The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 243

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 243

Chapter 243 

She nodded to herself. “Based on my experience from all the TV 

shows and novels I’ve watched, yep, it must be like that!” 

Rebecca scoffed and shook her head. 

“I don’t think so.” 

“Huh?” 

Madeleine was confused. “Why?” 

“They have zero romantic chemistry.” 

Rebecca said bluntly. 

She narrowed her eyes, like a sly cat. 

“Don’t believe me?” 

“How about we make a bet?” 

Madeleine glanced over again, confused. Isabella was cute, and the eye contact she just had with Bradley was pretty sweet to 

watch. It felt… like it should be just as she thought. 

Chapter 243 

“Bet on what?” 

“Let’s bet on whether they’re a couple or not.” 

“I say they’re not.” 

“If you lose…” 

She leaned closer to Madeleine, a cunning smile on her face. 

“Next month, for the new collection fashion shows from the big 

brands, you’ll pay for whatever I want.” 

Madeleine raised an eyebrow. 

“And if you lose?” 

“Name your price.” 

Rebecca shrugged. 

“Deal!” 

Madeleine held out her hand, and they high–fived to seal the 

deal. 

Right after the high–five, Madeleine realized something was off. 

What did Roderick say last night? He said if they were going to 

Chapter 243 

watch the drama unfold, they should go for the big story, so he 

also invited Bradley’s sister over. 

Crap! 

Madeleine shot up from the swing. 

Fuck! 

How could she have almost forgotten, Bradley has a sister 

complex! 

After sitting for a while, the butler asked about their plans for 

the afternoon. Madeleine wanted to try having a barbecue, so 

the butler immediately arranged for a grill and ingredients. 

“I remember our high school organized a barbecue trip once, do 

you guys remember?” 

Madeleine brushed oil on the BBQ skewers and asked Roderick 

and Bradley excitedly. 

They both nodded, but Roderick didn’t look too happy. 

“I remember. You kicked me.” 

Chapter 243 

Madeleine’s hands stopped, her eyes widening. “When did I…” 

“I can vouch for it, you definitely kicked him.” 

Bradley was holding back a laugh on the side. 

“I was there too, I saw it with my own eyes. After you kicked 

him, Roderick took a big fall, and by the time he got up, you had 

already run off.” 

Madeleine blinked a couple of times as the memory came back, 

and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. 

“I remember now!” 

Her eyes sparkled with a bit of mischief. “It was a special 

situation!” 

She explained while flipping the BBQ skewers, trying hard to 

hold back her laughter. 

“We were split into groups to find firewood that day, right? You 

two weren’t far from me.” 

“I happened to see a snake, coiled in the grass right behind you, flicking its tongue out, really close to your leg!” 

Madeleine made a gesture. 

Chapter 243 

“I was scared stiff. I wanted to shout, but I was afraid of 

startling the snake. What if it bit you?” 

She glanced at Roderick and puffed out her chest, looking 

completely justified. 

“Pushing you with my hands would’ve been too slow!” 

“In the heat of the moment, I just… I just sent you flying with a 

kick!” 

“See? It worked great!” 

The more she spoke, the more she felt she was right. “The 

snake got scared off, and you were safe!” 

Bradley was bent over laughing beside them. 

“That’s right! 

It worked great! 

Roderick was on the ground, stunned for a while. He thought you’d suddenly gone crazy and were trying to murder him!” 

Roderick picked up a skewer of grilled mushrooms, his face 

expressionless. 

Chapter 243 

“So I’m supposed to thank you for that?” 

Madeleine sidled up to him with a grin, holding a freshly grilled, 

sizzling chicken wing to his lips. 

“Oh, come on, that’s ancient history! 

Try this. It’s my apology!” 

“We were mortal enemies back then. How could I just warn 

you? That would’ve been so embarrassing!” 

Roderick looked at her ingratiating smile, then at the chicken 

wing offered to his lips. 

In the end, he lowered his head and took a bite. 

“It’s not bad.” 

he commented lightly. 

Madeleine immediately beamed. 

Bradley started teasing from the side. 

“Whoa, is that all it takes to win you over? 

Roderick, you have no principles!” 

Chapter 243 

Roderick shot him a look. 

“Still better than some people.” 

Their eyes met, and Bradley instantly realized he was talking about him and Charlotte. He was immediately choked up and 

couldn’t say a word. 

Tsk… This guy really knows how to hit where it hurts. 

Madeleine’s enthusiasm came and went quickly. After grilling a few skewers to fill herself up, she said she couldn’t stand the 

greasy smoke anymore. 

“Rebecca, want to go for a walk outside?” 

“Okay.” 

Rebecca went to wash her hands and asked Isabella if she 

wanted to join. 

She was getting a buzz from a card game with Kevin and politely declined.
