Chapter: 1272
Reagan whispered in her heart.
At the hospital, when Mitchel heard that Lauren was safe, he turned and left without so much as a glance in her direction.
Just then, Matteo caught up with Mitchel and said with a palpable unease, "Mr. Dixon, Mrs. Dixon is missing."
"What?" Mitchel uttered in disbelief.
"The bodyguards who were with her just called. They said Mrs. Dixon had gone to a studio to take some photos this afternoon and then disappeared.”
Mitchel's face darkened, and he asked with a grim tone, "Which studio?"
"The same one where you had taken the wedding photos."
At those words, Mitchel's heart skipped a beat. The revelation left him with an unsettling feeling.
“Have you checked the surveillance footage?" Mitchel urgently asked.
"Yes, I have." Matteo retrieved his phone and handed it to Mitchel.
"It seems that Mrs. Dixon had planned this. She changed her attire to something resembling what we were searching for this afternoon."
Apart from their vehicles, there was another black van in the vicinity when Raegan disappeared, as seen in the footage on Matteo's phone.
In the hospital corridor, a news anchor was broadcasting a breaking news story on TV. “At two o'clock this afternoon, a car accident occurred on the newly constructed bridge. According to eyewitnesses, there were two occupants in the van. The driver lost his life at the scene, while the search for the other person is still ongoing..."
ALL of a sudden, Mitchel's heart felt as though it had been stabbed by a knife, but he remained numb. A car accident on the bridge...
"Mr. Dixon..." Matteo called out to Mitchel many times, but Mitchel didn't respond.
Time seemed to freeze in that moment. The tension in the air was so thick that Matteo couldn't bring himself to draw breath.
And then, Mitchel collapsed right in front of Matteo.
“Mr. Dixon, are you alright?"
Mitchel didn't speak. Before he knew it, everything turned black.
Three days later, Mitchel finally regained consciousness.
