The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 199

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash `199

Chapter 199 

“Sorry, I messed up.” 

She lowered her head to fix it on her computer. 

In one morning, Rebecca had already made this kind of mistake 

three times. 

Roderick tapped the table with his index finger. 

“Take a break. We’ll continue in half an hour. Director Whitman, 

you stay.” 

After everyone else had left the office, Rebecca pulled out a 

chair, sat down, leaned back, and let out a long sigh. 

“Roderick, I need to take a leave of absence. Annual leave. The 

kind that’s paid.” 

“Whatever you want.” 

Roderick picked up a bottle of water from the table and handed it to her. “In your current state, staying at the company will only 

cause trouble.” 

Chapter 199 

“You bet. I was drafting a contract this morning and almost left 

off a zero.” 

She sat bolt upright and looked at Roderick. 

“Do you think I’m sick? Should I go to the hospital and get 

checked out? 

Let your wife go with me, okay?” 

Roderick didn’t focus on the hospital part, just looked at her 

strangely. 

“Why my wife?” 

“She has this magic about her. When I’m with her, big problems 

don’t seem like a big deal, and I just start feeling happy for no 

reason.” 

Roderick’s lips curled into a proud smile. “That’s true.” 

Then he narrowed his eyes suspiciously. 

“You sure you’re not bi?” 

“Are you crazy?” 

Rebecca cried out as if she’d been bitten, “I only like men.”

Only then did Roderick’s expression relax. 

“You don’t need to go to the hospital. You’re not sick.” 

“You’re not a doctor. If Bradley said that, it might actually be 

believable.” 

Roderick chuckled, watching her with a faint smile as he said 

something that hit a nerve: “The year he died, you were in a 

state just like this for a while.” 

“Roderick!” 

Rebecca shot to her feet, the chair scraping harshly across the 

floor. 

Her face turned pale, and her fingers tightened on the edge of 

the table. 

“Didn’t I tell you? Don’t bring him up again!” 

Roderick looked at her calmly, his gaze deep, as if he could see 

right through her. 

“Rebecca, don’t you always handle things decisively?” 

“This is different.” 

Chapter 199 

Rebecca turned her head away, her eyes already red. 

“He’s different to me. You wouldn’t understand.” 

“He’s different, but what about Adrian?” 

Rebecca’s eyelashes trembled. She opened her mouth, but no 

sound came out. 

After a while, she recovered and her gaze was calm when she 

turned back. 

“What does this have to do with Adrian?” 

“You’re acting strange today. Are you going to tell me it’s not 

because of what happened with Adrian last night?” 

Rebecca frowned. “Did Madeleine tell you?” 

“Don’t blame my wife.” 

Roderick clicked his tongue, raising an eyebrow smugly. “I was 

right there when you two were on the phone.” 

Rebecca: … 

With a helpless look on her face, she went back to her seat and 

sat down. 

Chapter 199 

After a long silence, Rebecca finally spoke: 

“Actually, for a long time, I hadn’t even thought about Leo Bishop. Now that you’ve brought him up, I still feel a little 

upset.” 

Roderick wasn’t good at comforting people, so he could only 

state the facts: 

“That’s normal. When your family went bankrupt back then, you wouldn’t have made it if Leo hadn’t been by your side. But Rebecca, I hope you can see clearly what your feelings for Leo 

really are.” 

What were her feelings for him? 

Rebecca closed her eyes and thought for a moment. 

When she was fifteen, the Whitman family fell into debt due to 

a contract dispute and eventually went bankrupt. 

Rebecca went from being a wealthy heiress to a poor girl who 

could barely afford her tuition. 

She still remembered those days, when her family had to 

stretch every penny. 

Chapter 199 

Having been poor and having suffered, Rebecca became very 

concerned about money. 

That year, when debt collectors cornered her, it was Leo who 

saved her. 

After that, he always protected her and even taught her combat 

and boxing. 

“To be honest, I’m not sure either. He was like a brother to me, 

but I knew exactly how he felt about me.” 

Rebecca shrugged. “If he hadn’t gotten leukemia and died, 

maybe we could have given it a try.” 

Roderick didn’t say anything. 

။ 

From what he knew of Rebecca, her feelings for Leo were 

mostly gratitude. 

“There’s no point in making these kinds of assumptions. I’ve 

said enough about moving on. Rebecca, some paths you have 

to walk alone.” 

Roderick said as he raised his hand to look at his watch. 

“The meeting will resume in a few minutes. Give me your part

of the report and go get some rest.” 

“Okay.” 

At the door, Rebecca turned back and forced an ugly smile at 

Roderick. 

“You really can’t lend me your wife for a couple of days?”
