A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 28

Felicia had only focused on Melody's ear earlier and hadn't noticed her arm.

Jeremy followed Krystal's gaze to Melody. Her skin was pale, and the little cuts on her arm stood out. There was dried blood, which made it look worse.

His face grew colder. His voice dropped as he said, "The emergency room is just downstairs. Get your wounds taken care of, then go home."

Melody kept her head down and didn't speak, as though she hadn't heard.

Jeremy stood in front of her. Seeing her like this made him feel an odd sense of frustration.

He had never noticed how thin she was. Her arms and neck were so slender that a strong gust of wind might blow her away.

Felicia couldn't hold back anymore. She pulled Melody behind her and said, "You two are doctors. You've been talking for a while and never noticed something is wrong?"

She wore a sarcastic smile as her eyes flicked over Jeremy. "When you show concern for your patient, can you also check on your fiancée? She took off her hearing aid. She can't hear you."

Jeremy's brow twitched. He looked at Melody.

He met her eyes just as she looked away, clearly afraid.

She clung to Felicia's hand. People only did that when they had no sense of security.

Jeremy's gaze darkened. "Why did she remove her hearing aid?"

Felicia wanted to explain, but Melody had already pulled her hand and walked off.

She didn't want to tell Jeremy. She knew he would find her a burden.

Felicia stayed with Melody while she got her wounds treated. Then Felicia's workplace called, summoning her to a meeting.

She hesitated. "I'll drive you home first. Then, I'll go to work."
