The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 39

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 39

Chapter 39 

Nanette carried the boy towards her. When Kevin saw 

Madeleine, his expression shifted, becoming unreadable. 

“Mrs. Livingston.” 

Nanette smiled, not putting the child down. 

“So you are home.” 

Madeleine frowned slightly. “Why did you pick up Kev?” 

Nanette sighed, feigning regret. “The kindergarten called. The 

driver came for him, but he refused to leave. He wouldn’t speak. 

They had no choice but to call me.” 

Madeleine’s heart sank. She looked at her son. 

Their eyes met, but he quickly looked away, seemingly unwilling 

to look at her. 

Guilt flooded Madeleine’s heart. 

“I see. Thank you.” 

Chapter 39 

Madeleine nodded, then looked at Kevin. 

“Kev.” 

Kevin didn’t move. 

Madeleine persisted patiently. “Can I hold you?” 

There was still no response. 

Nanette’s smile widened slightly. 

Having been Kevin’s psychologist for so long, she understood 

his psyche better than anyone. 

He craved his mother’s love and attention, but he was an 

independent person, too. 

Once hurt, he would retreat into his shell like a snail. 

Whatever reason Madeleine had for trying to repair their 

relationship, it clearly wasn’t straightforward. 

In Kevin’s heart, Nanette was the most trustworthy one. 

“Mrs. Livingston, I really think you should…” 

“Mommy.” 

Chapter 39 

Nanette’s words caught in her throat. The boy in her arms had suddenly called Madeleine “Mommy” in a muffled voice. 

She pondered, “But wasn’t he angry? 

“Forgave her so quickly?!” 

Madeleine was also stunned. She had worried he would be too upset to forgive her. 

And yet, he’d only ignored her for a few moments… 

Without delay, Madeleine reached out her sore, aching arms 

and took her dear son. 

She thought, “Oof… So heavy. 

“Kirsten’s nutritious meals were certainly effective.” 

The moment he was in her arms, his small hands clung tightly 

to her neck, as if holding onto something precious, refusing to 

let go. 

“Thank you, Dr. Clark.” 

Madeleine gave Nanette a generous smile. 

She knew her son trusted Nanette, so she wouldn’t cause a 

Chapter 39 

scene in front of him. 

“I’ll update my contact details with the kindergarten. No need to 

trouble you anymore.” 

“Mrs. Livingston.” 

Nanette’s smile faded. She glanced at Kevin, hesitating to 

speak her mind. 

Madeleine understood. She looked down at Kevin. 

“Kev, can you go inside first? I need to talk to Dr. Clark for a 

moment.” 

Usually obedient, Kevin now stubbornly shook his head. 

This was the first time Madeleine had seen him openly oppose 

a request. 

She could only smile apologetically at Nanette. 

“I’m sorry, Dr. Clark. We’ll have to talk another time. I need to 

attend to my son now.” 

Nanette’s expression tightened. 

She had hoped to use this perfect opportunity to put Madeleine

in her place, to show her who Kevin really trusted. 

But Kevin wasn’t cooperating. 

She thought, “What is wrong with him? 

“I’ve given him so many psychological cues on the way here…” 

“It’s fine.” 

Nanette masked her frustration with a smile. 

“I didn’t have much to say anyway. I’m just glad Kev is home 

safe.” 

“I’ll have the driver drive you home.” 

“No need, I can manage.” 

Nanette meant it as a polite gesture, but Madeleine 

immediately agreed. 

“Alright then. Have a safe trip.” She then smiled at the driver 

nearby. “Mathew, you can clock out now.” 

Nanette’s composure nearly cracked. 

Clenching her fists, she bid Kevin a gentle goodbye and 

Chapter 39 

conceded defeat, stepping away from the Livingston’s villa. 

Madeleine’s arms and thighs screamed in protest, her brow 

furrowed tightly, as she carried Kevin inside. 

Seeing his mother’s pained expression, Kevin ‘grew alarmed. 

He slowly withdrew his hands and asked timidly, “Mommy, do 

you hate me now?” 

“Hmm?” 

Madeleine didn’t understand the question at first. 

Settling him on the sofa, she looked at him curiously. “Why 

would you ask that, Kev?” 

“You didn’t pick me up, and…” 

Kevin’s small hand unconsciously reached up, wanting to 

smooth the furrow in her brow. 

But he thought better of it and lowered his hand. 

“Never mind. Mommy wouldn’t like it,” he told himself. 

Realizing the misunderstanding, Madeleine looked at him 

earnestly. “Kev, I need to apologize for that. I was dancing this 

afternoon and lost track of time. I forgot to pick you up. By the time I checked, you were already out of school.” 

Madeleine clasped her hands together pleadingly. 

“It’s my fault for not setting an alarm. Please don’t be mad at me, okay?” 

Kevin blinked. 

He thought in disbelief, “Mommy is apologizing to me? 

“How is that possible?” 

“Tell me, Kev. What can I do to earn your forgiveness? I’ll agree 

to anything.” 

Madeleine batted her eyelashes pitifully. 

The boy was the spitting image of Roderick. When she used to apologize to a young Roderick, he had worn this same 

expression. 

Kevin was silent for a moment, then mimicked Madeleine by 

blinking. 

“Really? Anything?” 

Chapter 39 

Madeleine nodded. 

“Anything. I promise.” 

Kevin motioned for her to come closer and whispered 

something in her ear.
