The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 52

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 52

Her parents had often said in public that Roderick was their ideal son–in–law, while Roderick’s own parents. had openly 

stated that, given the chance, they hoped the two families could 

be joined by marriage. 

Clearly, few people believed in Roderick and Madeleine’s 

marriage. Most assumed divorce was inevitable since the two 

seemed to be living a life separately. 

Rebecca leaned closer with a mischievous grin. 

“Why don’t you just do what everyone expects? Divorce your 

wife? I don’t mind you being a divorcé.” 

Roderick knew she was joking and didn’t take it seriously. 

More than anyone, he understood that Rebecca had no feelings 

for him. Her heart belonged to someone else she had never 

been able to let go of. 

All these years, to avoid her parents‘ nagging, she had only 

pretended to pine after him. 

If anyone was a shield, he was Rebecca’s.

“Alright, enough joking. What exactly are you thinking about? 

Madeleine’s desperate to hollow out the company and hand it 

over to Edward, and you still let her come work here?” 

Roderick frowned. 

“She’s changed.” 

“Changed?” Rebecca sneered. “Changed for the worse, you 

mean? Not only out to hollow out the company, but you, too?” 

She clicked her tongue. 

“Roderick, let me remind you. You may be Chairman and CEO, 

but the company doesn’t belong solely to you. My family owns a 

sizeable stake as well!” 

Her message was clear. Whatever games he and his wife 

played in private were their business, but they could not drag the company down with them. 

“Relax. She won’t. She doesn’t have the ability.” 

“She might not, but Edward does! In just a few years, he’s 

become our biggest rival.” 

Rebecca folded her arms with disgust. “I can’t stand that man.

What on earth does your wife see in him?” 

The office chilled to freezing. 

Rebecca realized she had touched Roderick’s sorest nerve and 

coughed awkwardly. 

“I didn’t mean it like that… Don’t take it to heart. Maybe one day 

she’ll come to her senses, right?” 

She sighed dramatically. “When I first met you, how did I not 

see you were such a lovesick man? Clinging to the same 

woman for so many years, Roderick, sometimes I actually 

admire you.” 

She tutted twice. “But if Madeleine never falls for you in this 

lifetime, are you planning to chain her to you forever?” 

After a long silence, Roderick suddenly spoke, telling Rebecca 

about Madeleine’s amnesia. 

Rebecca’s eyes widened in shock. 

“Are you crazy or just stupid? You actually believe that 

nonsense?” 

Roderick pressed his lips together. He had known she wouldn’t

believe him. 

“Really, Mr. Livingston? Such a cliché? You’ve truly let love cloud 

your brain. Do you realize how serious the consequences would 

be if she’s faking it?” 

Roderick stayed silent. 

Rebecca crossed her arms, her tone grave. “If I get evidence 

that she’s a corporate spy, I won’t hesitate to send her straight 

to the police. Roderick, if you want to protect her, don’t let her 

stay in the company.” 

In the end, this was what Rebecca had wanted to say all along. 

The reason she had rushed back was that she had learned 

Madeleine had joined the company. 

She didn’t care how foolish that woman was in other matters, 

but she would never let her endanger the company. 

Roderick lifted his gaze, his deep eyes locking with Rebecca’s. 

“If she really did such a thing, I’ll bear all the consequences.” 

“You’ll bear it?” 

Rebecca shot to her feet in fury. 

Chapter 52 

He must have lost his mind. 

“Fine, fine. I’ll wait for you to take responsibility. Best case, you leave the company, and I take your place.” 

Throwing the words over her shoulder, Rebecca stormed out. 

If he insisted on trusting Madeleine, then she’d personally test 

and expose that woman’s true colors and finally kick her out for 

good. 

Not far away, a few secretaries held their breath. Only when 

Rebecca slammed the door behind her did they dare whisper 

together. 

Though they hadn’t caught the details, it was obvious the fight 

had something to do with Mrs. Livingston. 

“I knew it! Ms. Whitman must be mad at Mrs. Livingston.” 

“I’m with Ms. Whitman. Sure, she’s strict, but she’s strong, and 

with Mr. Livingston, they’re the perfect power duo. I actually ship them.” 

“Eh, I still think Mr. Livingston and his wife are the better match. 

A handsome man and a beautiful woman. What a sight.” 

Chapter 52 

“Forget it. Her heart is already set on another man…”

Madeleine went home and headed straight to the dance room. 

She buried herself in practice, running the steps again and 

again, forcing herself to ignore the messy thoughts in her head. 

Ever since overhearing the secretaries‘ conversation, she had 

started to wonder if working at the company had been a 

mistake.
