Tiffany noticed the way Melody grimmed as she clutched onto the ointment. So, she also smiled. “Ger. Now, I’m jealous. How can you say that there’s nothing between you and Dr. Chesson? He has never been this thoughtful,”
Then, noon came Melody dropped by the ward and checked on Stanley again. He was about to take a rap, but when he sew her, he immediately greeted her with a wave. As he had a wrinkly face, it was devoid of amusement, but did his best to look friendly
Stanley took his sweet time to pull out a mint candy from under his pillow and landed it to her. “You must be tired from your work. Here, have some candy Melody hurriedly turned down his offer. “I can’t, Mr. Comwell –

“You’re about the same age asher. She’s a graduate student, and she’s studying abroad.”
Stanley’s gaze came into focus when he talked about his granddaughter. The other patients in the ward also encouraged Melody to take the candy
Melody smiled faintly, her lips barely curving upward as she took it. She told him to look after himself before she left..
Things were busy in the hospital. It had been days since Jeremy had stepped foot in hals house because several patients with significant conditions were admitted Indo his department
She stood at the nurse’s stations, watching as the doctres meshed back and forth, tending to the patients,
It was Friday night by the time she received a phone call from Andrew. She had her day off on Saturdays, so she made an appointment with Alexis to get some photoshoot seasons done

With that said, Andrew sounded elated when he gave Melody a call this time. “Mel, don’t forget about dinner at home tomorrow. Devin’s back.”

Alter she hung up on Andrew, she raised her bead, only to find Jeremy standing in front of her. She had no idea how long he had been there. With a notebook in left hand and a pen in his right, it looked like he was Jotting down something.

“Sure,” came his calm response.
Melody telt much better after he agreed to go with her. If worse comes to worst, she would stir chose to him, which should keep terroin at arm’s length from her.
It was Saturday night, and she was just done with the photosbout sessions at Alexis‘ studio, Medialed jeremy’s phone, intending to ask him where he was. Warsh supposed to wait for him at her own place of the hospital?
However, Jeremy didn’t answer any of her call
Melody checked the time and realized that it was still eady. She decided she would head to the hospital and wait for Jeremy so that they could head home together. It she could avoid it, she didn’t want to face the Wardolls alone.
Alexis saw that Melody was leaving and informed her not to remove her makeup. She wanted to test how long the makeup would last. Alexis was more than a photographer, she also founded with her sister–in–law a commetic.companyi had been paining a reputation lately.
When Melody arrived at the hospital, Tiffany swiveled around her, checking her out. “How fantastic Mel, you’re already splendid without makeup. Now that you are weating makeup, you look even more gorgeous.”
“Stop it,” came Melody’s hasty response. “You’ll only cause the others to tease me
“You’re really pretty, to begin with. So, why can’t be honest? If you don’t believe what I’m saying, feel free to ask Dr. Chesson,” Tiffany replied teasingly and
winked
“Where is he away?” Melody was waiting for him in the first place.
Tittany elaborated, “He went into the operating room in the afternoon, and br
still inthere.
“As you know, the patients have been increasingly more difficult to treat these days. Dr. Franklin and the others all wished they could sprint to the re whenever they needed to use it.”
This explained why Jeremy didn’t take ber call earlier.
As soon as they were done talking, however, there was a commotion in the hallway. One of the nurses untily ran back, and Tiftarry immediately asked, “What happened?”
“Dr. Finnigan passed out as soon as she came out of the operating room, and she’s resting in the break room. I’m here to get some goose packets. Dr. Chesson and the others are watching over her as we speak.”
Melody was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly went to the break room. Harold and the others were in there as well. Krystal’s face was pale and devoid of color. She sat and leaned against the wall, resting het head on Jeremy’s shoulder.
Melody noticed their clasped fingers, and her eyes instinctherly flickered before the averted Hem. She was aware that what was happening now was very comminan. In her department, doctors would frequently become physically drained after an extended period of surgery.
Harold turned around and noticed her. “Impeccable timing, Ms. Wardolf. The surgery has taken a lot out of jeremy and Krystal. I need you to keep an eye on them.” Melody and Krystal were technically sisters. On top of that, she was jeietty’s fane. Now that she was here, the others would naturally love to make way for her She had no choice but to step forward. Then, the stopped in four of Jeremy. It was clear from his expression that he was exausted. Lelp Krystal up
*I’ll give her a hand. You should take a rest
Before he could say anything, Krystal moved to the side, getting out of Melody’s reach and coughing softly.
Her face was devoid of color, and her voice was hoarse when the spoke. “I don’t need your help “

fie that as it may, Krystal was weak and vulurralde, to begin with As she moved, the very nearly fell to the flour.
Fontely, Jereing held her by the shoulder and pulled her backup, just like that, she went back to resting her head on his shoulder.
