A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 121

The girl's biggest wish was to have a head of beautiful, long hair.

Later, she passed away without ever seeing her wish come true.

Jeremy hadn't truly meant to make her cut her hair. "Do as you like."

That evening, Melody had talked a lot with Felicia and Jason about the orphanage. She was feeling much more at ease.

She looked at Jeremy and recalled what Felicia had said. She could try asking Jeremy for help because the Wardolfs couldn't afford to offend the Chessons.

Because Melody was nervous, her eyelashes kept trembling, and her voice didn't sound natural as she asked, "I remember the Chessons never joined charity work, right?"

He looked over. "What do you mean?"

"I..." She couldn't finish her sentence.

Everyone knew real charity only burned money.

Besides, the Chessons' Northstar Group was partnered with Regallo. Supporting Green Moon would be a slap in Andrew's face.

Jeremy read her mind, but his face stayed blank. "Drop the idea. No one will ditch a business partner for a wreck."

"They're not a wreck. They're sweet little kids," she retorted in a low voice.

Her clear, bright eyes looked at Jeremy, carrying a sadness even she didn't notice. "Jeremy, don't talk about them like that. They're already very pitiful."

"I only stated facts," he said nonchalantly.

When he released her, she could barely stand, clinging to him for balance.

He steadied her with one hand and idly twirled a lock of her hair with the other.

Jeremy lowered his eyes and fell into thought.

...

Andrew went to the hospital to look for Melody and skipped pleasantries. "I'll check the donations to the orphanage again."

Melody said, "As long as the tests don't harm the children, Madam Callahan and I have no objections."

Andrew's face was unreadable. "Mel, Dr. Jangger told me your ears can be fixed, but the surgery costs 600,000 dollars. Is that true?"
