The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 338

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 338

Chapter 338 

Her first instinct was to look at Roderick, and her gaze met his 

smiling, deep eyes. 

“You’re awake?

Madeleine was instantly wide awake, sitting up straight in 

pleasant surprise, her hand tightening unconsciously. 

“How are you feeling? 

Does it still hurt? 

Are you uncomfortable anywhere? 

I’ll call the doctor!” 

As she spoke, she was about to press the call button, but 

Roderick gently caught her hand with his. 

“Don’t rush,” his voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, 

but his tone was steady, “I’m fine, just a little hungry.” 

Chapter 338 

Madeleine finally relaxed a little, but she still looked him up and 

down worriedly, confirming that although his face was pale, he 

seemed to be in good spirits. 

As her tension eased, the scene from her dream inappropriately 

popped into her mind. 

The awkward and funny teenage Roderick under the setting 

sun. 

She looked at the mature, steady man before her, who still had 

a hint of a cool outline to his features, and couldn’t help but let 

out a “pfft” of laughter. 

Roderick was baffled by her laughter and raised an eyebrow. 

“What are you laughing at? 

Is me lying in a hospital bed that funny?” 

“No, no,” Madeleine quickly waved her hands, her eyes curving 

into crescents. “I just had a dream about high school, about the 

day after the SATS, and the things you said to me in front of the 

school tuck shop.” 

Roderick froze for a moment, the tips of his ears turning an 

almost imperceptible shade of red. He pretended to be calm 

and looked away. “That was so long ago, who remembers that.” 

Chapter 338 

“Well, I remember it clearly!” 

Madeleine got excited, leaned closer to him, and blinked slyly. 

“Were you… confessing your feelings to me back then?” 

Roderick’s body tensed almost imperceptibly. ‘He didn’t admit or deny it, just gave a vague “mm” sound. 

Seeing him like this, Madeleine became even more certain of 

her suspicion, laughing like a cat that got the cream: 

“Hahaha, I knew it! All that stuff about the MIT cafeteria food 

being bad, and being afraid I’d embarrass you… Roderick, your 

communication skills back then were a solid F. I didn’t 

understand at all, I thought you came looking for me just to pick 

a fight!” 

Listening to Madeleine’s laughing accusations, Roderick sighed 

helplessly. 

He raised a hand to rub the bridge of his nose, but the corner of 

his mouth held a resigned, indulgent smile. 

He turned his head, looking at Madeleine’s sparkling eyes, his 

tone carrying a resigned fondness and a bit of the candor that 

came from finally speaking up after so many years: 

Chapter 338 

“Yeah, I was confessing.” 

“Too bad a certain silly girl’s reception was completely shot. Not 

only did you not understand, you got furious and almost 

actually applied to MIT.” 

Madeleine froze, not expecting him to admit it just like that. 

Even though she had already guessed, hearing him say it out 

loud felt different. 

It felt like a feather was gently tickling her heart, making it feel 

tender and achy. 

Roderick lifted the blanket beside him, “Want to come lie down 

for a bit?” 

The hospital bed was pretty big, and Madeleine was thin, so she 

figured it wouldn’t be a problem to lie down, nodding 

repeatedly. 

She took off her coat and gently slipped into Roderick’s arms, 

the warmth immediately enveloping her. 

Madeleine took a deep, contented breath, burying her face in 

the crook of his neck. Her voice was muffled, thick with 

emotion and lingering fear: 

Chapter 338 

“Roderick… you scared me to death.” 

Roderick stiffened slightly, then gently wrapped his arms 

around her back, patting it rhythmically, like he was soothing a frightened little animal. 

“I made you worry.” 

He whispered in her ear, “It won’t happen again.” 

Madeleine thought for a moment, then tilted her chin up a bit to 

look at Roderick. 

“Actually, I went to see Edward.” 

Hearing that name, Roderick’s body clearly tensed up. 

d’s in the hospital too. His condition… it’s a lot like how 

Mrs. Miller and I were when we awakened, so.” 

Madeleine thought for a moment before speaking slowly, “I 

have a bold guess.” 

“You think Edward is awakening too?” 

Roderick finished her sentence. 

“Yeah.” 

Chapter 338 

Madeleine nodded and sighed, “You see, Mrs. Miller’s accident 

was like a trigger. It made me start to suspect things. Then, 

because of me and Mrs. Miller, you went straight to confront 

Edward and ended up coughing up blood. And now Edward 

himself has collapsed, and his condition is so strange…” 

She looked up at Roderick, her eyes filled with a searching look 

and a hint of uncertainty: 

“Does all of this mean that the so–called narrative control is 

becoming unstable because we’re fighting back? 

“And maybe… even Edward, the protagonist, is starting to break 

free from its control?”
