Melody quickly tried to explain, “It’s not from mDC…
But before she could finish, Jeremy cut her off, “Get out.”
He tossed the files in his hand onto the desk with a cold expression, and his voice was completely indifferent.
“I don’t need anything from you”
Chapter 6
soment before explaining, “Ophelia asked me to bring this to you.”
Jeremy’s gaze darkened. He looked at Melody before frowning again, clearly Impatient. “Then give it back to her, and tell her not to dispt my work anymore.”
The wad“dampt” came out a little harsh. It almost felt like he was directing it to Melody instead.
Krystal placed at the thermos on the desk and said, “Our office isn’t a place for sentimental gestures, and it’s definitely not a cafeteria.”
Melody bat hai lip and looked up at Jeremy again. She happened to catch the fleeting frustration on his face,
She coedd unly lower her voice and apologize, saying, “Tin sony. I shouldn’t have come at this time.”
Jeremy didn’t even lift his page. His attention was solely med on the stack of documents in front of him.
Bremsurgeons handled critical cases every day, with patients always teetering on the edge of life and death
Even for someone like Jeremy, it required absolute concentration to determine the most precise treatment plans.
So, Melody picked up the thermos and left the office. She then leaned against the hallway walls waiting for Ophelia
After a while, Oplelia came out with a gloomy expression. She didn’t seem surprised when she glanced at the thermos in Melody’s hand. “He wouldn’t take it,
Melody explained, “He’s busy. He didn’t have time.”
But Opelia sow right through her forced response. “Did he give you an attitude again?”
Everyone knew what Jeremy was like. It was the reason Ophelia had never been able to get close to him.
Melody lowered her gaze and softly said, “No, I interupted his work hours
“Ophelia, I’m sorry.” She held the thermos out to Ophelia
hut Ophelia said, “If he won’t drink it, you should, I made it mainly for you–he was just an afterthought.”
If Owen hadn’t reminded her, she might not have even thought of Jeremy,
Upon Melody still hesitating, she asked, “Are you off work now?”
“Yeah, I just finished the night shift “
“I’ll drive you home.” Ophelia offered.
Ophelia drove a BMW. At a red light, she spoke again, “I just saw Tessa. She’s in bad shape, but she’s still insisting that you’re the reason she ended up like that.” Melody tried. “It wasn’t me! I didn’t even know she was at our hospital,”
Ophelia said, “I believe you. But Melody, your words won’t change anything. You need proof. Otherwise, this accusation will keep hanging over you.” She pressed her lips together and continued, “Especially when Tessa probably doesn’t have much time left.”
Melody’s expression grew heavier, and a bitter smile played on her lips. “Ophella, do you think I haven’t tried? I’ve checked all the hospital surveillance footage, but I haven’t found anything
No one was more desperate than she was. Everyone kept telling her that if she wanted to clear her name, she had to produce evidence, but she couldn’t find any. She ld even gone through all the footage with Harold–there had been nothing out of the ordinary.
Ophelia studied Melody for a moment and suddenly asked, “Are the people going in and out of Tessa’s room strictly regulated?”
Melody nodded. “Yes, Jeremy’s the doctor, and the nurses are the head nurse and another senior nurse. There haven’t been any issues.”
“What about the cleaning statt ?“
Melody room. She hadn’t even considered that. She had never paid attention to the janitors who went in to clean.
Ophelia lightly said, “Toply noticed because I saw cleaner inside when i walled in. But it might be worth looking into. A while back, our school had a theft case It turned out the janitor arad a security guard were working together.”
Melody’s brows bunowed slightly as it something was clicking into place.
