The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 51

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 51

Chapter 51 

Madeleine wanted to pinch the bridge of her own nose. 

Now she finally understood why her father’s company had 

collapsed. 

With a love–struck daughter like her, how could it not? 

If that was the case, the way the four girls treated her all made 

sense. 

After all, according to Gerry’s words earlier, the four handled the 

company’s most critical files. 

“I see.” 

Madeleine nodded, her face dimming, her voice muffled. 

“Go on with your work. I won’t bother you.” 

She turned back to her own desk. 

The secretaries exchanged looks, not daring to make a sound. 

Madeleine stared in the direction of Roderick’s office, a strange 

Chapter 51 

feeling stirring in her heart. 

Roderick clearly knew about her disgraceful actions in the past. 

So why had he still allowed her to come work here? 

Was it trust, or was he setting a trap, waiting for her to take the 

bait? 

She passed the afternoon in questions. 

Fortunately, Gerry came by and gave her some filing tasks. 

It wasn’t difficult, and with Madeleine’s quick–witted nature, she 

got the hang of it in no time. 

The Livingston Group strictly followed a nine–to–six working 

schedule. Employees got off work at six, but those who stayed 

until eight received overtime pay, dinner reimbursement, and 

cab fare. 

When Madeleine left, more than half the staff were still 

working. The moment she stepped out, the tense secretaries 

finally relaxed. 

“Ugh, life’s unfair. I wish I could treat work like Mrs. Livingston, 

as just a pastime.”

“Forget it, we’re just wage slaves.” 

“But don’t you think Mrs. Livingston isn’t as unreasonable as 

people say? She seems pretty easygoing.” 

“Yeah… I’m even starting to doubt those rumors that she 

stormed in last time and fought with Mr. Livingston.” 

The four whispered among themselves, unaware of the figure 

approaching from behind. 

Suddenly, a stern female voice rang out. 

“You’re staying late to gossip?” 

All four jumped, scrambling to their feet. 

“Good evening, Ms. Whitman.” 

The woman before them wore a Chanel couture suit. It was low- 

key luxury, matched with elegant jewelry, exuding sophistication 

from head to toe. 

She was the daughter of a major shareholder and the company’s Chief Operating Officer, overseeing overall 

operations and business management. Aside from Roderick, she was the only one with authority over the group’s finances. 

Chapter 51 

But hadn’t Ms. Whitman been away on a business trip? Why 

was she suddenly back? 

Rebecca Whitman’s face was stern, her gaze landing on the 

empty desk where Madeleine had been. 

Catching on, Teresa quickly said, “Mrs. Livingston has already 

left for the day.” 

Rebecca gave a sharp, cold snort. 

“So she really did come here just to idle away her time.” 

Her eyes narrowed, her voice dropping icily. “You’re holding the 

company’s most important files. Keep your eyes wide open. If I 

find out anything leaks from your hands, none of you will keep 

your jobs.” 

The warning made all four secretaries flinch. They hurried to 

nod frantically. 

With that, Rebecca turned and strode toward Roderick’s office. 

She had told Roderick that she would come to report to him 

right after her trip. When she saw Roderick still waiting for her, 

she arched a satisfied brow.

“I thought you’d have gone home early with your wife.” 

Her words were sharp and mean, carrying a sense of hostility. 

Roderick closed the file in front of him, pretending not to notice 

the sarcasm. 

“You said you had a report. Go on.” 

“No rush. I’ve made a written version and sent it to your email.” 

Rebecca pulled out the chair opposite him, narrowed her eyes, and leaned forward suddenly. 

“My father knows an astrologer. I think he’s good. Want me to 

introduce him to you?” 

“What?” 

“You act like you’re possessed. You know perfectly well your 

wife betrays you, yet you let her come into the company. I 

swear something’s taken over you.” 

Roderick’s face darkened, his eyes narrowing at her. 

“Fine. Then maybe I should sit down with your father and chat 

about all of your little secrets.” 

Chapter 51 

Rebecca’s face froze. 

She had almost forgotten that Roderick knew every single one 

of them. 

She leaned back in her chair, lips curled in a mocking smile. 

“Come on, that’s not fair. All these years, while your wife 

ignored you, wasn’t I the one blocking all those women outside 

for you? Even covering for you with your parents?” 

Rebecca’s lips curved faintly, but she didn’t continue. 

Rumors had long swirled outside about a rift in the Livingston 

marriage. That included not only whispers of Mrs. Livingston’s 

infidelity, but also of Mr. Livingston’s questionable relationship 

with a board member’s daughter. 

Even within the company, many gossiped that Roderick had a 

special connection with Rebecca. 

It wasn’t entirely surprising. Rebecca was capable and sharp, 

Roderick’s deputy.
