The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 336

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 336

Chapter 336 

His hand was large with well–defined knuckles. It was usually 

warm and strong, but now it felt a little cold. . 

She pressed his hand against her cheek, trying to warm it with 

her own body heat. 

“Roderick.” 

She called his name in a low voice, as soft as a whisper. 

“Bradley said you’re just too tired and a good sleep will fix it. So 

sleep well. I’ll be right here with you.” 

She rambled on for a bit, about how Kevin was being good, how 

Mrs. Miller’s condition was stable, and how he didn’t need to 

worry about the company with Gerry looking after it… Her voice 

gradually faded as she went on. 

The constant mental stress and emotional roller coaster had 

left Madeleine utterly exhausted. 

She had only planned to rest by his bedside for a bit, but an 

overwhelming sleepiness washed over her. 

She gently rested her head on her folded arms, her cheek

against the back of Roderick’s hand, feeling the faint beat of his 

pulse, a rhythm that seemed to have a reassuring magic. 

Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally, she fell into a 

deep sleep. 

In her drowsy sleep, she felt as if she had fallen into a sun- 

drenched afternoon. 

The noisy chirping of cicadas filled her ears, and the air was 

thick with the sweet scent of gardenias and… a faint, familiar 

smell of disinfectant? 

No, that smell was quickly overpowered by the scent of fresh 

grass on campus. 

She looked down and saw she was actually wearing that ugly 

standardized school uniform, clutching a slightly wrinkled SAT 

admission ticket, damp with sweat. 

Around her were classmates cheering, jumping for joy, and 

throwing their textbooks at each other to celebrate their 

“liberation.” 

Wait, this scene… is this the day the SATS ended? 

The setting sun was warm, and a gentle breeze carried the

smell of the rubber track and youthful sweat. 

Madeleine was hunched over the freezer at the school tuck 

shop, torn between an Old–Fashioned Popsicle and a Mung 

Bean Popsicle. Her family didn’t let her eat these things, so she 

always finished them at school before going home. 

Someone gave the back of her collar a light tug. 

“Tsk, taking this long to choose? Can’t make a choice to save 

your life?” 

She didn’t need to turn around. From that punchable tone alone, 

Madeleine knew it was Roderick. 

She irritably slapped his hand away. “None of your business! Go 

eat your own thing!” 

Roderick was holding a cold, sweating bottle of soda. He hadn’t 

drunk any, just leaned against the adjacent freezer, his eyes 

fixed on the back of her head while his mouth kept running: 

“Look at you. Trying to figure out the secrets of the universe 

from a popsicle? 

You’re so slow.”

Madeleine finally chose the Mung Bean Popsicle, paid, tore 

open the wrapper, and took a huge bite. The cold made her 

teeth ache, and only then did she glare at him. 

“Ricki, if you’ve got nothing better to do, go help sweep the 

streets. Why come over here and personally attack me out of 

boredom?” 

Roderick didn’t answer. His gaze swept over the corner of her mouth, which had a smudge of green mung bean, before 

quickly looking away. 

The tips of his ears turned an almost imperceptible shade of 

red. 

He twisted open the soda cap, held it out to her, his tone still 

stiff. “Here. It’s for you.” 

Madeleine stared at the soda offered to her, stunned for a 

moment. 

Did the sun rise in the west? 

Her arch–nemesis was offering her a drink? 

She watched him warily. “What’s this for?

Is it poisoned?” 

Roderick almost crushed the soda bottle, gritting his teeth. 

“Madeleine, what the hell goes on in that head of yours? 

Take it or leave it!” 

That’s what he said, but he didn’t pull his hand back. 

Madeleine took it dubiously and had a small sip. It was cold, 

sweet, and refreshing–definitely thirst–quenching. 

She licked her lips and decided to let his attitude slide for now. 

“Thanks.” 

The two of them walked side–by–side down the tree–lined path, 

silent for a moment. 

There was a subtle awkwardness in the air. 

Usually by this time, they would have been arguing nonstop. 

Roderick cleared his throat, staring straight ahead, and spoke 

as if it were a casual thought. “Hey, Madeleine.” 

“What?” 

Madeleine mumbled in reply, still nibbling on her popsicle.

“Where… are you applying for college?” 

He asked a bit stiffly. 

“Hmm? 

I haven’t really decided yet. Probably Harvard University or 

Massachusetts Institute of Technology here in the city. My 

scores should be high enough for either.” 

Madeleine said honestly. 

“Oh.” 

Roderick replied, then fell silent for a few seconds before 

suddenly blurting out, “The cafeteria at Massachusetts Institute 

of Technology… I heard it’s pretty bad.”
