Chapter 16
Jeremy paused. He glanced back at Melody. His dark eyes didn’t show any emotion,
For a second, Jeremy felt something shift inside when he met Melody’s pare.
However, it was only for a moment. He retumed to his former calm and said quietly, “No. Caleb picked it.”
The air seemed to freeze. Melody wasn’t sure how in react.
Should she be glad Jeremy hadn’t chosen the mango cake himself, or should she feel sad about just how caneless he was with her?
Melody felt lost. Her hands, hanging at her sides, curled into fists, then slowly relaxed.
Jeremy looked at her. “What’s wrong? Is there an issue with the cake?
Melody opened her mouth, unsure what to say.
Krystal had already walked over. She stopped next to Jeremy, and her brows knitted slightly. “It’s just a cake. What could be wrong with it?”
She glanced at Melody and said casually, “I saw Caleb order that cake. It’s the top–rated flavor from that shop. Are you not happy with it, or did you want something else?”
Jeremy didn’t speak, and he didn’t look irritated. He just glanced at his phone and said, “We have one minute until work starts. If you have something to say, say it.”
Melody bit her lower lip and suddenly couldn’t say a word.
Jeremy had gotten her a cake. Was there anything else the had to complain about?
At least he remembered her. This time, he didn’t ignore her. Even if she couldn’t eat that cake, he had still ordered it. That was enough.
Besides, Melody knew Jeremy well. To him, it was just a birthday cake. He didn’t care who bought it or what flavor it was
If she told him she didn’t like it, he would probably just order another one. However, she didn’t want anotherone.
Pushing for another cake would make it seem like she was making a fuss over nothing
She took a moment to steady herself, forcing a small smile. “Nothing. I just… wanted to say thank you.”
Jeremy responded with a nod
Melody looked at him, her heart hurting
Growing up, she learned to be thoughtful and hide how she really felt. Even if she didn’t like something, she couldn’t show it because it was from someone else’s kindness
Turning it down would make her seem ungrateful.
However, Melody thought of Tittany’s look of sympathy and shock when she saw mango cake.
She gathered her courage again. She wanted to remind Jeremy that she was allergic to mango,
Ver, she couldn’t make the words come out. She didn’t know if jeremy would remember her birthday next year anyway.
Krystal watched her without any expression. She suddenly said, “I the cake is fine, can you head out? Dr Chesson and I have some work to discu
Melody had been about to say something else, but Krystal’s words cut her off. She swallowed what she was going to say.
rgery was set for 100 pin. The head nurse sald Krystal would assist as well.
However, at 2:10 pin, the older gentleman in Bed 4 suddenly started commising. The catheter was accidentally driven deeper into the blood vessel, and blood weat everywhere..
Melody was called to handle it, but after the convulsions subsided, the patient refused to let anyone treat his wound.
Tiffany pushed Melody forward. “Mel, go and talk to him. He often listens to you.
Melody checked the time. It was already 2:45 pm. She looked at the older gentleman, who was lying these with a defiant look on his face and blood all over him.
She said to Tillany, “There’s a hematous renoval surgery at 1:00 pm with Dr. Chesson, and assist him I’ll handle things here.”
Alarmatoma temontal wasn’t too diticult, so Tittany agreed. She went to the operating rogin.
Jetenny was discussing something with the anesthesiologist. ite paused whendur saw Tiffany, Then, he asked, “Where is Melody? Why isn’t star lære?**
