True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 367 The Secret of the Heart

Joyce's blunt question not only caught Melanie off guard but also startled Alexander.

He stared at Melanie's pale face, his eyes dark and unreadable.

Melanie forced a stiff smile, "Ms. Blackwood, Mr. Cross and I are just colleagues, don't overthink it."

Joyce chuckled lightly, "I heard Ms. Hayes transferred to the cardiology department later on. Initially, you went through a lot of hardship to get into Mr. Cross's department. I thought you did it because of him." "No, I just genuinely like this department."

Facing Joyce's pressing questions, Melanie couldn't help but clench her fists.

Who was Joyce?

She was someone who could make criminals beg for mercy in court.

Her words always set traps for you before you found it.

To avoid falling into her trap, Melanie quickly found an excuse, "I have another surgery to operate, so I gotta go."

With that, Melanie turned and left the room.

Watching her leave, Joyce's lips curled into a cold smile.

If Melanie truly had no feelings for Alexander, she wouldn't be so nervous.

Alexander stared at Joyce's calm face and asked, "How do you know she likes me?"

Joyce chuckled, "Has Mr. Cross never noticed? Or did you know all along and let this ambiguous relationship develop?"

Her tone was calm, but her question left Alexander speechless.

He had learned about Melanie's feelings for him from a young nurse.

He didn't deliberately avoid it, in fact, he once thought of using her to provoke Sophia.

To make Sophia jealous and then come to him to reconcile.

But he didn't expect that after Sophia suggested they separate, she never looked for him again.

She devoted herself to her work.
