Sherman waited quietly for Melody's answer.

Melody waved her hands repeatedly, awkwardly explaining, "What? I'm just letting Lucas take Miss Stella to the hospital. How is that pushing him to her? You're overthinking it. Miss Stella looked like she was in a lot of pain, so it might be better for her to have someone familiar take her to the hospital. That's why I thought it would be better for him to take her."

"Aren't you disregarding your own feelings, then?" Sherman almost broke through Melody's thin layer of facade.

Melody had been consciously ignoring her emotions. She was clearly upset. Heck, she even seemed on the verge of tears, yet she pretended to be very magnanimous, graciously handing over her husband to another woman.

'Can a friend be this selfless?' she thought ironically.

Melody forced a smile. "Sherman, you're overthinking it. I'm really fine! I'll be off work after this, so I really couldn't be any happier."

Sherman, feeling resigned, did not say anything more, leaving Melody to prattle on in feigned happiness.
