Chapter 80
Melody’s feet were still wobbly as jeremy had carried her into the bathroom earlier.
When she looked into his icy gaze, she immediately snapped out of the sappy feeling she had after she slept with him. Meanwhile, he walked past her without a second thought.
He accidentally brushed against Melody’s shoulder when he walked out of the bathroom. Her feet gave way, and she immediately fell to the floor. However, he
Her knees landed on the tiles, and the pain was excruciating. It hurt so much that she shed tears. She had to stay on the bathroom floor for a while before she could pick herself up.
By the time Melody cleaned herself up and went out to the living mom, Jeremy was already long gone, and the apartment was empty. It was as if everything that happened mere moments age were nothing but fantasies.
He didn’t retum home for the rest of the night. She didn’t know how dire last night’s situation was until she went to her department the next day. Jeremy wasn’t the only one who got summoned. Harold and the others himled back to the hospital as well.
“Mel, what’s the red mark on your neck? Is it a mosquita bite?” Tiffany suddenly asked.
Melody raised her hand to cover her neck and answered clumsily, “Probably. There are more mosquitoes lately.”
The head nurse walked past her and gave her a deliberate look, malding her feel extremely embarrassed.
Then, noon came. The head nurse called Melody over and talked to the latter privately, “Things aren’t exactly looking up for Tessa.”
Most of Melody’s colleagues in the same department had her back. They were also waiting for her to gather evidence and defend herself.
Melody felt anxious about it too, but there was nothing she could do about it. Fortunately, Ophelia sent over some findings in the aftemoon.
Rosano did leak the news about Tessa’s condition. She was poor and needed money. That was how an unethical reporter managed to bribe her with 500,000 dollars inexchange for evidence of Tessa’s hospitalization.
Rosario waited for the ten–minute power outage and took pictures of Tessa’s hospitalization report. On top of that, she got a hidden security camera from th same reporter and installed it when she was cleaning up the room
Not only did Rosario take pictures of Tessa, but she also talled Tessa for a few days.
Melody was struck by utter disbelief as she went through the documents. After that, she immediately sent them to Benson and the hospital authorities,
She walked back to the nurse’s station with a complicated mix of emotions. Then, Tiffany frantically sprinted out of a ward before she ran over.
“Mel, something terrible happened. Y–You have to get over there now!
“Mr. Comwell suddenly fell ill. He went into convulsion before passing out. They had just wheeled him over to the emergency room.
“Caleb told me that they might not be able to save him this time!”
Melody’s breath caught in her throat, but she kept her cool, replying, “Don’t worry, I don’t think he’s beyond saving. I believe in Dr. Lancaster and the others.” Tiffany said, “What has been going on for the past few days? Several patients fell in our department one after another. Let’s not forget about the patient from last right. With that said, you’ve always been in charge of Mr. Comwell. You have to…”
Melody knew what Tiffany was going to say, Stanley obeyed no one except her when he was first admitted to Jembina Hospital. That was why the head murse arranged for her to take charge of him.
It was common for medical personnel to share some bonding with the patients they looked after with great care,
Meindy thought back to the mint candy Stanley gave her and said to Tittany, “I’ll be fine. He might be sent back to his ward sourer than we think.”
However, she couldn’t be muur wrONE
It was around 3:00 pen when Caleb came out of the operating room with a grim look. Stanley died on the operating table.
Melody lupprued to be returning to the nurse’s station when she heard his conversation with the head nurse, and she was routed to the spot.
A hospital was the most humane place there could ever be. At the same time, it was also unforgivingly merciless. Not only did it house the joy that accompanied the birtland a new life, but it also contained the boundless anguish that came with death.
