Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 175

Madeleine just remembered. Oh, right, she was here on a

mission today.

Her mom, the matchmaker, would definitely be asking about it

later.

“Why wouldn’t it work out?”

Madeleine pushed aside the plant and peeked over again.

“They look like they’re getting along just fine.”

After Charlotte left, Isabella and Bradley continued talking as if

nothing had happened. Isabella would grin from time to time,

showing her canine teeth as she smiled.

And looking at Bradley across from her, he also looked relaxed, as if he hadn’t been affected by Charlotte’s appearance at all.

“Listen carefully to what they’re talking about.”

Madeleine perked up her ears, trying hard to catch their

conversation.

Chapter 175

“Speaking of which, my professor had a really interesting case

last week. A rare alkaloid was found in the deceased’s stomach

contents, but the toxicology screen didn’t show any

corresponding toxin.”

Bradley frowned. “Alkaloid structures are unstable. It might

have degraded during metabolism. When you did the pathology

slides, did you find any crystal deposits in the liver?”

“We did!

The liver sinusoids were full of needle–like crystals, like it was

snowing. But my professor said it was preservative residue…”

Bradley chuckled. “What a coincidence. I heard from a

colleague in internal medicine that the ER admitted a patient

the day before yesterday. Their urine test showed similar

crystals, and it turned out they’d taken some kind of diet pill…”

Madeleine pulled back, a speechless look on her face.

“What kind of normal person talks about this stuff on a blind

date?”

Rebecca had an I–told–you–so look on her face and chuckled. “When those two talk about human bodies and corpses, they

get more excited than anyone. There’s absolutely no desire for

Chapter 175

the opposite sex in their eyes.”

“True.”

Madeleine sighed. “Then I’ll just tell my mom they didn’t hit it

off.”

“Don’t. If you say that now, your auntie might just try even

harder, believe it or not.”

Madeleine stared at Rebecca for a moment, then a knowing

smile spread across her face. “I knew it, Rebecca! You’ve

definitely suffered through blind dates before!”

Rebecca looked like she was about to roll her eyes into the back

of her head again.

Hitting me right where it hurts.

“You think everyone’s as lucky as you, finding true love so early

and avoiding all this trouble.”

Even though it was a complaining tone, why did it sound so

sweet to Madeleine?

She lowered her head with a shy smile, her little dimples

appearing, and the sight made even Rebecca’s heart soften.

Chapter 175

Before, she thought Roderick must have been crazy to fall for

her.

Now, she felt that Roderick, that lucky guy, had really lucked

out.

After dinner, Bradley and Isabella made plans to go see the

mummy museum.

“Still following them, Reporter Madeleine?”

Rebecca asked Madeleine, tilting her chin up.

“Nope, not following.”

“What, scared of mummies?”

Madeleine pouted. “What’s there to be scared of? I have other

things to do.”

Her time was precious now. Of course she didn’t go out just to

watch the drama unfold and get some gossip.

Madeleine turned her phone around and showed it to Rebecca.

“Rebecca, do you know Hengrong International Plaza?”

“Yeah, it’s the best value for an office building. It’s close to

Chapter 175

downtown, and the price is a lot lower than downtown.”

After saying that, Rebecca seemed to figure something out and

looked up at Madeleine.

“Roderick told me you were starting a business. Are you looking

to rent a place now?”

Madeleine grinned and nodded. “I’ve looked at a bunch of

places, and Heng Rong is the best fit. They still have two floors

available to lease.”
