A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 53

Melody suddenly couldn't bring herself to look at the photos anymore. She thanked Alexis, confirmed their next shooting date, and was about to get some rest.

Just then, Alexis reminded her to accept the payment.

The 500 dollars had already been transferred, but Melody hadn't accepted it yet.

"If you don't take it, I'll feel bad," Alexis said. "I might not dare to book you again. Photography isn't exactly easy work, and you'll also need to maintain your figure and take care of your skin for the shoots."

So, Melody accepted the payment.

But then, her thoughts drifted back to the misunderstanding with Jeremy downstairs.

After hesitating, she opened their chat and slowly typed, "Sorry, I really didn't mean it that way just now. I was just surprised to run into you at the hotel. It was my fault for phrasing it poorly."

As expected, Jeremy didn't reply.

Melody then scrolled up through their past conversations—almost every message was from her.

Jeremy mostly didn't respond or simply sent a blank space as acknowledgment.

As Melody looked at those empty replies scattered among her carefully worded messages, she fell silent.

It was as if she was only worth the effort of pressing the spacebar to Jeremy.

…

The next day, Melody saw the visiting professor from Averland at the hospital.

Jeremy and Krystal stood beside him, conversing effortlessly in Averic. They looked like the perfect pair.

Then, she overheard people whispering nearby.

"I heard it was Tessa who invited this professor here. Dr. Chesson and Dr. Finnigan have the best Averic among everyone else in our department. Besides, Dr. Finnigan even did an exchange program abroad."

"The chief always liked Dr. Chesson. Dr. Finnigan is impressive too. We can't even hold a basic conversation compared to them. The medical terminology is way too difficult."

Melody pressed her lips together, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Tiffany nudged her and whispered, "Melody, I remember your Averic is pretty good, right?"

Before she could respond, Harold asked, "Does anyone want to take the professor for a tour about our medical equipment? Dr. Chesson and Dr. Finnigan have a meeting later and can't do it."

Caleb muttered, "Can I use a translation app to talk to him?"
