Stefan diverted his gaze first, offering Raegan a soft Look before departing.

Watching Raegan's eyes track Stefan, Mitchel felt his heart feeling torn, his expression growing pained.

Raegan approached the vehicle Matteo had arranged and climbed in, not waiting for Mitchel. “Head to West Lake Villa," she directed the driver.

The driver hesitated, noticing Mitchel hadn't entered yet.

Raegan's expression hardened, questioning whether Matteo had arranged her transport.

While she contemplated, the driver's door opened, and the driver tactfully left, making room for Mitchel.

Raegan's expression turned cold. "Mitchel, didn't you vow not to bother me anymore?”

Mitchel, newly seated, experienced a painful twist in his heart hearing her words. His eyes lost some of their brightness. Her desire to avoid him was clear in her actions and words. Yet...

"But you visited the hospital today. It seemed you were concerned about me," Mitchel whispered. His excitement had peaked when he spotted Raegan on the security footage, driving him to see her before he was fully healed.

Raegan now wished she hadn't visited. If she'd known he was well, she wouldn't have gone. She regretted acting on a fleeting impulse, providing him with an excuse to pester her. “Mitchel, I went to the hospital because I felt it was necessary. You fainted at my place, and I wanted to avoid any complications, so I checked on you."

Mitchel's eyes subtly shifted, a wave of pain washing over him. He longed to probe whether her visit indicated she still cared for him, even in the slightest.

Raegan faced him, her smile lacking warmth. "Do you have any more questions?"

Mitchel's complexion turned noticeably paler. He couldn't handle another blow. Despite being disheartened, he attempted a smile, shifting the conversation. "I apologize for your lack of transportation. Allow me to drive you today. How's that?"

"No!" Raegan rejected instantly, her face stern. "You leave, or I do."

Mitchel showed no signs of leaving.

Raegan had her hand on the door handle, ready to step out of the car.

Seeing this, Mitchel hastily called out, "Raegan, Janey..."

Raegan halted and turned to look at Mitchel. Mitchel whispered, “Janey must be feeling frightened today. She's probably worried about me. I want to see her."

Raegan hesitated.

Mitchel knew Raegan always put Janey's feelings first. He added, "Please, let me visit Janey. I won't come by every day. Just tonight, can I?" His voice was low, his pride set aside.
