A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 36

Melody lifted her head and stared blankly at Jeremy.

She then turned to Andrew. However, it was only to see his heavy expression.

He spoke to her slowly, carefully enunciating his words as if making sure she could understand. He said, "Mel, your hearing loss is too severe. It's best for you to leave your job at the hospital and take it easy at home."

Melody's eyes widened in shock. She furiously shook her head, unable to believe what she was hearing.

She didn't want to lose her job. She had been saving up for surgery and worked hard to get into Jembina Hospital on her own merits, despite Andrew opposing her working there from the start.

Melody kept shaking her head. Her lips parted as if she wanted to argue, but no sound came out. Yet, it was obvious she was saying no.

She desperately turned to Andrew, shaking her head again and again. Then, she fumbled for her phone and rapidly typed, "Simon said I'll be fine in a couple of days, and I can continue working at the hospital."

Andrew frowned. "Mel, you can't be this stubborn. What if your condition ends up delaying a patient's care?"

"I won't. I promise I won't."

"This isn't about promises. It's about risk. And we don't need to take that risk."

His voice was measured as if he was reasoning with a child. "The Regallo Group has already suffered serious damage because of what happened with you and Tessa. If something else happens at the hospital, it will only make things worse.

"Mel, you need to consider the Wardolf family too. You can't just think about yourself."

Melody didn't understand why Andrew refused to believe that she could do this job. It was as if she had always been incompetent in his eyes.

But she had worked at the hospital for an entire year without making a single mistake. She had even received compliments!

Her only hope now was Jeremy.

She turned to him, hoping that he would speak up for her and that he would tell Andrew she was capable.
