Melody lifted her eyes to look at him. His deep voice was inherently warm, but his lack of emotion made it sound cold and detached.

Jeremy paused, then added, "The department is already drawing a lot of attention, and some patients have been disturbed."

It took Melody a while to grasp what he meant. He was worried she might drag the department into the mess.

She calmed down and asked, "So?"

"I'm just telling you one of the possible consequences. If you bring trouble to the department, there's no guarantee you'll be allowed to stay at the hospital."

Jeremy spelled out the consequences for her clearly. "Ask yourself if you can take the fallout. If you can't, then refuse as soon as you can."

The Chesson family worked with the Wardolf family, so he could help if needed.
