Hearing Janey call him "Daddy" warmed Mitchel's heart, immediately washing away any upset feelings. "I promise with all my heart that I will never be mean to you or your mommy."

Janey's mood improved slightly, and with a pout, she mumbled, “Daddy, you have to remember what you said. If you lie, your nose will get longer!"

Raegan, feeling a headache coming on, couldn't figure out when Janey started to comfortably call Mitchel “Daddy.” Janey had never called anyone daddy before. Although Stefan had been kind to Janey, she would only sweetly call out his name. This had to stop.

Raegan asked Annis to take Janey outside for some playtime.

Annis approached. Mitchel gave Annis a once-over and decided she was reliable. Only then did he gently set Janey on the floor and hand her to Annis.

"Make sure she doesn't play near the stairs, talk to strangers, or wander into crowded areas. This is a hospital, and it's full of germs..." Mitchel's extensive list of instructions left both Annis and Raegan momentarily speechless.

Raegan had never seen a man fuss so much.

Annis, understanding his concern, replied, “Got it, sir." Then, she took Janey away.

Now, only three people were left in the room. Stefan had been quiet, just watching everything unfold. He had mistakenly thought Janey was Raegan's daughter with another man. This was mainly because he wasn't the type to gossip, nor had he asked Erick about it.

However, it now appeared that Janey was indeed Mitchel's daughter, and Mitchel's actions showed he was fully aware of the situation.

Upon seeing Stefan standing side by side with Raegan, Mitchel was visibly irritated. He quickly yanked Raegan's arm, pulling her forcefully to his side, causing her to lose her balance.

Stefan, concerned, reached out to steady Raegan.

This action caused Mitchel's expression to darken considerably, as he wished he could remove Stefan's hand. "Leave us alone now!"

Stefan, remaining cool, replied, "Mr. Dixon, Raegan hasn't asked me to go." He felt it was necessary to stay by Raegan's side for her protection unless she herself asked him to leave.

His words only fueled Mitchel's anger further.

Mitchel, ever possessive of Raegan, especially after learning Janey was his daughter, found the idea of another man close to Raegan unbearable. They were a family and should stay together, in his view.

Mitchel snapped, “I've no interest in talking to you further. Leave, now!"

Raegan, trying to pull her arm away, showed her frustration. “Mitchel, calm down. What's gotten into you? Stop this!"

Mitchel gripped her wrist tightly, showing no signs of letting go.

His attitude shifted dramatically between interacting with Stefan and Janey.
