Chapter 305: Headache Again
Melanie woke up with a blinding headache. Again.
She lay there, staring at the ceiling, her body heavy and her mind foggy and realized that she was in her office. As for how she reached here, she had no idea. And for what happened? That she already knew. She’d had another panic attack in the elevator.
The only relief was that it hadn’t happened in front of strangers or in the middle of the day or when she could have been kidnapped. It had hit while she was alone, inside her own building’s elevator so she had been relatively safe.
Now, with the worst of it behind her, three questions kept circling in her head. How had she gotten stuck in there in the first place because the elevator had been working just fine before that. Second, how had she gotten out? And third- why was she suddenly feeling so uneasy about elevators at all? She seemed to have a rouh idea, though...
Adam came into her view then as he leaned over her and she gave him a tired smile. Without a word, he held a straw near her mouth and she sipped thirstily.
And once she was done, she muttered the first thoughts in her head," I want to meet them. Can you make that possible?"
As expected, he didn’t ask her any other question about whether she was sure or not. Instead, he placed a hand on top of her head and gently patted her head,"You think this panic attack has something to do with your biological parents?"
Melanie shifted slightly, then pushed herself upright with effort as Adam leaned forward and hurriedly helped her. Her body felt heavy, every movement slow. In the next moment, she tugged at his hand to make him sit beside her. And once he did, she didn’t speak, just moved over and climbed into his lap, resting her head against his chest.
"I don’t know for sure. The thing is, I met that person before this happened the previous time and today, in the elevator, the same thing happened. I was thinking about him when the elevator stopped suddenly. And then, I started experiencing this again. I don’t know if it is related but the only way to find out is to meet them, isn’t it. Tell me, what do I do? Do you think it’s right to see them or should I wait until this mystery unravels itself?"
