Jeremia honestly couldn’t jusderstand how Melody waxcapable of feeling that many emotions daily. It felt like she was affected by anything and everything. Trith be told, in his eyes, she was irrational and unintelligent.
At the same time, Meloche’s hand had been grabbed. Het red eyes were bight with teams, and it took her awhile to find her voice. “Are you saying I’m emotional?”
she had no idea how
my arrived at this conclusion, but she was in a state of mess now. She simply couldn’t think logically at the moment. The only response she could think et was a briet and truthful one.
“I’m feeling a little disheartened and wanted to talk to you about it initially. The patient on bed number four post passed away. They couldn’t save him.”
By the time she got to the last part of het senterwe, Melody was already sobbing, able to suppress the sadness even if she wanted to
Although Jerenny’s expression softened a little and his cloudy eyes cased up as well, there was still that cold indifference between them.
Lowering his gare, he glanced at Melody, looking all businesslike, “You feel heartbroken because you lost the patient on bed number four, but you have also neglected your responsibility to the other patients as well
“You failed to adapt to a common occurrence in a hospital. Have you thought about the other patients waiting for you to treat them? What would happen to them if you allowed yourself to be this emotional every time?”
The break room was quite spacious and empty. Jeremy’s voice reverberated in there and hit Melody hard. His words hurt her in a way that kept suppressing her. forcing her to hold her breath as she looked at him in a daze.
Jeremy continued to speak in a reproachtul and confident tone. “You’re here because you took some time off. Let me ask you something You lost some time when vou allowed yourself to get emotional over the death of the patient on bed mumber four.
“How about the patient on the next bed and the one after that? In fact, what about all the other patients you are supposed to look after?
“Melody Wardolt, you are being irresponsible it you can’t keep a clear head under harrowing circumstances, and that is just the worst.”
Jeremy had rarely addressed her by her full name, let alone say this much to her, albeit condemning her for her mistake.
“The hospital isn’t a place for you to wallow in anguish. Plenty of other patients are waiting to be rescued.” He might have sounded calm, but there was an authoritative pressure in this tone.
Melody was aware that she shouldn’t have behaved this way, but she couldn’t control her emotions.
She had just been to the ward and chatted with Stanley this morning. He was full of smiles when he told her about his plans after being discharged. He intended to viut his granddaughter in another city and do some sightseeing while he was there.
Melody sniffled and dug nails into the heart of her palins, doing her best to calin berselt. All of a sudden, she raised her gaze and looked at Jeremy
She bit her lips and asked softly, “You said that a hospital isn’t a place for me to wallow in my anguish, but is it a place for you and Krystal to be hugging each other?
It took Melody a lot of guts to say what she just said. After she did so, she lacked the courage to look at Jeremy, so she turned away from him. She bit her lips gently. and her fists clenched as they dangled limply by her sides.
She could still see him and Krystal lugging in her mind, but she wanted to hear his explanation nonetheless. After all, she still trusted him.
However, Jeremy frowned, asking in a deep voice, “is that all you think about?”
Melody was stunned when she brand his question and retorted, “What do you think is on my mind?”
He stared at her with a mix of emotions. He that as it may, they eventually withered away, leaving behind his inditterrace and coldness.
Turn, he mentioned, “Stay kit of Krystal’s business. All you have to do is care for yourself and faithfully do your duty.”
Krystać didn’t wani anyone to say too much about her adoptive family’s private matters. The last thing she wanted was for people to badmouth them, so he pourised he would keep bet seriel.
Before Melody could evens tealize what was happening, Jeremy was already heading toward the door. He turned to her before leaving. However, he was slightly
He sounded so stemtiut it sounded like he was waunting het.
“Think before you say or do anything you might not be in good place emotionally, but don’t drag others down with you.”
