The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 143

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 143

Three seconds later. 

“Fuck!” 

Madeleine couldn’t hold back a curse, sitting up and turning to 

glare at Roderick. 

“And you said you didn’t drug me!” 

Roderick sighed helplessly, “Someone was clinging to me, so 

afraid I’d be snatched away, and somehow that’s my fault.” 

“How could I… possibly…” 

Madeleine said, her voice lacking conviction. 

After all, in that memory, she really had been upset because all 

the heiresses at the party had crushes on Roderick. 

Roderick reached out and tapped her on the nose. 

“You were such a little jealous thing back then.” 

Madeleine swatted his hand away irritably and made a face at 

Chapter 143 

Roderick. 

“Well, the tables have turned. Now you’re the jealous type.” 

“”‘The jealous type‘ is one thing, but what’s this about an ‘old 

jealous type‘?” 

Roderick was not happy with that nickname. 

He frowned. “I’m not that much older than you, am I?” 

“Never mind that. Just admit it, are you or aren’t you?” 

After a moment, Roderick nodded. “If it’s a term of endearment, 

I’ll reluctantly admit to it.” 

Madeleine’s lips twitched. 

Who calls ‘the jealous type‘ a term of endearment? 

“Then again, even if I am the jealous type, I’m not as bad as 

you. Who gets so jealous they end up marrying the guy?” 

Madeleine deflated when she heard that. 

It was true. How could she be so naive, getting jealous to the 

point of marrying him? 

Chapter 143 

She shot him a sideways glance. “You’re not one to talk, Mr. 

Livingston. I heard you transferred Meagan from the records. 

room to a branch office? 

Could it be because I had to hand off work to her every day?” 

After saying that, Madeleine had a smug look on her face, as if 

she’d just scored a point. 

“And I heard Meagan just graduated from college not long ago. 

A young, good–looking college kid, huh… a lot of colleagues 

were complimenting her.” 

With every word of praise from Madeleine, Roderick’s 

expression soured a little more. 

Looking at him now, calling him ‘the jealous type‘ was a 

compliment. 

“See? See! 

And you said you weren’t as bad as me. You’re the king of 

jealousy, got it?” 

If Madeleine had a tail, it would be sticking straight up in the air 

right now. 

Chapter 143 

Roderick narrowed his eyes, then reached up and loosened his 

tie. 

“You think I’m too nice, is that it?” 

Madeleine deliberately added fuel to the fire. “Did I hit a nerve, 

Mr. Livingston? Getting all defensive now? 

Oh, it’s fine. She might be young, but she’s not as mature as 

you. She might be good–looking, but she’s not as steady as 

you!” 

Roderick: … 

She might as well have just called him old. 

He reached out, hooked an arm around Madeleine’s neck, and 

pulled her close. Roderick leaned in, his dangerous aura 

instantly overwhelming her. 

“Fine. Since you’ve said it, it would be a shame for this ‘king of 

jealousy‘ not to do something to earn the title.” 

Madeleine’s heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, 

he swept her up into his arms. 

“Hey, what are you doing!” 

Chapter 143 

Madeleine was startled and quickly turned to look at the office 

door, terrified someone would barge in and see them. 

“After lunch, it’s time for a nap.” 

As soon as he finished speaking, the lounge door slammed 

shut with a bang. 

In the afternoon, Gerry came in with a document for Roderick to 

sign. 

Just as they were discussing work, the lounge door opened. 

Madeleine came out yawning, her eyes heavy with sleep. She 

waved at Gerry when she saw him. 

“Hi, Gerry.” 

Ever since she learned about Gerry’s background, Madeleine 

had been filled with respect and admiration for him. 

Whenever she ran into Gerry, she would beat around the bush 

asking how he studied, which always made him break out in a 

cold sweat, afraid that Daquan would ask to have him fired. 

Right now, Gerry’s attention was only on Mrs. Livingston’s lips. 

Chapter 143 

Why did they look… swollen? 

Gerry’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, “Mrs. 

Livingston, was the lunch not to your liking? 

Was it too spicy?” 

“Spicy? 

No, we had Cantonese–style dishes for lunch today.” 

“Oh, then why are your lips…” 

“You talk so much. Should I sign you up for a children’s hosting 

competition?” 

Roderick’s icy tone instantly cut Gerry off. 

A chill ran up his spine, and he shivered. 

Instantly, he realized Chase’s lips weren’t swollen from the 

spice. They were obviously from being kissed! 

Startled, Gerry turned to leave, but came back after taking two 

steps. 

“Sir, um, the signature…” 

Chapter 143 

Roderick quickly signed his name, tossed the document over, 

and gave him a warning look. 

Madeleine hadn’t caught on yet, her mind trying to figure out 

what was wrong with lunch. 

“Maybe you should touch up your lipstick or something.”
