A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 50

Melody's breath hitched, but she didn't say anything.

After confirming that Harold had placed the medication order, she turned and left.

This wasn't the first time she had heard Jeremy say she wasn't fit to work at the hospital.

She stepped out of the office and exhaled a slow, heavy breath.

She wasn't going to argue with him. After all, debating and proving herself with words had never been her strong suit.

She just needed to do her job well. That would be proof enough.

…

It didn't take long for the whole department to notice the tension between Melody and Jeremy.

Tiffany caught a moment alone with Melody and asked in a hushed voice, "What's going on with you and Dr. Chesson?"

Melody was changing into her uniform as she replied, "Nothing."

"Yeah, right." Tiffany knowingly looked at her. "You used to jump at the chance to ask Dr. Chesson if he needed anything whenever he came to the nurse's station, but you've been going out of your way to avoid him lately."

Melody said, "I'm working in the ICU now. I've been busy and haven't been at the nurse's station."

"What about lunch then?" Tiffany pressed. "You don't even eat with us anymore. You didn't eat at all when you ran into Dr. Franklin and Dr. Chesson that day."

Melody pressed her lips together and stayed quiet.

She had been avoiding Jeremy on purpose. It wasn't that she had no temper and could let him mock her without pushing back.

Maybe she had been in the wrong in the past, which was why she was willing to swallow her pride and apologize. But this time, she didn't believe she had done anything wrong.

Tiffany saw her lower her head in silence and added, "Honestly, it's good to see you standing your ground. We've all been watching and getting frustrated for you. Dr. Chesson's personality isn't something most people can tolerate."
