Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 317

“It’s nothing, Dad. How’s Mrs. Miller?”

“You two should go in. Mrs. Miller said she wants to talk to

you.”

Madeleine’s heart sank. She knew Mrs. Miller was definitely

going to talk to her about Edward.

She quickly changed into sterile scrubs with Roderick and went

inside.

In the hospital bed, Mrs. Miller still looked pale, but she managed to force a smile when she saw Roderick and

Madeleine walk in.

“Mrs. Miller.”

Madeleine hurried over, crouching by the hospital bed and

gently taking Mrs. Miller’s hand.

“Mrs. Miller, how are you feeling?”

Madeleine’s voice was thick with a worry and a sob she couldn’t

hide.

Mrs. Miller gave a weak smile and gently patted the back of her

hand.

“Much better, don’t worry. The doctor said I’ll be fine after some

observation. I just… I must have scared you, didn’t I?”

Her gaze swept lovingly over Roderick and Madeleine, full of

reassurance.

Roderick shook his head, his voice low, “As long as you’re okay.”

Mrs. Miller sighed, a flicker of lingering fear and confusion in

her eyes. She looked at Madeleine, hesitating to speak.

Madeleine understood immediately. She squeezed Mrs. Miller’s

hand and glanced at Roderick.

“It’s okay, Mrs. Miller. You can tell us what you saw, or what

happened. Roderick… he knows everything. About Edward,

about… some of my things.”

Mrs. Miller looked at Madeleine in surprise, then turned to

Roderick.

Only after Roderick gave a solemn nod did she seem to breathe

a sigh of relief, but then her face turned even paler, as if

recalling something terrifying.

She took a deep breath, trying to find the right words, her eyes

filled with confusion and fear.

“Actually… I don’t really know what happened.

At the time, Owen had gone to buy me some water, and I was

just standing there waiting for him.”

“Then it was like… I saw a figure, very familiar… It was Edward.”

At the mention of the name, Mrs. Miller’s voice trembled. “I

don’t know why he was there, but the moment I saw him, I felt…..

I felt something was very wrong.”

Her breathing grew a little ragged, and Roderick gently rubbed

her back.

“I… my body, it was like it suddenly wasn’t my own anymore.”

Mrs. Miller’s voice was filled with incredulous terror. “It was as

if some force was pushing me, controlling me, making me walk

towards him!

In my heart, I was terrified. I didn’t want to go near him at all, but my legs… they were moving on their own!”

Madeleine’s heart sank, her nails digging into her palm.

This feeling, she knew it all too well.

It was the feeling of being forcibly controlled by the “narrative

control” or a “predetermined role“!

Mrs. Miller’s eyes reddened, filled with the relief and lingering

fear of having survived.

“I desperately tried to regain control of my body. I was

screaming in my mind, ‘Stop, stop!‘… I don’t know where the

strength came from, but it felt like… like I broke free for a

moment. I turned and tried to run back…”

She paused, trying hard to remember.

“I think… I managed to force myself back to where I was

standing, a little farther from him. I thought I had succeeded,

but then, a sharp pain shot through my stomach, everything

went black, and I don’t remember anything after that…”

After saying all this, Mrs. Miller seemed to have exhausted all

her strength. She closed her eyes wearily, a tear rolling down

from the corner of her eye.

The hospital room fell into a dead silence.

Madeleine felt a chill run through her, as if she’d been plunged
