A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 63

Melody hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Ophelia asked me to bring this to you."

Jeremy's gaze darkened. He looked at Melody before frowning again, clearly impatient. "Then give it back to her, and tell her not to disrupt my work anymore."

The word "disrupt" came out a little harsh. It almost felt like he was directing it to Melody instead.

Krystal glanced at the thermos on the desk and said, "Our office isn't a place for sentimental gestures, and it's definitely not a cafeteria."

Melody bit her lip and looked up at Jeremy again. She happened to catch the fleeting frustration on his face.

She could only lower her voice and apologize, saying, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come at this time."

Jeremy didn't even lift his gaze. His attention was solely fixed on the stack of documents in front of him.

Neurosurgeons handled critical cases every day, with patients always teetering on the edge of life and death.

Even for someone like Jeremy, it required absolute concentration to determine the most precise treatment plans.

So, Melody picked up the thermos and left the office. She then leaned against the hallway wall while waiting for Ophelia.

After a while, Ophelia came out with a gloomy expression. She didn't seem surprised when she glanced at the thermos in Melody's hand. "He wouldn't take it, would he?"

Melody explained, "He's busy. He didn't have time."

But Ophelia saw right through her forced response. "Did he give you an attitude again?"

Everyone knew what Jeremy was like. It was the reason Ophelia had never been able to get close to him.

Melody lowered her gaze and softly said, "No, I interrupted his work hours.

"Ophelia, I'm sorry." She held the thermos out to Ophelia.
