Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103

The moment she heard that, Madeleine felt her whole body

tense up, as if her blood had frozen solid.

Rebecca’s voice was perfectly calm. “Madeleine, I don’t know

what you’ve discovered, or what connection you’re trying to find

between your amnesia and Zoe going insane, but I just want to

warn you.”

Madeleine’s heart leaped into her throat.

“Stay away from Edward. Go back to being your old,

unreasonable self.”

After hanging up, Madeleine leaned against the car, feeling

even colder.

Her mind was a tangled mess, but she struggled to pull a single

thread of thought from the chaos.

Zoe has gone crazy. Is it a side effect of her awakening?

She fell madly in love with Edward because she gave him his

first pot of gold to start his business and provided him with

information.

Then Zoe…

Madeleine’s eyelid twitched.

“Shaping the Persona…”

Madeleine mumbled the words, a shiver running through her.

If that’s the case, it all makes sense.

The result of that construction accident back then… the vice

president went to jail, Edward played the righteous hero by

punishing the real culprit, and he privately compensated the

victims‘ families…

It was all too perfect, like a performance.

And Zoe was the most crucial supporting character in this

performance.

She came seeking revenge, only to break down after

discovering the “truth.”

This was the perfect proof of Edward’s “integrity.”

A man who could even win over his avenger–who would ever

doubt his character?

Chapter 103

“Heh…”

Madeleine let out a low laugh, but her eyes were ice–cold.

Right. If she were the author, she wouldn’t have made the main

character a completely worthless, ungrateful bastard either.

She would definitely go to great lengths to perfect the main

character’s Persona.

But why should innocent supporting characters like them have

to suffer just to build up the main character’s perfect Persona?

Zoe must have realized this too. She suddenly awakened, and

that’s why she lost her mind.

Madeleine’s heart was pounding. She saw Roderick, who had

just dropped Bradley off, walking towards her, and she felt

incredibly nervous.

No.

I can’t tell Roderick any of this.

At least not before I can verify it. If Roderick gets hit with the

“side effects,” whether it’s amnesia or going crazy, she couldn’t

accept it.

Chapter 103

Roderick deserved to have his own perfect life.

“What’s wrong?

Why are you looking at me like that?”

Roderick walked over with a smile, wiping his hands with a wet

wipe. He said with disgust, “Doctors… Bradley’s place reeks of

disinfectant.”

Madeleine looked at him, a mix of complex emotions flashing

through her. She temporarily buried her thoughts and forced a

smile.

“As long as he’s home, that’s what matters. Let’s go home.”

“Okay.”

Roderick nodded, thinking she was just tired.

“Home, and to bed.”

When the two arrived home, Roy came over and said Kevin was

already asleep.

Madeleine quietly opened the door to the kid’s room and went in to check. The little guy was sleeping peacefully, his breathing. long and even, and he was clutching a stuffed toy tightly in his

hand.

Madeleine looked at him and smiled.

She had bought the toy for Kev the other day. All the toys in this

kid’s room were either Legos or puzzles; he didn’t even have a

doll to hug while he slept.

When she complained to Roderick about it, Roderick had said

that Kevin didn’t like them.

Tch, what do you mean he doesn’t like them? Isn’t he hugging

this one happily?

When she came out, she saw the light in Roderick’s study was

still on, and she frowned.

“Don’t tell me he’s hiding in the study drinking again…”

She tiptoed to the door, bent down, and listened for a moment.

It seemed quiet inside.

“What are you doing?”

Someone suddenly spoke from behind her, and Madeleine

jumped.

She turned her head and glared at Roderick.

“You’re like a ghost, you don’t make a sound when you walk.”

Roderick felt a little wronged; it was clearly her who was too

focused on eavesdropping outside the door.

Madeleine touched her nose sheepishly. “It’s so late, what are

you still going to the study for?”

“Gerry just sent over a few files. I’ll handle them and then go to

sleep.”

“Gerry is such a grinder, still working after hours.”

After saying that, she pursed her lips and glanced at Roderick.

“Or is it that you, the boss, are too much of a Scrooge, look how

you’re pushing him.”

Roderick was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he finally argued, “Gerry’s annual income is similar

to a senior executive at a major corporation, and he also has

stock options in a subsidiary. While his work hours are longer

than a regular employee’s, the benefits and compensation are

not something others can match.”
