The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 298

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 298

Chapter 298 

“Who’s this?” 

Madeleine looked completely lost. 

“My mom.” 

“Your mom! 

?” 

Madeleine’s jaw almost hit the floor. 

Madeleine snatched the phone, her eyes wide, almost burning a 

hole through the screen. 

The woman in the photo was wearing a sharp riding outfit, 

sitting straight and tall on a large, handsome horse, with a vast 

pasture and blue sky in the background. 

She had deep–set eyes, a high–bridged nose, and thin, sexy lips. 

Her thick, dark brown curly hair was casually tied back, with a 

few loose strands falling by her cheeks. She radiated a wild, 

untamed, and vibrant beauty. 

Chapter 298 

This was the complete opposite of Mrs. Miller’s gentle, classic 

Southern grace–they had nothing in common! 

“This is your mother?” 

Madeleine’s voice changed pitch, filled with disbelief. “But… but 

Mrs. Miller, she…” 

Her mind was a complete mess. 

Why had she always thought Mrs. Miller and Roderick’s mother 

looked so much alike in her memory? 

And why had she felt an inexplicable closeness and trust 

towards Mrs. Miller because of it? 

Roderick looked at his wife’s shocked, almost stunned 

expression. He frowned, sensing something was wrong. 

He took Madeleine’s hand, his tone becoming serious and 

concerned. “Madeleine, why would you think Mrs. Miller and my 

mom look alike?” 

“I, I don’t know…” 

Madeleine shook her head blankly. The fragmented memories 

of Roderick’s mother and Mrs. Miller’s faces overlapping in her 

Chapter 298 

mind began to blur, even contradict each other, making her feel 

dizzy. 

“I just, I think I’ve always had this impression… that they looked 

alike, so…” 

That’s why she had so naturally accepted Mrs. Miller’s presence, even becoming especially dependent on her because 

of that strange sense of “familiarity.” 

Madeleine’s head suddenly started to hurt. Her childhood 

memories were changing, bit by bit. 

No, to be precise, the image of Roderick’s mother in her memory was changing, bit by bit! 

A chill crept silently up Madeleine’s spine. 

Was it the influence of the narrative control? 

During all those years she was being controlled, had even such 

a subtle perception been altered? 

To make her accept Mrs. Miller without question? 

To accept this person the narrative control had placed by her 

side? 

Chapter 298 

“Roderick…” 

Madeleine’s voice held a faint tremor. She instinctively 

squeezed his hand back tightly, as if it were her only lifeline. “I… 

I think I’ve gotten some things wrong again…” 

Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with confusion and 

lingering fear. 

Roderick’s heart sank. 

He pulled Madeleine tightly into his arms, his large hand patting 

her back soothingly. 

“Is this about… that thing you never want to talk about?” 

Madeleine’s body stiffened almost imperceptibly in Roderick’s 

embrace. 

Those terrifying memories she had forcibly suppressed–about 

the “narrative control,” the “awakening,” and the “aftereffects“— 

gripped her in an instant. 

Zoe’s crazed face, her incoherent screams, her struggles as she 

was forced onto a stretcher… it all flooded her mind like an icy 

tide, making her shudder. 

Chapter 298 

She had “amnesia,” Zoe had “gone mad“… so what about 

Roderick? 

If she told him this bizarre, unbelievable truth, what would 

happen to him? 

Could a man like him–so calm, rational, and used to being in 

control of everything–accept that his world might just be a 

written story? 

Wouldn’t it be a huge shock, or even… a curse, triggering some 

unknown, terrible aftereffects? 

She couldn’t risk it. 

She would rather he knew nothing, rather she carried this fear 

and secret alone, than let him fall into any possible danger. 

The immense fear crushed any desire to confide in him. 

She even held her breath subconsciously, as if speaking a 

single word would bring an unseen doom upon Roderick. 

“I can’t tell you, Roderick.” 

Roderick could feel she was still tense in his arms; that subtle 

trembling didn’t lie. 

Chapter 298 

He was silent for a moment, his deep eyes flickering with 

countless thoughts in the darkness. 

He knew asking directly wouldn’t work; she was determined to 

hide it. 

But he couldn’t just stand by and watch her be tormented by 

some unknown fear. 

An idea began to form. 

He sighed very softly, his arms still around her. His voice was 

low and slow, with a guiding tone that wasn’t pressuring: 

“I won’t ask anymore. Don’t be afraid.” 

Hearing this, Madeleine relaxed a little, but her guard wasn’t 

completely down. 

However, Roderick’s next words made her hold her breath 

again. 

“But I can’t let you carry this all by yourself.” 

His fingertips gently caressed her arm. “How about this? I’ll 

guess. If I’m right, or close, you nod. If not, you shake your 

head. You don’t have to say a thing. I’ll figure it out. Okay?” 

Chapter 298 

Madeleine’s heart leaped into her throat! 

This… how could that work? 

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but Roderick didn’t give her a chance to speak, immediately throwing out his first guess in a 

tone as calm as if he were discussing the weather:
