When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie)

Seeing the consulting doctors were all top-notch experts from both domestically and internationally, I felt a bit relieved.

Just thinking that Clyde might get back to his old self after the consultation lifted my spirits quite a bit.

When I returned to the Patterson family home that evening, I was all geared up to convince Merritt.

But what I hadn't expected was not only Clyde being there, but Rachel too.

She was dressed in casual wear, clearly having stayed here for a while.

She paused for a moment when she saw me, but quickly acted as if everything was normal.

"Why are you here?" I was somewhat confused about the situation.

Clyde suddenly came over, placing Rachel protectively behind him.

"She's my girlfriend, she can be wherever she wants!"

"This is my house, you leave!"

Rachel took his arm gently, then softly said, "Melanie might need something, and she's pregnant. Let her in."

"It's not my child anyway!"Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Clyde muttered, clearly displeased, but he stepped aside.

His mood was really off, even volatile, and I couldn't understand why.

Clyde, even if he disliked someone, would never act like this; at most, he'd grumble behind their back.

And after starting his career, Clyde was known to everyone as the stoic boss. Why the sudden change?

Suppressing my confusion, I approached Merritt.

"Merritt, Dr. Chandler's mentor is a leading expert in neurology from abroad, and he's returning home tomorrow. I've arranged a consultation for Clyde."

"Consultation? Are you out of your mind?"

Clyde cut me off, grabbing my arm and heading for the door.

"Get lost, if you're sick, go see a doctor. Why are you booking appointments for me?"

"Clyde, she's pregnant!"

Rachel said, somewhat anxiously, but didn't dare to come closer.

Clyde at the moment was truly frightening, as if he was about to explode.

"Clyde, you're going too far! What are you doing?"

I took a deep breath and then spoke in a lower voice.

"Grandpa, he... I suggest we still go for the consultation."

Crash-

The vase behind me was smashed to the ground by Clyde.

He pointed at me fiercely, "Melanie, don't think I don't know what you're up to?"

"You just want to make me think I've always loved you!"

He held Rachel tight, "I've only ever t I her from the beginning, and

you

bear us apart." ( s to en.swnovel conne

His emotions were high, his fingers turning white from gripping Rachel.

Rachel seemed not to mind the pain, letting him hold her.

Finally, she let out a sigh.

"Clyde, don't be like this, you're scaring me."

Hearing her say that, Clyde immediately apologized and started to massage her shoulders. Rachel showed no emotion as she pushed him away, then turned to Merritt and me.

"Both of you, listen to me, if Clyde is this resistant, let's not do the examination for now." "He can work and live normally now, without any hindrance. I think it's quite alright." "What are you saying? It's alright?"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

When Rachel looked at me, there was a flicker of disdain in her eyes.

"Melanie, I know you've been

pampered all your life, expecting et

everyone to revolve around you Now that Clyde isn't, you must be feeling resentful."

"But why bother? Isn't it good the way it is now? Why provoke him?"
