The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 169

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 169

Chapter 169 

Roderick’s knuckles tightened, his hands gripping the steering 

wheel as a hostile energy filled him. 

He didn’t even take the time to drive the car into the garage. He 

stopped at the entrance, told the security guard to park it, and 

got out with the flowers in one hand. 

His eyes turned cold, his pace quickened, and the sound of his 

leather shoes on the marble floor was heavier than usual. 

As he pushed the door open, he heard Madeleine gently chiding 

her son, “It’s okay, Kev. This conversation isn’t for kids. Go back 

to your room for now.” 

After Roderick entered, his gaze immediately locked onto 

Edward in the center of the living room, who was standing in 

front of Madeleine with a somewhat condescending posture. 

Fiona was standing next to him, her brow slightly furrowed, lost 

in thought. 

“Daddy!” 

Kevin spotted Roderick and immediately ran over to tattle, “That 

Chapter 169 

bad uncle said he was going to touch Mommy.” 

Uh… 

Madeleine didn’t even have time to react. 

No, son, you misunderstood! 

Madeleine was suddenly at a loss, worried that Roderick would 

misunderstand something again. 

Just as she was thinking about how to explain, Roderick’s gaze 

fell on her, as gentle as the spring sunlight. 

He walked over, picking up his son with one arm, and handed 

the lilies to Madeleine with his other hand, his voice low and 

gentle. 

“Lilies are in season, blooming beautifully. Do you like them?” 

Madeleine took the bouquet of pink lilies, her fingertips gently 

brushing against the delicate petals, a soft smile blooming in 

her eyes. “I love them. They smell wonderful.” 

The corner of Roderick’s mouth curved up. He then used his 

free hand to cover Kevin’s eyes before leaning in to place a kiss 

on her lips.

The gesture was as natural as breathing, but it made Edward, 

who was standing opposite them, instantly clench his fists. 

He had never seen Madeleine look so shy and lovely. The 

woman who was once so obedient to him was now shining so 

brightly in front of another man. 

“Kirsten.” 

“Yes, sir.” 

Kirsten had been waiting nearby and came over immediately 

when she heard Roderick’s voice. 

“Take Kev back to his room for now.” 

“Alright.” 

Kirsten nodded, knowing it wasn’t good for the child to be 

present in such a situation, and quickly picked him up and 

headed for the elevator. 

Once the elevator doors closed, Roderick turned and glanced at 

Edward, his eyes filled with contempt as if he were looking at 

something dirty. 

“Aren’t you going to get lost? Or does Mr. Carroll not know 

Chapter 169 

where my front door is?” 

Edward’s face turned livid, veins bulging on his forehead. 

“Roderick, don’t be so arrogant!” 

“Arrogant? 

Mr. Carroll breaks into my home and harasses my wife, and I’m 

the arrogant one?” 

As the tension in the room mounted, Fiona, who had been 

silent, stepped forward. 

“Mr. Livingston, everything that just happened was a 

misunderstanding. I can vouch for it.” 

She pressed her lips together and said, “Edward didn’t do 

anything inappropriate to your wife. The child is young and just 

misheard.” 

Roderick shot Fiona a sideways glance but said nothing. 

He scoffed, “You’re quite generous, Miss Bell.” 

He finished, his gaze turning sharp. “But it’s not for an outsider 

to make excuses for my wife.” 

He turned and held out his hand to Madeleine.

Confused, Madeleine walked over, and he smoothly pulled her 

into his embrace. 

Roderick’s eyes were deep as he asked her, “Did Edward harass 

you?” 

Madeleine froze when she heard that. 

Uh, how should I put this? 

Was it harassment? 

I don’t think so… 

She shook her head. 

But Roderick saw those two seconds of hesitation, and his eyes 

filled with jealousy. 

When he looked up again, Roderick glared at Edward as if he 

wanted to eat him alive. 

He cracked his knuckles. 

“Mr. Carroll, want to fight?” 

Edward sneered and loosened his tie, “My thoughts exactly.” 

Chapter 169 

“No, no, no!” 

Madeleine dashed forward and clung to Roderick’s arm like a 

koala. “Honey, we live in a society with laws! 

You’ll go to jail for fighting!” 

Are you kidding me? Edward is the super–popular male lead. 

Roderick would only be at a disadvantage fighting him. You 

should just avoid trash when you see it. 

She pulled Roderick off balance. He looked down at the little 

woman hanging off his arm, his tone softening. “Let go first.” 

“I won’t.” 

Madeleine rubbed her face against his arm. “Would you really 

want to make me a widow?” 

Roderick’s brows furrowed. 

A widow? 

Did she have so little faith in him? 

Beside them, Fiona quickly grabbed Edward. “Edward, don’t be 

rash…” 

Chapter 169 

“Get lost.” 

Edward, already furious at Madeleine’s reaction, didn’t even 

notice who was pulling at him. He shoved her away violently, 

and Fiona twisted her ankle in her high heels, nearly falling over.
