Chapter 15
Melody paused for a moment.
Caleb said, “We were just eating downstairs. Dr. Chesson specifically bought you this cake. He said it was your birthday yesterday.
Maybe it was because he had said Melody was deat yesterday, so Caleb still fell a bit awkward.
He hesitated. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Ms. Wardalt, your birthday was yesterday, too? Let me wish you a happy birthday. I still have something to do, so I’ll go back to my office. Enjoy the cake.”
After speaking, he turned and left, as though he was worried Melody might call out to stop him
Tiffany was also at the nurse’s station. As soon as Caleb walked away, she immediately came over and said, “Mel, was it your birthday yesterday as well?”
Melody nodded,
Tiffany said, “Then why didn’t you say anything yesterday.”
She didn’t even finish before she suddenly realized the situation and stopped talidng.
Yesterday, everyone had been celebrating Krystal’s birthday, Nobody noticed Melody arall.
Tiffany finally realized why Melody’s mood had been so off yesterday.
Anyone would be upset if nobody remembered their birthday and they still had to cheerfully celebrate someone else’s. Nobody would feel happy in that situation.
However, Tiffany looked over at the cake sitting there and blinked. She asked carefully, “Mel, why would Dr. Chesson poder you a cake today?

“Yesterday was really busy in our department. I told him not to order the cake then.”
It was obviously an excuse, but Melody couldn’t come up with anything else to say. Fortunately, Tiffany didn’t press
Melody wanted to shift Tiffany’s focus, so she said, “Since you’re here, take the cake and share it with everyone. Have some together.”
“Sue!” Tiffany smiled as she opened the box. However, she froze when she saw what was inside.
Jeremy had ordered Melody a mango cake.
Everyone at the nurse’s station knew Melody was allergic to mango. Someone brought a mango once, and Melody ate just a small piece. She ended up covered in hiver.
Melody also saw the mango cake. Her pupils contracted, and her hands slowly clenched at her sides. Her heart suddenly felt empty.
he had been allergic to mung pes since she was a child. She had mentioned it many times in front of Jeremy. She couldn’t believe he wouldn’t remember.
Tittany looked at the cake Star wasn’t sure what to do and could only look at Melody hesitantly.
Melody couldn’t describe how she felt. She didn’t even have the energy to make exquiÑes,

Melody felt anxious. She could sense the dryness in her throat, but she still wanted to ask, “Did you pick that cake yourself?= Her eyes were bright and persistent. She waited for his answer
