The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 86

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 86

Chapter 86 

Rebecca was surprised and sat up straight. 

“The first time it happened? 

When was that?” 

“Two months ago.” 

“Roderick!” 

Rebecca slammed the table in frustration. 

“You really know how to keep your cool, huh? The company isn’t just yours. You’re supposed to discuss things like this with me, 

you know.” 

Roderick glanced at her. “The company isn’t just mine, but I’m 

the one who built it up.” 

Rebecca shrank back again. 

Fine, he wasn’t wrong. 

She remembered her dad telling her, from years ago before she 

Chapter 86 

joined the group, that the company had faced several crises, 

and Roderick had single–handedly pulled them through every 

time. 

He even created quite a legend in the industry back then. 

That’s why many of the old–timers are still willing to follow 

Roderick so loyally. 

“Keep talking. What’s the deal with the branch office? Did you 

find out who it was?” 

“Two months ago, after I found out someone was leaking 

company secrets, I had several different versions of a report 

made for people in various departments. The changes were 

subtle, but they differed when it came to key business metrics.” 

Rebecca frowned. “Process of elimination?” 

“Mhm.” 

He raised an eyebrow, looking quite pleased with himself. 

“The version from the branch office wasn’t leaked. The leak 

came from the main group. If Madeleine really stole it from the 

branch office, it wouldn’t add up.” 

Chapter 86 

“You devil!” 

Rebecca was amused. 

With something this big happening, his first reaction wasn’t about the company’s loss or catching the mole, but about 

clearing his wife’s name? 

Wow, Roderick, you’re really something. He’s so in love. 

“So the information was leaked from the main group.” 

“Right.” 

Roderick nodded, a triumphant smile playing on his lips. 

“Originally, the process of elimination could only rule out a few 

people. It would have taken more time to find the real culprit. 

But now…” 

The smile on Roderick’s face slowly vanished. 

“Not many people knew about the new product’s promotional 

plan.” 

Rebecca looked at Roderick’s expression, silent for a moment, 

then couldn’t help but feel bad for her friend. 

Chapter 86 

“Roderick, Roderick… if you hadn’t insisted on investigating this 

on your own, Madeleine would’ve taken the fall for being the 

mole. You do all this for her, but does she even see it?” 

“Why wouldn’t she?” 

Roderick raised an eyebrow, saying confidently, “She cares a lot 

about me now.” 

“Cares about you?” 

Rebecca looked like she’d just heard a joke and couldn’t stop 

herself from laughing out loud. 

Roderick didn’t get angry. An image of Madeleine looking 

jealous earlier today popped into his head. 

It was cute. 

“Did you just come from eating New England Food?” 

Roderick: ? 

“You must’ve gotten food poisoning from the wild mushrooms.” 

Roderick: … 

He huffed, not ready to give up. “Let’s make a bet.” 

Chapter 86 

“Alright, a bet.” 

Rebecca jutted her chin toward the phone on Roderick’s desk. 

“Call Madeleine. Tell her you got into a car accident on your way 

over.” 

“What are we betting?” 

“The usual. Money.” 

Rebecca was obsessed with money; why else would she be 

after Roderick’s job all the time? 

Their bets usually started in the millions, but this time Rebecca 

held up one finger. 

“Ten million.” 

Roderick didn’t say a word. He just picked up his phone and 

dialed. 

Ring… 

Ring… 

Ring… 

Chapter 86 

With every ring, Roderick’s expression darkened a little more, 

while Rebecca’s smile grew even wider. 

No answer. 

She didn’t pick up! 

“Pfft, hahahaha! 

Pay up, pay up. Roderick, Roderick, you knew you were going to 

lose. Why’d you even take the bet?” 

Rebecca leaned in, holding her palm out for the money. 

“And the moral of the story is, never be a gambling degenerate.” 

Roderick’s face fell. He grumbled as he transferred the money, 

“She was probably just busy and couldn’t pick up.” 

“Right, right, she was busy. I totally believe you~” 

Gleefully accepting the transfer, Rebecca had barely had a 

moment to enjoy it when the phone on Roderick’s desk began 

to ring. 

Rebecca peeked over nervously. 

The call was from Kirsten. She breathed a sigh of relief. 

Chapter 86 

Roderick picked up the phone, put it to his ear, but immediately 

pulled it away and put it on speaker after hearing the voice on 

the other end. 

His tense expression completely relaxed. 

“I broke my phone~” 

Madeleine’s lilting voice came through, though it was muffled, as if she were chewing on something. 

“It was ringing forever and I couldn’t answer, it was driving me 

crazy. I had to borrow Kirsten’s phone to call you. What’s up?” 

Roderick didn’t say anything. His expression changed in a flash 

like Sichuan Opera’s face–changing art as he looked up, his 

gaze toward Rebecca full of smug triumph. 

See? I told you my wife really cares about me now.
