When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie)

Chapter 233



I turned to meet her guilt-ridden gaze, and in that moment, I knew Warren was right all along.

Clyde's brain was damaged, but not to the point of affecting his nerves.

It was highly probable that Rachel was behind it.

But she was crafty, managing to fool everyone, even bypassing medical examinations.

Maybe, as she claimed, fate was on her side, granting her this one opportunity.

She remained silent, so I pressed on, "Would you harm Clyde?"

"He was poisoned by a lover before, a toxin that would take three years to completely metabolize."

"To save me once, he endured radiation from a mine."

"Are you bragging about how much he loves you?"

Rachel stood up abruptly, her gaze filled with bitterness.

“So what if I am? He doesn't remember any of it!"

"Rachel, his body can't take much more, physically or mentally."

I didn't want to be too blunt, knowing it could provoke her.

After all, we had lived together during college for four years, and I knew her temperament well.

Sure enough, upon hearing about Clyde's condition, Rachel pondered for a moment before nodding solemnly.

"As long as you step back, and he's devoted only to me, I won't harm him."

Her gaze was emotionless as she looked at me, then turned to leave.

"Rachel, what if he remembers everything? If he becomes the Clyde of the past, can you guarantee you won't harm him?"

Hearing my words, she paused, then walked away without looking back.

I sighed, realizing she wouldn't let Clyde go. Her love came with conditions.

She hoped for a future where I wasn't a threat to her relationship with Clyde.

She wanted Clyde's love all to herself, without any distractions.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if Clyde woke up, he had to be solely devoted to her. She was asking for too much.

If Clyde remembered, she would destroy him.

Eliana came looking for me at the hospital, finding me still seated.

"My cousin said he couldn't find you, and you weren't answering your phone. What's up?"

She quickly grabbed me, trying to pull me up, but I was somewhat frozen in place.

I didn't know what Rachel would do next, my mind felt like it had crashed, unable to come up with any plan.

Eliana rubbed my hands, asking, "Melanie, how long have you been sitting here? Let's head back to the ward."

"The ward?"

"Warren mentioned he wanted to start a new phase of treatment, don't you remember his research on that medicine?" "Ah, it's hard to explain, just come with me."

I was practically dragged back to the ward by Eliana.

It was the same VIP ward I had stayed in before, and I managed a bitter smile.

"I'm practically a year-round resident here."

"If you could just stay healthy, I'd hang a sign at the door, 'Reserved for Melanie.""

Eliana was generous, but I quickly shook my head.

I didn't want to live in a hospital forever, no matter how nice the

Warren had already taken off his doctor's uniform and was ready to leave. Seeing my pale face, he clicked his tongue.

"Trying to fast-track your way to the afterlife?"

Eliana nudged him, but he still looked at me disapprovingly.

"Melanie, didn't you say you wanted to repay Eliana? Just cooperate with my treatment, and consider it your good deed, ensuring a better reincarnation."

“Alright, sign here. This is for a clinical trial of a new medicine, it requires a contract."

"But don't worry, it has been tested abroad for quite some time, the side effects should be within your tolerance, and the treatmentos promising."

Seeing the contract required hospitalization, I hesitated.

Given the Patterson family's current situation, if I were hospitalized, Clyde would likely become a target.
