A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 113

Melody wasn't surprised that Andrew had gone to the Green Moon Orphanage, yet she still worried because she had no idea what he intended to do.

She turned to Jeremy. "Could you drive me to the orphanage?"

Jeremy pulled over at the curb. He glanced at her and spoke in a flat tone. "Why would I go to a dump like that?"

Melody was stunned. She had no time to guess what he meant, as all she could think about was the orphanage. She muttered, "Then, I'll call a cab."

She reached for the door, but it was locked.

Puzzled, she looked over at him.

Jeremy sat with a deep frown, an icy air rolling off him. He didn't know why he had hit the lock, only that he reacted the moment she tried to leave.

Besides, Harold had been right. Jeremy had lost control of his moods more and more lately.

Melody spoke hesitantly. "Jeremy, are you..."

"Are you alright?" was what she wanted to ask.

Before she could finish, he cut her off. His jaw tightened, and his voice turned cold. "Since you think I'm mean, you should know I won't step into that mess. When you leave, do yourself a favor and shower at a hotel before you go home, or the house will need another round of disinfection."

He stared straight ahead and never looked at her. Then, he added, "You can go now."

Melody's breathing turned ragged. She only then noticed her hands were shaking.

She crouched at the roadside and sniffed. Jeremy must have forgotten their first meeting had been right there at the orphanage.

Back then, he hadn't been the heir of the Chessons, and she hadn't been the foster child of the Wardolfs.

Crouching by the roadside, she thought for a long time. In the end, she borrowed a hundred grand from Felicia for the first time in her life. It would take her ages to save that much money.

The moment it hit her account, she sent every dollar to Jeremy with a note. "It's for the tests."

Then, she hailed a cab to the orphanage.

Inside, she found a crowd in the yard. Andrew smiled as he spoke softly to Lydia. "I've already said, if the facts check out, Regallo will handle everything and give you a proper explanation. I only need your cooperation."
