Her throat felt parched as Raegan said in a rasped voice, “Mommy is really not mad..."

"Then, Mommy is mad at Dad..." Janey quickly corrected herself, seeming to hesitate, “Is Mommy mad at Uncle?"

Raegan stopped for a moment and then weakly replied, "No. I am not mad at him either. I was just a bit worried when I couldn't find you."

Upon hearing this, Janey's spirits lifted, and she smiled widely.

“See, my mommy isn't mad at you."

Mitchel understood that Raegan's words were meant to reassure Janey.

He moved closer to coax Janey, "Yes, your mommy isn't mad at me. I will do my best not to upset your mommy."

With that, Mitchel hugged Janey, gave Raegan a meaningful look, and declared, “Daddy will take you and your mommy home."

Raegan was at a loss for words.

Then, Mitchel gently took Raegan's hand in his. He gripped it firmly, sharing his warmth with Raegan's cold hands.

Raegan tried to pull away but couldn't manage it. Just as she was about to get angry, she heard Mitchel's deep voice. “Let's take Janey home first, and we can talk about everything else later."

Janey was Raegan's soft spot. She instantly stopped trying to pull away and allowed Mitchel to hold her.

Mitchel had Matteo handle all the paperwork about discharge.

Glancing at Raegan and Mitchel, Annis wanted to go back to the ward and pack Raegan's stuff. “I'll ride back in Mr. Clifford's car."

Mitchel's brow furrowed slightly, and he said gently to Annis, “You don't have to bother Mr. Clifford. My assistant will drive you back."

Raegan was at a loss for words. She noticed Mitchel had a playful side, making a big deal out of even small things to compete with Stefan.

Mitchel didn't grant Raegan the chance to say goodbye to Stefan at the hospital and took them straight to his car.

Raegan had no choice but to inform Stefan through calls.

After the call, Mitchel looked quite unhappy, maintaining a sullen mood during the drive.

Janey, exhausted from playing all morning, dozed off in Mitchel's arms.
