Mitchel nodded and greeted Polly out of politeness.

The more Polly looked at Mitchel, the more she liked him. She stepped forward and greeted Mitchel happily.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the ward became Lively.

Mitchel wanted to drink water, so he was about to reach for the glass. Alexis thought Mitchel would have a hard time doing it, so he quickly hinted at Eloise and said, "Eloise, go give Mitchel water."

Eloise walked to the bedside table obediently, wanting to get the cup and fill it with water for Mitchel. But before she could pick it up, Mitchel had already taken it.

But his quick movement affected his wound.

Mitchel grimaced in pain, but he said coldly, "No, it's okay. I can do it myself."

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the ward became awkward.

Obviously, Mitchel didn't want Eloise to touch him.

Polly's face darkened upon seeing this.

On the other hand, Alexis wanted to lighten the atmosphere.

"Mitchel didn't want Eloise to do such things, fearing she might spill some warm water and hurt herself. Eloise is such a lovely creature. Don't worry. She doesn't need to do anything once they get married. She will only enjoy her life with Mitchel."

When Polly heard this, her expression softened. Finally, she smiled and said, “We have spoiled Eloise since she was a child. So, Mitchel, please be more considerate of her in the future."

"Of course, Mitchel will do that," Alexis chimed in.

"Polly, don't worry. Our Dixon family will treat Eloise well."

The more Mitchel listened to them, the more he felt something was wrong. At this time, he could no longer maintain his politeness.

Mitchel looked at Polly and said coldly, "Mrs. Benton, I have no intention of getting married for the time being. And I don't Like your daughter as ever, let alone marry her."

Mrs. Benton... Your daughter... Such words were a slap in Polly's face.

Polly pulled a long face and said with a frown, “Mitchel, what do you mean by that? Your father came to my home last night to propose a marriage and promised you would marry Eloise."

Polly was telling the truth. She wouldn't have said it if Alexis hadn't come to her house last night.
