The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 67

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 67

Chapter 67 

The fireworks reflected in her eyes, flickering between light and 

shadow, just like his heart at that moment. 

He’d seen everything that just happened. He could tell 

Madeleine was rejecting Edward. 

It was because Madeleine had lost her memories of falling for 

Edward over the past few years. 

Her rejection of Edward now was real, but her infatuation with 

him before she lost her memory was also real. 

If one day she gets her memory back… 

Roderick didn’t dare to think about it, his fingers tightening 

unconsciously. 

“Ah…” 

Madeleine winced and looked down. Only then did Roderick 

instinctively loosen his grip; he’d forgotten their fingers were 

intertwined. 

“Daddy, you hurt Mommy.” 

Chapter 67 

Kevin scolded his dad, grabbing Madeleine’s hand and blowing 

on it gently. 

“I’ll kiss it better, Mommy, so it doesn’t hurt. I’ll blow on it for 

you.” 

“It’s okay, Kev, Mommy’s not hurt.” 

After Madeleine spoke, her gaze quickly swept over Roderick. 

The fireworks changed patterns again, and gasps of awe rose from the crowd. The two of them acted as if nothing had 

happened and looked up. 

Roderick’s mind stirred. She had taken his hand on her own just 

now. 

Now that she’d let go, would she refuse if he reached out 

again? 

Roderick’s eyes fell on her again. Madeleine’s brow was slightly 

furrowed; she was clearly lost in thought. 

Roderick knew what she was thinking about. 

In the haunted house just now, the way she looked at him was 

filled with unease and confusion. 

Chapter 67 

She was worried he didn’t trust her. 

How could he not trust her? 

He just… didn’t trust himself. 

Didn’t trust that he could ever mean more to her than Edward. 

Didn’t trust how long this stolen happiness would last. 

“Roderick.” 

Madeleine suddenly turned her head and spoke, her voice so 

soft it was almost drowned out by the fireworks, “In the 

haunted house just now, I don’t know why Ed…” 

“I know.” 

Roderick cut her off, not wanting to hear her difficult 

explanation, “Edward planned it on purpose.” 

Madeleine was surprised at first, then frowned slightly, “No, I 

was trying to say, just now my body felt like…” 

Halfway through her sentence, another booming firework went 

off, cutting her off. 

Madeleine stopped abruptly. Who would believe her if she said 

Chapter 67 

something like that? 

Even she thought it was absurd. 

But Roderick misunderstood her pause, and his heart felt like it 

had been stabbed. 

Just as he thought. She still cared about Edward. Even with 

amnesia, her body’s instincts didn’t lie. 

“Mommy!” 

Kevin suddenly pointed at the sky, “The biggest firework is 

coming!” 

A huge firework exploded in the night sky, illuminating their 

three faces. 

Roderick used the dazzling light to sneak a look at Madeleine’s 

profile. 

Her long eyelashes trembled, the tip of her nose was still 

slightly red from the earlier scare, but her lips were a little pale. 

Seeing her like this made his heart ache so much he could 

barely breathe. 

If… if she chose to leave after getting her memory back, what

would he do? 

The thought coiled around Roderick’s heart like a venomous 

snake. 

He remembered the look in Madeleine’s eyes when she looked 

at Edward before her amnesia–that reckless obsession, that 

moth–to–a–flame persistence. 

And he could only ever stand in the shadows, watching her be 

crazy about someone else. 

When the fireworks ended, Madeleine walked out beside 

Roderick. The little one excitedly chattered about the 

spectacular fireworks show, and the two of them just listened 

with a smile. 

In the car on the way back, Kevin was tired from playing and 

quickly fell fast asleep in his car seat. 

The car fell silent for a moment, with only the soft hum of the 

air conditioner. 

Madeleine turned her head to look at Roderick again and finally 

mustered the courage to speak, “Ricki, I want to talk to you 

when we get back.” 

Chapter 67 

Roderick’s whole body tensed up, and his voice was deep and 

heavily suppressed. 

Despite that, he still maintained his usual gentleness, 

“Tomorrow. It’s late today.” 

Madeleine opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t insist. 

The two didn’t speak again until they got back to the villa. 

Madeleine wanted Roderick to carry the child to the master 

bedroom to sleep with her, but Roderick said they needed to 

teach the child to sleep independently and carried him to the 

kids‘ room. 

He didn’t mention that the kids‘ room had 24–hour smart 

monitoring, which would make it easier to watch out for Kevin 

having nightmares or talking in his sleep. 

The night grew deep. 

A few bird calls came from outside the window. Madeleine 

tossed and turned in the large bed, unable to fall asleep. 

Whenever she closed her eyes, she would remember that 

moment in Edward’s arms.
