The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 35

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 35

Chapter 35 

Madeleine took Kevin’s hand, then turned and called Roderick. 

Only when she directed her attention his way did the motionless 

man finally stand. 

Madeleine thought to herself, “He only moved when given a 

direct command.” 

In the car, Kevin clung to his mother’s hand, refusing to let go even as his palm grew damp. 

His eyes sparkled with unconcealed excitement. 

He could hardly believe his mom was taking him to 

kindergarten! 

He’d show all those kids who said he had no mother. 

He not only had a mother, but she was also as beautiful as 

Snow White. 

The car soon stopped outside the kindergarten. 

Rosebud Kindergarten, which Kevin attended, was the most 

Chapter 35 

prestigious in Valenburg, renowned not just for its location and 

facilities but for its exceptional educational resources. 

Several teachers of various nationalities stood at the gate, 

greeting the children. 

Madeleine was impressed. 

She thought she’d had a privileged upbringing. 

Now she realized her perspective had been limited. Or rather, 

her imagination had been constrained by a simpler life. 

“Go by yourself,” Roderick said firmly, stopping Madeleine from 

exiting. 

“Your mother needs to get to the hospital.” 

“Ah…” 

Kevin looked up, clear disappointment in his eyes. 

He’d planned the whole trip to linger at the gate with his mother 

so all his friends could see. 

He bit his lip, one hand still on the car door, reluctant. 

“Be good, sweetie. I’ll walk you all the way to the gate tomorrow, 

Chapter 35 

I promise.” 

“Okay.” 

Kevin nodded. He was a reasonable boy. 

He understood his father was right. His mother needed to get 

to the hospital quickly. 

Besides, they had pinky–sworn yesterday. She would take him to 

school every day. 

“Well, bye, Mommy.” 

“Bye, Kev.” 

After getting out, Kevin remembered he hadn’t said goodbye to 

Roderick. His previously warm tone cooled noticeably. 

“Bye, Daddy.” 

“Mm.” 

Roderick noted the difference but didn’t take offense. 

Madeleine gave birth to the child. He had no reason to compete 

for the boy’s affection. 

They watched Kevin enter the kindergarten before Roderick

directed the driver to Rivermont General Hospital. 

During the drive, Roderick opened his laptop to work. He 

appeared busy, his brow furrowed in clear agitation. 

Madeleine stole glances at him from the corner of her eye. 

If the boy from eight years ago could see this now, he’d never 

believe this stern, imposing CEO was himself. 

The current Roderick was handsome, certainly, but he lacked a 

certain human warmth. 

The old Roderick had been irritating, but he was always eager to 

talk to her, their conversations endless and wildly imaginative. 

But now, he only spoke when necessary, his face perpetually 

stern. 

Madeleine rubbed her chin. 

So it was true that men matured overnight once they had a 

family and children. 

They arrived at the hospital. 

Roderick led Madeleine to the neurology department on the third floor of the outpatient building. 

Chapter 35 

Still mentally a teenager, Madeleine instinctively adopted a respectful demeanor upon seeing the doctor. 

But when she clearly saw the man in the white coat, her respect 

morphed into pure shock. 

Her mouth fell open, no sound emerging for a long moment. 

“B–Bradley!?” 

Bradley Kline’s lips curved into his signature, mischievous 

childhood grin. 

“Stuttering? Stuttering isn’t really our department’s area.” 

Madeleine stared at Bradley, then turned to look at Roderick. 

“Don’t tell me that dropout who failed every test became a 

doctor!?” 

Roderick pressed his lips together and nodded. “Yes.” 

“You must be joking!” Madeleine clutched her head. “Is the 

medical field that desperate now? Can just anyone become a 

doctor? And a neurologist? Treating brains? Isn’t that ironic that 

someone with mental issues is treating brains?!” 

Bradley’s face instantly clouded over. 

Chapter 35 

The intern beside him drew a sharp breath and hurriedly 

interjected, “Dr. Kline is a highly skilled physician, ma’am. You 

needn’t worry.” 

Madeleine felt dizzy. 

Bradley, her classmate from junior high to freshman year, was 

the infamous class troublemaker. 

He rode on his family’s influence at the school, ignoring every 

rule because the staff never dared to discipline him properly. 

Skipping school, using his phone in class, getting into fights, 

handing in blank tests, dating early, he broke every rule in the 

book. 

Back then, Madeleine was the perfect student who wouldn’t be 

caught dead with someone like him. 

Roderick, however, had always been friendly with Bradley. 

Madeleine used to whisper that they were cut from the same 

cloth, though Roderick at least feared his father enough to rein 

it in. 

Now this same reckless slacker had somehow become a doctor 

at Valenburg’s top hospital. 

Chapter 35 

This felt less like amnesia or time travel to Madeleine. 

It felt like a bizarre dream. 

The world had truly gone mad. 

Bradley’s intern rushed to his defense, pulling out a phone to 

show Madeleine his credentials and medical publications. 

Seeing her reaction, Bradley pieced it together and drew 

Roderick aside.
