The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 178

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 178

And the golden child just screwed it all up! 

Daniel looked at the golden child now, feeling the urge to 

strangle him. 

Jason, with his hands on his hips and still fuming, told Daniel 

and the others to get the hell out. 

“Damn it, I just got back and I already run into her. Talk about 

bad luck!” 

But even as he cursed, Jason thought about the way 

Madeleine’s eyes had glared at him, the sway of her hips as she 

walked away, and he couldn’t help but feel a stir inside. 

He smirked coldly. 

“Ten years ago, you had the guts to slap me. Now, it’s my turn.” 

A woman whose family was bankrupt… he could do whatever 

he wanted with her. 

Chapter 178 

Madeleine was still sulking when Roderick got home. 

Roderick had a work dinner that night and was a bit tired when 

he returned, but seeing Madeleine’s unhappy face, he 

immediately perked up. 

He put down his jacket and moved closer, reaching out to hug 

Madeleine. 

“What’s wrong? Who made you unhappy?” 

Before he could touch her, Madeleine pushed him away. 

Roderick’s eyes looked a little hurt. 

Madeleine had to explain, “You don’t smell good.” 

Roderick’s expression immediately relaxed. 

So that was the reason. 

Madeleine had never liked the smell of smoke and alcohol, ever 

since she was a child. 

She used to push her dad away as a kid, and now she was 

pushing him away. 

It was actually kind of cute. 

Chapter 178 

“Go take a shower first.” 

Madeleine realized she shouldn’t have taken that attitude with 

Roderick, and now she gave him an awkward little push. 

Roderick hadn’t actually drunk much or smoked, but in that kind 

of environment, the smell just seeped into you. 

He looked very wronged, with a pitiful expression on his face. 

“So tired.” 

“You have to shower even if you’re tired. Don’t you even have 

the strength to shower?” 

“Mmm.” 

Madeleine frowned, and after a moment, she realized he was 

doing it on purpose. 

She playfully punched his chest in annoyance. “Oh, get out of 

here. Can’t you see I’m unhappy? And you’re still teasing me.” 

Her hand had just landed when Roderick caught it. 

He held it against his chest, not letting her move it at all. 

“I can tell. Isn’t this me trying to cheer you up?” 

Chapter 178 

After speaking, he pulled her wrist, drawing her towards him, his 

voice low and husky. 

“Be a good girl and help me undress.” 

She was still holding in her anger, but hearing this, Madeleine 

couldn’t quite hold it in anymore. 

“Wait, you said you were cheering me up?” 

“I am. Isn’t this cheering you up?” 

Madeleine got heated. 

So his idea of cheering someone up was to have her help him 

undress? 

Roderick pressed Madeleine’s hand, moving it to the tie and 

buttons in front of him. 

Madeleine didn’t know what came over her, but as if by some 

strange impulse, she actually moved her fingers to unbutton it 

for him. 

Her warm fingertips, as they undid the buttons, intentionally or 

not, brushed against the skin of Roderick’s chest. 

Like a single spark, recklessly setting a prairie ablaze. 

Chapter 178 

Roderick’s breathing grew heavier. 

He really wanted to lean down and kiss her, but the thought that 

this girl would definitely find him disgusting made him give al 

helpless little laugh. 

In those few seconds he was lost in thought, Roderick 

discovered all his shirt buttons had been undone. 

Madeleine had also pulled out the hem of his shirt. 

Her gaze shamelessly sized up Roderick’s pecs and abs. 

Although she had snuck glances before and knew Roderick had 

a good body. 

But this was the first time she’d been this close, seeing it so 

clearly. 

Madeleine glanced at his abs, then suddenly reached out and 

touched them. 

They were hard. 

Her eyes lit up a bit. 

“They’re so hard. I used to have toned abs when I was dancing 

intensively, and they were hard too, but not this hard.” 

Chapter 178 

Roderick’s breath hitched at her sudden action, and his Adam’s 

apple bobbed. 

Hard? 

Mmm, somewhere else was even harder. 

He looked down at Madeleine, who was still curiously poking 

his abs, and his eyes darkened a few shades. 

His voice was low and husky, laced with a smile. “Like what you 

feel?” 

Only then did Madeleine realize what she was doing. Her ears 

burned, and she immediately pulled her hand back. 

She looked up, pretending to be calm. “Who likes it? I was just 

curious.” 

“Oh, you don’t like it…” 

Roderick sighed disappointedly, his voice turning strangely 

alluring, “If you don’t like it, you can just be curious.” 

He smiled, grabbed her wrist, and pressed her palm back. 

against his abs. 

“If you’re curious, feel all you want. It’s free.”
