The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 223

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 223

Chapter 223 

Her heart ached unbearably…. 

On Monday, a vice president at the Livingston Group quietly submitted his resignation, citing a family emergency. 

The HR department reported that he was eager to leave, saying the remaining procedures could be handled online. 

The HR manager reminded him with a smile, “Carolyn Martinez, 

our company doesn’t have a process for that. Please wait a 

little while.” 

Hearing this, Carolyn could only nod awkwardly, sitting down 

and nervously wiping the sweat from his forehead. 

Just a few minutes after he sat down, the door to the HR 

department opened. 

Several uniformed investigators entered and walked straight toward Carolyn. 

“You’re Carolyn, right?” 

“Yes, that’s me.” 

Chapter 223 

“We received a tip that you’re suspected of leaking secrets from 

the Livingston Group. Please come with us to cooperate with 

the investigation.” 

In an instant, Carolyn’s face turned deathly pale. 

His body went limp, and he was practically dragged out by the 

investigators. 

Everyone at the Livingston Group came out to watch the 

commotion, unable to resist whispering among themselves. 

“What happened to Carolyn? Did he get into some trouble?” 

“I heard he leaked company secrets. It must be about that last 

bid.” 

“Oh my god, so Carolyn was the mole in the company? 

Then he must have been behind that incident with the branch 

office, too.” 

“Definitely. And to think we’ve been wrongly accusing Chase all 

this time…” 

“That’s horrible. Good thing it didn’t affect the relationship 

between the CEO and Chase.” 

Chapter 223 

At this moment, the CEO’s wife they were talking about, 

Daquan, was cuddling in the office. 

When Gerry came in to report on the matter, he didn’t know 

where to look. 

“Um, Roderick, the person has been taken away. I’ll follow up on 

the situation later and report back if there are any issues.” 

On the sofa, the two of them were sitting together, with 

Madeleine completely encircled in Roderick’s arms, looking at 

the same phone. 

Hearing Gerry’s words, Roderick didn’t even lift his head. 

“Got it.” 

“Okay. By the way, Roderick… um.” 

Gerry rubbed his nose. “About that paid leave you mentioned 

last time… was that for real?” 

Madeleine looked up when she heard this. 

“Paid leave? 

Chapter 223 

That’s great. But Gerry has been working so hard, he really 

should take some time to relax.” 

Gerry was so moved he could have cried. 

It was worth bringing it up specifically while Chase was present. 

Chase really was the best human shield! 

Roderick looked up, glancing first at Madeleine, then turning his 

head to look at Gerry. 

“What, you think I’d go back on my word?” 

“No, no, of course not!” 

Gerry smiled awkwardly. 

Roderick saw right through my little scheme~ 

Roderick looked away and said calmly and generously, “Two 

weeks at most. I’ll reimburse your expenses personally.” 

Gerry’s eyes instantly lit up. 

“Thank you, Roderick! 

Thank you, Chase!” 

Chapter 223 

Long after Gerry had left, Madeleine still hadn’t processed it, 

asking Roderick strangely: 

“Why was he thanking me for no reason?” 

“I don’t know.” 

Roderick shrugged, and the two of them went back to cuddling 

and looking at the phone. 

Not two days later, Madeleine was starting to regret speaking 

up for Gerry and getting him the time off. 

No one had told her how busy Roderick would become without 

Gerry around 

He usually completed most of his daily work with Gerry’s help. 

Without his right–hand man, most of the work now fell to 

Roderick himself. 

Madeleine had also asked if he didn’t have any other special 

assistants besides Gerry. 

There really weren’t any. 

It turned out Gerry’s experience wasn’t something just anyone 

Chapter 223 

could replace. 

As a result, Roderick was so swamped he didn’t even have time 

to eat his meals at home. 

The person happiest about this was Kevin. 

“Mommy~” 

The little guy held up the drawing he’d made in kindergarten. 

and excitedly went to find Madeleine. 

Madeleine was looking at some documents with a serious face, 

but when she heard her son’s sweet voice, she immediately put 

them down and put on a happy smile. 

“Kev, you’re back.” 

“Yeah!” 

Kevin held the drawing up for Madeleine. 

“Look, Mom, I drew you.” 

Madeleine took it happily. The drawing showed her holding 

Kevin’s hand, surrounded by colorful flowers and plants. 

Looking at the drawing, Madeleine had mixed feelings. 

Chapter 223 

She remembered a few months ago, when Nanette pointed to a 

dark, messy blob of a drawing and said it was Kevin’s drawing 

of his mom. 

Madeleine had felt her heart break. 

Now, finally… 

The bitter times were finally over. Her relationship with her son 

was mended, and his psychological problems had been treated. 

According to her last conversation with the doctor, if Kevin’s 

condition showed signs of improvement, she wouldn’t need to 

worry anymore. 

After all, his condition had been so severe back then, mostly 

due to Nanette’s brainwashing.
