Chapter 37

As they left, Seth pulled a candy from his pocket and handed it to Melody. On the small blackboard, he wrote, "Don't be sad. Even a one percent chance is still a chance." Melody took the candy and forced a smile, though her face remained pale. Jeremy glanced at the candy and casually asked, "Since when did you like sweets?" Seth replied, "Many of my young patients cry during check-ups, and a little candy always helps to cheer them up." Jeremy simply nodded and led Melody out. Meanwhile, a storm of unease was swirling in Melody's mind. She couldn't calm down no matter how hard she tried. She was terrified that Andrew would really stop her from going back to the hospital. She also knew that if she wanted the surgery, she would have to save up for it herself. The Wardolf family wouldn't pay for it. This wasn't the first time Simon had brought up the cochlear implant. In fact, he had suggested it to Andrew years ago. However, Andrew had found an excuse to dismiss it every time.
