The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 309

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 309

The few older men who might have wanted to keep joking felt 

too embarrassed to say anything more. 

He had shown them complete respect. 

“As for our marriage…” Adrian said, his tone turning a bit more 

serious as he glanced back at Rebecca. 

“Rebecca and I both believe that a marriage is about two people 

forming a new family, not about one person joining the other’s.” 

They looked at each other, their gazes full of tacit 

understanding and composure. 

“I do research at the university. I wouldn’t call it relaxed, but my 

schedule is relatively flexible. Taking care of Rebecca is my 

responsibility, and being with her is my blessing.” 

As Adrian said this, his eyes were filled with unconcealable 

sincerity. 

“In the future, if she needs it, I’m of course willing to give her my 

full support so she can focus on her own career.” 

Chapter 309 

Adrian didn’t directly refute their live–in son–in–law implication; 

instead, he deftly sidestepped the implication. 

After all, it was their life to live, and the gossip of others 

couldn’t change anything. 

He just needed to put Rebecca at ease, and that was enough. 

The older men, who had been teasing before, now looked a bit 

more serious. 

Plus, Mr. Whitman was also speaking up for Adrian. Since the 

Whitman family was in the pharmaceutical industry, he naturally 

understood Adrian’s value in the field better than these other 

executives. 

Hearing all that praise, you’d think Mr. Whitman was just 

showering Adrian with over–the–top compliments. 

“The kids will be fine on their own. Let’s not get in their way, us 

old folks. Come on, I’ve got good tea and wine over there. I’ll 

take you to try some.” 

With that, Mr. Whitman led the group to the other table. 

After they left, Rebecca finally walked over to Adrian, tilting her 

head to gaze at his gentle profile.

“Not bad, Professor Shaw. I thought you were just cooped up in 

your lab all day analyzing data, unable to handle the 

pleasantries.” 

Rebecca had been incredibly worried about bringing Adrian to 

the birthday party. 

She was worried Adrian would say the wrong thing, worried her 

dad and his friends would give him a hard time. 

After all, the financial gap between them was huge. They 

weren’t in the same league at all. In this circle, there were too 

many snobs, and someone was bound to say something nasty 

to his face. 

But Adrian handled it very well. 

“It wasn’t just pleasantries.” 

Adrian’s lowered hand gently took Rebecca’s. “I meant every 

word. When you want to fly, I’ll be down below watching, 

making sure you can always come back to my arms when 

you’re tired.” 

Rebecca stared into his eyes, her heart fluttering as if a feather 

had gently brushed against it, sending out tiny ripples.

“Wow, Professor Shaw… I’m really touched.” 

Then she leaned in and whispered, “It’s a shame there are so 

many people here, or I’d really give you a kiss.” 

Adrian, who was always composed and restrained, found his 

breathing becoming uneven. 

He looked up helplessly. 

Hmm… 

There really were a few too many people. 

He smiled and leaned close to Rebecca’s ear, “Then think about 

how you’re going to make it up to me later.” 

The words seemed proper enough. 

But why did they sound not so proper? 

Rebecca’s ears felt a little hot. Afraid someone would notice, 

she shot Adrian an annoyed glance and quickly tucked her hair 

behind her ear to hide it. 

Worried that Adrian would feel uncomfortable in this kind of 

setting, Rebecca kept him by her side wherever she went. 

Chapter 309 

After a round of greetings, everyone knew that Rebecca was 

dating a professor. 

Well, when people get together, there’s bound to be gossip. 

“Rebecca’s boyfriend looks quite handsome, much better 

looking than that other person’s partner.” 

“What’s the use of being good–looking these days? Haven’t you 

heard? He’s just a university professor. It sounds like a high 

social status, but he actually has no money or power.” 

“Don’t say that. As long as the girl likes him, that’s all that 

matters.” 

“Oh, what’s the use of liking him? It’s because she likes him that 

I’m worried. What if he’s just after the Whitman family’s 

money?” 

There was a lot of messy gossip. 

Although they didn’t say it to Rebecca and Adrian’s faces, they 

still overheard some of it. 

“I’m sorry.” 

Chapter 309 

Once they found an empty corner, Rebecca pulled Adrian’s 

hand and lowered her head guiltily. 

“I didn’t think it through before bringing you here, and I made 

you listen to those unpleasant things.” 

Adrian saw her nervous expression and thought something was 

wrong. 

After listening, he chuckled softly, turned his hand to hold Rebecca’s, and gently caressed the back of her hand with his fingertips, offering some comfort.
