A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 108

What Jeremy and Krystal discussed was nothing urgent. It was just random updates from the ward, but his refusal was clear.

Melody curled her fingers and stood there awkwardly.

Just then, Denvin came home. He carried a file, his jacket unbuttoned and his shirt collar loose, looking casual.

He gave Melody a passing look but didn't greet her. Walking by, he asked Laura, "Where's Dad?"

Laura snorted. "Why bother asking? Someone came home just to dump trouble on him. He's buried in the study."

She shot Melody a pointed glance.

Melody lowered her head, said nothing, and left.

Denvin arched a brow and teased Laura, "Why are you angry? Careful, or you will get wrinkles."

Laura glared. Then, he carried the file into the study.

Jeremy paused and told Krystal, "I'm heading back to the hospital."

Krystal nodded and got up as well since they both had another shift tonight.

…

Inside the study, Denvin found Andrew sitting in gloom.

He asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Seeing his son, Andrew masked his face, rubbed his brow, and said wearily, "It's nothing. The Foundation's swamped lately. Gives me headaches."

A drizzle had started on the way, and she had no umbrella. She ran through the drizzle.

At the parking lot entrance, she spotted Jeremy holding a shared umbrella over Krystal as they walked inside.

Their eyes met, and Jeremy's brows knit at once.

Krystal turned toward Melody, surprise in her eyes. "What brings you to the hospital?"

"I'm on night shift," Melody mentioned.

She felt bedraggled, using her bag to shield her head. The rain was not heavy, yet her hair and clothes were already wet.

In front of her, Jeremy and Krystal stood clean and dry beneath the same umbrella, as if they lived in a different world.
