When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 193



By the time Merritt banged the gavel, it was decided: York and I would exercise Clyde's authority, while Fenton was off to the marketing department to start as an assistant manager.

After everyone had dispersed, Fenton lingered behind.

"Hey Melanie, what's the real deal with Clyde? My mom barely mentioned anything and left it all hanging."

"There's a bunch of neuro specialists over at the medical school next door. I can ask his buddy to hook us up with a consult."

He looked genuinely concerned, showing no signs of any ulterior motives.

"Your brother's surgery went well. We just have to wait for him to wake up. We've got specialists on the case too, so no worries."

"Really, no worries?" Out of nowhere, Vinson Russell showed up, sporting a pair of dark under-eye circles.

I was taken aback for a moment when I saw him.

"Dude, have you not slept at all?"

He just waved it off, "Man, with Clyde being the big bro..."

He stopped, sensing the connection between the person beside me and the Patterson family and chose not to continue.
