Chapter 9
The moment jeremy said those words, everyone abruptly fell silent.
Melody met Jeremy’s gaze, and her hands slowly fisted together.
Jeremy was speaking the truth, so there was nothing else she could sw about it. However, when the scrutinizing gazes from those around fell on her, she still lowered her gaze. She reassured herself inwardly and tried to appear as composed as usual.
Tiffany looked at Melody bewilderedly. She seemingly wanted to ask her something, but the elevators arrived right then.
Seeing this, Harold hurriedly ushered everyone into the elevator, thus breaking the awkward silence
Melody quietly followed from behind, but just as she stepped into the elevator, a tall figure entered right after her
She didn’t even need to look up. She only needed to get a whift of the clean, cold scent to know who it was
As there were a lot of people, Jeremy ended up standing very close. Melody was practically pressed up against his chest. Her breathing grew tense, and her heartbeat quickened
was not allowed to touch any of his things.
Jeremy was a germaphobe. At home, Melody w
However, he was less stringent at the hospital. He was a great doctor who always placed his duties as a doctor above all.
As such, the majority of her interactions with Jeremy were at the hospital. When they were at the hospital, she was just Melody, the nurse, instead of Melody Wardell And he was Jeremy, the doctor, and not Jeremy Chrison
As the elevator continued to head down, Harold suddenly smacked his forehead while staring at his phone. “Dam it! I asked for the food delivery to be dropped off at the hospital’s east entrance, but I need to go to the main entrance to grab a document.”
He scanned the crowd and asked, “Can someone help me grab the food from the east entrance?
Tiffany’s hand was still grasping Melody’s, and she kept loolding at her as if she wanted to say something.
Melody’s thoughts were all in a jumble. She didn’t wish to stay there any longer, so she decided to speak up. Tittany was about to offer as well when a low voice sounded. “I’ll go,” Jeremy said.
“I’ll go pick it up.”
Melody looked at Jeremy, who appeared calm and collected. She pursed her lips and lowered her gaze, attempting to hide the emotions swirling in her eyes Harold’s gaze bounced between Melody and Jeremy. With a perk of his eyebrow and a knowing smile, he said, “Then you go with Ms. Wardolf. It isn’t right for a Lady to carry so much stuff by herself.”
The east entrance was quite tar from the cafeteria. Jeremy’s strides were large because of his long legs, and Melody had to quicken her pace. Even so, she could barely keep up.
Jeremy seemed to notice this, and his footsteps faltered. “You can go back. I can grab the food by myself.”
Melody blinked and responded softly, “it’s okay. I can carry them with you. Didn’t Dr. Franklin say that there was a lot of food?”
Jeremy’s eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly. “You’re too slow, and tline is being wasted”
Melody stiffened when she heard Jeremy say, “I actually find it troublesome for you to go with me.”
Melody started speaking, but she was at such a loss that she didn’t know how to respond
She was inerely walking a bit slower. How could that amount to being troublesome?
Jeteny didn’t say anything else, and he continued to stride toward the east entrance. This lett Melody frozen in her spot, not knowing whether to keep going or head back
This was how Jeremy often belved. He never considered her feelings and only did things according to his sown thoughts.
He never be at around
the bush, nor was far considerate ut tariful. He was always cold and caliu, creating an insurmountable chasm between himself and Melody. In the end, Melody decided to retum to the cafeteria. Everyone had arrived, and the atmosphere was bustlingg.
When Harold noticed that she had returned alone, he asked casually, “Ms Wardoll, where’s Dr. Chesson?”
Melody fell silent for a beat befor answering in small voke, “He went to the east entrance to grab the food. I came back to see if I could help with anything here” Right as she tousled spraking, two people walked into the cafeteria, namely Jeremy and Krystal.
Jerntory was not only carrying the undered food but also a raker in his hand.
Melody stilleurd when she sawithi
She checked her phone, and when she saw the date, she felt dazed.

However, she heard Harold ask, “Why is there a cake ? Did you onder 117“.
“Today is Krystal’s birthday,” jeresiny answered
