Unable to contain her frustration any longer, Lauren blurted out, "Mitchel, she slapped me and shoved me against the railing! Don't you think I deserve an apology from her?"

"Mr. Dixon, you're being unfair!" Jocelyn chimed in.

"If my lord hears about how my lady's been treated, he'll be furious and wouldn't let Raegan off the hook easily!"

"If the Murray family has issues with this, I'll offer them my apologies in person," Mitchel snapped back.

"Mitchel, you know I didn't mean that way. I never want to make a fuss. I'm just hurt. You said you'd treat me like a sister. Is this how you treat family?" Lauren bitterly asked.

"I understand you're upset. I promise I'll make it up to you. But for now, you should rest. It's late."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mitchel left the room, his mind preoccupied with other matters.

Once he was out of sight, Lauren went berserk and smashed everything she could in the ward.

After trashing the room, she took a deep breath to steady herself and said with a gloomy expression, "Jocelyn, we need to get rid of that woman's unborn child."

Now, even Mitchel's attitude had changed. Therefore, they must eliminate Raegan's baby for good.

"My lady, I've heard Tessa is causing a ruckus at home because she doesn't want to move overseas. Maybe you could talk to her and..."

Jocelyn offered, her eyes twinkling with malice.

Lauren felt some of the tension leave her shoulders after hearing Jocelyn's suggestion.

Ah, Tessa. That clueless woman could definitely be manipulated once more. This was what Lauren had in mind.

Meanwhile, by the window of the ward. With a crack, the lighter gave out a blue light. The gloom in Mitchel's eyes was outlined which was cold and solemn.

A knock sounded at the door. Then, Matteo walked into the room.

"Mr. Dixon, there's no sign of Mrs. Dixon."

Mitchel took a drag from his cigarette but still could not suppress the unease in his heart.

His mind replayed the look on Raegan's face when she had asked him to stay.

“Get the car ready," he coldly said.
