The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 71

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 71

Chapter 71 

Chapter 71 

Madeleine picked it up, planning to ask Roy Velez to hand it to 

Roderick. 

But as soon as she picked up the phone, Madeleine discovered 

it had unlocked! 

Her face could actually unlock Roderick’s phone! 

So does this mean she’s looked at Roderick’s phone before? 

Madeleine’s mouth fell slightly open in shock, and she 

inadvertently glanced at the phone. 

The chiming just now was from Facebook messages sent by 

the same person, saved under the name Rebecca Whitman. 

Madeleine searched her memory. The name was unfamiliar. 

She didn’t look to see what this Rebecca had sent. 

It was Roderick’s privacy, and she wouldn’t look. 

But in the last moment before the screen went dark, she still 

Chapter 71 

noticed the message from that Rebecca. 

[Sweetie, am I not the one you trust the most?] 

Clang. 

Madeleine’s hand wasn’t steady, and Roderick’s phone 

slammed onto the table. 

Her eyelid twitched violently twice. 

Sweetie? 

This Rebecca person called Roderick “sweetie“? 

That intimate? 

That brazen? 

Not even trying to hide it! 

Even though their marriage was most likely a strategic 

marriage, the kind with no feelings involved. 

But they couldn’t really just do their own thing, could they? They 

have a child.

Besides, if that’s the case, what was that kiss last night… 

Madeleine felt like a heavy stone was crushing her chest, 

making it hard to breathe, and her face looked absolutely awful. 

“Mommy, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?” 

“No.” 

Madeleine shook her head, just in time to see Roderick 

approaching after finishing his work call, and her face darkened 

again. 

“If you don’t like the breakfast, I’ll have Kirsten make something 

else. What do you want to eat?” 

“I don’t want anything.” 

Madeleine mumbled, grabbing the peeled egg from the table 

and stuffing it into her mouth. 

Just then, Rebecca called. Madeleine got so excited she 

swallowed the egg whole, nearly choking to death, and quickly 

got up to find water in the kitchen. 

Roderick saw something was off with her, but he couldn’t quite 

put his finger on it.

He picked up the phone to answer. On the other end, Rebecca 

was faking a northern accent, “Well, my goodness, what took 

you so long to answer?” 

Roderick: … 

Rebecca had been obsessed with a northern comedy lately, and 

“my goodness” had become her catchphrase. 

“Talk to me in that dead voice again and I’ll kill you.” 

“Oh?” 

Rebecca chuckled on the other end of the line. “Mr. Livingston, 

your tone sounds a bit off. Why do you sound so secretly 

pleased? What, did you wake up and realize you’re not wearing 

such a big pair of horns after all?” 

“Rebecca!” 

“Alright, alright, I’ll stop. Such a tough guy, but with a fragile ego. 

I won’t step on your pride, okay?” 

Rebecca held back her laughter, knowing there was a limit to 

joking around. 

She was close with Roderick, so she could get away with 

Chapter 71 

teasing him more than others, but that didn’t mean she could 

say just anything. 

Like Madeleine, for example, whom he’d protect with his life. As 

much as Rebecca couldn’t stand her, she didn’t dare make a 

move against her. 

What could she do? The man was just too fiercely protective of 

his own. 

She dropped the smile and said, “Gerry told me you’re 

investigating Isabela. Why the sudden interest in Origin Real 

Real Estate?” 

After she spoke, Rebecca noticed there was no response from 

the other side and glanced at her phone, puzzled. 

“Roderick? 

Are you listen-” 

“Rebecca.” 

Roderick’s voice was a little low. “I consider you a friend, but 

that doesn’t mean you can meddle in my private affairs.” 

Roderick trusted Gerry to be discreet; the information shouldn’t 

Chapter 71 

have come from him. 

The only explanation was that Rebecca had secretly sent 

people to investigate Madeleine. 

For a moment, there was only static on the line. 

They were both silent for a while. After a long moment, Rebecca’s somewhat nervous voice came through. 

“Don’t get me wrong.” 

She said, forcing herself, “I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just 

that something happened at the branch office, and now 

everyone in the company and even outsiders are saying 

Madeleine did it. As a senior executive, I have a responsibility to 

get involved.” 

Roderick didn’t answer. He knew what Rebecca meant. 

e held no personal grudge against Madeleine; she was just 

concerned from the company’s perspective. 

“Speaking of which.” 

Rebecca knew Roderick was upset, so she cleared her throat 

and changed the subject. “It’s not convenient for Gerry to 

Chapter 711 

investigate this. My uncle has some connections in real estate, 

so I had him look into it for you. Origin Real does have 

problems.” 

“Mm.” 

Roderick responded. 

Even though he didn’t say anything, Rebecca could tell the

Roderick responded. 

Even though he didn’t say anything, Rebecca could tell the 

matter was closed, that the guy wasn’t mad at her anymore.
