Chapter 335\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine asked softly, \u201cThen how do you explain that after\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick just questioned you a little, you ended up in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
hospital with a splitting headache?\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Roderick himself, because he came into contact with you,\u00a0<\/p>\n
the core, ended up coughing up blood and falling\u00a0<\/p>\n
unconscious?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She chuckled softly after she finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou probably don\u2019t know this yet, but I lost my memories of the\u00a0<\/p>\n
last few years. And Zoe went crazy\u2013that was because of you,\u00a0<\/p>\n
too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Edward suddenly remembered Roderick\u2019s cold words in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
restroom, \u201cYour good luck ends here,\u201d and he remembered the\u00a0<\/p>\n
strange, almost splitting headache he had at that moment\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
All the coincidences connected, pointing to a horrifying truth\u00a0<\/p>\n
that he couldn\u2019t accept, yet couldn\u2019t completely deny.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He slumped back onto the hospital bed, cold sweat forming on\u00a0<\/p>\n
his forehead, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 335\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the first time, Edward felt a devastating doubt about his life,\u00a0<\/p>\n
about his very existence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If all his success and charm were just given to him, then who\u00a0<\/p>\n
was he, Edward\u2026 really?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fiona looked at Edward\u2019s devastated state, then at Madeleine\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n
calm yet clearly exhausted face. Suddenly, that frantic\u00a0<\/p>\n
obsession she had for Edward seemed to\u2026 loosen its grip a\u00a0<\/p>\n
little.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A cold clarity, grounded in reality, began to slowly replace that\u00a0<\/p>\n
uncontrollable, fiery passion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine looked at the two of them, knowing the seed had\u00a0<\/p>\n
been planted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Whether they could truly awaken and break free from those\u00a0<\/p>\n
invisible bonds, well, that was up to them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gave one last look at Edward, who seemed to have lost all\u00a0<\/p>\n
his strength, and said softly,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEdward, if all this is true, then you\u2019re\u2026 actually just another\u00a0<\/p>\n
poor soul trapped in the script.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick\u2019s test results came back, and there were no major\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 335\u00a0<\/p>\n
issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine pulled the doctor aside and questioned him in detail\u00a0<\/p>\n
for half an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Bradley arrived, she took out all the records and gave\u00a0<\/p>\n
them to him to take a look.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nothing serious. All his vitals are normal. It\u2019s just a stomach\u00a0<\/p>\n
bleed. Madeleine, you\u2019re too nervous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing Bradley say that, Madeleine gave a bitter smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could I not be nervous?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once you have someone to care about, you become vulnerable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Roderick and Kevin were her biggest weaknesses now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They were the ones who could easily toy with her emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo when will he wake up?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSoon. Just think of it as him being exhausted and needing a\u00a0<\/p>\n
good sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine nodded and thanked Bradley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley clicked his tongue. \u201cYou two seem closer when you\u2019re\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 335\u00a0<\/p>\n
teasing each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had been feeling a bit down, but with Bradley here, Madeleine felt much more relaxed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She changed the subject and asked about Bradley and\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was fine until she brought it up. The moment she did, Bradley\u2019s face fell.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCharlotte\u2019s gone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine looked confused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley nodded. \u201cDidn\u2019t you tell me to give her some time? To\u00a0<\/p>\n
back her into a corner so she could figure out her own feelings?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Well, now she\u2019s gone abroad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine started to panic a little. After all, from what Bradley\u00a0<\/p>\n
said, Charlotte had a history of just leaving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she left again this time, Bradley probably wouldn\u2019t have a\u00a0<\/p>\n
chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid I give you bad advice?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 335\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine said in a low voice, feeling a bit awkward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley gave a bitter smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bradley waved his hand, a rare look of loneliness and clarity on\u00a0<\/p>\n
his face:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has nothing to do with your advice. I actually know that even if Charlotte has some feelings for me, it\u2019s nowhere near enough\u00a0<\/p>\n
for her to drop everything and not care about the\u00a0<\/p>\n
consequences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She has too much on her mind, too many worries, and I\u2026 I\u2019m\u00a0<\/p>\n
probably not important enough for her to break through all\u00a0<\/p>\n
that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sighed and patted Madeleine\u2019s shoulder. \u201cAlright, don\u2019t worry\u00a0<\/p>\n
about me. Taking care of your Roderick is what matters. That\u00a0<\/p>\n
guy looks tough as nails, but it\u2019s pretty scary when he actually\u00a0<\/p>\n
collapses. I\u2019m going to go check in with the attending physician\u00a0<\/p>\n
to make sure everything\u2019s okay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine watched Bradley\u2019s retreating back as he pretended\u00a0<\/p>\n
to be relaxed, and she felt a bit down herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When it comes to matters of the heart, it\u2019s true that outsiders\u00a0<\/p>\n
see clearly while those involved are lost. No one can help\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 335\u00a0<\/p>\n
anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She collected herself and turned back to Roderick\u2019s hospital\u00a0<\/p>\n
room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was quiet, with only the rhythmic beeping of the\u00a0<\/p>\n
medical equipment and the sound of Roderick\u2019s steady\u00a0<\/p>\n
breathing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sky outside had already darkened, and the city lights shone\u00a0<\/p>\n
through the window, casting a soft glow on his pale profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeleine sat down in the chair by the bed and carefully took\u00a0<\/p>\n
his hand, which was resting outside the blanket.\u00a0<\/p>\n
