When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 214

Seeing the consulting doctors were all top-notch experts from both domestically and internationally, I felt a bit relieved.

Just thinking that Clyde might get back to his old self after the consultation lifted my spirits quite a bit.

When I returned to the Patterson family home that evening, I was all geared up to convince Merritt.

But what I hadn't expected was not only Clyde being there, but Rachel too.

She was dressed in casual wear, clearly having stayed here for a while.

She paused for a moment when she saw me, but quickly acted as if everything was normal.

"Why are you here?" I was somewhat confused about the situation.

Clyde suddenly came over, placing Rachel protectively behind him.

"She's my girlfriend, she can be wherever she wants!"

"This is my house, you leave!"

Rachel took his arm gently, then softly said, "Melanie might need something, and she's pregnant. Let her in."

"It's not my child anyway!"

Clyde muttered, clearly displeased, but he stepped aside.

His mood was really off, even volatile, and I couldn't understand why.

Clyde, even if he disliked someone, would never act like this; at most, he'd grumble behind their back.

And after starting his career, Clyde was known to everyone as the stoic boss. Why the sudden change?

Suppressing my confusion, I approached Merritt.

"Merritt, Dr. Chandler's mentor is a leading expert in neurology from abroad, and he's returning home tomorrow. I've arranged a consultation for Clyde."

"Consultation? Are you out of your mind?"

Clyde cut me off, grabbing my arm and heading for the door.

"Get lost, if you're sick, go see a doctor. Why are you booking appointments for me?"

"Clyde, she's pregnant!"

Rachel said, somewhat anxiously, but didn't dare to come closer.
