When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 191



Before I left, I organized a modest funeral for Galen Brown.

His life had been a tough one, to say the least.

I knew he had long harbored thoughts of taking Talbot down with him, his words on the rooftop that day still echoed in my mind.

Even though I couldn't fix things, he was determined to find his own way out.

At the end of the day, it was all about keeping his daughter safe.

Geneva seemed to mature overnight, shedding her previously spoiled demeanor for a calmness that seemed uncharacteristic.

"Geneva, would you come back with me? I promised your dad I'd look after you."

I took her hand, genuinely hoping she would come with me.

We were the same, both without family now.

But she shook her head, saying, "Mellie, I know you're struggling too. I'll continue my studies here in Ironvale, then head to college. Lisa will help me out."

Lisa nodded in agreement.

"Melanie, dealing with the Pattersons won't be easy, especially with Clyde in his current state. You should focus on yourself for now. After all, I'm your cousin. Don't try to handle everything on your own, especially when it comes to your health, okay?"
