Chapter 64
Upon seeing that Melody seemed to take her words to heart, Ophelia didn’t press further and simply dropped Melody off at the apartment.
“It you need help, you can come to me. 1’ll do what I can,” she added.
Melody understood the unspoken message. She nodded, thanked Ophelia, and headed upstairs.
Whether it was a cleaner or a security guard, she would need access to surveillance footage to find out. But as a mirse, she didn’t have the authority to check the hospital security footage.
Previously, it was Harold who had helped her get pennission through the department head, but she couldn’t keep troubling him.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to wait for jereiny to come home and talk it over with him.
However, by the time it was evening, he still hadn’t returned.
After a while, Felicia called her, and Melody told her about being in a relationship with Jeremy.
Felicia said, “Does this count as a non–traditional version of marriage–before–love? At least Jeremy is acting like a man about it. It’s better than throwing five million at you and pretending nothing happened.”
Then, after a pause, she added. “Actually, no–five million wouldn’t be so bad.” she muttered under her breath, “If it were me, I’d take the five million. Men are useless anyway.“..
Melody blinked. “I don’t want five million.”
well, since you two are official now, and you were engaged anyway, it’s not a bad thing.”
Felicia would never discourage Melody, but she did give her a gentle reminder “Honestly, I think you should tell him about what happened in the past. Keeping everything to yourself isn’t fair, especially when it’s about your ear
“1 it weren’t for you helping him and Cheryl, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt.”
When old memories got brought up, Melody fell silent for a long time.
After a while, she softly said, “They didn’t know I was behind them. And 1 can’t say I did it for them. If I hadn’t acted, and something had happened to Cheryl, I wouldn’t have been able to live with it either.
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this.” Melody changed the subject, then she relayed everything that Ophelia had told her earlier and asked for Felicia’s opinion. Felicia analyzed the situation and said, “It’s definitely possible. Based on my years as a journalist, a lot of shady stuff happens because of the least suspicious prople
“You should bring it up to Jeremy. Have him pull the security footage. If you get a solid clip, send it to me. I’ll help you put out a clarification post,”
The situation with Tessa had blown up. The Internet was flooded with accusations, and Melody was getting attacked from all sides.
If she wanted to clear her name, she had no choice but to fight backonline.
After hanging up, she checked the time and found that it was almost 9:00 pmn–Jeremy should be home soon.
She pressed her lips together, went into the kitchen, and made him a plate of warm cinnamon rolls. She planned to talk about the surveillance footage over something sweet.
Besides, they were a couple now, Jeremy had admitted it himself.
Surely malong her boyfriend a late–night snack was normal, right?
Melody’s timing was perfect. She had just finished making the cinnamon rolls when Jeremy walked through the door,
She smiled. “Do you want a late–night snack?”
Jerenry didn’t even glance at the cinnamon rolls. “No.”
Melody was stummed and followed him toward the study. “Is the situation with the patient in Bed 18 really that complicated? Dr. Frankdin said you guys have been working on it for a week”
But before she could finish, Jeremy stopped at the study door.
He turned around to block her from going in.
Melody looked up in confusion.
Jeremy’s gaze dropped to hers as he said with a cold expression, “Why are you following me? The study isn’t within your designated areas.”
Melody’s brathhitched. “_”
she’d thought that since their relationship had changed, other things might b have changed too.
