A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 35

Andrew shot Laura a glare. "Can you stop talking for once? Mel's right here!"

Laura remained indifferent. "She can't hear anyway. And even if she could, would it change anything? It's the truth, isn't it?"

It was common knowledge that Laura didn't like Melody. She resented the fact that her own daughter had gone missing while Andrew had taken in this orphan and expected her to treat Melody like her own child.

On top of that, he had given her everything that was supposed to belong to Krystal to Melody instead.

Melody couldn't hear their conversation, but she knew better than to look their way.

After years in the Wardolf residence, she had learned that whenever Andrew and Laura argued in front of her, it was almost always about her.

Andrew didn't want to cause a scene at the hospital entrance and turned to Jeremy. "Jeremy, you should head back to the hospital. We've already troubled you enough by making you take time out of your day to bring Mel here."

Jeremy's expression remained unreadable as his gaze shifted to Melody.

She had her eyes lowered, and her lashes cast faint shadows over her cheeks. Her lips were tightly pressed together too, betraying a trace of nervousness.

"I took the day off," Jeremy calmly said. "I'll stay and ask Seth about the details."

Melody had been going for regular checkups for her ears, but she was usually alone for them. It was rare, almost unheard of, for someone to accompany her.

While everyone else stayed outside discussing her condition with Seth, she was left alone in the office.

Melody turned to the window and watched them.

Jeremy stood with his usual composed demeanor. His neatly pressed shirt fit him perfectly.

Maybe it was a habit from his profession, but he would instinctively repeat key questions as he spoke to Seth.

Even from a distance, Melody could make out that he kept saying "ear" over and over.

By the time they finally returned, she had already spent ten minutes playing mobile games.

Still, Seth couldn't help but find it odd how strongly Andrew and Laura had reacted to his words. His gaze unconsciously flicked toward Melody just in time to see her eyelashes tremble slightly.

Andrew turned to Jeremy with a worried expression. "From what Dr. Seth is saying, there's a possibility this could happen again since it's already happened once.

"Jeremy, do you really think Mel is fit to continue working at the hospital?"

Jeremy hesitated for a brief moment. "Her department needs to be informed of the situation."

Andrew dismissively waved a hand. "Neurosurgery demands an exceptional level of focus. The last thing we need is for Mel to become a liability.

"I'll contact Dr. Turner later."

Jeremy gave a quiet hum in response.

He agreed with Andrew. Someone who couldn't even take care of herself certainly wasn't suited to be a nurse, let alone care for patients.
