The Heart Surgeon’s Last Patient Novel Chapter 87

Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash 87

Chapter 87 

Rebecca rolled her eyes, speechless. It was the first time she’d 

ever seen Roderick act so cocky. 

“Broke your phone?” 

Roderick remembered he was the one who’d put Madeleine’s 

phone on the crossbeam of the power rack before he left. She 

probably dropped it when she tried to get it down. 

“Yeah, the screen is totally shattered.” 

Madeleine’s voice was full of regret. 

။ 

I should have just thrown a cup. Phones are so expensive. 

Roderick chuckled. “I’ll have someone send you a new one in a 

bit.” 

“No, don’t. It can be fixed. It just needs a new screen.” 

“Out with the old, in with the new.” 

Madeleine paused for two seconds on the other end, then 

chuckled.

“Not so concerned about being thrifty and frugal now, are we?” 

Roderick just smiled without saying a word. 

Madeleine stuffed something else into her mouth, her words 

coming out muffled. “So why’d you call? Did you find anything 

out?” 

“Yeah, pretty much. I told you I wouldn’t let anyone frame you. Don’t worry.” 

“I know.” 

Madeleine’s voice was filled with relief. 

After a moment, she couldn’t help but pause again and ask in a 

low voice, “Ricki, what if I really did do it?” 

“It doesn’t matter.” 

Roderick’s tone was still gentle. “If you really did make a 

mistake, then you just have to make up for it. I’ll be watching 

you.” 

“Tch~ I guess that gives you something to hold over me.” 

Roderick smiled, guessing she was probably muttering about him to herself right now.

Sitting across from him, Rebecca stared wide–eyed. Watching 

the two of them get lost in their own world on the phone, her 

heart sank. 

It’s over. The money I just got is as good as gone. 

Roderick hung up the phone, raised an eyebrow, and looked at 

her smugly, mimicking the way Rebecca had held out her hand 

earlier. 

“Pay up.” 

Rebecca shot him a glare and transferred the 1.6 million dollars 

back. 

“And the rest?” 

Roderick beckoned with his finger. “You lost. A bet’s a bet, you 

gambling degenerate.” 

Rebecca tried to weasel out of it. “I told you to call and tell her 

you were in a car accident. You didn’t, so it doesn’t count as a 

win.” 

“I was afraid of worrying her. I didn’t want to scare her. She…” 

“Stop.”

Rebecca cut Roderick off and, looking down, transferred 

another 800 thousand dollars. 

“We’ll call it a partial win for you. Happy now?” 

She really couldn’t stand him like this, high on his hopeless 

romantic buzz. 

Roderick saw the 800 thousand dollars arrive and immediately 

transferred it to Madeleine. 

It wasn’t easy getting a miser like Rebecca to cough up some 

cash. 

Rebecca crossed her arms. “Looks like Madeleine really has 

changed a lot. No wonder you’re always running to her with your 

tail wagging these days.” 

Roderick shot her a glare. 

“Who are you calling a dog?” 

“Take a look in the mirror yourself. You can’t even hide your 

wagging tail.” 

Roderick didn’t say anything. He could only let his guard down around Rebecca. After all, his true nature had been worn down

over the years, and he rarely had the chance to be himself like 

this. 

“Well, this only proves Madeleine isn’t the mole. It doesn’t prove 

she won’t get ideas like that in the future. What do you think…” 

Rebecca raised an eyebrow and asked with a mischievous 

smile, “If you were to cause some trouble for Edward, do you 

think she’d come after you?” 

Roderick looked at her, amused by how much she enjoyed 

stirring up trouble. 

“Still want to make a bet?” 

“Uh, let me think about it.” 

Rebecca frowned and didn’t answer right away. The sting of her 

recent loss hadn’t faded yet. 

Roderick smiled and leaned back in his chair, every bit of his 

posture radiating confidence. 

“It’s about time I taught Edward a lesson.” 

He’d put up with him for long enough. 

After realizing she might be a disposable side character in a

Male–oriented Web Novel, Madeleine ate and drank as she pleased, treating herself like an unkillable cockroach. 

She had read some Male–oriented Web Novels where, aside 

from the male lead, all the female characters seemed to have their intelligence lowered, becoming stepping stones for the 

protagonist. 

If that was the case, then wouldn’t she and her whole family be 

Edward’s first stepping stone? 

“Damn it, this is just great. An ungrateful bastard can even be 

the male lead!” 

Roy peeked in with a mop, ready for some Gossip. 

“Chase Livingston, are you watching a short–form web series? 

Which one are you watching?” 

In the past few days, Kirsten and Roy had noticed the change in Madeleine. They weren’t so afraid of her anymore and would occasionally come over to joke around.
