Mitchel looked at his empty fingertips, and his eyes darkened.

Entering the room, Raegan saw the words "Special VIP Room" on the office desk. She felt she had entered the wrong room.

Removing stitches wasn't a serious procedure. A nurse could handle it.

When she was about to stand up, she heard a familiar and frivolous voice, "Raegan, sit down, please."

Raegan raised her eyes. The man in the white coat looked at her intently with his sparkling peach blossom eyes. Handsome in appearance, yet he gave an impression of being particularly inexperienced in medicine.

When Luis saw that Raegan was still standing, he flashed her a smile and said, “Please, have a seat."

“Well, it's nothing serious. A nurse will do," Raegan said awkwardly.

Luis chuckled.

“I see that you don't trust me. Anyway, you have nothing to worry about. Though I haven't done any surgeries in a long time, I could manage to remove stitches."

Raegan knew Luis was being modest. He was the youngest medical doctorate in Ardlens until he suddenly took a back seat from surgery when he was at the peak of his career.

No one knew why to this day.

Luis was Mitchel's childhood friend, and although Raegan knew him, they didn't interact much. Raegan didn't want to bother him.

At this moment, Mitchel's familiar scent approached Raegan. Raegan felt a hand pressing her shoulder before a voice came.

"Sit down."

Raegan thought Mitchel felt she was wasting time by hesitating, so she stopped refusing and sat down obediently.

“Place your hands over there, please," Luis politely instructed.

Raegan appeared calm on the surface, but she was panicking on the inside.

Needles scared the shit out of her.

Luciana wasn't here to hold her now, so she didn't know how she would brave this scary experience.

She hesitated and put her right hand up. Before Luis could touch it, she shrank back.
