Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 335
Chapter 335
Madeleine asked softly, “Then how do you explain that after
Roderick just questioned you a little, you ended up in the
hospital with a splitting headache?
And Roderick himself, because he came into contact with you,
the core, ended up coughing up blood and falling
unconscious?”
She chuckled softly after she finished.
“You probably don’t know this yet, but I lost my memories of the
last few years. And Zoe went crazy–that was because of you,
too.”
Edward suddenly remembered Roderick’s cold words in the
restroom, “Your good luck ends here,” and he remembered the
strange, almost splitting headache he had at that moment…
All the coincidences connected, pointing to a horrifying truth
that he couldn’t accept, yet couldn’t completely deny.
He slumped back onto the hospital bed, cold sweat forming on
his forehead, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

For the first time, Edward felt a devastating doubt about his life,
about his very existence.
If all his success and charm were just given to him, then who
was he, Edward… really?
Fiona looked at Edward’s devastated state, then at Madeleine’s
calm yet clearly exhausted face. Suddenly, that frantic
obsession she had for Edward seemed to… loosen its grip a
little.
A cold clarity, grounded in reality, began to slowly replace that
uncontrollable, fiery passion.
Madeleine looked at the two of them, knowing the seed had
been planted.
Whether they could truly awaken and break free from those
invisible bonds, well, that was up to them.
She gave one last look at Edward, who seemed to have lost all
his strength, and said softly,
“Edward, if all this is true, then you’re… actually just another
poor soul trapped in the script.”
Roderick’s test results came back, and there were no major
Chapter 335
issues.
Madeleine pulled the doctor aside and questioned him in detail
for half an hour.
When Bradley arrived, she took out all the records and gave
them to him to take a look.
“It’s nothing serious. All his vitals are normal. It’s just a stomach
bleed. Madeleine, you’re too nervous.”
Hearing Bradley say that, Madeleine gave a bitter smile.
How could I not be nervous?
Once you have someone to care about, you become vulnerable.
Roderick and Kevin were her biggest weaknesses now.
They were the ones who could easily toy with her emotions.
“So when will he wake up?”
“Soon. Just think of it as him being exhausted and needing a
good sleep.”
Madeleine nodded and thanked Bradley.
Bradley clicked his tongue. “You two seem closer when you’re
Chapter 335
teasing each other.”
She had been feeling a bit down, but with Bradley here, Madeleine felt much more relaxed.
She changed the subject and asked about Bradley and
Charlotte.
It was fine until she brought it up. The moment she did, Bradley’s face fell.
“Charlotte’s gone.”
“Gone?”
Madeleine looked confused.
Bradley nodded. “Didn’t you tell me to give her some time? To
back her into a corner so she could figure out her own feelings?
Well, now she’s gone abroad.”
Madeleine started to panic a little. After all, from what Bradley
said, Charlotte had a history of just leaving.
If she left again this time, Bradley probably wouldn’t have a
chance.
“Did I give you bad advice?”

Madeleine said in a low voice, feeling a bit awkward.
Bradley gave a bitter smile.
Bradley waved his hand, a rare look of loneliness and clarity on
his face:
“It has nothing to do with your advice. I actually know that even if Charlotte has some feelings for me, it’s nowhere near enough
for her to drop everything and not care about the
consequences.
She has too much on her mind, too many worries, and I… I’m
probably not important enough for her to break through all
that.”
He sighed and patted Madeleine’s shoulder. “Alright, don’t worry
about me. Taking care of your Roderick is what matters. That
guy looks tough as nails, but it’s pretty scary when he actually
collapses. I’m going to go check in with the attending physician
to make sure everything’s okay.”
Madeleine watched Bradley’s retreating back as he pretended
to be relaxed, and she felt a bit down herself.
When it comes to matters of the heart, it’s true that outsiders
see clearly while those involved are lost. No one can help

anyone else.
She collected herself and turned back to Roderick’s hospital
room.
The room was quiet, with only the rhythmic beeping of the
medical equipment and the sound of Roderick’s steady
breathing.
The sky outside had already darkened, and the city lights shone
through the window, casting a soft glow on his pale profile.
Madeleine sat down in the chair by the bed and carefully took
his hand, which was resting outside the blanket.
