The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 140

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 140

“With you two as Roderick’s closest friends, I can finally relax a 

bit.” 

Owen let out a long sigh as he spoke. 

“This kid can be reckless sometimes, so please keep an eye on 

him.” 

Madeleine had heard these words since she was a child. 

Roderick’s father had always been strict with him, otherwise he 

wouldn’t have gotten so many spankings as a kid. 

But hearing him say that now, Madeleine felt a little indignant. 

How is the Roderick of today reckless? 

He manages such a huge corporation and still takes such good 

care of his family. He’s the model of a good man, okay? 

Of course, she didn’t dare say this in front of Owen, just pouted 

and grumbled to herself. 

“By the way, Rebecca, your dad was fishing with me the other 

Chapter 140 

day and asked if you’ve been dating anyone recently.” 

“Pfft…” 

Rebecca turned her head and spat out the mouthful of tea she 

had just sipped. 

Bradley, sitting next to her, also had an amused look on his 

face. 

“Owen, are you kidding? Our career woman Rebecca doesn’t 

have time for dating.” 

“She doesn’t?” 

Mrs. Miller gently asked from the side, “Then why does Rebecca 

look a little different today? She even came and asked me how 

to dress to look more gentle.” 

Mrs. Miller smiled as she spoke. 

“I thought Rebecca had finally seen the light.” 

Rebecca, who was usually so composed in everything she did, 

couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward now. 

To say she was dating… not really. 

Chapter 140 

To say she wasn’t… she was indeed trying to flirt with a man. 

Tsk, it’s hard to explain. 

“That’s not true, Owen. Don’t listen to my dad’s nonsense. He’s 

just desperate for a grandchild.” 

Rebecca forced a laugh and chugged another mouthful of tea. 

Owen raised an eyebrow, looking smug. “Well, your dad must be 

desperate. After all, he’s not like me. I’m surrounded by children 

and grandchildren, while your dad only has you, his one 

daughter.” 

Rebecca’s mouth twitched. 

Sometimes, she really couldn’t understand men’s 

competitiveness. 

After forcing a few laughs to brush it off, Rebecca shifted the 

topic to Bradley. 

Owen immediately shifted his fire, lecturing Bradley with the 

same old lines about not messing around all the time and 

settling down to date and get married. 

Rebecca remembered the moments post she’d made earlier 

Chapter 140 

and couldn’t resist opening her phone to check. 

Still no ‘like‘. 

Tsk… 

Madeleine’s stomach had been growling for a while, so she 

could only rest her chin on her hand and listen to them talk. 

Seeing Rebecca frowning at her phone, she couldn’t help but 

lean over curiously. 

“What are you looking at?” 

The screen went dark quickly, but Madeleine still noticed the 

beautiful figure in green on it. 

It was a selfie of Rebecca. 

“Huh, you posted on your moments? 

How come I didn’t see it.” 

Rebecca was a little embarrassed, opened her phone again, and 

said in a muffled voice, “It’s only visible to one person.” 

“That old fossil? 

Chapter 140 

!” 

“Yeah.” 

The two of them whispered very quietly so no one else could 

hear. 

Madeleine leaned over to look at the caption she posted and 

couldn’t help but laugh out loud. 

“Only idiots look without liking. Where’d you find this caption?” 

“Online, obviously.” 

Rebecca went back and showed Madeleine the website where 

she found the caption. 

100 Moments Captions to Flirt with Your Crush 

Madeleine scrolled down a bit, and it was all aggressive/risqué 

language. Good thing Rebecca picked the most innocent one. 

The corner of her mouth twitched. 

“This is so wild. You think an old fossil will get it?” 

Madeleine snickered and gave Rebecca an idea. 

Chapter 140 

She frowned after hearing it. “Are you sure this will work?” 

“It’ll work, it’ll definitely work!” 

Based on all the novels and TV shows she’d been watching 

lately, this trick was foolproof. 

Rebecca thought for a moment and decided to give it a try. 

She opened her chat with Professor Shaw. The last message was from yesterday when she’d sent him the lab files. 

Taking a deep breath, Rebecca sent him the same photo she’d 

posted to her moments. 

She counted for a few seconds, about to unsend it, when Madeleine pressed her hand down. 

“Whoa, not so fast. You have two minutes to unsend it.” 

Keeping an eye on the timer, Rebecca finally hit unsend at one 

minute and fifty–something seconds. 

Sure enough, less than a minute after she unsent it, a reply 

came through. 

Professor Shaw: ? 

Chapter 140 

Rebecca’s eyes lit up. She turned to Madeleine and asked, “He 

just sent a question mark. How should I reply?” 

“Just say you sent it to the wrong person.” 

Rebecca nodded and typed. 

Professor Shaw: Who were you planning to send it to. 

Rebecca: A friend. 

The other person is typing…
