " B - Bradley !? " Bradley Kline's lips curved into his signature , mischievous childhood grin . " Stuttering ?

Stuttering isn't really our department's area . " Madeleine stared at Bradley , then turned to look at Roderick . " Don't tell me that dropout who failed every test became a doctor !? " Roderick pressed his lips together and nodded . " Yes . " " You must be joking ! " Madeleine clutched her head . " Is the medical field that desperate now ? Can just anyone become a doctor ? And a neurologist ? Treating brains ? Isn't that ironic that someone with mental issues is treating brains ?! " Bradley's face instantly clouded over .

Chapter 35 The intern beside him drew a sharp breath and hurriedly interjected , " Dr. Kline is a highly skilled physician , ma'am . You needn't worry . " Madeleine felt dizzy . Bradley , her classmate from junior high to freshman year , was the infamous class troublemaker . He rode on his family's influence at the school , ignoring every rule because the staff never dared to discipline him properly . Skipping school , using his phone in class , getting into fights , handing in blank tests , dating early , he broke every rule in the book .

Back then , Madeleine was the perfect student who wouldn't be caught dead with someone like him . Roderick , however , had always been friendly with Bradley . Madeleine used to whisper that they were cut from the same cloth , though Roderick at least feared his father enough to rein it in . Now this same reckless slacker had somehow become a doctor at Valenburg's top hospital . Chapter 35 This felt less like amnesia or time travel to Madeleine . It felt like a bizarre dream . The world had truly gone mad .

Bradley's intern rushed to his defense , pulling out a phone to show Madeleine his credentials and medical publications . Seeing her reaction , Bradley pieced it together and drew Roderick aside .
