The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 148

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 148

Madeleine raised an eyebrow and blinked a couple of times. 

“That’s such a coincidence. My husband was the one who 

picked this restaurant for me.” 

Fiona’s expression faltered. 

She admitted to herself that she had come over, all poised and 

graceful, just to see Madeleine lose her cool. 

After all, based on past experience, whenever she showed up, 

Madeleine’s gaze would shoot toward her like daggers. 

On the surface, the four secretaries maintained their 

professional smiles, but they were frantically exchanging 

glances. 

They didn’t know about other things, but they used to watch the 

drama unfold every day over the past rumors between Chase 

and that Mr. Carroll. 

They’d heard that Chase used to chase Mr. Carroll relentlessly… 

was completely obsessed… 

But looking at her now, that didn’t seem to be the case, right? 

Chapter 148 

Chase is so in love with her own CEO now! 

Fiona’s expression quickly returned to normal as she stepped 

forward with her wine glass. 

“Seeing you doing so well now, Madeleine, I’m really happy for 

you.” 

“For me?” 

Madeleine put on an innocent smile. 

“But I don’t think you and I know each other well, Fiona.” 

“We don’t, but in the past… you did like Edward, after all, 

Madeleine.” 

The moment Fiona said that, the air in the entire restaurant 

seemed to freeze. 

The four secretaries all gasped, and Sophia’s fork clattered 

onto her plate. 

But Madeleine started laughing, a crisp and pleasant sound, as 

if she’d heard a really funny joke. 

“Fiona.” 

Chapter 148 

She rested her chin on one hand, her eyes curving into 

crescents. “You’re saying I like Edward?” 

Fiona was taken aback by this reaction and nodded 

instinctively. “Everyone in high society knows…” 

“Is that so.” 

Madeleine picked up her phone and searched online for gossip 

about Fiona. 

A few baseless, slanderous headlines made Fiona’s expression 

darken a bit. 

She knew what Madeleine meant; she was denying that she had 

ever liked Edward. 

“They’re just rumors, you can’t believe them. Don’t look so 

upset, Fiona. I don’t believe them.” 

After saying that, Madeleine gave a brilliant smile and looked at 

her secretaries. “What do you all think?” 

Teresa and the others naturally sided with Madeleine, chiming 

in all at once. 

“That’s right, the internet is such a mess these days, people will

say anything.” 

“I’ll make a note of anyone who believes this fake news and sell 

them snake oil later.” 

“Our boss and Mr. Livingston have such a great relationship, why would she be interested in anyone else?” 

“Exactly.” 

Madeleine was quite pleased to hear this, tilting her head with a 

smile and blinking a couple of times at Fiona. 

Fiona’s previously gentle expression was finally starting to 

crack, and her hand holding the wine glass tightened slightly. 

What was wrong with her? 

To do something so irrational. 

Before, she had never considered Madeleine worth her notice. 

But at the last banquet, she saw Edward go to Madeleine, saw 

the undisguised admiration in his eyes, and for some reason, 

she panicked… 

Fiona felt like a clown right now. 

Chapter 148 

She didn’t say anything else, just forced an ugly smile. 

“That’s great, then. I wish Madeleine and Mr. Livingston a long 

and happy marriage.” 

With that, she tilted her head back and finished the red wine in 

her hand. 

When Fiona got back to her seat, her hand wasn’t steady, and 

her wine glass hit the table hard. 

She was trying her best to control her emotions, but she still 

couldn’t. 

“That Madeleine is just too much!” 

The woman next to her clenched her fist angrily, “Everyone 

knows how she used to chase after Mr. Carroll. Who is she 

trying to fool acting all high and mighty now?” 

“Fiona, should we teach her a lesson?” 

Fiona shot her a cold look. 

“Don’t cause trouble. Just eat!” 

She had already lost, and she didn’t want to get into any more 

messy situations. 

Chapter 148 

Those two friends were the type who always tried to suck up to 

Fiona. Seeing she wasn’t in a good mood, they didn’t dare say 

anything else. 

The two of them quickly tried to change the subject, hoping to 

cheer Fiona up. 

But the more they talked, the colder the atmosphere at the table 

became. 

Unlike them, the mood at Madeleine’s table was very 

harmonious. 

The secretaries and Madeleine were all around the same age, 

and now that they were away from the office, they talked more 

freely. 

They talked about everything, from complaining about 

colleagues and executives at the company to gossiping about 

which Hollywood Entertainment Industry star was caught dating 

or cheating. 

Madeleine listened with great interest, toasting them several 

times with juice instead of wine. 

When the meal was almost over, Madeleine got up to go to the 

restroom. 

Chapter 148 

Just as she went in, the two women who were with Fiona 

followed her inside.
