Chapter 17
Tittany answered, “There was an emergency in the ward. Melody was busy there and asked me to come.
jeremy paused for a moment. He lowered his eyes and said nothing. They were still in the preparation stage, and the patient had not arrived yet.
Tiltam hesitated for a hit before she spoke again. “Do Chesson.”
Jeremy kept his head down as he get ready.
Tittany and Melody had started at the hospital around the same time and had always been close. She remembered how disappointed Melody seemed at noon. She couldn’t help but want to speakup focher
She looked at jeremy and said, “Ch. Chesson, you remember Melody is allergic to mango, right? I get that you’re usually busy and might forget sometimes, but you ordered a mango cake for her birthday.”
She lowered her voice and continued, “That might not have been a good idea.”
She felt a bit hesitant as she said it. This was Melody’s matter, not hers still, she couldn’t help speaking up.
The mango cake was eventually shared among the nurses. Once they learned it was a birthday cake from Jeremy, no one said anything to Melody directly, but they started whispering behind her back
Tillamy never told Melody what they were saying because she felt bad for her.
Jeremy went silent for a moment after hearing Tiffany’s words. His dark eyes were deep, and he pressed his thin lips together. He seemed to be thinking
No wonder Melody had asked if he bought the cake himself.

jeremy had just finished surgery. He looked a bit tired, though the crisp white coat made him seem less so, leaving the impression of cool detachment.
He glanced at Melody, but she avoided his eyes. She kept her head down and continued working. Usually, whenever she saw Jeremy approach, she would at least ask if he needed anything
Even so, Jeremy still spoke, “After work, come back with me.
Melody froze for a second and didn’t react immediately by then, Jeremy had already walked off.
Tiffany, who had just finished in the operating room, could rest for a while. She was checking her phone and suddenly exclaimed, “Oh wow! Do you know who the patient in Bed 5 is?”
Another nurse answered right away, “You just came out of surgery. We saw the news already. The patient in Bed 5 is a famous female entrepreneur
“Until now, our bead nurse has been taking care of Bed 5, and she kept the secret trally well. But apparently, someone spilled the news. I saw that there’s a big uproar online, and now all kinds of indo about her, including her illness, has been leaked. Her company’s stock took a big hit,”
Tittany kept chatting with them, but Melody didn’t pay attention.
The hospital had rules against invading patient privacy.
After taking cate of everything, she took out her phone. She was going to message Felicia and ask her to grab dinner together. However, she saw a message troi Andrew. “Comur bune tonight”
It was past timer words. Looking back at her entire chat history with Andrew, Andrew always used the same direct, almost c
