Raegan was momentarily speechless. Well, he put it on the speaker and she could hear their conversation.

"I sent someone else in my place," Mitchel clarified.

Raegan remained silent, not wanting to be a burden to him.

"I can get there on my own. You don't need to drive me there," she offered.

Furrowing his brows, Mitchel retorted, "Oh? How? By taking the train?

You're pregnant. What if something happens to you?"

His words left her at a loss for a response.

For a fleeting second, Raegan sensed genuine concern for their baby from him.

But how could it be?

She knew he had no affection for their baby.

An uneasy silence filled the car until Mitchel finally said, "I told you I'd accompany you to pay respects to your grandmother. I won't break my promise."

Raegan was stunned. She might have believed his promise if it had been in the past, but now...

She wouldn't trust him anymore.

She chose to say nothing, merely leaning back into her seat and shutting her eyes.

Taking a quick glance at her, Mitchel adjusted the car settings to comfortable mode.

The car smoothly continued its journey.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lauren sipped on a bowl of nutritious soup with glee.

Her scraped hands and knees were a small price to pay for her trick of summoning Mitchel over and making that bitch, Raegan, miserable.

She had heard that Mitchel planned to go with Raegan to pay tribute to the latter's grandmother.

Lauren snorted. How could she just watch them together without doing anything?
