A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 46

By the time Melody finished tidying up, it was already late.

As she passed by the doctor's office, she spotted Caleb inside.

He glanced at her and said, "Dr. Chesson had already left with Dr. Finnigan."

Emotionlessly, Melody replied, "Oh."

It wasn't unusual for Jeremy to leave without waiting for her after work. In fact, he didn't like her waiting for him unless there was something they absolutely had to do together.

If Andrew hadn't publicly announced their engagement in the first place, most people in the hospital probably wouldn't even believe the two of them knew each other.

Melody remained silent as she headed downstairs until she suddenly spotted Felicia standing outside the entrance.

Melody was startled for a moment before asking, "What are you doing here at the hospital?"

Felicia dramatically sighed. With a helpless look, she said, "I'm waiting for you to eat, obviously. I tried calling, but your phone was turned off. So, I had no choice but to stake out the entrance."

Melody suddenly remembered that she had set her phone to silent and left it in the locker when she entered the ICU earlier that afternoon.

She hadn't checked it since.

She softly apologized, "I was swamped all afternoon."

"It's fine. I wasn't in a rush anyway." Felicia grabbed her hand and started pulling her forward. "Come on, come on, we've got someone else waiting too."

Melody's eyes lit up. "Jason is here too?"

Just as she spoke, she caught sight of a familiar figure standing outside.

The tall, young man had a buzz cut and bronze skin. Years of physical labor had given him a solid build and broad shoulders too. His whole person would provide a strong sense of security to anyone around him.

"Jason!" Felicia called out.

Jason turned toward them.

Krystal walked closely beside him. She was speaking in hushed tones while Jeremy occasionally responded with a slight nod.

Melody's gaze naturally landed on them, and it was clear that Jeremy had also noticed her.

And then, he saw Jason and Felicia standing beside her.

His eyes flickered for a brief moment.

Melody instinctively met his gaze and asked, "Why are you back?"

Jeremy's dark eyes reflected her face for a fleeting second before he looked away just as quickly. Then, he walked right past her without answering, as if she were nothing but air.

…

Back in the department, Caleb was frowning. "Tessa just lost consciousness out of nowhere. They're still trying to resuscitate her."
