A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 133

Melody filled Tiffany in on everything that had happened in the department lately.

After a long silence, Tiffany gave her a strained smile that looked more like she was about to cry. "Melody, I don't think I ever told you, but when the director spoke with me, he mentioned that someone's been pressuring the hospital."

She looked discouraged. "Of course, the hospital's not going to offend certain people just to protect a low-level nurse like me."

She didn't say it outright, but Melody understood what she meant. She was suggesting that Andrew had said something to the hospital.

Otherwise, Tiffany wouldn't be telling her this.

Tiffany added, "I'm not trying to stir anything up between you two, but besides her, I can't think of anyone else who'd go this far. But Melody, you should be careful. She's clearly targeting you, too."

At this point, she wasn't holding anything back.

Melody had wondered whether the Wardolf family had stepped in, but hearing Tiffany say it out loud still made her heart sink.

No wonder every time she'd gone to speak with the director, the director always found some excuse to avoid the conversation.

Melody tried to reassure her. "Don't worry. I'll talk to the head nurse and everyone else—we're all on your side. The fact that the hospital's dragging its feet on the punishment? That's already the best-case scenario. We're all waiting for you to come back."

Tiffany pouted. "It's fine. I've made peace with it. It's not like I can't do something else. It's not the hard work I'll miss, it's the people."

Then, she suddenly changed the subject. "Hey, can you do me a favor?"

Melody nodded seriously. "Of course. Anything I can help with."

Tiffany looked a little embarrassed. She hesitated. "Could you maybe give me your friend's number? He doesn't have a girlfriend, right?"

The sudden switch in topics caught Melody completely off guard. She blinked. "Which friend?"

"Oh, come on, that guy at the ER! The one in the work jacket—remember?" Tiffany's cheeks flushed. That guy looked exactly like her dream type.

Melody choked a little, then quickly answered, "He doesn't have a girlfriend, but he…"

Jason had a stutter. She wasn't sure how to explain that to Tiffany. After thinking it over, she decided it was best to just send him a message and pass along his number directly.

It'd be better if he told Tiffany himself.

Tiffany beamed as she saved Jason's number. No one could tell she'd just been suspended from work.

Just as she saw Tiffany off, Lydia's call came in.

Lydia asked tactfully, "Melody, have we heard anything back from the food inspectors yet?"
