Waking up with my nemesis baby novel Chapter 333

hapter 333

She took a deep breath, wiped her tears, her gaze becoming incredibly firm.

No matter what she had to face, no matter how powerful the

so–called “narrative control” was, she would not back down.

Since Roderick dared to defy fate for them, she would also fight

with everything she had to protect him and their home.

With that thought, Madeleine slowly stood up and walked

toward Edward’s hospital room.

The only sound in the hospital room was the beeping of the

machines.

Fiona sat by the bed, looking down at Edward, and that dense,

suffocating feeling surfaced once again.

She gave a bitter smile.

Just as she thought, no matter when, the moment she saw

Edward, she would inevitably fall for him.

Even though she had already seen through him, this man would

never give her the love she wanted.

Wasn’t what she wanted a pure love, like what Roderick had for

Madeleine–unreserved, without the power dynamic of a

superior to a subordinate?

These were things Edward clearly couldn’t give her.

Tears welled up for some reason, and Fiona raised a trembling hand to wipe them away.

“You… you’re crying?”

Edward had woken up at some point, looking at her weakly, his

voice a bit hoarse.

Fiona was startled by the sudden voice, quickly turning her face

away to wipe the tears. When she turned back, she had forced a

smile as if nothing was wrong.

“You’re awake?

How are you feeling?

Does anywhere else hurt?”

She avoided his question, her tone deliberately distant and

polite.

Edward didn’t answer, just looked at her deeply. Those eyes

that had once captivated her, though weak now, still held an

indescribable pull, as if they could see right into her heart.

“Were you crying for me?”

His voice was low, with a hint of uncertainty, and a trace of…

perhaps it was her imagination, softness.

Fiona’s heart leaped, as if it had been scalded by something.

She denied it instinctively, “No, you saw wrong.

It’s… it’s just that my eyes were bothering me a moment ago.”

She stood up, wanting to get him a glass of water to escape his

overly focused gaze.

“Fiona.”

But he called out to her softly. The name, coming from his lips,

carried a long–lost intimacy that made her heart ache.

Fiona’s steps faltered. With her back to him, she secretly dug

her nails into her palm.

“I know… I might have done some things wrong lately.”

Edward’s voice was tired and held a rare confusion. “A lot of

things… seem to have gone wrong.

But seeing you here, I feel… a little more at ease.”

His words were like a feather, lightly scratching at the emotional

walls Fiona had worked so hard to build.

See, this is how it is. He could always, with just a few casual

words, make her hard–won determination waver.

She took a deep breath and turned around, her face having

regained its usual composure, even holding a faint hint of

sarcasm:

“You’re joking, Mr. Carroll. You’re just unwell. Abraham notified

me, and I came to check on you out of courtesy.

You should get some rest. The doctor said you need to

recuperate in peace.”

She placed the glass of water on the nightstand, her

movements crisp and efficient, and didn’t look at him again.

“If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you.”

After saying that, she picked up her bag and turned to leave.

She was afraid that if she stayed a second longer, she would be

drowned again by that damned, uncontrollable emotion.

“Don’t go!”

Edward suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

His grip wasn’t strong, it was even a little weak, but the cold

touch and the sudden movement still made Fiona freeze.

“Stay with me for a little while… just a little while.”
