The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 287

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 287

And his hand was tightly, carefully holding hers, as if it were a long–lost treasure he refused to let go of even in his sleep. 

She had actually… stayed by his side and fallen asleep slumped 

over like that? 

Bradley’s heart felt like it had been struck by something. A 

tender, aching emotion instantly spread through him, mixed 

with an indescribable heartache. 

Ox + 

He had been exhausted yesterday, grabbing her almost by 

instinct, not letting her leave, but he never expected she would 

actually indulge him like this, staying with him for so long in 

such an uncomfortable position. 

He moved slightly and found that his body, stiff from the deep 

sleep, had regained a good deal of strength. Although the 

fatigue was still there, he no longer felt as drained as before. 

He very slowly and carefully let go of Charlotte’s hand, afraid of 

waking her. 

Then, he propped himself up and sat up quietly.

Looking at the way she was slumped over asleep, Bradley’s 

brow furrowed slightly. 

Sleeping like this, she would definitely be sore all over when she 

woke up. 

Without much hesitation, he leaned down, carefully sliding one 

hand behind her neck and the other under her knees, and with 

the gentlest motion possible, scooped Charlotte up into his 

arms. 

Charlotte murmured unconsciously in her sleep, her head 

instinctively nuzzling into his chest for warmth, but she didn’t 

wake up. 

She seemed utterly exhausted, or perhaps just felt an 

inexplicable sense of peace by his side, sleeping soundly. 

Bradley’s heart melted completely at her unconscious act of 

dependence. 

He held his breath, as if holding fragile glass, and very slowly 

placed her in the center of the bed he had just left, which still 

held his warmth and scent. He pulled the thin blanket over, 

carefully tucking it up to her chin. 

After doing all this, he stood by the bed and watched her quietly

for a moment. 

In her sleep, Charlotte had shed her usual coldness and 

distance, looking exceptionally soft and gentle., 

A deep tenderness he himself hadn’t noticed flashed in 

Bradley’s eyes. He very lightly brushed the strands of hair from 

her cheek, his touch as gentle as if he were touching a beautiful 

dream. 

Then, he straightened up and glanced around the neat but 

somewhat impersonal apartment, toward the kitchen. 

She must be hungry. 

After watching over him for so long, she surely hadn’t eaten 

anything. 

Bradley turned and walked quietly to the kitchen. 

He opened the fridge. The ingredients weren’t plentiful, but 

there was enough to make something simple. 

He took out some eggs and a few simple vegetables, and 

began to prepare them with skilled, quiet movements. 

Before long, the faint aroma of food began to fill the apartment,

bringing the first touch of the warmth of worldly life into the 

cold space. 

The simple home–cooked meal was ready. As Bradley came out 

of the room with a bowl, he found that Charlotte had woken up 

at some point and was standing by the window, on the phone. 

“I know, Mom. Don’t worry, I won’t… be with him.” 

Bradley’s heart sank. 

Him. 

Was she talking about me? 

After speaking, Charlotte heard a noise behind her and 

awkwardly hung up. 

“You’re awake?” 

Bradley came over and put the plate on the table. 

“The fridge is so empty. You don’t usually cook?” 

“I’m usually busy with work, and… I just got back to the country 

and haven’t settled in yet.” 

Bradley’s words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed

them back down. 

He wanted to ask Charlotte what that phone call was about. 

Who was the person she couldn’t be with. 

He also wanted to ask her how long she planned to stay this 

time. 

He didn’t ask because right now, he just wanted to have a nice 

meal with Charlotte. 

He couldn’t remember the last time he’d had a peaceful meal 

with Charlotte. 

“When did you learn to cook?” 

Charlotte’s expression was still a bit unnatural. She quickly 

changed the subject, pulling out a chair with a smile and sitting 

down. 

On the table was a Tomato & Egg Stir–fry and some Sautéed 

Napa Cabbage. She’d forgotten when she even bought them. 

“The year you left.” 

Charlotte’s smile faltered slightly.

Then she put on a relaxed expression again. “See, what did I tell 

you? People grow up. Back then, with your rich–kid attitude, you 

probably couldn’t even serve rice, let alone cook.” 

“Yeah.” 

Bradley served Charlotte a bowl of rice and handed it to her, the 

corner of his mouth lifting slightly as he seemed to get lost in 

old memories. 

“In my first year of high school, my dad cut off my allowance 

and only let me eat at the cafeteria. I refused and almost 

starved to death.”
