The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 273

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 273

Chapter 273 

During a pause when Meredith was catching his breath, he said 

flatly, “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.“. 

“You dare! 

Get your ass back here and get married.” 

“Fine. If you’re not afraid of the whole family dying from poison 

and making the news after we’re married, I’ll come back 

anytime.” 

He let out a cold laugh. “I’m an expert at making poison.” 

With that, Adrian hung up. 

He said those last two sentences with his back to Rebecca, his 

face dark and menacing. 

It was as if he didn’t want Rebecca to discover his dark side. 

He was afraid she would run away if she saw him like this. 

Taking a deep breath, Adrian tried to calm himself. When he turned and got back in the car, he was already wearing the

familiar smile of Professor Shaw, the one his students always 

saw. 

“Tired of waiting?” 

“Not at all.” 

Rebecca shook her head, but she could still sense Adrian’s 

facade. 

“What’s wrong? Did something happen? Is the lab rushing you?” 

Adrian started the car, his eyes on the road. “No, that was 

family.” 

“Family, huh.” 

Rebecca grew curious and turned to look at him. “I don’t think 

you’ve ever mentioned them. Who’s in your family? Are you 

close?” 

Adrian didn’t answer immediately, as if he were subconsciously 

weighing his words. 

But those two seconds of hesitation were enough for Rebecca 

to realize. 

Wait. 

Chapter 273 

Had she been a little too forward with her question? 

There was still a month left in their trial period. Asking this kind 

of question now, wouldn’t it be awkward if he didn’t want to 

answer? 

Before Adrian could speak, Rebecca quickly forced a grin. 

“I was just asking. I’m not actually that curious.” 

Adrian turned to glance at her, swallowing the words he was 

about to say. 

Really? So her curiosity about me was that low. 

Their relationship wasn’t at that stage yet; some topics were 

indeed off–limits. 

With that thought, Adrian managed a strained smile. 

“Shall we get going then?” 

“Yeah, let’s go.” 

The car pulled out onto the road. By unspoken agreement, neither of them mentioned what had just happened. 

A not–so–perfect date. 

Chapter 273 

While watching the movie, both Rebecca and Adrian seemed 

preoccupied. 

The mystery movie had a fast pace, and you’d miss important 

clues if you zoned out for even a moment. 

So after it was over, they both tacitly agreed not to discuss the 

narrative control. 

“Are you heading to the lab in a bit?” 

“Yeah.” 

Adrian glanced at the time. “We still have a little time. Want to 

do something else?” 

“What… are you thinking?” 

Rebecca’s mind went to the gutter, and her face flushed with 

embarrassment. 

Adrian couldn’t help but laugh. 

“Even if you wanted to, there isn’t enough time. We have less 

than forty minutes left.” 

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief, her mouth moving faster than her brain. “I get it, I get it. Men, you all say you can last a long 

Chapter 273 

time.” 

Adrian stopped in his tracks. 

He turned his head, his hand holding Rebecca’s tightening 

slightly. 

“Who else has said that to you?” 

“No one, no one.” 

Rebecca finally realized what she’d said, looking embarrassed. “That’s just what they say in TV shows and novels. I was just 

talking.” 

Adrian narrowed his eyes, but seeing that Rebecca didn’t seem to be lying, his jealousy slowly faded. 

He slowly moved closer, lowering his head to whisper in 

Rebecca’s ear: 

“The proof is in the pudding, Rebecca, understand?” 

“Understand what?” 

Rebecca hadn’t been desensitized yet; she inevitably grew 

nervous whenever Adrian got close.

“Heh…” Adrian let out a low, husky laugh, and Rebecca felt the 

tips of her ears burning. 

He took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Rebecca and 

kiss her neck. 

“It’s nothing.” 

They didn’t do anything else, just being together pointlessly, yet 

it felt blissful. 

For a professor who spent all day in the lab, refusing to rest 

until his paper was written, and a workaholic who wished she 

could use her eating and sleeping time for work, this was 

simply unbelievable. 

“Professor Shaw, is this what being in a relationship is like? 

It feels a bit like being lost in pleasure.” 

“I suppose so.” 

Adrian found Rebecca’s question adorable and nodded with a 

smile in agreement. 

After a little while longer, Adrian had to leave. 

“Sorry, I don’t have time to have dinner with you.” 

Chapter 273 

Rebecca shrugged. “It’s okay, you have work commitments, I 

understand. Remember to grab something to eat on your way 

to the lab.” 

Adrian nodded. 

“Where are you heading? 

Home, or to the office?” 

“I’m going to have dinner with Madeleine.” 

Adrian took a moment to process that. “Mrs. Livingston.” 

“Right.” 

Rebecca nodded. 

“Okay, be safe on your way then. Wait for me… never mind, I’ll 

probably be in the lab until the early hours.”
