The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 73

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 73

“That’s not what I meant, Mom.” 

Madeleine didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I just think it’s 

strange. Could the Madeleine from the past have been a 

different person?” 

She didn’t know how to explain words like “soul possession” or 

“soul transmigration” to her mother, so she could only explain it 

vaguely. 

Who knew that Clarissa understood even more than she did. 

“Tch, you’re just trying to say your body was taken over, like in 

one of those Time Travel genre stories, aren’t you?” 

“Huh? 

Mom, you even know about this stuff.” 

“Of course. In the past few years, your mom here has watched 

plenty of the novels and TV shows that young people like.” 

Madeleine put her hand to her forehead. 

Chapter 73 

It seems the country’s cultural industry has really flourished these past few years. 

Clarissa sighed and said, “I know what you’re thinking, but 

Maddie, a mother can still tell if you’re her daughter or not.” 

Madeleine’s eyelid twitched. 

So what Mom meant was, for the past eight years, I was still 

me? 

“But Mom, didn’t you say I’ve changed in a lot of ways, like my 

tastes and my style…” 

“You did change, but… hmm, how do I say this… it doesn’t feel 

like you changed because you wanted to. It’s hard to explain 

over the phone.” 

She heard her dad on the other end, urging her mom to go for a 

walk, so her mom quickly told Madeleine not to overthink it. 

“It’s okay, honey. In a few days, bring Roderick and Kev over for 

dinner, and Mom will have a proper chat with you then.” 

Click. The call ended. 

Madeleine clutched her phone, a million questions running 

Chapter 73 

through her head. 

What were her parents in such a rush for? 

Wait, that’s not right. The main reason I called was to ask what 

gift to bring for Owen. I didn’t get a single important thing done. 

The thought of how that other version of her could be so cruel 

to her own parents made Madeleine nervous. 

Maybe I should just try to get out of it. 

I’ll just say I’m not feeling well and have Roderick take the kid by 

himself. 

But that really wasn’t Madeleine’s style! 

She was desperate to know what exactly had happened over 

the past few years, and who that person who existed for eight 

years really was. 

At the same time, she also wanted to know who she had hurt 

during those years. She had to make it up to them. 

“Madeleine, oh Madeleine, from now on you’re not a softie, 

you’re a piece of peanut brittle! 

The kind that can’t be stomped on or crushed!” 

Chapter 73 

After changing her clothes and going downstairs, Madeleine 

saw Kirsten and Roy carrying some gift boxes out of the house. 

Madeleine took a look and saw they were all gift sets, with 

things like royal jelly, Whiskey, and luxury wellness hampers. 

Ricki was pretty thoughtful, actually remembering to prepare 

gifts for his elders. 

Just as she was about to go over and say she wanted to 

contribute something too, Madeleine heard Kirsten scolding: 

“Sir, honestly, why didn’t you tell us sooner about such huge 

news, that your wife is pregnant? 

That way I could have prepared more traditional health 

supplements.” 

Madeleine tripped over her own feet and nearly fell flat on her 

face. 

Who! 

Who’s pregnant! 

Roderick heard the noise and walked over, taking a couple of

steps to steady Madeleine. 

“Are the shoes uncomfortable?” 

“No…” 

“Then it must be the carpet. Kirsten, let’s replace the carpet 

tomorrow.” 

Kirsten agreed and continued tidying up the gift boxes on the 

table. 

Madeleine quickly grabbed Roderick. “Who’s pregnant?” 

Roderick’s eyes darkened slightly. Before he could speak, the 

little guy poked his head over. 

“Mommy, Grandma’s pregnant. I’m going to have a little brother 

or a little sister.” 

“You’ve got the titles wrong.” 

Roderick tapped Kevin’s head lightly with two fingers. “You 

should call him your uncle or aunt.” 

Madeleine’s jaw dropped. She raised a hand to support it, afraid 

it might dislocate. 

Chapter 73 

Holy cow. 

Roderick’s mom is pregnant! 

Is Owen that potent? 

Wait, that’s not right. Didn’t they get divorced a long time ago? 

Seeing the confused and surprised look on Madeleine’s face, 

Roderick pulled her aside and said, “My dad remarried. The new 

one is named Diane Miller. Just call her Mrs. Miller.” 

Madeleine finally understood and nodded. 

No wonder. So he remarried. 

“This Mrs. Miller…” 

“You stay away from her.” 

Roderick’s tone was anxious and tense. His eyes flickered, but 

he didn’t elaborate.. 

Madeleine was completely baffled for a moment. Isn’t this Mrs. 

Miller Roderick’s stepmother? 

Chapter 73 

Why would he tell me to stay away from her? 

Did they have some kind of history? 

Madeleine wanted to ask more, but she noticed Roderick’s gaze 

was a bit evasive.
