When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 233

I turned to meet her guilt-ridden gaze, and in that moment, I knew Warren was right all along.

Clyde's brain was damaged, but not to the point of affecting his nerves.

It was highly probable that Rachel was behind it.

But she was crafty, managing to fool everyone, even bypassing medical examinations.

Maybe, as she claimed, fate was on her side, granting her this one opportunity.

She remained silent, so I pressed on, “Would you harm Clyde?”

“He was poisoned by a lover before, a toxin that would take three years to completely metabolize.”

“To save me once, he endured radiation from a mine.”

“Are you bragging about how much he loves you?”

Rachel stood up abruptly, her gaze filled with bitterness.

“So what if I am? He doesn’t remember any of it!”

“Rachel, his body can’t take much more, physically or mentally.”

I didn't want to be too blunt, knowing it could provoke her.

After all, we had lived together during college for four years, and I knew her temperament well.

Sure enough, upon hearing about Clyde's condition, Rachel pondered for a moment before nodding solemnly.

“As long as you step back, and he’s devoted only to me, I won’t harm him.”

Her gaze was emotionless as she looked at me, then turned to leave.

“Rachel, what if he remembers everything? If he becomes the Clyde of the past, can you guarantee you won’t harm him?”

Hearing my words, she paused, then walked away without looking back.

I sighed, realizing she wouldn't let Clyde go. Her love came with conditions.

She hoped for a future where I wasn't a threat to her relationship with Clyde.

She wanted Clyde's love all to herself, without any distractions.

Even if Clyde woke up, he had to be solely devoted to her. She was asking for too much.
