Chapter 281
Only then did Madeleine vaguely remember her promise, but
right now, she didn’t want to leave this warm embrace at all.
She shook her head gently, burying her face in the crook of his
neck.
Roderick chuckled lowly, holding her even tighter.
“Looks like I won.”
His kisses fell again, this time deeper, more passionate.
Madeleine responded, her fingers tangling in his hair, feeling
the soft strands slip through them.
As the night deepened, the only sounds in the room were their
intertwined breaths and the occasional soft noise that escaped.
Madeleine had long since forgotten her earlier promise. Right
now, she only wanted to sink into this warm ocean, rising and
falling with his rhythm.
Roderick’s movements were always gentle and restrained,
every touch just right, purposeful without making her feel the

slightest bit uncomfortable.
He knew all her sensitive spots, how to make her relax, how to
bring her pleasure.
When the final moment came, Madeleine held him tightly,
burying her face in his shoulder.
Roderick lightly kissed her forehead, whispering soothingly until
she slowly calmed down.

Afterward, the two lay in each other’s arms.
Madeleine rested in his arms, her body so limp she didn’t even
have the strength to lift a hand.
“What time is it?”
She asked softly, her voice still tinged with languor.
Roderick glanced at the clock on the nightstand. “It’s still early.
Our son is sound asleep.”
Madeleine sighed softly. “I promised I’d be with him.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”
He bent down, kissed Madeleine’s cheek, and carried her to the

bathroom to clean up.
Madeleine was so exhausted she ended up falling asleep on his
shoulder.
Roderick felt a bit helpless as he carefully carried her to the
child’s room.
Kevin was still fast asleep, contentedly hugging a doll, probably
mistaking it for his mother.
Roderick took the doll away and placed Madeleine beside him.
“You little rascal.”
He murmured, stroking his son’s cheek, a smile tugging at his
lips.
The next day, at the hospital.
Bradley had been in surgery all night and on duty until early
morning; the sun was already out when he got off work.
His work was half the reason he could suppress his emotional
pain.

Sometimes he really felt that being a doctor was an inhuman job.
But after pulling a patient back from the brink of death, Bradley felt that being an inhuman doctor was pretty good too.
After changing out of his white coat, he took his phone from his locker, and upon unlocking it, thought he was seeing things.
Charlotte had actually sent him a message!
But when he tapped on it, Bradley frowned in confusion.
Where was the message?
Why was it retracted?
Several of them, too
The exhaustion from a sleepless night seemed to vanish in an
instant. He glanced at the time; the message had been sent in
the middle of last night.
He held his phone, his expression grim as he started typing.
?
What did you send? Why did you delete it?

What did you send?
Charlotte, answer me!
Just then, a few of Bradley’s interns came in to submit their
reports, but froze at the door when they saw his grim
expression, too scared to enter.
“What’s wrong? Is Dr. Kline not in?”
“He is, but Dr. Kline must have a really tough patient. Look at
him, he looks awful.”
“My god, a patient even Dr. Kline finds tough… they must be at
the gates of Hell…”
At that moment, the one at the gates of Hell was probably
Bradley.
With no reply from Charlotte and his calls not going through,
Bradley pressed his brow, a heavy feeling in his chest.
