A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 89

Melody had no idea how she got out of the car and made it home.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already washed up and was lying in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She kept wondering how things between her and Jeremy would end up. Even breathing hurt because years of feelings weren't something she could just discard.

…

The department had been hectic these past few days. People rushed in and out, and she hadn't had a single break all morning.

Melody had no idea whether Jeremy had returned the necklace to Krystal and could only stay away from them.

When she received a call from the director of Green Moon Orphanage, Lydia Callahan, she was changing her clothes.

Lydia was in her fifties, unmarried and childless, having dedicated her life to caring for the children at the orphanage.

"Melody, has Jason mentioned that the orphanage is holding a charity event this weekend? Will you be coming back for it?"

Lydia sounded hesitant, but Melody immediately answered, "I'll be there."

Chuckling, Lydia said, "I knew you'd say that. You've always cared about the orphanage. Ever since middle school, you've been donating money and books whenever you could—not a lot, but you never stopped.

"Then, in college, you worked part-time just to help pay for the kids' tuition. Even now that you're working, you still send money every month. Taylor and the others keep asking me when you will visit again."

Just hearing about the kids made Melody's smile soften. "Tell them I'll be there this weekend. Jason and Felicia will be coming too."

Lydia hesitated before speaking again. "Melody, your boyfriend is a doctor, isn't he?"

She knew about Melody's engagement to Jeremy. Back when they got engaged, Andrew had invited her to the ceremony to keep up appearances.

Melody asked, "Why?"

"I was wondering if you could ask him to come along this weekend. I want to have the kids checked out." Lydia sounded embarrassed, but it only caused Melody to frown.

She asked, "Doesn't Regallo Charity Foundation have a budget specifically for the kids' medical checkups?"
