When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 204



"Melanie, are you okay?"

Jade squeezed my shoulder, trying to lend me some of her strength.

All I could do was shake my head, at a loss for what else to do.

Suddenly, Rachel's anxious voice echoed down the hallway. "Clyde, Clyde, what's wrong? The headache again?"

I rushed out to see Clyde slowly sinking to the ground by the elevator doors, his face ghostly pale.

Jade and I hurried over.

"Clyde, what's happening to you?"

Just as I squatted down to reach for him, Clyde pushed me away and leaned towards Rachel instead.

"My head's killing me."

His voice was so pitiful. Rachel stiffened for a moment before letting his head rest against her, pulling out a pill from her purse.

"Take this, you'll feel better. Don't be stubborn, love, take your medicine."

Clyde listened to her, quickly swallowing the pill.

He clung to Rachel, a sight that was both striking and harmonious.
