The only exception might be if he was so drunk that he blacked out, which was highly unlikely. In a drunken stupor, most guys were practically unconscious, hardly in a state to father a child.

Mitchel cautioned, "Stay away from Katie, and never meet her alone."

"Got it," Raegan responded, knowing Katie might be desperate enough to have made her pregnancy public.

Bracing himself for Katie's unreasonable moves, Mitchel embraced Raegan, gently resting his chin on top of her head and murmured, "Thanks for believing in me."

Raegan, wordlessly, returned his embrace with equal fervor. Resolving these misunderstandings was a huge relief.

Just then, Mitchel's phone rang. The call was from Luciana's place.

“Mr. Dixon, your mother has taken a fall," the servant informed.

Mitchel's breath caught. “What caused her fall?"

The servant explained, "She woke up feeling a tightness in her chest this morning and decided to rest for a bit. But somehow, she ended up falling. You should come over quickly to check on her."

After hanging up, Mitchel's face was etched with worry.

Raegan, sliding her arm through his, inquired, “Is it about your mom?"

Raegan recalled her previous conversation with Mitchel about the medication issue, suspecting that Luciana might have been secretly drugged by Katie. This thought was chilling. It explained the dramatic change in Luciana's demeanor.

“Yes, she took a fall. I have to visit her," Mitchel responded.

“Do you want me to come along?" Raegan suggested.

After a brief pause, Mitchel agreed, “Yeah, that would be nice."

They made their way to Luciana's place in no time.

Upon entering, Raegan was struck by a wave of mixed feelings. She used to come here often to spend time with Kyler, and now, she felt his absence deeply.

Upon Mitchel's entrance, Katie greeted him.

Looking unwell and pale, Katie's eyes welled up with tears as she gazed at Mitchel. “Mitchel, you're here...”

Katie's voice faltered when she noticed Raegan by Mitchel's side.
