A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 228

If this had been at the very beginning, Melody would have definitely chosen to be a nurse without hesitation. To be honest, she had chosen the nursing profession because of Jeremy, but she also genuinely liked the job.

She was naturally attentive, and every time she saw a patient recover under her care, she felt a deep sense of satisfaction. That satisfaction brought a warmth that would well up from deep inside.

That was why people in her department often said that she had a good personality and was patient with her patients. In fact, in a way, she was also seeking the same comfort and warmth for herself.

But there was still a very practical issue.

She reached up to touch her ear.

Her ear surgery needed money.

The children at the orphanage needed money.

And as a nurse, it was difficult to save money.

…

In the morning, Melody woke up to the sound of Jeremy leaving.

She took her time and slowly got up. She had a night shift that day, so she had plenty of time to rest before that.

It was also the perfect opportunity to spend some time at home with Echo and get it used to the place.

However, as soon as Melody got out of bed, she suddenly felt dizzy. She instinctively leaned against the bedpost to steady herself, but at the next second, a sharp, stabbing pain shot through her ear.

The pain only lasted for a few seconds before slowly easing off, but it was enough to make Melody pause for a moment.

After the pain had faded completely, she opened the door and went out.

There, Echo was pitifully curled up in the corner of the room. When it saw her come out, it wobbled over to her and shook as it ran.

Melody gave Echo some dog food and played with it for a while before attending to her own matters.

Melody raised her hand to press against her ear, hoping to alleviate the pain, but it didn't help at all.

By then, her face had turned pale from the pain and fear.

This was the most intense pain she had experienced since her ear trouble had started. Her whole body trembled, and she had no choice but to try calling Jeremy again.

…

Meanwhile in the conference room, a serious consultation regarding the new patient who had just been transferred was going on.

Jeremy's phone vibrated for the third time, interrupting his thoughts. He frowned as he looked at it.

"Melody" kept flashing on the screen.

A flash of frustration crossed his eyes, and he turned off the phone.
