A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 176

Melody had more to say, but Jeremy was already walking toward Krystal.

The patient standing next to Krystal was an elderly woman. Her son had just undergone a craniotomy last week, and she had been in tears every day since.

Melody clenched her fists as she watched Jeremy head over to Krystal. But in the end, she didn't say anything.

Andrew and Laura had repeatedly reminded him to take good care of Krystal, and Jeremy was merely helping out.

…

When Melody clocked out that afternoon, she went to wait for Jeremy as usual. However, it was only to find him still with Krystal.

When Jeremy saw her, he expressionlessly said, "I'll send Krystal home first."

Krystal was holding a bag filled with documents. She matter-of-factly handed it to Jeremy. "Can you help me carry this?"

Jeremy reached for it without saying anything.

The words "Let me help you" had been on the tip of her tongue, but now, Melody could only swallow them back down.

As Krystal's foot was injured, they could only walk slowly.

There were two exits in their department—one involved stairs, while the other headed straight out.

At the moment, the exit that didn't involve stairs was blocked by a patient on a stretcher who had just undergone a check-up. Thus, Krystal went straight for the stairs.

But the stairs clearly weren't going to be easy, and especially so in her current condition.

Upon seeing this, Melody's professional instincts kicked in, and she walked over to Krystal. "Let me help you down," she softly said.
