The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 66

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 66

Chapter 66 

She shoved Edward away, stumbling back two steps until her 

back hit the cold wall. 

“Enough!” 

Her voice trembled, the bangs on her forehead already soaked 

with cold sweat. “Edward, don’t be so full of your…” 

Before she could finish, the sound of hurried footsteps 

approached. 

Roderick strode closer, holding Kevin. The moment he saw the 

two of them, his steps came to an abrupt halt. 

The air seemed to freeze. 

Madeleine saw Roderick’s gaze suddenly turn cold. The eyes 

that always looked at her with such tenderness were now like 

ice. 

She opened her mouth to explain but found her throat was too 

dry to make a sound. 

“Daddy,” Kevin suddenly spoke, his small hand clutching 

Chapter 66 

Roderick’s collar. “It’s Mommy…” 

The child’s innocent voice broke the dead silence. 

Roderick closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had regained his composure. 

He strode forward and pulled Madeleine behind him with one arm, his movement assertive yet gentle. 

“Are you okay?” 

he asked in a low voice, his fingertips gently brushing against 

Madeleine’s cold wrist. 

Madeleine shook her head, subconsciously grabbing his sleeve. 

She could feel Roderick’s body was tense, like a fully drawn 

bow, yet he was still restraining himself from lashing out right 

there. 

When did he get here? Did he see everything? 

Does this mean he doesn’t believe me? 

Madeleine’s mind was clogged with questions, but the words 

just wouldn’t come out. 

Chapter 66 

Edward saw Roderick’s murderous glare and raised his hands in 

a shrug. 

“Mr. Livingston, your wife was the one who threw herself at me. 

If you don’t believe me, there should be security cameras here.” 

“You’re right, Mr. Carroll.” 

Roderick gritted his teeth. “There are cameras here. I’ll be sure 

to investigate thoroughly how Mr. Carroll just so happened to enter this haunted house at the same time as my family.” 

Roderick’s low words helped Madeleine collect her thoughts. 

That’s right, why was Edward here? And how could he have 

shown up in the haunted house with them so coincidentally? 

This doesn’t make sense! 

“Are you following me?” 

Edward scoffed. “Me, follow you? 

What a joke.” 

That’s what he said, but in the dim light, his expression was 

visibly ugly. 

Chapter 66 

Edward thought this was insane. Her eyes couldn’t lie, and he 

could clearly see there was no love in her gaze as she looked at 

him. 

But he didn’t believe someone could change so quickly. 

She’s faking it. 

He was sure of it. 

Her desperate struggle to get out of his arms just now was 

probably because Roderick had shown up. 

If Roderick wasn’t here, if it was just the two of them… 

Edward’s heart tightened. He realized something was off with 

him today. He used to get annoyed every time he saw her, so 

what was wrong now? 

Looking at her fair skin and delicate features, he was surprised 

to feel a flicker of anticipation about being with her again. 

He was interested in Madeleine? 

No way. What a joke! 

Edward felt irritated. He knew he shouldn’t have come. He 

tugged at his tie, ready to leave. 

Chapter 66 

He turned to leave, but then whipped back around and mouthed 

to Madeleine, “Nice act.” 

Madeleine was trembling with anger when she felt Roderick’s 

warm hand on the small of her back, steadily supporting her. 

Roderick’s icy gaze met Edward’s, and a murderous intent 

flared in both their eyes. 

The haunted house, already blasting the AC, felt even colder 

now. 

“Can you walk?” 

Roderick asked in a low voice, and the concern in his eyes 

made Madeleine’s nose sting. 

She nodded, and Roderick started walking out, holding his son 

with one arm and shielding her with the other. 

His broad, straight back completely separated her from Edward, 

like an unbreakable barrier. 

As they stepped out of the haunted house, the night breeze hit 

her face, and Madeleine realized her back was soaked with 

sweat. 

Chapter 66 

Kevin leaned out from his father’s arms, his small hand gently 

wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. “Don’t be scared, 

Mommy. Kev will protect you.” 

Roderick silently watched the distant Ferris wheel, the colored 

lights reflecting on his chiseled profile. 

After a long moment, he finally spoke, “Do you want to head 

back?” 

Madeleine knew he was giving her a choice: continue their date 

or end this awful night. 

She took a deep breath and reached for Roderick’s hand. “The 

fireworks are about to start. Let’s go watch.” 

Roderick’s fingers twitched, then he gripped her hand tightly in 

return. 

His palm was warm and dry, enveloping Madeleine’s small 

hand. 

“Okay.” 

he said softly, his thumb gently stroking the back of her hand. 

Dazzling fireworks exploded overhead. Everyone looked up,

smiling, their faces filled with wonder. 

But neither Madeleine nor Roderick was really watching them. 

Roderick turned his head, his gaze landing on Madeleine.
