Matteo took control and firmly grabbed the man, pressing him for answers. “Who's your contact, and why did you need the blood?"

The man was genuinely clueless. He had never met his contact, only connecting via phone. He had no idea about the cause behind taking Raegan's blood.

After watching the man for a short while, Mitchel decided he didn't know anything important. He ordered expressionlessly, “Keep him here until we turn him over to the police."

Then, Mitchel gently picked up Raegan, cradling her carefully as if she was something precious, careful not to shake her.

The cut on Mitchel's arm opened up under the strain, bleeding openly, drops of blood hitting the floor.

It wasn't until they were seated in the car that Raegan noticed his injury, expressing shock, “Your hand..."

"It's nothing serious," Mitchel reassured her, his eyes filled with urgency, urging the driver to hurry.

Then, out of nowhere, there was a yell. "Stop right there!"

The man had somehow produced a spray, blinding Matteo before attempting to flee.

Raegan stared in shock as the man jumped over a railing.

The next second, a loud tire screech echoed, and the man was flung into the air, landing with a thud.

Before Raegan could fully understand what happened, Mitchel was quick to cover her eyes, whispering, “Don't look."

The aftermath outside was horrifying, with the man's body torn apart and unrecognizable.

Matteo, barely able to see, immediately had his men to apprehend the hit-and-run driver.

Mitchel, with a determined look, ordered, "Once you've handed him to the police, dig into the driver's past."

It appeared the crash wasn't an accident but a calculated act, possibly to silence the man for good. The person orchestrating this remained unknown. Mitchel's face hardened with resolve. He was determined to thwart the other party's schemes at every turn.

Instead of rushing Raegan to the hospital, Mitchel chose Luis' lab for its cutting-edge technology and quicker test results.

There, Raegan went through an extensive evaluation, including tests for any infections from the needle prick on her finger.

Outside the room Raegan was in.

Luis examined the cut on Mitchel's arm, his brow creased with concern.
