After a brief silence, Raegan explained, “Janey shivered when she was smaller. The doctor mentioned it might be due to the mother's scare.

But she's gotten much better after treatment overseas."

The phrase “the mother's scare" deeply pained Mitchel. He wondered how Raegan managed to give birth in such perilous conditions. He dared not to delve deeper into his thoughts. The mere thought was suffocating enough. He scolded himself for not being able to protect Raegan and their child properly. Given another chance, he would guard them with his life.

Mitchel's eyes were resolute, reflecting his firm decision. No excuses or hesitations. He had to be by their side, ready to protect them no matter what.

The intensity in Mitchel's eyes startled Raegan, who quickly regained her composure and hurried downstairs.

Mitchel watched her leave, his expression showing a hint of sadness.

Outside, Matteo hadn't shown up yet. Raegan lingered by the doorway, hesitant to go back inside.

Feeling uneasy and seeing no sign of Matteo, Raegan offered, “Should we call Matteo?"

Mitchel responded with a light tone, “Answering calls while driving isn't safe for him. He'll be here shortly."

Raegan was doubtful, but before she could press the issue, she listened as he proposed, “Luis knows a reputable psychologist. Let's meet him first. If you find him suitable, we can bring Janey along, alright?"

Raegan paused, not rejecting the suggestion. Janey tended to become withdrawn when her condition flared up. While it was rare, a complete cure would certainly be better. She trusted Luis’ expertise in the medical field. Any doctor he vouched for would undoubtedly be trustworthy.

Raegan agreed, "Alright, let's go see him."

Mitchel's smile then lit up, warm light illuminated his handsome profile, accentuating his particularly charming smile.

While Raegan was still puzzling over his sudden smile, he added, "Yes, both of us."

She realized his implication and felt a rush of warmth in her cheeks, eager to distance herself.

“Just wait here by yourself..." Raegan couldn't finish her sentence when he suddenly reached out, drawing her into his embrace.

Raegan's eyes widened in shock, her look as fierce as a small, defensive hedgehog, she protested, “Hey, what's this about?"

Mitchel remained silent, resting his head against her neck, his breathing causing a ticklish sensation.

Raegan attempted to push him away. “Mitchel! Release me!"

"Raegan," he whispered her name, his voice near her skin.
