A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 12

Melody pursed her lips, not responding to Tiffany.

She knew that Jeremy wasn't standing up for her. He was merely showing the care a doctor would show a patient.

There was no denying that Jeremy was a great doctor. He was always logical and would always honor his duty as a doctor, treating each patient with the utmost diligence and care.

However, these would never amount to a special kind of care for Melody.

Melody turned to look in the direction where Krystal was cutting her cake and handing them out.

Krystal largely resembled Cheryl, but she didn't smile much. She remained expressionless even while slicing the cake. She seemed like she wasn't cutting cake but holding a scalpel instead.

Jeremy was sitting on the other side and looking over some papers with Harold, likely discussing a case.

Krystal carried a plate over and placed it in front of him. "Thank you for carrying the stuff for me today."

Jeremy looked up. "You're welcome. Andrew and Laura asked me to watch out for you."

"They're such busybodies."

Jeremy didn't respond and turned his attention back to the medical records in front of him.

Harold had brought it over earlier—a patient's previous treatment records.

Krystal turned her attention to it and asked casually, "What's this?"

"A patient who was just admitted with a skull fracture and a meningioma. There's other complications too, so it's a rather complex case."

Krystal paused, but she soon joined them in studying the case.

Harold studied the file alongside them for a while before he was called away. As he was about to leave, he heard Jeremy and Krystal debating whether the patient was suited for a more conservative treatment approach.

Shaking his head, he said helplessly, "We're having a get-together right now. If the two of you want to argue about this, you can continue doing so in the meeting tomorrow."

Neither Jeremy nor Krystal raised their heads when they simultaneously blurted, "I'll keep looking through this."

Harold had nothing to say and could only walk away.
