The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 116

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 116

Madeleine chuckled, telling Roderick everything she knew about 

the “old fossil.” 

After listening, Roderick pondered for a moment and asked 

tentatively, “That old fossil, his last name is Shaw?” 

“Hey, how did you know? 

Rebecca let it slip today. She mentioned some Professor Shaw. 

Although she didn’t say it outright, I guessed it was the old 

fossil!” 

Roderick’s mouth twitched twice, and he leaned back in his 

chair. 

“Don’t get too excited. Rebecca doesn’t like him. She’s just… 

willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants.” 

The Rebecca that Roderick described as ruthless and willing to 

do anything to get her way was currently trying every trick in the 

book to unlock a shared bike. 

“What is this thing!” 

Chapter 116 

She grumbled, phone in hand, wishing she could just kick the 

lock open. 

If it weren’t for building up her poor damsel in distress image, 

would she have parked her multi–million dollar G–Wagon in the 

lot across the street? 

After trying for what felt like forever, she finally unlocked it. 

Rebecca let out a long sigh and rode the bike to a restaurant a 

few hundred meters away. 

Seeing the elegant figure at the restaurant entrance from a 

distance, Rebecca’s heart leaped with joy, and she quickly 

straightened her back as she rode over. 

The man stood under a streetlight by the restaurant entrance, 

the warm yellow light casting a soft glow around him. 

He was wearing a simple blue and white plaid shirt, exuding a 

cool, scholarly air. 

Gold–rimmed glasses rested on his high–bridged nose. The eyes 

behind the lenses were as calm as still water. He was looking 

down at his watch, and when he looked up, his gaze met 

Rebecca’s perfectly. 

“Professor Shaw!” 

Chapter 116 

Rebecca called out from a distance. She got off the bike when she was closer and then parked the shared bike on the side of 

the road. 

“You rode a bike here?” 

“Yeah, just like you, Professor Shaw, I’m all for low–carbon 

travel.” 

Adrian Shaw had a gentle expression. He glanced at Rebecca, 

then at the shared bike. 

“You didn’t lock the bike.” 

Rebecca’s expression froze. 

Oh no, oh no. I was so focused on how to unlock it, I have no 

idea how to lock it! 

If I say I don’t know, won’t that expose that I’m lying to him? 

The last time they met, she had mentioned that she either took 

the subway or biked everywhere. 

“Um, haha, I’ll just leave it unlocked. I’ll ride it back after dinner.” 

“You should probably lock it. It’ll be a while before we eat, and 

we can go for a walk afterward.” 

Chapter 116 

Rebecca thought that made sense and scanned the bike a 

couple of times. 

Wait, I don’t see a lock anywhere… 

Just as she was starting to panic, Adrian’s gentle voice spoke 

again. 

“The shared bikes have all been upgraded now. You just have to 

lock it on your phone.” 

“Oh! 

Right, right, I totally forgot. I only remember what they were like 

before the upgrade.” 

Rebecca smiled faintly, opened her phone, and sure enough, 

she saw the “lock” option on the screen. 

Phew, that was a close call. 

Adrian picked the restaurant for dinner. It was an ordinary 

private home–style restaurant, with a pretty average location 

and decor. 

But the place was packed. If Adrian hadn’t made a reservation 

in advance, they wouldn’t have gotten a table. 

Chapter 116 

Rebecca picked up the menu, her fingertips gently brushing 

against the paper. 

“Professor Shaw, have you eaten here before? What dishes do 

you recommend?” 

Her voice was gentle, making her seem like a completely 

different person from her usual self. 

As she spoke, she snuck a glance at Professor Shaw’s 

expression. It was gentler than ever before. Who said Professor 

Shaw was cold and impartial? 

Tsk, tsk, the damsel in distress persona really works. 

“A few of the signature dishes are good. It’s fine, just order 

what you like. I’m not a picky eater.” 

“Okay.” 

Rebecca casually ordered a few dishes, then asked as if it were 

an afterthought: 

“By the way, Professor Shaw, about what I mentioned last time 

-me being your assistant–what have you decided?” 

Adrian picked up the water pitcher and poured a glass of water 

Chapter 116 

for himself and for Rebecca. 

“I do need an assistant, but…” 

When Rebecca heard that, her eyes dimmed, and her voice 

turned pitiful. 

“I know, I’m not qualified enough.” 

“Ahem, actually…” 

Adrian hesitated for a moment. “I could add you to the lab, but 

only as an intern. The stipend is very low, probably not enough. 

to live on.” 

“That’s okay!” 

Rebecca’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “I can manage no 

matter how low the stipend is.” 

Adrian looked up at her, confused.
