The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 54

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 54

He hesitated for two seconds and then nodded. 

Madeleine exchanged a glance with her son, joy lighting up both 

their faces. 

The next morning, she specially found the matching outfits she 

had bought with her son a few days earlier. 

“Ah!” 

Madeleine noticed Roderick’s regretful expression. 

“I forgot to buy one for you.” 

“What?” he asked in confusion. 

“The family outfits. I asked when I bought them, but they didn’t 

have your size. I was going to go back when they restocked, but 

I’ve been busy and totally forgot about it.” 

Roderick’s frown eased. 

“It’s fine. You two can wear them.” 

Chapter 54 

After all, he hadn’t exactly wanted to wear something so 

childish anyway. 

“No way.” Madeleine stubbornly pulled out her phone. “A family 

should stay united. Otherwise, people might think Kevin and I 

are leaving you out.” 

Watching her busily call the sales assistant to see if they could 

deliver a matching men’s shirt now, Roderick felt a strange 

emotion stir in his chest. 

For the past few years, as long as Madeleine was in this house, 

the atmosphere had always been cold and strange. 

If there had been exclusion, it was she who had excluded him 

and their son. 

Now, for the first time in years, it felt as if sunlight was breaking 

into his long–sealed heart. 

“Done. They can deliver it in half an hour!” 

Madeleine raised her brows, pointing at the little dinosaur 

printed on her T–shirt. 

“Don’t you want one this cute, too?” 

Chapter 54 

Part of Roderick really wanted to say no. 

Half an hour later, the shirt arrived. 

“Hurry, go change,” Madeleine urged, while she busied herself 

picking comfortable shoes for herself and her son. 

They would be walking a lot today, and her feet were still sore. 

She definitely needed a pair of comfy sneakers. 

As she bent down to tie her laces, she heard her son clap his 

hands. 

“Daddy looks so handsome!” 

Madeleine looked up, and her eyes were instantly caught by 

Roderick. 

In recent weeks, he had almost always been in sharp suits or 

black and white loungewear at home. 

He now looked so different from the Roderick in her memory. 

Back then, the flamboyant “Ricki” had loved flashy, fashionable 

colors. 

Now, seeing him in a bright shirt with an adorable dinosaur 

print, her memory was pulled back in an instant. 

Chapter 54 

She almost saw the Roderick of his teenage years. 

Distracted, she accidentally tied her shoelaces into a dead knot. 

She lowered her head in frustration, fumbling with it. 

Roderick walked over and crouched down. His long fingers 

untangled the knot in just two or three moves and then tied a 

neat bow. 

“Is this your wedding ring?” 

Madeleine suddenly asked, noticing the plain band on his ring 

finger. 

He gave a quiet nod. 

“It looks nice. Where’s mine? I want to wear it, too.” 

“You threw it away.” 

Madeleine’s smile faltered awkwardly. 

She wished she hadn’t asked. 

How embarrassing! 

Roderick didn’t explain further, but he remembered vividly. That 

Chapter 54 

ring had been at the center of one of their fiercest arguments. 

Three years ago, in late autumn, Madeleine had gone mad, 

demanding that he give up a major bid and hand the 

opportunity to Edward. 

The project was crucial to the group’s future, and Roderick had 

prepared tirelessly for a month. There was no way he could give 

it up. 

When her tantrums failed, Madeleine had stolen his bid 

documents. 

If she had handed them over to Edward, all his work would have 

been in vain. 

“Madeleine, I beg you, don’t do this,” Roderick had pleaded, red- 

eyed, for the first time in his life. 

The company didn’t belong to him alone. He carried the weight 

of thousands of employees and their families. He couldn’t let 

her recklessness put them in danger. 

But Madeleine had only sneered, pulling off her wedding ring 

and tossing it out the window into the artificial lake in the 

backyard. 

Chapter 54 

“Fine. If you find the ring, I won’t give the documents to 

Edward.” 

The late autumn night was bone–chilling, the water even more 

So. 

Without hesitation, Roderick had stripped off his jacket and 

leapt into the icy lake. 

He hadn’t found the ring. Instead, he had been hospitalized 

after falling unconscious from hypothermia. Perhaps she had 

been frightened by his state, and that was why she hadn’t 

handed over the bid in the end. 

He had saved the company at almost the cost of his life. 

From then on, whenever he saw the ring on his finger, the 

memory was no longer of the blissful day they exchanged vows 

in Quelcia. 

Instead, it was her distorted face as she threw the ring away, 

threatening him. 

He still didn’t understand. How could Madeleine have changed 

into a different person overnight? 

Madeleine still didn’t know why she had thrown away the 

Chapter 54 

wedding ring back then.
