Despite her curiosity, Raegan knew better than to probe into these matters recklessly.

Erick, however, reassured Raegan that he would handle the investigation.

After spending nearly two weeks in the hospital, there was finally some positive news. Mitchel had regained consciousness. However, he was still bedridden and mute, only capable of blinking and unable to express any emotions.

His recovery was further complicated by the residual effects of the poison, a fractured knee joint, and complications from a gunshot wound. Though awake, his condition required careful management.

After careful deliberation, Luis planned to surgically administer the antidote on the third day following Mitchel's awakening.

The decision was driven by the toxin's severe impairment of Mitchel's healing processes. At this rate, Mitchel's most significant recovery might be limited to merely opening and blinking his eyes.

The day before the surgery, Luis visited Raegan.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Luis maintained his usual amiable and charming demeanor, concealing his deep concerns for Mitchel's condition.

Knowing Raegan had been resting, Luis kept the conversation light, as Raegan seemed more withdrawn following the recent ordeals.

Luis' visit was brief, but before he left, he assured her, "“Raegan, I will definitely save Mitchel. He'll be back to his old self soon."

Raegan responded with a soft, grateful voice, "Thank you, Luis. Thank you for everything you're doing for him."

That night, Raegan went to Mitchel's ward. Previously, she had only glimpsed the scene from her wheelchair. This time, observing through the glass window, she could clearly see Mitchel lying on the hospital bed.

The days of coma had taken their toll. Mitchel appeared noticeably thinner, his cheeks hollowed, giving him a gaunt, skeletal appearance.

His body was connected to numerous tubes and machines, indicating he was still not out of danger, and these life-supporting devices were essential for his survival.

Raegan gazed through the glass, watching Mitchel silently for a long time. Despite his weakened state, his features retained a striking handsomeness.

After a while, Raegan finally and firmly made a decision. Knowing Mitchel's surgery would be operated tomorrow, she decided not to be in the hospital with him, afraid she would bring him bad luck just as the insane Katie had yelled repeatedly.

Actually, Raegan had a tough time for the last half month.

Precisely speaking, she had been disheartened the moment the elevator doors of the wedding venue opened and the assassin fired.

Before the elevator doors opened, Raegan could dismiss Katie's harsh comments, dreaming of a blissful future with Mitchel and their children.

She had thought over if Mitchel's condition proved terminal. She envisioned accompanying him till the very end with their children, ensuring that his remaining time was devoid of any regrets. Sticking together as a family was a bond, and even if one had to go first, having spent days together cheerfully meant they'd meet again in the afterlife.
