The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 232

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 232

Chapter 232 

Leona took a step closer to Madeleine. 

“You probably don’t know, but I was later accepted into the 

Santorian Dance Academy.” 

Madeleine’s face was blank. 

“Is that so? Well, congratulations.” 

It was clear Leona didn’t come with good intentions, and 

Madeleine didn’t plan on wasting any more words on her. 

She planned to walk around Leona to get to her seat, but Leona 

turned and called out to her. 

“Madeleine.” 

Her voice was much colder than before. 

“I looked you up. You stopped dancing. Why?” 

Those words struck Madeleine like a bolt of lightning. 

Ever since she woke up with amnesia, this was the one thing 

Chapter 232 

Madeleine couldn’t accept. 

She had lost the thing she loved most and had taken a path 

completely different from the one she had imagined as a child. 

After realizing this was the narrative control, an unavoidable 

outcome, she could only keep telling herself to accept it. 

She had just managed to come to terms with it, but Leona’s 

words easily tore the scab right off. 

Simply because it was Leona, the rival she had once respected. 

When Madeleine didn’t answer, she narrowed her eyes and 

asked again: 

“I just saw you talking to a contestant. Are you… family?” 

“None of your business.” 

After a long moment, Madeleine stiffly forced out the words. 

“Are you sure?” 

Leona seemed to think of something, a slight smile playing on 

her lips as she pulled a work ID from her handbag. 

She was… a judge. 

Chapter 232 

Madeleine’s heart tightened instantly. 

Leona was very satisfied with Madeleine’s sudden change in 

expression. She dangled the work ID for a moment before 

putting it back in her bag. 

“So, is it still none of my business?” 

Madeleine’s nails dug into her palms. From the years she’d 

competed against Leona, she knew her well enough. 

She wouldn’t make pointless provocations. By revealing her 

identity now, Leona’s intention couldn’t be clearer. 

She was using Minerva, who was about to perform, to threaten 

Madeleine. 

“What do you want?” 

“Oh, nothing.” 

She scoffed, “I’m just curious. Just how talented can a 

contestant be to have the once high and mighty ballet princess, 

Madeleine, personally watch over her? I’ll be… paying special 

attention.” 

“Leona!” 

Chapter 232 

Madeleine’s breath hitched, and she grew anxious. 

“This is between us. Don’t drag someone uninvolved into this. 

And,” 

Madeleine gritted her teeth, “I always thought our relationship 

was purely competitive, that there was no bad blood between 

us.” 

Even with the rumors back then, she had never schemed 

against Leona because of them. 

But Leona looked as if she had just heard a hilarious joke. 

“A purely competitive relationship?” 

Her body shook with laughter. 

“Madeleine, do you really have the nerve to say that? 

All those rumors about your family bribing their way through the 

competition back then, you really think everyone forgot?” 

“You said it yourself, they were rumors.” 

Madeleine really didn’t expect Leona to remember it to this day. 

She felt annoyed. Society was always like this; once your name 

Chapter 232 

was dragged through the mud, it was impossible to get clean. 

Leona took a deep breath. 

“Forget it, it’s depressing to talk about that stuff. It’s enough to 

know you’re not qualified to be my rival anymore.” 

She turned her head, looking at the stage in the distance. 

“Back when you had the best resources and everyone put you 

on a pedestal, you probably never imagined this day would 

come, did you?” 

Madeleine gritted her teeth, a tightness in her chest. 

Words from someone who knew you best always cut the 

deepest. 

“If I had known back then that you were so fragile, not even 

worthy of being my rival…” 

Leona turned her head back but didn’t finish her sentence. 

But the unfinished sentence was more suffocating than any 

vicious words. 

She gave Madeleine one last glance, her expression a complex 

mix of triumph, disdain, and a barely perceptible trace of old 

Chapter 232 

resentment, long buried by time. 

“Take a good look. See who’s standing at the top now.” 

After saying that, she didn’t linger, turning and walking toward 

the judges‘ exclusive passageway. 

Madeleine just stood there, frozen. 

Leona’s words were like icicles, piercing the most painful spot 

in her heart. 

More and more people filled the venue, and the surrounding 

noise grew louder. 

But all those sounds became increasingly blurry to Madeleine. 

Her blood ran cold until music started playing in the venue, and 

Madeleine snapped out of it, numbly walking to her seat in the 

front row. 

After calming down, Madeleine looked at the five judges; 

several were big shots in the dance world. 

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. 

No matter how malicious Leona was, she probably wouldn’t 

mess with Mina’s score at a time like this.

Besides, she was confident in Minerva’s abilities.
