A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 98

Melody, knowing that she didn't have the medical expertise of a doctor, had no right to interfere with Jeremy's work. If she simply focused on her duties as a nurse, that was, in its own way, a form of support.

She immediately returned to the nurse's station and threw herself into work. There was no such thing as downtime for a nurse. Though her cold had subsided, her stomach remained unsettled, and her complexion appeared pallid.

It was then that the senior nurse on duty, Cameron Smith, noticed her condition and suggested, "Why don't you take a break and grab something to eat, Mel?"

Melody gently shook her head, replying, "I can't really do that right now. I have a patient who just pressed the call button, and I have IV fluids to change and injections to administer."

It was then that one of the nurses, Natalie Clarke, chimed in, exclaiming, "I can't believe how demanding the neurosurgery department is! It was a walk in the park back when I was still in the proctology department. I feel like I need eight hands just to keep up with everything here. If I could, I'd switch departments in a heartbeat—even the neurology department would be better than this."

Cameron rolled her eyes, commenting, "You only think that the proctology department is easy because there weren't many patients back then. You ought to know that every department is drowning in work. You should consider yourself lucky that you're not in the pediatrics or obstetrics and gynecology department, where you have to deal with both the patients and their families."

Natalie suddenly turned to Melody, asking, "You're truly something else, Mel. You were always at the top of the class back then, and now you're still the hardest-working one here. It's as if you never get exhausted. Is being a nurse your lifelong dream, Mel? Is it possible that you're trying to become some kind of guardian angel?"

Melody's lashes fluttered as she remained silent, thinking about her dream.

Cameron added, "You know Mel takes her job seriously, so maybe it's time for you to do the same. You see, the head nurse is probably retiring in a couple of years."

It was then that someone suddenly said, "I'm sure it's going to be Mel, then."

Melody, however, immediately furrowed her brow and explained, "That's impossible. I haven't been here that long, and I still have a lot to learn."

She had no desire to continue the discussion with them. Having prepared the medication for the patients, she was about to leave when someone suddenly knocked on the reception desk.
