The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 265

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 265

Chapter 265 

Leona cut in sharply, taking a few steps forward and poking 

Madeleine’s lower back without hesitation. 

“Where’s your core? 

It’s loose and weak. Are you trying to generate power from 

here? 

You’re using your thighs. It’s clumsy!” 

She moved to the side, pointing at Madeleine’s leg. “Straighten 

it! Where’s the extension? 

You’ve completely lost awareness in your toes. You look like a 

beginner!” 

She even used her hands, forcefully correcting Madeleine’s 

arm. “Your center of gravity is off. You’re wobbly. Your stability 

is a complete mess!” 

“Expression! 

Is your face made of wood? 

Chapter 265 

Where’s Giselle’s joy and innocence? 

Are you just going through the motions mechanically?” 

Leona’s criticisms were rapid and harsh, every word like a cold needle, precisely piercing the spots where Madeleine was rusty and had regressed. 

Her brow was tightly furrowed, her face showing undisguised 

disappointment and a frustration that bordered on anger. 

She couldn’t stand seeing someone who was once her equal 

fall so low. 

Under her barrage of accusations, Madeleine’s breathing grew 

unsteady. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and 

her cheeks flushed from exertion and embarrassment. 

She bit her lip, saying nothing, just trying to regulate her 

breathing and follow Leona’s instructions to correct herself, to 

find that long–lost precision. 

She stumbled through the variation, barely finishing it amidst 

Leona’s constant interruptions and corrections. 

The music stopped, and the only sound in the dance studio was 

their slightly ragged breathing.

The mirror reflected Madeleine’s panting, flushed face, and 

Leona’s icy, dissatisfied expression. 

Leona stared at Madeleine, her chest heaving, that strange 

anger still seeming to burn. 

But looking at Madeleine’s sweaty temples and her still–defiant 

eyes, she finally just scoffed, her tone thick with mockery and 

disappointment: 

“See that? 

This is your level now.” 

“Stiff, clumsy, completely devoid of beauty… Madeleine, you’ve 

lost more than just technique. You’ve lost your reverence and 

feeling for the dance.” 

“The way you are now, it’s just…” 

She seemed to be searching for a word hurtful enough, but in 

the end, she didn’t say it. She just let out a heavy breath and 

turned away, her shoulders looking a little stiff, 

The air seemed to freeze. 

Madeleine stood where she was, sweat trickling down from her 

Chapter 265 

temples. 

She looked at Leona’s back, then at her own reflection in the 

mirror, which was indeed no longer perfect. 

She raised a hand to wipe the sweat from her face. Instead of 

the shame or dejection Leona expected, she let out a very soft 

laugh. 

The laugh was quiet, but it was enough to make Leona turn her 

head in surprise. 

Madeleine met her questioning gaze, her eyes clear, and even 

holding a hint of… relief? 

“Yeah, that was awful.” 

Madeleine spoke, calmly admitting it, even with a hint of self- 

mockery, “It was full of problems, almost painful to watch.” 

Leona frowned, not understanding why she was reacting this 

way. 

“I accept all of this, Leona. If you knew the kind of pain I went 

through in the past, you wouldn’t be saying this.” 

Madeleine’s voice was soft, as if she were lost in thought.

Ballet had been her passion for over a decade. 

If it weren’t for the damned narrative control, why would she 

have given it up? 

During those days of being consciously controlled, Madeleine 

watched helplessly as she hurt her family and saw herself give 

up on her dream. 

The pain was so great that even now, she could barely breathe 

thinking about it. 

Just living an easy life like this was her greatest wish now. 

“I don’t care about that.” 

Leona frowned. She knew she had no right to judge her choice. 

She stepped forward. 

“I just know you shouldn’t be stuck in the past.” 

She took a deep breath and turned her head away. “We still 

haven’t had a proper competition. Are you going to make me 

take the fall for that forever?” 

“Take the fall for what?” 

Chapter 265 

Madeleine looked up in confusion, clearly not getting what she 

meant. 

Leona sneered, “Stop playing dumb. Didn’t Roderick tell you?” 

“No, what does Roderick have to do with this? What’s going 

on?” 

Seeing that Madeleine was genuinely clueless, Leona gritted 

her teeth. 

“That competition during our sophomore year of high school, 

the rumors that were spread about you, remember?” 

“I remember.” 

Madeleine nodded. 

Leona crossed her arms and turned her face away. “Roderick 

came to see me back then.” 

Memories of the past rushed into her mind. 

Madeleine’s mouth fell open. Back when she was heartbroken 

and angry, she had indeed seen Roderick comforting a crying 

Leona. 

It was because of that very scene that Madeleine had angrily

thrown away her trophy. 

“What… what did you two talk about?” 

“You want to know?” 

Leona raised an eyebrow, her expression suddenly serious as 

she looked at Madeleine.
