Mitchel stopped in front of Raegan and questioned, "You did this to her?"

Staring into Mitchel's icy visage, Raegan found it difficult to breathe.

It was obvious that he had already painted her as the villain in his mind.

He accused her of deliberately hurting Lauren without even asking about what had happened. Disappointed, Raegan felt no need to justify herself.

"Yes, I did," Raegan replied without offering any explanation.

Mitchel locked eyes with her as if trying to see through her soul.

Meanwhile, Raegan held her gaze and was unflinching.

Unable to wait any longer, Lauren let out a cry again.

“Mitchel, it hurts... It hurts Like hell..."

Mitchel shifted his attention away from Raegan. He then lifted Lauren off the ground and turned around to leave.

"Mitchel!" Raegan called out.

Mitchel stopped in his tracks and turned around to face her.

Raegan tried to maintain her composure and, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, whispered, "Don't go."

As their gazes met, Mitchel frowned and emotionlessly said, "Go back to the ward. I'll be back soon."

Raegan's lips curled into a bitter smile, and a look of disappointment flashed across her face.

"You just told me you didn't want a divorce."

Was he going to overturn his words that easily?

Why raise her hopes only to shatter them himself?

Did he not care about her feelings? Did it not matter to him if she was hurt?

Lauren's face was distorted with anger. Even so, she tried her best to restrain herself and sobbed in Mitchel's arms.
