A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 280

Once Melody explained the situation to Benson, he found it to be a pity but didn't try to persuade her to stay.

In fact, the higher-ups in the hospital already had such thoughts, so it just so happened that Melody brought it up first.

Benson sighed. "Ms. Wardolf, we're all aware that you're a diligent worker. The situation now is unexpected, but that doesn't reflect poorly on your character, so please don't feel dismayed."

After confirming the resignation process with Benson, Melody turned to leave.

However, the moment she stepped out of the office, she ran into Jeremy.

His white coat hung open, and his dark hair fell across his brows. The smell of disinfectant that clung to him was stronger than usual, so she knew that he had just finished a surgery.

"You only went to Regallo this morning, and now you're here to resign," he said as he looked at Melody.

Melody replied, "I just wanted to get things sorted out sooner rather than later. Also, I'm officially employed at Regallo now."

The words had just barely left her mouth when Jeremy stalked right up to her.

He was tall, so he almost completely blocked her view.

"This is the hallway. Don't stand so close to me," Melody reminded him.

Previously, Jeremy had always tried to minimize his interactions with her at the hospital, so she was merely reminding him of that.

To Jeremy, however, the words were especially grating.

His breath caught in his throat, and his calm, clear eyes suddenly darkened.

Melody had lost a lot of weight recently, so her already skinny face had become even thinner. Combined with those big, striking eyes of hers, she only looked more fragile.

Jeremy closed his eyes for a second. Then, he took her hand and led her into the break room.

And yet, here she was resigning, just one day later.

Jeremy only found her to be too reckless. She allowed her emotions to get in the way of all her decisions. Pushing down the anger building in him, he asked her coldly, "Did Denvin say something to you? Or did he offer you something?"

"It's got nothing to do with Denvin. This is my decision," Melody blurted.

"You're able to make a decision after just one night?" Jeremy's eyes narrowed, and his gaze carried a look of scrutiny.

Melody bit her lip and looked away. "Sometimes, it doesn't take long to see something lucidly."

Her answer upset Jeremy even more.

He sneered, and his tone was particularly icy as he said, "Have you ever thought about taking responsibility for your life? I genuinely wonder how your brain works. Why is it that every decision of yours somehow ends up being the wrong choice?"
