The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 246

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 246

Chapter 246 

“I asked you before, when you were using the identity of 

Eleanor, always coming to see me, contacting me… besides 

wanting me to partner with the Whitman group, did you have 

any personal reasons?” 

Adrian’s voice was very soft, like the breeze blowing past, 

carrying his words into Rebecca’s ears. 

She felt her heart skip a beat. 

She instinctively turned her head, her eyes meeting Adrian’s. 

Thump, thump. 

Her heartbeat quickened. Rebecca thought that if lying really 

made your nose grow, she’d better not open her mouth right 

now. 

She lied a lot. 

But this time, she wanted to tell the truth. 

“Yes.” 

Chapter 246 

As she spat out the word, sharp and clear, Rebecca could 

clearly see Adrian’s pupils contract, a subtle change. 

As if filled with the satisfaction of being in complete control. 

He nodded and said softly, “What ulterior motive? 

Keep talking.” 

။ 

“This is the second question, isn’t it?” 

“You owe me so much, what’s one more question?” 

Rebecca had a habit of changing the subject when she felt 

guilty, so she pouted. 

“You’re so calculating, you’re the one who should be in 

business.” 

“Rebecca.” 

Adrian held back a laugh. “Answer the question.” 

Okay, attempt to change the subject: failed. 

Rebecca had no choice but to confess. “What other motive could there be? I just… think you’re good–looking and wanted a few more glances. Appreciating beauty is human nature, right?” 

Chapter 246 

It was a nonchalant statement, but after saying it, Rebecca didn’t dare touch her own face to feel how hot it was. 

Adrian raised an eyebrow, not quite satisfied with that answer. 

He continued to coax her. 

“So, can I take that to mean you like me?” 

“Is lust at first sight the same as liking someone?” 

Rebecca had no intention of admitting it. 

Adrian was exasperated. 

She had laid her cards on the table but gotten nothing of equal 

value in return. For a businesswoman like Rebecca, that didn’t 

sit well. 

So she decided to ask him instead. 

“What about you?” 

“What about me.” 

After a moment of hesitation, she managed to say with difficulty, “You said you… wanted me. Wasn’t that also just lust at first sight?”

Adrian: … 

So that’s what she thought. 

Adrian stared at her. The mountain breeze gently rustled the 

hair on his forehead, but his eyes were as still as a deep pool. 

“Rebecca.” 

He suddenly let out a very soft laugh, tinged with self–mockery. 

“Am I that shallow in your eyes?” 

“You’re the one who said it!” 

Rebecca was annoyed. “You said all men are the same.” 

Adrian sighed inwardly. 

She had completely misunderstood him, yet she was acting all 

self–righteous. 

He turned to the side to face her, the distance between them 

closing in an instant. 

So close that Rebecca could see the faint shadow cast by his 

eyelashes and feel his warm breath on her skin. 

“If it were just lust, I would have played along the first time you 

Chapter 246 

approached me with an agenda.” 

His voice suddenly dropped low, like a lover’s whisper. 

“If it were just lust, the day you forced a kiss on me, I would have deepened it without hesitation.” 

His fingertips brushed almost imperceptibly against the back of 

her hand, which rested on the grass. 

“If it were just lust… that night, do you really think you could 

have gotten away?” 

His gaze locked onto hers, leaving her no room to escape. 

After saying this, his eyes slowly fell to her lips, lingering for a 

moment. 

His gaze felt so real it made Rebecca’s lips feel slightly dry, her heart pounding like a drum. 

Rebecca’s heart clenched, her mind thrown into chaos by the 

restrained storm hidden in his words. 

She wanted to argue, but her throat felt tight, and she couldn’t 

get a single word out. 

Adrian looked at her slightly widened eyes, which clearly

reflected his own image, along with a barely perceptible trace of 

panic. 

He was satisfied to see that his words had stirred something 

within her. 

He leaned in another inch, his nose almost touching hers, their 

breaths mingling. 

“Rebecca, tell me,” his voice was incredibly hoarse, with a raw, 

teasing quality, “if a man didn’t have some kind of ulterior 

motive, why would he let a woman who clearly has her own 

agenda get close to him, time and time again? 

Why would he be worried sick when she was sick? 

Why would he… force himself to stop when she leaned in for a 

kiss?” 

He raised his hand, brushing the back of his fingers gently 

across her burning cheek, the movement slow and full of 

suggestion. 

“What I’ve wanted was never just a one–time thing.” 

His fingertips came to rest on her chin, tilting her face up to 

look at him.
