When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 234

I really didn't want to be admitted to the hospital, but at the same time, I was desperate to try the medication. In the end, Warren, looking as defeated as a coach after a tough loss, agreed to let me stay in the hospital for three days to monitor my reaction.

He mentioned the side effects weren't severe, probably minor for someone who had undergone surgery before.

However, by the second day of medication, I was caught in an endless cycle of vomiting.

Even though I hadn't eaten much, I couldn't stop throwing up bile.

"Maybe you should stop taking the medication for now."

Warren, reviewing my condition with a furrowed brow, seemed hesitant.

"Your condition is really poor, you barely look like you're holding up."

"But if I get better, there's a chance of relapse, maybe for the third time. I should stick with it."

He had warned me before about the possibility of relapse after radiation treatment, and I was determined to continue with the medication.

Given that this medication was still in clinical trials, side effects seemed like a normal expectation to me.

Surviving was my top priority, especially with Clyde in his current state.

However, taking a three-day leave from work led to issues back at the office.

The overpass project was facing one problem after another, and my absence seemed to have delayed many design solutions.

When Jade Scott called me, she was livid.

"It's your design, and Rachel is trying to take over, despite not having the qualifications. Has she lost her mind? Doesn't she realize how risky it is to change personnel like this at the last minute?"

That's when I found out that despite Rachel's education abroad, her qualifications weren't universally recognized. Her trip abroad now seemed questionable.

But dwelling on this wasn't the priority. The project was time-sensitive.

Barely holding myself together, I made it to the office, only to find Rachel arguing with Lina in the Design Department.
