The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 278

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 278

Kirsten watched Kevin struggling to keep his eyes open, his 

little head nodding, and her heart completely melted at the 

pitiful sight. 

She walked over and gently stroked his hair. 

“Be a good boy, Young Master. Your mom and Aunt Rebecca 

have something very important to discuss, so they might be 

back a little late.” 

She coaxed him softly, “You go to sleep first. When you wake 

up tomorrow morning, you’ll definitely see your mom, okay?” 

Kevin’s little lip jutted out even more, his eyes shimmering with 

sleepy tears, but he still stubbornly shook his head. “No… What 

if I fall asleep, and Mom comes back, just takes one look at me, 

and leaves?” 

Just like this morning…” 

His voice trailed off, thick with hurt and unease. 

Even though he was doing much better, needing his mom and fearing separation were still the most basic instincts for a kid

his age. 

Just as Kirsten was wondering what else to say, the soft click 

of the front door came from the living room. 

Kevin’s sleepy little head shot up, his eyes instantly lighting up 

like a puppy hearing its owner’s footsteps. 

He slid off the piano bench almost instantly, not even bothering 

to fix his slippers, and padded quickly toward the living room. 

“Mommy!” 

Madeleine had just changed her shoes when she looked up to 

see her son barreling toward her like a little cannonball, 

throwing his arms around her legs. 

She still carried the slight chill of the night air, but her heart 

instantly melted at her son’s warm embrace. 

“Kev?” 

Madeleine was a little surprised. She bent down, scooped her 

son up, and stroked his warm little cheek. “Why aren’t you 

asleep yet? 

It’s so late.”

Kevin hugged his mom’s neck tightly, burying his face in the crook of her neck. He took a deep breath of her familiar scent 

before lifting his head, content, his sleepiness seeming to fade 

away. 

“Mom, I missed you so much.” 

Kevin buried his face in Madeleine’s neck, his voice muffled, 

and you could barely make out the sadness in it unless you 

listened closely. 

Madeleine felt her heart melt instantly. 

She quickly turned and kissed the little one’s head. 

“Did Kev miss Mommy?” 

“Mhm.” 

Kevin nodded gently in her arms, his soft hair brushing against 

her chin. 

Madeleine could feel his small hands gripping the corner of her 

clothes tightly, as if he was afraid she would disappear if he let 

“Mommy’s been too busy lately, I’ve really been neglecting my

little Kev.” 

Madeleine said softly, her fingertips combing through her son’s 

hair, “It’ll be over in a little more than two months. When it is, 

Mommy will definitely spend lots of time with you, take you to 

the aquarium, and we can go camping together, just like you 

mentioned last time, okay?” 

Unexpectedly, the little one gently shook his head after hearing 

this. 

He looked up, his eyes a little red as if he might have been 

crying secretly, but they were exceptionally clear and bright. 

“Mommy, you don’t have to make it up to me on purpose.” 

He spoke word by word, his childish voice carrying a maturity 

beyond his years. 

“This is something Mommy likes to do. Mommy should live for 

herself, not for me, and not for anyone else. As long as Mommy 

is happy, that’s the best thing.” 

Madeleine was stunned. 

Those weren’t words you’d expect a four or five–year–old child to 

say.

She looked at her son’s round face, her heart filled with both 

surprise and tenderness. 

“Kev, who… who told you all this?” 

She asked softly. 

Kevin blinked his big eyes and said honestly, “Daddy said it.” 

He loosened his grip on his mother slightly and gestured as he 

spoke: 

“Daddy said Mommy is a person who shines, and she’s doing 

something very important. He said I have to learn to wait, like 

waiting for the stars to come out. Even though you have to wait 

until it’s dark, the stars are especially bright and totally worth it.” 

Madeleine’s heart felt as if it were enveloped in the warmest 

current, and her eyes grew a little hot. 

She hadn’t expected Roderick to explain her busyness to their 

child this way; he not only protected her image in their child’s heart but also taught him understanding and respect. 

She pulled her son back into her arms, kissed the top of his head, her voice a little choked up, “Daddy’s right, but Mommy still missed you. Thank you for being so understanding, Kev.”

Kevin snuggled in his mother’s arms and said softly: 

“I want to be like Mommy too, doing things I like. I’m learning to 

paint new pictures now. Daddy bought me new paintbrushes.” 

The guilt in Madeleine’s heart was soothed away.
