The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 216

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 216

Chapter 216 

But Rebecca distinctly felt his gaze linger on her for a moment. 

Madeleine was easygoing and quickly struck up a conversation 

with a few of the girls, so the atmosphere wasn’t too awkward. 

Until someone raised a question. 

“Rebecca, why are you suddenly dropping out of our lab 

project?” 

All eyes immediately turned to her. 

Rebecca’s movements and gaze froze, feeling several intense 

stares fixed on her. 

Before, she could have lied easily. 

But now that Adrian had seen through her, the lies felt like they 

were burning her mouth, impossible to say. 

Two students who had been on good terms with Rebecca 

chuckled and teased her. 

“After you left, we were guessing if you went back to date 

Chapter 216 

someone and get married or something.” 

“Pfft…” 

Madeleine couldn’t hold it in and spat out her drink. 

She grabbed a napkin to wipe her mouth and quickly explained 

for Rebecca, “Don’t talk nonsense, our Rebecca is still single.” 

After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Adrian. 

Although Adrian’s eyes were on the menu, they were clearly 

unfocused. His attention was all on Rebecca. 

He was indeed curious, wondering what kind of excuse 

Rebecca would come up with. 

After a long moment. 

“It’s just some family business. I had to go back and take care 

of it.” 

“Trouble at home? 

Do you need our help?” 

Just as he finished, the person next to him nudged his 

shoulder.

“Are you stupid? What help can we be? If anyone’s going to 

help, it’d have to be Professor Shaw.” 

Since the conversation had turned to Adrian, he turned his head 

to join in. 

“Is there anything I can do to help you?” 

Rebecca held her breath and turned to meet his gaze. 

Her expression was complicated. 

He was the one who knew best what she wanted. 

For him to ask like this, what did Adrian really mean? 

Was he doing it on purpose, to humiliate her? 

But on second thought, Rebecca felt she was overthinking it. 

After all, she was the one who had lied to Adrian in the first 

place. 

“It’s nothing.” 

Rebecca shook her head, “I can handle it myself.” 

After that, she picked up her fork and started eating on her own, 

looking unwilling to talk to them.

It was probably the “don’t come near me” vibe she was giving 

off. The students who had been eager to talk to her now just 

looked at each other awkwardly. 

Adrian looked away and called the waiter over to order. 

He looked natural as he changed the subject to the research 

project he was currently working on.. 

As they started talking about the experiment, the atmosphere. 

between them finally became less awkward. 

Madeleine wanted to say something to Rebecca several times, 

but seeing her just staring blankly at the plate of Spicy Wok- 

tossed Kidney, she could only sigh silently to herself. 

Forget it, I’ll talk to her after dinner when we get back. 

“Are you done eating?” 

“Pretty much.” 

Madeleine nodded. She had lost her appetite long ago. If Rebecca was uncomfortable, she felt uncomfortable too. 

Rebecca nodded and paid with her phone. 

After standing up, she looked openly at Adrian and his

students. 

“Enjoy your meal, everyone. We’re leaving now.” 

“Hey, you’re leaving already? Why don’t you stay a little longer?” 

“Yeah, Rebecca, we haven’t seen you in days. Don’t you miss 

us?” 

Rebecca forced a polite smile, gave a slight nod, and left. 

As the two of them left, Adrian’s gaze followed their backs, lost 

in thought for a long time. 

It wasn’t until they were out of the restaurant that Madeleine 

felt the oppressive feeling ease up a bit. 

She reached out and tugged on Rebecca’s sleeve. 

“Rebecca, are you okay?” 

“What could be wrong with me?” 

Rebecca composed herself quickly, her expression back to 

normal as she spoke. 

She winced, “It was just a little awkward, after all, I was acting 

like that in front of them every day.”

She couldn’t help but rub her arms. 

“It was so cutesy, I feel weird just thinking about it.” 

Madeleine chuckled, “I wasn’t used to you acting so proper 

either.” 

“So yeah, it’s better to just be myself.” 

They chatted as they reached the parking lot, and Rebecca 

patted her pocket. 

“Hm?” 

“What is it?” 

“My car keys.” 

She distinctly remembered slipping them in her pocket after 

she got out of the car. 

Madeleine rushed over and started patting Rebecca down with 

both hands, searching with a serious expression. 

A few passersby glanced over, their expressions clearly shipping a couple. 

Rebecca was speechless. She put her palm on Madeleine’s

forehead and pushed her away. 

“Stop it, they’re not on me.” 

“So what now?” 

Rebecca pulled out her phone. “I can unlock the car with the 

app.”
