The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 158

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 158

“We already ate, Madeleine. If you’d woken up any later, my 

aunt and uncle would already be here.” 

Madeleine froze. “My parents are coming?” 

“Yeah. They were supposed to go on a trip this weekend, but 

their flight was canceled due to bad weather, so I invited them 

over.” 

Madeleine paused, looking around the spotless house. “Don’t 

tell me you’re doing all this cleaning just because they’re 

coming?” 

“Yeah.” 

Madeleine laughed dryly. “You really don’t have to go to all this 

trouble. My parents aren’t picky or neat freaks.” 

Roderick looked at her and replied seriously, “Even so, I will 

always treat their visits as an important occasion.” 

Because they are her parents. 

People who are important to her. 

Chapter 158 

To Roderick, they are just as important. 

Madeleine didn’t know what to say. 

Now when she looked at Roderick, she found him perfect in 

every way. 

Thinking this, Madeleine grinned. 

“Then I’ll join in too.” 

။ 

“You don’t have to. Go eat.” 

Minerva looked over, displeased. “Why doesn’t Madeleine have 

to? I’m already helping. Brother–in–law, you’re using child labor, 

that’s illegal!” 

Roderick turned and said coolly, “Then do you still want the 

concert tickets?” 

That shut Minerva up. She immediately started spraying the plants in her hand with more energy. 

After all, her brother–in–law was her most powerful connection. 

Every time she chased her idols, she could get a close–up view 

thanks to him. 

Madeleine was urged to go eat breakfast. The breakfast Kirsten 

Chapter 158 

prepared was low–calorie and delicious, and Madeleine praised 

it repeatedly as she ate. 

Kirsten was even happier to be praised. 

“As long as you like it. I’ve been researching a lot of nutritious 

meal recipes lately, especially postpartum recovery meals. They’re delicious.” 

“Pfft…” 

Madeleine almost spat out a mouthful of water. 

“Post…partum recovery meals?!” 

Kirsten came over to clear the table with a smile, completely 

oblivious to Madeleine’s face instantly turning red. 

“Yeah, they’ll always come in handy. But you don’t have to worry 

about it. Reproductive freedom, we won’t say anything out of 

line.” 

“Reproductive freedom“… right. 

Madeleine gave a dry laugh and nodded, not continuing the 

conversation. 

Not long after breakfast, the sound of a car came from outside. 

Chapter 158 

It seemed Madeleine’s parents had arrived. 

Madeleine hadn’t seen her parents in a few days, so she eagerly 

ran outside. 

It wasn’t that Madeleine didn’t want to see them. Every time she 

suggested visiting them over the weekend or after work, the old 

couple would hastily say they were busy. 

At first, Madeleine thought that since they were in a better 

mood now, they must have more recreational activities. 

Only after asking for details did she find out. 

They did have more recreational activities. The two of them had 

gotten into playing Poker… 

After Madeleine found out, she couldn’t help but sigh and 

complain to Roderick. 

Somehow, Poker had become more important than their own 

daughter. 

She ran out and joyfully threw herself into her parents‘ arms. 

“Mom, Dad, I missed you so much.” 

“Sweet daughter, we missed you too.” 

Chapter 158 

Clarissa chuckled and reached out to pinch Madeleine’s cheek. 

“Not bad, not bad. My daughter is looking better and better.” 

Hearing this, Madeleine looked as if her world was ending. 

Around here, saying someone is “looking better” is just a nice 

way of saying they’ve put on weight. 

Madeleine quickly patted herself down. 

“I got fat!? Seriously? Oh my god, why did I eat that half a cake 

yesterday.” 

Harold gave Clarissa an annoyed look after hearing that. 

“Look what you said. You scared the kid. Where did she get fat? 

My daughter is so slim, takes after me!” 

“Takes after you? I can’t even be bothered to mention that beer 

belly you’ve grown since you retired.” 

“Hey, you’re one to talk. You’ve got a dowager’s hump.” 

“No, no, this won’t do. Starting tomorrow, let’s play one less 

hour of Poker and go running, do Tai Chi, or go public square 

dancing.” 

Chapter 158 

The couple went back and forth, no one noticing Madeleine’s 

breakdown at that moment. 

Madeleine: … 

Fortunately, Roderick came over just then, walked up behind 

her, and whispered, “You haven’t gained weight. Your waist is 

even slimmer.” 

Madeleine’s face flushed, and worried her parents would see, she shot Roderick an annoyed glare. 

But the culprit straightened up, pretending not to notice, with a 

smile playing on his lips. 

“Mom, Dad, let’s go inside. I just made some tea.” 

“Good, good. It’s been a while since we’ve had Roderick’s tea.” 

“Yes, you two haven’t been over for a while.” 

“How’s your father?” 

“He’s doing great.” 

“And Mrs. Miller? 

She’s an older mother–to–be, so she has to be careful about 

Chapter 158 

everything.” 

Roderick nodded, replying as he followed them inside, “I hired a 

professional team for their in–home care, and they have regular 

check–ups. There are no issues.”
