These days, nurses often visited under the guise of changing his bandages, just to catch a glimpse of this handsome man. Even with his mobility issues, his striking good looks remained undeniable.

Luckily, Mitchel's devoted attention to Raegan kept many admirers at bay. Even when it was as simple as handing her slippers, he always insisted on doing it himself. Such devotion was rare, and few could turn his heart away from her.

After ending the video call, Mitchel noticed Raegan stirring as he saw her reflection on the laptop screen. He wheeled himself over, poured her some water, and gently asked, “You're up? Why didn't you call for me?"

Taking a sip, Raegan replied, “I didn't want to interrupt your work.”

"It would've been no bother at all." Mitchel set down the cup and kissed her forehead. "Want to rest a bit more?"

Raegan frowned slightly. "No more rest for me. I'm not really ill, just a bit weak. I can't stay in bed all day."

"Alright, no more sleeping then." Holding her hand, his eyes radiated warmth and love.

As her hand warmed in his, Raegan whispered, "Mitchel, let's go see your mom."

Upon hearing this, Mitchel nodded. “Once this is all behind us, we'll head back to Ardlens together and take the kids to see my mother.”

Mitchel had been safeguarding Luciana. Due to concerns about Alexis, he had moved the Luciana to vengeance, secretly gravely injured another private hospital where she had recently come to. Luciana's legs weren't ready to carry her yet, but her thoughts were razor-sharp. She longed to hug her grandchildren again.

Though Mitchel was not her biological child, something Luciana had known all the while, she had loved him just as deeply.

Luciana's heart ached for having pushed Raegan away, a decision she regretted all her life. But during Janey's kidnapping, she gambled with her life to save Janey and Raegan, trying to right her old wrongs.

Ultimately, Luciana's past actions didn't entirely damn her. In her excessive love for Mitchel, she was a portrait of many mothers out there, imperfect yet endearing.

Only when Raegan brought up Luciana did Mitchel reveal Luciana's awakening.

Luciana was far from flawless, yet as her son, Mitchel fulfilled his duties, nothing more. His bitterness toward her only began to dissolve when Luciana risked her life to protect Raegan and Janey from being hurt.

Through her brave acts, Luciana showed deep remorse. Mitchel found it in himself to forgive her, but he couldn't extend that forgiveness to Raegan. It was hers to give. The choice to forgive lay solely with Raegan.

Naturally, Raegan was inclined to forgive Luciana. Without Luciana's help, survival would have been bleak for her and Janey.

Raegan snuggled closer to Mitchel and gave a firm nod. "Let's grab the kids and pay a visit to her."

Raegan had long released any resentment toward Luciana.

From Raegan's book, initially, Luciana's affection for Mitchel seemed self-centered, believing she acted in his best interest. It was just that she lacked weighing his emotions.
