The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 6

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 6

The eyes of all three welled up with tears. 

Thrilled, Clarissa hugged Madeleine tightly. 

“Maddie! You’re my Maddie! Sweetie, you’ve finally … finally 

come back to us! You wanted nothing to do with us these past few years… It broke our hearts… Do you have any idea?” 

She burst into tears, releasing years of pent–up sorrow and 

grievance. 

Ten minutes later, Madeleine sat on the sofa, nestled between 

her parents. 

She looked around. The house wasn’t large, but it was cozy and 

inviting. However, there wasn’t a single trace of her presence to 

be found. 

“Dad, Mom, what happened to our family business? Did it go 

bankrupt?” 

Harold and Clarissa exchanged another glance. After a heavy silence, they recounted the painful past. 

Chapter 6 

Madeleine rose to her feet after knowing what had happened. 

“What are you doing, Maddie?” 

“Where’s the kitchen? I’m gonna find a knife to stab myself.” 

It had never occurred to Madeleine that she was the chief 

culprit behind the ruin of her family’s business. 

Harold and Clarissa explained that she had married Roderick 

and had a son with him shortly after graduation. 

Not long after, she began acting irrationally, insisting that they 

fund Edward’s startup with a massive investment. 

When they refused, she funneled a massive amount of the company’s capital to Edward, gutting Harold’s hard–earned 

empire. 

As it turned out, Edward was a business prodigy. Within six months, he became the Mosley Group’s most fierce competitor 

and ultimately acquired it, severely implicating the Livingston 

Group in the process. 

The Mosley Group went bankrupt and was liquidated. Every 

valuable item in their home was sold. 

Chapter 6 

“Roddy bought this house for us. He offered to buy our villa 

back, but we didn’t let him.” 

Clarissa lowered her head and wiped her tears. 

“We owe him so much.” 

Remembering something, she grabbed Madeleine’s hand and asked, “Maddie, now that you’ve lost your memory… Do you still 

love Edward?” 

“Of course not!” Madeleine answered without hesitation. 

Putting everything else aside, Edward wasn’t even as 

handsome as Roderick. In her memory, he was just a sullen, 

introverted, and perpetually insecure young man. What could 

she have possibly loved about him? 

What had she been thinking? Had she lost her mind? 

“I’m glad to hear that. Maddie, you truly broke Roddy’s heart. I 

genuinely don’t know if he can ever forgive you.” 

Madeleine knew Roderick–he was a proud and confident man. 

He would never accept being cheated on. 

But… 

Chapter 6 

“Mom, I don’t love Roderick either.” 

She had loathed Roderick most during her teenage years. Even 

if she spotted him on the street, she would take a detour. 

After a moment of thought, she said, “Mom, I’ll talk to Roderick 

properly about the divorce.” 

“No, you will not!” Harold interjected sternly. 

“Have you even stopped to think about Kev?” 

Kevin… 

A sharp pang of pain shot through Madeleine’s heart, leaving a 

suffocating ache. 

No matter what, Kevin was her son. Though she had no 

memory of the past few years, the moment his adorable face 

surfaced in her mind, she was flooded with an involuntary 

warmth and affection. 

“Alright. I’ll think it over,” she conceded, steadying herself. 

She would find an opportunity to have a calm discussion with 

Roderick. Perhaps they could maintain a marriage in name only, 

making further adjustments if he someday met someone he

truly loved. 

“Maddie, you haven’t eaten, have you? Let me make you 

something nice,” Clarissa offered. 

“Really? Mom, you can cook now?” 

Another wave of guilt washed over Madeleine, and she bit her 

lip to hold back her tears. 

“I’m so sorry, Dad, Mom. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be living here, and Mom wouldn’t have had to learn how to cook.” 

Harold stood up with a resigned sigh. “Do you really think I’d let Clarissa handle the cooking? She’s only mastered frying eggs. 

You stay here and keep her company.” 

With that, he walked into the kitchen, deftly tied the apron 

strings, and began preparing the meal. 

Madeleine was momentarily speechless. 

So, Harold had been the one cooking all along. Of course, that 

made perfect sense. Clarissa’s hands were still as fair and soft 

as ever–clearly, Harold had never let her do any housework. 

“Mom, tell me more. What else have I done over the years?” 

Chapter 6 

She kicked off her shoes, crossed her legs, curled up on the 

sofa, and hugged a cushion to her chest. 

Clarissa peeled an orange and handed it to her. Everything felt 

the same as eight years ago. 

“You barely came home these past few years. It was as if you’d 

become a completely different person. At first, Harold and I 

thought you were suffering from postpartum mood swings, but 

then we realized even your preferences had changed.” 

Madeleine blinked, her mouth full of orange. 

“My preferences changed?”
