The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 85

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 85

The words were like countless fine needles, piercing through 

her retinas and into her temples. 

The past couldn’t be changed, but she could still change the 

present and the future! 

She couldn’t let Edward go after Roderick’s company again. 

Madeleine took a deep breath, collected her thoughts, and 

continued looking at her phone. 

Besides these specific details, there were also some gossip 

articles about Edward below. 

[In ’21, it was rumored that Anabelle Garrison, the only daughter of the Starlight Group’s chairman, pursued him intensely, even 

publicly declaring she “would marry no one but him,” but 

Edward declined, citing his career.] 

[Rumor has it, a major political figure intended to arrange a strategic marriage between his daughter and Edward, but it ultimately fell through…] 

[Early last month, renowned investor and CEO of Grand Capital, 

Chapter 85 

Amelia Chen, was photographed having dinner with him. 

Afterward, Amelia stated bluntly in an interview: “Edward is the most outstanding young man I’ve ever met, bar none.“] 

“Shit!” 

Madeleine wanted to smash her phone. 

What the hell had she gotten into? A power–fantasy web novel? 

Madeleine’s gaze wavered. 

A novel? 

Instantly, a bone–chilling cold crept up from the soles of her feet, spreading through her whole body until it felt like a large 

hand clutching her heart. 

A novel… Could it be that she was in a novel? 

A novel where Edward was the protagonist? 

Then what were she, Roderick, Kev, and her parents and 

everyone around her? 

Supporting characters? 

Disposable side characters? 

Chapter 85 

Or just passersby? 

Were they even real, living people? 

Too much information flooded Madeleine’s mind. She turned 

and grabbed the wall, afraid she might fall. 

“A novel… This world is a novel…” 

She closed her eyes. They felt warm, and something seemed to 

be caught in her throat. 

If that was the case, then everything seemed to make sense. 

Her personality change, the things she did for Edward, were all 

just to help him, the male lead, become more successful. 

But. 

Why? 

Madeleine’s eyes snapped open, a fire burning within them. 

She gripped her phone so tightly her knuckles turned white, her 

chest heaving. 

If this world really was a novel, then what was she? 

Chapter 85 

A means to an end, existing only to highlight the male lead’s 

charm? 

A stupid female side character, manipulated by the narrative 

control into loving him, betraying her family, only to be casually 

sacrificed in the end? 

“What a joke!” 

She raised her hand and hurled the phone away. 

It bounced once, and the screen shattered. 

She didn’t care. 

Bullshit male lead, bullshit Man of Destiny! 

She, Madeleine, was flesh and blood. She could feel pain, she 

could feel hate. Why should she be a stepping stone in 

someone else’s story? 

The weary faces of her parents, Roderick’s worried gaze, and 

Kev’s innocent smile flashed through her mind. 

Was all of that fake? 

This warmth, this pain, these living, breathing emotions–how 

could they just be a few lines of text on a piece of paper? 

Chapter 85 

“I don’t give a damn what kind of hellish world this is…” 

She gritted her teeth, her voice low and hoarse but firm. “I am 

who I am. No one is going to control my life.” 

Outside the window, the twilight was heavy. 

Madeleine stood up straight and wiped her face. 

Fine. 

If this is a game, then she’ll play it to the end. 

Edward is the male lead, isn’t he? 

Isn’t he blessed by fate? 

Doesn’t everyone love him? 

Then she would, with her own hands, tear this so–called Destiny 

to shreds. 

Roderick had showered before leaving, and his hair was still wet 

when he got to the office. 

Rebecca frowned. “You didn’t have to rush like this. Why didn’t 

you dry your hair?” 

Chapter 85 

“I couldn’t stand you slandering my wife.” 

Rebecca was furious. 

“Is that what you call slander? Go look at the anonymous 

discussions on the company’s intranet. Everyone’s guessing if 

there’s a mole.” 

They were just afraid the CEO would trace them through the intranet, so they didn’t dare mention Daquan Livingston directly. 

Rebecca sat in the chair across from Roderick’s desk with her 

arms crossed, her voice a bit calmer. 

“So, tell me, why do you trust your wife so much this time?” 

Roderick really was different this time. 

Before, he’d protect her, but if Madeleine had actually done 

something, he’d admit it. 

But this time, he was certain Madeleine didn’t do it. 

Rebecca chuckled. “It’s not just a gut feeling, is it?” 

Roderick shot her a displeased look. 

Rebecca could only shrug helplessly, signaling for him to

continue and that she wouldn’t interrupt again. 

“This isn’t the first time business information from the branch 

office has been leaked. It only got exposed this time because so much was leaked. I had people watching it since the first 

time it happened.”
