The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 269

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 269

Madeleine felt she had nowhere to hide under his gaze, that old bit of jealousy and her youthful feelings brought to the surface. 

Embarrassed, she buried her face in the crook of his neck, her 

voice coming out muffled: 

“…E–even if a little bit… was because you were talking to her… 

just a little bit!” 

(Which side couple should we see first? I’m taking suggestions 

on this.) 

Already thin–skinned, Madeleine felt her ears burning hot. 

Seriously, wasn’t she supposed to be the one questioning 

Roderick? 

How did she end up being the one getting played? 

“You went to see Leona. What did you two talk about?” 

“She and I made a three–month agreement.” 

Roderick frowned. “What three–month agreement?”

Madeleine recounted their conversation, and Roderick’s frown 

deepened after hearing it. 

“What’s wrong? You don’t think it’s a good idea?” 

Madeleine sat up and looked at Roderick strangely. He always 

supported all her decisions, but this time he didn’t voice his 

opinion right away. 

“It’s not that it’s a bad idea.” 

Roderick sighed softly and stroked Madeleine’s hair. “I’m just 

worried about you. You’re already overwhelmed with starting 

your business, and now you have to train too. What if your body 

can’t take it?” 

Madeleine was silent for a moment. 

“It is a bit of an overload, but Ricki, I could see the unwillingness 

in Leona’s eyes. She felt that way for me. You should know, 

giving up ballet these past few years… was a huge blow to me.” 

Roderick nodded. 

For the Madeleine of the past, ballet was an indispensable part 

of her life.

If there was a chance to get it back, it would indeed be a good 

thing. 

“It’s only for three months. I believe I can handle it, and I’ve 

already figured it out.” 

Madeleine narrowed her eyes, stroking her chin. “I’m going to 

have ambitions for my father’s success!” 

What Madeleine meant by having ambitions for her father’s 

success was calling back Harold, who was idly playing poker. 

“Sweetheart, you’ve organized this information so thoroughly. 

There’s nothing left for your dad to do, is there?” 

Harold flipped through the pile of documents Madeleine 

brought over, unable to help but be amazed. 

Was this still the pampered daughter he had raised? When did 

she become so capable? 

“The paperwork is all done, but I’m having some trouble with the 

factory side of things.” 

Madeleine scratched her head sheepishly. “Dad, I might need 

you to come out of retirement and keep an eye on the factory.”

As soon as she said that, Clarissa, who was standing by, was all 

for it. 

“We really need to find something for your dad to do. He’s been 

so addicted to playing poker these past two days that his neck. 

problems are acting up. Ugh, I can’t even be bothered to talk 

about him.” 

“Look at you, look at you, saying these things in front of our 

daughter. Don’t embarrass me.” 

“You still care about being embarrassed? You’re in your fifties 

and still so addicted to cards. You should hurry up and help our 

daughter more while you still can.” 

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you, dear.” 

The couple went back and forth, and when they turned their 

heads, they found Madeleine’s eyes brimming with tears. 

Harold panicked, scrambling to get a tissue to wipe his 

daughter’s tears. 

“Maddie, what’s wrong? Why are you crying? Dad didn’t say he 

wouldn’t help.” 

Madeleine sniffled and wiped her tears. “It’s nothing, Dad. I

just… I just feel really bad. If it weren’t for all this messy 

business, you should be enjoying a peaceful retirement right. 

now, just like Roderick’s father.” 

“Silly child, there’s no need to feel bad among family.” 

Harold patted Madeleine’s head lovingly. 

“What silly things to say. You’re now Mrs. Livingston, whom 

everyone envies. Logically, you could just stay home and enjoy 

life, but you don’t. You’re working hard for your dreams, for the 

Mosley family’s business. Dad couldn’t be happier.” 

He said, raising an eyebrow proudly. 

“What ‘enjoying a peaceful retirement‘? That’s what old men 

with no ambition hope for. Your dad can still continue to 

contribute in retirement, be a rock for my dear Maddie. You 

have no idea how fulfilling that is.” 

Clarissa also ruffled Madeleine’s hair and put an arm around her daughter’s shoulder. “We’re family, we don’t say such things. We’re so happy to support you as you get back on your feet and do what you want to do. How could you ever be a 

burden?”
