Chapter: 2017
Raegan clung to that steering wheel, not just for herself but for Janey and all who cherished her.
Lauren caught sight of Mitchel's determined visage close by and saw the intense hatred in his gaze.
"Release... Release her!" Mitchel demanded.
The wind and resistance made it tough for Mitchel to speak clearly.
Mitchel repeated with emphatic force, “Release her!"
Lauren's eyes flared with rage, a twisted smile emerging. “Ah, Mitchel, so you've come at last!"
Mitchel exerted immense strength and focused on action, dragging Lauren out with all his might.
With Lauren's grip broken, coughs sounded from Raegan.
Despite her coughing fit, Raegan stubbornly clung to the steering wheel, unwilling to release her grip.
Mitchel felt a bit relieved as the immediate danger seemed to ease up.
However, that relief was short-lived, as Lauren brandished a syringe.
Her manic laughter filled the air. "Mitchel, recognize this?"
Mitchel's gaze turned icy and piercing.
"The last time, I was ready to give her an injection, but you stepped in. This time, I won't mess up." Lauren smiled ominously.
Lauren's job assigned by Katie was to give an injection to Raegan.
Lauren would do it even without getting anything in return. Even if it meant her death, she intended to take Raegan down with her.
Still struggling to regain full consciousness, Raegan remained unaware of the confrontation unfolding behind her. She bit down on her tongue, fighting to stay alert, trying vainly to decelerate the uncontrollable vehicle.
Yet, the SUV was messed with. It couldn't halt!
Mitchel could only watch as Lauren poised the syringe at Raegan's neck. In a moment of urgency, he cried out, “Lauren, please, stop!"
After not hearing her name for a while, Lauren stopped when she heard it again. She turned to face Mitchel, her visage marred by blood and tears and twisted by intense feelings. "Mitchel, you're indebted to me. You owe me!"
