A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 92

Melody spoke briefly with Felicia before leading the children away with Jeremy.

The medical community was interconnected, especially when it came to someone like Jeremy.

Arranging for the children's checkups was just a matter of a phone call—after all, as someone from the Chesson family, he received preferential treatment wherever he went.

It was just that he rarely used his status for anything.

Melody was grateful. After calling Lydia to inform her about the checkups, she turned to him, saying, "Thank you for helping out. I'll make sure to pay you back for the costs."

He was replying to a message. At her words, he lifted his gaze. His deep eyes were devoid of any extra emotion, calm and indifferent.

"You can't afford it."

That one sentence left her speechless.

She had heard everything when he made the arrangements.

He had included every possible test in the checkups. If they were charged at standard hospital rates, the cost for each child wouldn't be less than 1,000.

"I still have to pay you back," Melody murmured. "Madam Callahan wouldn't accept this otherwise."

Jeremy didn't refuse her, only mentioning, "Do as you like."

She finally looked up and studied him carefully, but he looked the same as always—just a simple dress shirt and slacks.

Yet, because of his striking features, he could make such plain clothing look like high-end designer wear.

The children's checkups were taking a while. She leaned against the wall, staring at the tips of her shoes. Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. "You met up with Krystal's father today, didn't you?"

With a neutral hum, he responded, "He's upstairs."

"Oh." Melody nodded, unsure what else to say.

It wasn't her place to discuss the matter, so she could only quietly let go of her frustration when he refused to visit the orphanage that day.
