When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 175

After what felt like an eternity, Clyde's stomach was pumped, and he was finally out of danger.

The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Family members? Don't worry, he'll be fine once he wakes up."

"From now on, he must stay away from whatever he's allergic to, or we might be in the same situation again."

I couldn't stop thanking the doctor and turned to look at Clyde in the hospital bed, my heart finally settling down.

By the time Talbot rushed in, it was already daylight.

He glanced at Lisa, who looked guilty beside me, and then at me.

"Melanie, how's Clyde? He's okay, right?"

"I mean, I had no clue he was allergic to anything. Was it something he ate yesterday that triggered this?"

I threw the food he brought straight to the floor.

"You didn't know? You poisoned him and you didn't know?"

"Do you want me to call the cops, maybe get the press involved?"

I glared at him, truly angry this time.

Even if he wanted Lisa to get ahead, he shouldn't be scheming against Clyde time and again.

"Poisoning, really? That's low, even for you!"

"Talbot, let me make this clear, Patterson Group is pulling out of the deal. Now leave!"

I walked to the door and opened it, facing both of them with a cold expression.

Talbot looked at Lisa, and finally, she stepped forward.

"Melanie, we're practically family. Why the hostility? Kicking up a fuss like this in Clyde's hospital room? That's really not cool."

She reached out to grab my arm, but I jerked away.

"Clyde's not yours to summon. If you can make him divorce me, do it. If not, get out!"

"And you, drugging people and selling out your daughter, shame on you!"

My voice was loud, and with the hospital room door open, many patients and their families turned to look.
