The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 69

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 69

Chapter 69 

His gaze was so complex–pain, desire, anger, restraint… all 

these emotions tangled together, making Madeleine’s heart 

clench. 

“I just want to tell you…” She took a deep breath and rushed the 

words out, “If one day I get my memory back, and I turn back 

into the old Madeleine…” 

Roderick’s gaze turned icy in an instant, his grip tightening 

unconsciously. “So what?” 

“I want you to kick me out. Preferably far away, the farther the 

better.” 

Madeleine looked him straight in the eye and said, word by 

word, “Don’t let me keep hurting you and Kev.” 

The air seemed to freeze. 

Roderick’s expression shifted from shock to disbelief, and 

finally to a rage bordering on despair. 

He suddenly cupped the back of her head, his alcohol–tinged lips pressing down hard on hers.

Author’s Note: 

Aunt Flo is here and my cramps are killing me, boohoo, but thinking about them getting to kiss tonight, I still forced myself 

to finish two chapters. I desperately need some praise! 

(ヘリノ 

Roderick’s kiss was rough, as if he was pouring all his unspeakable pain into it. 

Madeleine was startled, and then the kiss started to hurt. The 

air was trapped in her chest, and she couldn’t breathe. 

“Mmph…” 

Madeleine struggled to push him away, but Roderick was 

already strong, and now that he was drunk, it was impossible to 

move him. 

oderick panted, growling beside her, “Why does it always have 

be what you say? Madeleine, you’re so selfish.” 

“It’s not that, I…” 

Roderick didn’t give Madeleine a chance to speak. 

Her words were once again drowned out by a crushing kiss. 

Chapter 69 

It was like a rising wave, crashing over Madeleine, engulfing her 

until she couldn’t breathe. 

For Madeleine, with the memories of her eighteen–year–old self, 

this was her first kiss. 

She had no technique, no idea what to do, not even knowing 

how to move her lips or tongue. 

“I don’t care…” Roderick murmured against her lips, his hot 

breath on her face, “Even if you get your memories back, I won’t 

let go.” 

It sounded like he was saying it to Madeleine, but also to 

himself. 

His kiss gradually softened, becoming careful and cherishing as 

it moved from her lips to her earlobe. 

Madeleine already felt like she couldn’t breathe, and now he 

was making her whole body tremble. 

“Roderick, don’t do this.” 

She was scared and used all her strength to try and push him 

away. 

Chapter 69 

But then, she realized the man on top of her had stopped 

moving. All she could hear was his hot breath by her ear. 

“Roderick?” 

Madeleine patted his shoulder and called his name. 

The only response was his long, even breathing. 

He was… asleep! 

Madeleine blinked a couple of times, and it took a moment for 

her to process what had happened. 

She couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling as countless 

thoughts raced through her mind. 

It seems like those TV dramas weren’t lying. 

People really do fall asleep in the middle of a kiss… 

Roderick seemed even heavier now that he was asleep, and 

Madeleine couldn’t get him up to take him to a room. 

Luckily, the study’s sofa was big enough. She moved the throw 

pillows out of the way and laid Roderick down flat on it. 

Chapter 69 

“Phew…” 

Just from doing all that, Madeleine was already tired and 

covered in a thin layer of sweat. 

Even though it was still hot during this Indian summer, the 

nights always had a bit of a chill. 

If he slept on the sofa just like this, Roderick would definitely 

get cold. 

“I’ll go get you a blanket.” 

Madeleine said, propping one leg on the sofa, getting ready to 

go get a blanket for Roderick. 

But before she could leave, Roderick, who had been asleep with 

his eyes shut, reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly. 

He didn’t control his strength, and Madeleine hissed in pain. 

It was hard to tell if–Roderick heard her, but his grip loosened a 

little, though he never let go. 

“Don’t go.” 

Chapter 69 

Roderick said in a low voice. It was quiet, but perfectly clear in 

the silent room. 

Madeleine was about to say something, but when she looked 

closely, she saw the man was just talking in his sleep. 

She felt a bit helpless and sat back down on the sofa, letting 

him keep his grip on her wrist. 

The kiss just now had happened so fast that Madeleine’s mind 

was still a complete blank. 

Now that she had calmed down, she finally had time to think 

about what had just happened. 

They had actually… really kissed. 

Madeleine reached out and touched her lips. She must have 

bumped them by accident; they still hurt a little. 

The thought that she and Roderick had not only kissed, but had 

even… had a child later on.
