The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 188

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash `188

Figuring he’d be taking Madeleine out the next day, Roderick 

didn’t wear her out too much that night. 

After they finished, he carried her limp body to the bathroom 

and gently washed her. 

“Ricki.” 

Madeleine was tired and sleepy, leaning against Roderick and 

mumbling indistinctly. 

Roderick couldn’t help but laugh, lowering his head to kiss her 

forehead. 

“What’s wrong, Kev?” 

“I just wanted to call your name.” 

Madeleine grinned, rambling on with her eyes closed, “Actually, 

I’ve been remembering a lot of things from before lately.” 

Roderick’s fingertips paused, and he listened intently. 

“I’m sorry for making you so sad for so long before. I didn’t 

Chapter 188 

want to, really. Treating you all like that made me sad too…” 

“Kev, let’s not talk about it.” 

Roderick cupped her cheek with one hand, his thumb stroking her closed eyelid. 

“All the unhappy things are in the past, aren’t they? Let’s not 

bring them up.” 

Madeleine nodded, but couldn’t help speaking again, “Actually, 

there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you.” 

“Go ahead and ask.” 

“You’re so nice to me now, why did you always bully me 

before?” 

Roderick’s movements stopped, a hint of helplessness in his 

expression. 

“Was it just me bullying you? 

Didn’t you go against me too?” 

Madeleine thought about it and realized he had a point. 

She’d had a competitive streak since she was a kid; if anyone 

Chapter 188 

ever bullied her, she’d make sure to pay them back double. 

She grinned a little awkwardly. 

“You’ve known me for so many years, how could you not know 

my personality? Besides, I’m a girl, you should’ve gone easy on 

me.” 

Roderick chuckled and clicked his tongue. “If I had known back 

then that you’d be my wife, I would have definitely protected 

you.” 

In fact, that’s what Roderick had thought back then. 

It’s just that young love is always a bit hard to figure out. 

You clearly want to get closer to someone, but when you 

actually meet, you just end up being confrontational to get their 

attention. 

Fortunately, the final outcome was good. 

That’s enough. 

The next day. 

Chapter 188 

When Roderick woke up, he saw a message from Rebecca. 

First, she complained about his terrible behavior of arriving late 

and leaving early yesterday, then she sent over the information 

about the Klein family. 

Just as Roderick had guessed, the Klein family had been 

expanding recklessly for the past two years, and their finances 

were already in trouble. 

But now, backed by several banks and investment firms, they 

were planning to use the entire second half of the year to stage 

a comeback. 

A comeback? 

Not so easy. 

Daring to bully his wife and thinking they could get away with it 

was just a dream. 

Roderick casually forwarded the files from Rebecca to Gerry. 

Gerry: [Boss, what are your orders?] 

Roderick: [Contact these banks and investment firms. If they 

dare to fund the Klein group, they can expect me to cut ties.] 

Chapter 188 

On the other end of the line, Gerry was completely clueless at 

that moment. 

How did he not know the company was targeting the Klein 

group recently? 

Early in the morning, Rebecca showed up outside the lab with 

dark circles under her eyes. 

She stood by the roadside and yawned, looking utterly 

exhausted. 

“Roderick, you’re something else…” 

Rebecca really couldn’t take it anymore, still cursing under her 

breath. 

If she hadn’t remembered she had things to do today and 

couldn’t help him with his research, would she have stayed up 

half the night? 

Just as she let out her fifth yawn, Adrian showed up. 

He pulled up next to Rebecca in a Land Rover, which was 

completely out of character for him. 

Chapter 188 

The window rolled down. Adrian’s hair, which he usually wore 

down, was slicked back, instantly elevating his look, especially 

paired with a crisp black and white dress shirt. 

Rebecca froze for a couple of seconds when she saw him. 

This… 

Is that still the same old fossil? 

“Professor… Shaw?” 

“Don’t you recognize me?” 

Adrian smiled gently, and his familiar voice instantly snapped 

Rebecca out of it. 

She laughed awkwardly and shook her head, “No, no, how could 

I not recognize you, Professor Shaw? I just think you look very 

different.” 

“Get in first.” 

Rebecca nodded and walked around to open the passenger 

side door. 

Just as she was about to open the door, she remembered how Roderick wouldn’t let her sit in his passenger seat, insisting it 

Chapter 188 

was reserved for Madeleine. 

“Uh… Professor Shaw, your girlfriend won’t get mad if I sit in the 

passenger seat, will she?” 

“Girlfriend?” 

Adrian broke into a mysterious smile. “Don’t you know whether I 

have a girlfriend?” 

Rebecca suddenly felt that awkward feeling of being seen right 

through. 

But when she looked again, Adrian was back to his usual, plain 

self.
