When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 201



Clyde was stubborn as a mule, refusing to take his medicine even as he was drenched in cold sweat from the headache.

"Call Rachel. Get her here, now, quickly!"

Merritt pointed at me, his hand trembling.

I didn't waste a second and immediately dialed Rachel's number.

Turned out Rachel lived not too far from the Patterson Mansion, arriving in just over ten minutes.

I handed her the medicine, and she rushed to Clyde's side.

"Clyde, come on, take your medicine," she urged, softening her voice.

At that, Clyde finally turned to look at her.

"Rachel, you... you came."

"Yes, now take your medicine, don't worry everyone."

Clyde took her hand, swallowing the medicine she offered.

Rachel then got him a glass of water and helped him over to the couch.

It was clear Clyde relied on her a lot, and it made my heart ache, turning my head away.

Merritt glanced at me, clearing his throat lightly.
