“Raegan, what happened just now?" Stefan asked, his voice laced with concern.

"I..." Raegan's voice trailed off, her words stuck in her throat as her arms continued to tremble, revealing the depth of her distress.

Stefan fetched a blanket and wrapped it gently around her shoulders, speaking softly. "Don't worry. I'll get your brother. Whatever it is, T can..."

He paused, seeming to realize his mistake, and cleared his throat.

“We'll all help you through this."

Raegan nodded, opening her mouth to respond, but before she could speak, Erick had already entered the room.

“Raegan!" Erick stepped forward, concern etched on his face. "Stefan said you're not feeling well. What's wrong, Raegan? Do you need a doctor?"

Raegan shook her head, a faint smile on her lips. "No, it's not that kind of problem."

Stefan tactfully excused himself, leaving the siblings alone as the conversation turned personal.

Despite Raegan's reassurances, Erick's concern lingered. “It's not physical? If you don't want to see the Clifford family's doctor, I'll take you to someone else. We'll find someone you're comfortable with."

As he spoke, Erick gently took Raegan's arm, guiding her toward the door.

"No, Erick. I just saw Katie's uncle, Davey. That's all."

Erick's brow furrowed in concern, “What happened, Raegan? Did Davey say something to upset you?"

Raegan shook her head, her voice barely above a whisper. "No, Erick. I was simply terrified when I saw him. His gaze sent shivers down my spine, and I feel like I've seen him somewhere before... But I can't quite place where."

“Seen him before?" Erick didn't know much about Davey, but he thought it was unlikely Raegan had met Davey before. Davey had been Living abroad for years. It seemed improbable that their paths had crossed even when Raegan was a child.

For all these years, Davey had been absent from Ardlens. Despite being a member of the Glyn family, Davey's relationship with his relatives appeared strained.

"Raegan, are you exhausted and overwhelmed? Has the stress become too much to bear?" Erick thought Raegan was tired and needed rest.

Erick took Raegan's hand in his, offering a reassuring squeeze. “Your priority now is to focus on your pregnancy and your well-being. Let me handle everything else.”

“Have the gifts been dispatched?" Raegan enquired.

“They've all been sent out, Raegan. Don't worry. I'm sure we'll be reunited with our mother soon," Erick replied reassuringly.
