A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 30

Melody thought for a moment and typed on her phone. "Sorry, I'm walking a bit slow."

She held the phone out toward Jeremy, reaching for his forearm so he could see it.

However, as soon as she touched Jeremy's arm, he flung her hand away.

Her arm was injured, and his movement worsened it. Melody's hand slipped, and her phone dropped to the ground.

Melody's pupils trembled. She stared at him in a panic, her hand frozen in midair. She couldn't hear anything, nor could she speak.

Jeremy's expression grew colder by the second. Melody finally realized she should not have grabbed him.

A rush of anxiety and fear spread through her chest. She shook her head at him, eyes full of apology and pleading.

Her lips tightened, her eyes dark and clear, showing guilt and a silent plea for understanding.

She hoped he wouldn't be upset because she couldn't explain herself right now.

Melody suddenly remembered something. She quickly picked up her phone to type.

However, when she looked up again, Jeremy had already walked away.

She instinctively tried to follow, but someone suddenly pulled her back.

A group of people was rushing a hospital bed down the hallway, passing right in front of her. She was nearly knocked over.

It was a junior nurse who had pulled her aside, looking annoyed. "I told you to move several times. Didn't you hear me?"

She let go of Melody and ran after the bed.

Melody, still shaken, found a chair nearby and sat down. She didn't dare join the crowd again, afraid she would cause more problems.

Caleb spotted her and looked surprised.

He hesitated for a second. "Do you need me to help you walk?"

When Melody followed Caleb back to the department, she could tell everyone was rushing around even more than usual.

Caleb led her straight into the doctors' office. She saw Jeremy and Krystal sitting together, a stack of patient files in front of them.

Krystal must have just arrived, too. She was still in her banquet attire, clearly not having time to change.

When they saw Caleb bring Melody in, they frowned.

Caleb led Melody to a seat nearby and explained, "Ms. Wardolf can't hear right now. So, I was worried about leaving her alone in the hallway. I brought her here instead. She said she's waiting for Dr. Chesson, so I figured she might as well wait in his office."

He finished and glanced at Jeremy. "Dr. Chesson, you could've gone and got her. What if something happened to her?"

He assumed Jeremy knew Melody was coming to wait for him, not realizing Jeremy had actually left her behind.
