Mitchel popped himself up. He moved his arms and wiggled his toes effortlessly. Apart from the numbness in his limbs before, it appeared there were no other effects on his body.

Matteo explained, “The police think Lauren might have occasional schizophrenia. It's likely she meant to fill the syringe with poison but ended up using the wrong one by mistake."

For now, this was the only speculation. After all, there was no other evidence to be found.

Mitchel didn't dwell on it, especially since he didn't feel anything wrong with his body.

But when Matteo brought up Lauren possibly having schizophrenia, Mitchel's brow furrowed slightly as he asked, "Are you certain about her having schizophrenia?"

“Yes, it has been confirmed. Three separate evaluations, including one from our own medical team," Matteo hurriedly responded, understanding Mitchel's concern. “Don't worry. Lauren was in her right mind during the incident, so she won't get away with it."

Given the gravity of Lauren's offenses, there was no escaping severe punishment.

Furthermore, even if her actions were influenced by schizophrenia at that time, someone this dangerous would still be sentenced to life imprisonment.

"What's the news on Raegan?" Mitchel glanced at Matteo and asked, “When did Raegan wake up?"

“Just yesterday morning.”

“Did she ever come by?"

Matteo paused for a moment before answering carefully, "No, it seems she has just regained consciousness and might not be fully back to strength yet."

These words were chosen by Matteo based on Mitchel's expression.

Earlier, Matteo mentioned Raegan was doing fine, but now he's saying she's not fully recovered. Mitchel was not a fool. He could see through Matteo's attempts to avoid the subject. He looked at Matteo intently and asked, "Did you tell her about the syringe?"

Matteo shook his head. "No, the police haven't made it public, and aside from Mr. Stevens, no one else is aware."

Matteo was well aware of the potential impact such news could have, especially on stock values, and he wouldn't speak irresponsibly.

"Let's keep it that way."

"Mr. Dixon, you're sure you don't want to tell her?" Matteo felt bad for Mitchel. At that moment, if Raegan hadn't fallen ill unexpectedly, Mitchel could have easily avoided the syringe. Yet, Mitchel chose to hold back from telling her.

A faint smile crossed Mitchel's face. "She doesn't need to burden herself with such minor details."

Mitchel's concern was that Raegan might worry too much, but also feared she might not think about it at all... Hence, it was best she remained unaware. No expectations meant avoiding disappointment.
