A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 34

Melody had only one wish left ever since Cheryl passed away, but she hadn't written down her wish for this year yet.

She took out a pen and a small slip of paper.

She hesitated for a moment before writing, but eventually, she carefully penned it down.

"I hope Jeremy stays safe and happy. I hope I can hear again."

As soon as she finished writing, Melody pressed her lips together with slightly furrowed brows.

Was she being too greedy asking for two things?

She lifted her pen again and struck out the second line and added, "I only have one wish."

She didn't dare to ask for too much, clinging to the hope that sincerity would be enough to fulfill her wish.

…

Melody didn't sleep at all that night. By the time she got up the next morning, her head was spinning.

Fortunately, she didn't have to go to the hospital today.

Felicia had texted her early in the morning to check in.

"Are you feeling any better today?"

Melody answered truthfully and said that she still couldn't hear.

"Are you sure you'll be okay alone at home? Should I come pick you up? At least my house has a housekeeper who can look after you."

"It's fine. I'll just stay home today. I won't go out," Melody replied.

Felicia asked, "What about Jeremy? You two live together, and he knows about your condition. Shouldn't he at least do something?"

Felicia had been Melody's best friend for years. Their families had business ties too, so Felicia knew everything about Melody, especially the fact that she lived with Jeremy.

Melody simply replied, "He's on shift today. He's busy."

Then, she put her phone down.

She knew Felicia didn't like Jeremy.

Actually, none of her friends did.

Jeremy drove straight to a more renowned medical center specializing in this field, where Andrew and Laura were already waiting.

Andrew greeted Jeremy as soon as they arrived and said, "We really appreciate you going out of your way to arrange a specialist for Mel."

Jeremy responded, "It's no trouble. Seth and I were classmates."

Andrew glanced at Melody. "Still no improvement?"

"She says she still can't hear."

Melody saw them mentioning her name and instinctively tensed up, her fingers twisting together unconsciously.

Andrew and Laura exchanged looks. Then, Andrew sighed and said, "We never expected this to happen. I spoke to Simon yesterday, and he said the chances of Mel's hearing recovering are very slim.

"I discussed it with Laura last night. If there's no hope of recovery, we won't let Mel continue working at the hospital. It'll only be more trouble if something goes wrong."

Laura coldly said, "Do we really need to wait until she's completely deaf to make that decision? If you ask me, she was never suited for hospital work in the first place.

"She can't hear, she's clumsy, and let's not forget that this is a hospital. It's a place for saving lives, not for her to play around in."

She shot Melody a sharp look. "Besides, Tessa's issue hasn't been resolved yet. She swears she had nothing to do with it, but why is it that Tessa suspects her and no one else?"
