The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 175

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 175

Madeleine just remembered. Oh, right, she was here on a 

mission today. 

Her mom, the matchmaker, would definitely be asking about it 

later. 

“Why wouldn’t it work out?” 

Madeleine pushed aside the plant and peeked over again. 

“They look like they’re getting along just fine.” 

After Charlotte left, Isabella and Bradley continued talking as if 

nothing had happened. Isabella would grin from time to time, 

showing her canine teeth as she smiled. 

And looking at Bradley across from her, he also looked relaxed, as if he hadn’t been affected by Charlotte’s appearance at all. 

“Listen carefully to what they’re talking about.” 

Madeleine perked up her ears, trying hard to catch their 

conversation.

“Speaking of which, my professor had a really interesting case 

last week. A rare alkaloid was found in the deceased’s stomach 

contents, but the toxicology screen didn’t show any 

corresponding toxin.” 

Bradley frowned. “Alkaloid structures are unstable. It might 

have degraded during metabolism. When you did the pathology 

slides, did you find any crystal deposits in the liver?” 

“We did! 

The liver sinusoids were full of needle–like crystals, like it was 

snowing. But my professor said it was preservative residue…” 

Bradley chuckled. “What a coincidence. I heard from a 

colleague in internal medicine that the ER admitted a patient 

the day before yesterday. Their urine test showed similar 

crystals, and it turned out they’d taken some kind of diet pill…” 

Madeleine pulled back, a speechless look on her face. 

“What kind of normal person talks about this stuff on a blind 

date?” 

Rebecca had an I–told–you–so look on her face and chuckled. “When those two talk about human bodies and corpses, they 

get more excited than anyone. There’s absolutely no desire for 

Chapter 175 

the opposite sex in their eyes.” 

“True.” 

Madeleine sighed. “Then I’ll just tell my mom they didn’t hit it 

off.” 

“Don’t. If you say that now, your auntie might just try even 

harder, believe it or not.” 

Madeleine stared at Rebecca for a moment, then a knowing 

smile spread across her face. “I knew it, Rebecca! You’ve 

definitely suffered through blind dates before!” 

Rebecca looked like she was about to roll her eyes into the back 

of her head again. 

Hitting me right where it hurts. 

“You think everyone’s as lucky as you, finding true love so early 

and avoiding all this trouble.” 

Even though it was a complaining tone, why did it sound so 

sweet to Madeleine? 

She lowered her head with a shy smile, her little dimples 

appearing, and the sight made even Rebecca’s heart soften. 

Chapter 175 

Before, she thought Roderick must have been crazy to fall for 

her. 

Now, she felt that Roderick, that lucky guy, had really lucked 

out. 

After dinner, Bradley and Isabella made plans to go see the 

mummy museum. 

“Still following them, Reporter Madeleine?” 

Rebecca asked Madeleine, tilting her chin up. 

“Nope, not following.” 

“What, scared of mummies?” 

Madeleine pouted. “What’s there to be scared of? I have other 

things to do.” 

Her time was precious now. Of course she didn’t go out just to 

watch the drama unfold and get some gossip. 

Madeleine turned her phone around and showed it to Rebecca. 

“Rebecca, do you know Hengrong International Plaza?” 

“Yeah, it’s the best value for an office building. It’s close to 

Chapter 175 

downtown, and the price is a lot lower than downtown.” 

After saying that, Rebecca seemed to figure something out and 

looked up at Madeleine. 

“Roderick told me you were starting a business. Are you looking 

to rent a place now?” 

Madeleine grinned and nodded. “I’ve looked at a bunch of 

places, and Heng Rong is the best fit. They still have two floors 

available to lease.” 

Rebecca thought it was odd. “Roderick is in real estate himself. He could just give you a plot of land to build an office building. 

Why bother spending money to rent?” 

“It’s not the same.” 

Madeleine shook her head. “That’s Roderick’s. What’s mine is 

mine, and what’s his is his.” 

Something snapped in Rebecca’s mind, and she blurted out 

without thinking, “Are you worried about dividing assets if you 

get divorced?” 

“Rebecca!” 

Chapter 175 

Madeleine got worked up and glared at her, annoyed. 

“Are you even my best friend anymore? How could you jinx us 

into getting a divorce! 

?” 

“Just kidding, just kidding.” 

Rebecca gave a rare, placating smile. 

“I was just teasing you.” 

She really had just said it off the cuff; she’d guessed what 

Madeleine meant as soon as she said it. 

Of course she supported her starting her own business. 

“I’m planning to go check out Heng Rong this afternoon. Are 

you free to come with me?” 

“This afternoon…” 

Rebecca glanced at her phone. “I have something at three- thirty. I can stay with you until three.” 

“Okay, then you can head back first. I’ll have the driver come pick me up after I’m done.”
