We can’t afford to fall sick because we also think the medical bill is too expensive.”
Stanley scoffed. “If you also think that it’s extortion, then discharge me right now, I’m done with the treatment. This hospital thrives by exploiting its patients!— Then, he demonstrated how exasperated he was by grabbing a cup next to him and hurling it forward. There was some water in the cup, splashing its contents as it flew through the air. Some of the water fell on Melody’s hand too
The worst part was that it was a cup of hot water.
The skin on Melody’s hand immediately tumed red, causing the ward to erupt in panic. As fate would have it, Caleb and Jeremy were walking in the hallways of this part of the ward. When they heard what happened, they hurried over at once.

Melody nodded in response. Her hand hurt so much that she would have cried it she hadn’t suppressed it, considering how much she was scared of pain.

Then, after thinking about it, she chose to squat by Stanley’s bed. “Forget it. It’ll just take a second. By the time my hand is wrapped in gauze, it‘ harder. So, let’s do you first. ”

Melody moved fast and inserted the catheter for Stanley. Then, she told him to refrain from moving too much and adjusted the IV drip before she lett jeremy followed her out of the ward. Her smile faded as soon as she stepped outside. The bum on her hand was too much to beat.
When she sensed that Jeremy was behind her, the stopped walking and asked, “Is there a reason you’re looking for me?”

Melody gulped and explained softly, “I can guarantee that it’s fine.
