They had intended to strike covertly, and with Davey's erratic behavior, nobody could predict he wouldn't throw Raegan down.

Erick, if in that position, would have done whatever it took!

Therefore, Erick offered no defenses, simply confessing, “It's my fault, completely my fault."

Watching Raegan cry, Mitchel extended his arms, though his hesitation was apparent.

"Please, no more risks like this!" Raegan, seething with a mix of frustration and lingering fear, suddenly stood to head downstairs.

But she rose too swiftly, became dizzy, and fainted.

"Raegan!" Mitchel and Erick both cried out in shock.

Mitchel caught Raegan, and Erick swiftly intervened, saying, “Let's get her to the hospital."

As they hurried downstairs, police sirens filled the air, while Erick's assistant stayed behind to talk with the authorities.

Davey, lying in a pool of blood on the ground with his eyes wide open, remained unattended. No one looked back at him. His death was deemed justifiable.

At the hospital, Raegan experienced a horrifying dream.

In it, Mitchel fell from a window, and she chased after him, only to discover a blurred, bloody figure on the ground. "No!" she screamed in agony.

Seeing her in such torment, with tears streaming down her face, Mitchel kept calling out to her, "“Raegan, Raegan..."

Awakened by his voice, Raegan slowly opened her eyes and, seeing him in front of her, immediately sat up and embraced him tightly. Tears streaming down her face, she exclaimed, “Mitchel, you're alright! What a relief!"

Mitchel hugged her back just as tightly, gently patting her quivering back. "I'm fine, I'm fine..." he murmured soothingly, trying to ease her until Raegan's crying slowly eased.

Still hiccupping, she managed to say, “How could you... That was so reckless, you know! Please don't do that again..."

Mitchel gently brushed her hair back from her face, looking at her with tender eyes. “Look, I'm perfectly okay."

Raegan noticed he didn't seem to take her concerns seriously, and a spark of anger ignited in her. “If this happens again, I swear I'll stop talking to you. I mean it!"

Mitchel nodded. "I promise, I'll be more careful."

But internally, he added a silent exception for anything that involved Raegan. That was one promise he found impossible to keep.
