The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 218

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 218

Chapter 218 

Adrian’s fingers slowly tightened with a force that couldn’t be 

resisted. 

His eyes, usually as gentle as water, now looked like a bottle of 

ink had been spilled in them, swirling with darkness. 

Rebecca had been alive for over twenty years; she wasn’t some 

naive young girl. 

With just one look, she could tell what was in Adrian’s desire- 

filled eyes. 

And that almost blunt thing he said… 

She gritted her teeth and yanked her arm back with all her 

might. 

“I thought Professor Shaw was above worldly desires, with only 

academics on his mind.” 

Adrian let out a soft laugh. 

“Disappointed to find out I’m just an ordinary man?” 

Chapter 218 

Rebecca pressed her lips together and said nothing. 

Adrian hid the look in his eyes and said indifferently, “Rebecca, 

all men are the same.” 

“No, they’re not.” 

Rebecca’s reply was firm, Leo’s image echoing in her mind. 

He’s different. 

In that brief moment she was distracted, Adrian instantly read 

the thought in her eyes. 

She had denied what he just said. Did that mean there was a 

different… man in her heart? 

The corners of Adrian’s eyes turned a little red, and he 

uncontrollably clenched his fists. 

Rebecca didn’t look at Adrian again, her tone flat. “I have 

something to do, so I’ll be going. Thanks for bringing me the 

keys, Professor Shaw.” 

With that, Rebecca turned and left without a hint of hesitation. 

Just like her usual style. 

Chapter 218 

Never one to drag things out. 

Always decisive and efficient. 

Back at the car, Madeleine leaned halfway out the window and 

asked, 

“Rebecca, what took you so long?” 

“It’s nothing. I just exchanged a few words with them.” 

Rebecca looked perfectly calm, as if nothing had happened at 

all. 

Even if Madeleine noticed something was wrong, she didn’t 

press the issue. 

She knew Rebecca. When she couldn’t hold it in anymore, she 

would talk. 

Since she wasn’t willing to talk, she must still be thinking it over. 

It was better to give her some time to think. 

The next day was the bid meeting. 

Chapter 218 

The bid meeting started at ten, but at nine–twenty, Madeleine 

and Roderick were still at home, eating fruit and watching TV. 

Rebecca called, her voice a furious shout. 

“Do you know what time it is? Where are you two?! 

!” 

Madeleine was sitting on the sofa with her legs propped on 

Roderick’s lap. He was watching TV while massaging her 

calves. 

Madeleine exercised a lot but usually didn’t have much time to 

stretch her muscles. Every night, as she was drifting off to 

sleep, Roderick would give them a massage. 

Madeleine was really enjoying it right now. She had to admit, 

Roderick was pretty good at this. 

If the company ever went under, he could always learn a trade. 

“Don’t worry, Rebecca, we’re on our way.” 

“Bullshit! I can hear the music from your bubblegum romance 

series!” 

Rebecca put her hand to her forehead. 

Chapter 218 

She had no idea why Madeleine loved watching those kinds of 

shows. She’d watched quite a few with her during the days she 

stayed at Madeleine’s place, and now she could recognize it 

just by the sound. 

Caught in her lie, Madeleine gave an embarrassed grin. 

“You’re so smart, Rebecca~ We haven’t left yet. We’ll head out 

as soon as this episode is over.” 

“What? Are you two crazy? It starts at ten, and you’re not 

coming?” 

“Come on, why go so early? We can get in even after it starts.” 

Rebecca pinched the bridge of her nose. 

“You two are really confident. Aren’t you worried Edward won’t 

fall into the trap you’ve set?” 

“Impossible.” 

That was Roderick. He took the phone from Madeleine’s hand. 

“Edward signed the contract with the bank yesterday.” 

“He signed another one? 

Chapter 218 

Just how much more did he commit!” 

Madeleine was eating grapes and popped one into Roderick’s 

mouth. 

He bit into it, the sweet juice bursting in his mouth, and said 

calmly, “For the next two years, Edward’s cash flow is going to 

be tight.” 

When a company ties up its capital in a long–term project, the 

quiet years that follow are when it’s most vulnerable. 

Want to go after Edward? 

There will be plenty of opportunities. 

Rebecca gasped. 

“Is he insane?” 

“He’s not insane. He’s just too desperate to beat me.” 

Madeleine giggled and raised her voice to add into the phone, 

“So, Rebecca, at today’s bid, all we have to do is sit in the back 

and enjoy the show.” 

“You two are really something else…” 

Chapter 218 

“What?” 

“Two peas in a pod.” 

The call ended. Madeleine spat out a grape seed and suddenly 

asked, “So between us, who’s the turtle and who’s the green 

bean?” 

Roderick raised an eyebrow. 

“If I’m the turtle, then you’re kissing a turtle. If you’re the turtle… 

hmm, I won’t deny it.”
