The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 157

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 157

Chapter 157 

Madeleine bit her lower lip and nodded lightly. 

Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it would burst out of her 

chest. 

“So… are you scared?” 

Madeleine’s heart beat faster. 

She didn’t say anything, just nodded again. 

Roderick couldn’t help but laugh, his voice husky and alluring. 

He leaned down and reverently kissed Madeleine’s forehead. 

“We’ll take it slow.” 

After he spoke, his kisses traveled down, over her eyes, the tip 

of her nose, and finally rested on her lips, light and gentle. 

His hands weren’t idle either, deftly untying the belt of her 

bathrobe. 

Although the room was warm, it was no match for the heat of 

Madeleine’s body.

When her skin met the air, she still shivered uncontrollably. 

Their breaths tangled together, like an inescapable fate. 

Like the spray of waves, like the tide. 

It surged upward, bit by bit, wave after wave, devouring the 

reason in her mind. 

Madeleine had no strength left. In the end, she didn’t even 

know how she managed to whisper the word “scared” to 

Roderick in a breathy, tearful voice. 

His breathing was heavy as he buried his face in the crook of 

Madeleine’s neck for a long time. 

Finally, he lifted his head, gazing at her for a moment in the dim 

light, and then gave a helpless smile. 

“Okay, we’ll stop.” 

He rolled over to lie beside her, pulling her into his arms. Her 

warm breath brushed against his ear. 

“But you have to help me.” 

Madeleine’s mind had already gone blank from his coaxing, 

unable to think.

He didn’t even wait for Madeleine to respond, decisively taking 

her hand and guiding it. 

Madeleine’s hand instantly turned so red it looked like it would 

bleed. 

She felt like maybe the heat was turned up a little too high. 

It seemed a little hot. 

She felt her back was getting a little sweaty… 

Mmm, Roderick was sweating too. 

She leaned over and licked his Adam’s apple, hearing Roderick 

let out a low groan. Only one thought flashed through her mind. 

I have to turn down the heat, or we’ll both just get hotter and 

hotter… 

Soon. 

Madeleine felt her arm getting even more sore. 

She whined softly, “Roderick, my hand is sore.” 

He leaned in and coaxed, “Good girl, keep going.”

When she opened her eyes again, Madeleine felt like her whole 

body had fallen apart. She reached out a hand; Roderick must 

have been up for a while. 

She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling as the sensual 

scenes from last night began to replay in her mind. 

“Ah…” 

She pulled the blanket over her head to hide her burning 

cheeks. Madeleine felt so embarrassed. 

But then she had another thought. 

For Roderick, this was nothing. In her past memories, it wasn’t 

like the two of them hadn’t done it before. 

Thinking this way, Madeleine felt less shy. 

She sat up in bed and noticed her foot was neatly wrapped in a 

layer of breathable gauze, and the scent of cooling ointment 

hung in the air. 

This is… 

Chapter 157 

Madeleine froze. After last night, she had been so tired she was 

about to pass out. 

It was Roderick who had gotten up to clean her hand, and 

afterward, she vaguely remembered someone lifting her ankle. 

It seemed Roderick had put the medicine on for her then. 

Madeleine wiggled her toes and grinned foolishly. 

Who would have thought she and her sworn enemy could have 

such a loving day. 

Oh, if only something like the Time Travel genre really existed. 

Then she would definitely travel back to her childhood, run up to 

that troublemaking, hell–raising little Ricki, put her hands on her 

hips, and tell him. 

“You’re so annoying now, but you’re going to pay for it later!” 

Just thinking about it made Madeleine chuckle. 

She got up and stretched, and the soreness from dancing last 

night finally felt much better. 

Madeleine changed and went downstairs, her mind 

preoccupied with how to act natural around Roderick, only to

find him watching Kirsten and Roy clean. 

It wasn’t just them; Kevin and Minerva, the two little ones, were 

also being bossed around by Roderick. 

Madeleine scratched her head, completely baffled. 

Is it Labor Day today? 

“You’re awake?” 

Roderick noticed her, and as he walked over, his eyes were 

fixed on Madeleine’s feet. 

“Does it hurt? 

You’ve got a lot more scrapes.” 

“It doesn’t hurt. This is nothing.” 

Afraid her cousin Minerva would make fun of her, Madeleine 

waved her hand dismissively. “Back in the day, I finished a 

whole dance routine on a sprained ankle. This is nothing.” 

“Good, as long as it doesn’t hurt. Go have some breakfast.” 

“What about you guys?”

Minerva, who was helping water the plant on the table, looked 

over with a helpless expression.
