The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 139

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 139

Roderick’s gaze never left Madeleine as he nodded slightly. 

“Thank you, Mrs. Miller.” 

Rebecca suddenly mentioned she had some business to 

discuss with Roderick, and the two of them went to the living 

room. 

Taking this opportunity, Mrs. Miller wanted to chat a bit more 

with Madeleine. 

“Shall we go sit for a bit?” 

“Okay.” 

Madeleine nodded, an inexplicable nervousness starting to 

build inside her. 

She was still shaken by their last conversation with Mrs. Miller; 

in her mind, the old Mrs. Miller had always tried to set her up 

with Edward for no reason, like a hand pushing her onto that 

very track. 

And the question she had asked last time had inadvertently 

woken Mrs. Miller up. 

Chapter 139 

So, had Mrs. Miller awakened too? 

This question had been swirling in Madeleine’s mind for a long 

time. If that was the case, she needed to confirm whether Mrs. 

Miller was suffering from any side effects. 

She followed Mrs. Miller to the tea room and found that the tea 

snacks on the table had been replaced with soft cake and nuts. 

Outside the window, the setting sun filtered through the sheer 

curtains, casting mottled patterns of light and shadow between 

them. 

Mrs. Miller poured her a cup of herbal tea and suddenly said, 

“Maddie, about last time… I need to apologize to you.” 

Madeleine’s heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped her 

teacup. 

“It was like I was possessed back then.” 

Mrs. Miller shook her head with a wry smile. “I always felt that you and that boy, Edward, were a match made in heaven. Now 

that I think about it, it’s just…” 

She sighed and shook her head.

“I’d never wondered why I thought that way before. But when 

you asked me last time, it hit me. Right, why did I want you to be 

with Edward?” 

Madeleine’s hand tightened around her cup. 

“Mrs. Miller, did you know Edward before?” 

“Well… not really ‘knew‘ him. I met Edward once in Tuscany, 

years ago. He was just a poor student then. He was out of 

money and people were giving him trouble, so I stepped in and 

helped him.” 

Madeleine understood. 

Another NPC who bails out the male lead… 

So Mrs. Miller probably wasn’t too affected by the narrative 

control because her involvement with Edward wasn’t that deep. 

“Sigh, I don’t know what it was. Maybe I used to think that 

Edward was a nice boy, and that there was nothing wrong with 

you liking him and pursuing love, but now…” 

Mrs. Miller’s lips curved into a slight smile. “Maddie, who is it 

that you really like?” 

Chapter 139 

Pulled from her thoughts, Madeleine’s face immediately turned 

red. 

“I, uh, well, I’ll just have some tea.” 

Seeing her stammer and falter, Mrs. Miller, with all her 

experience, understood immediately. 

She smiled and nodded. 

“I only married Roderick’s father the year before last, so I don’t 

know much about your past, but I heard from him that you two 

were very much in love. I don’t know why things turned out the 

way they did, but at least things are good now.” 

Mrs. Miller patted Madeleine’s hand. “I can tell, Roderick really 

cares about you.” 

Madeleine’s heart warmed. 

“He does.” 

Roderick had never been stingy or tried to hide his love for her. 

… 

In the living room, Roderick was talking business with Rebecca when he seemed to sense something and zoned out for a 

Chapter 139 

moment. 

Rebecca waved her hand in front of his face. 

“What’s with you?” 

“Thinking about my wife.” 

Rebecca: … 

Roderick was never one to hide things from her and Bradley; he 

just said whatever came to mind. If he said he was thinking 

about his wife, he really meant it. 

The problem was, they’d only been apart for less than two 

minutes! 

Rebecca rolled her eyes to the heavens and took a deep breath. 

“I seriously can’t with you. Let’s get back to business! 

The group’s stock dropped the other day because of that news 

about Nanette, right? And the mole in the company is stirring up 

trouble again. When are we finally going to catch them? I can’t 

take it anymore, I’ve already lost a lot of money.” 

“Soon.” 

Chapter 139 

Roderick narrowed his eyes. “When does the bidding for the 

Northgate Tech Park project start?” 

“The end of this month.” 

Roderick nodded. “Good. Then we’ll close the net at the end of 

the month.” 

Dinner was specially prepared at home by a State Banquet chef, and Madeleine’s eyes were dazzled by the table of exquisite 

dishes. 

She sat beside Roderick, and seeing that everyone else was just talking and not touching their forks, she had to sit still as well. 

Owen was still talking about what happened last time, expressing his gratitude for Rebecca and Bradley’s help.
