Mitchel, taken aback that Raegan had disclosed their divorce to Luciana, felt a shadow pass over his face.

Facing his mother, Mitchel confessed, "I don't want a divorce. I never want one. My mind is stuck on Raegan. I can't imagine a future where she's not around me."

These words left Luciana unsure of how to respond.

“Why are you so stubborn..."

"I'll see her myself if you won't do it for me," Mitchel declared, determined, and attempted to rise from his bed, only to be bathed in a cold sweat from the effort.

Luciana, alarmed and pale, urged him back to bed, relenting, “Alright, stay. I'll have her come to you."

Raegan was taken aback by Luciana's unexpected call.

After their last encounter, she hadn't anticipated any further communication, especially not kindness. She suspected Mitchel's influence.

Yet, with Mitchel now engaged to Eloise, Raegan wished to sever all ties.

It was time to close the chapter between them.

Therefore, Raegan declined Luciana's request with politeness.

To her astonishment, Luciana insisted, “Regardless of your history with Mitchel, he's hurt because of you. It's your responsibility to care for him. We'll discuss everything else afterwards."

Luciana's words bore the weight of an ethical obligation, yet they rang true.

Left without options, Raegan complied and hailed a taxi to the hospital.

In an unexpected twist at the hospital parking lot, she encountered Henley, who was there to pick up medication for his mother.

Henley had been concerned after days of failure to reach Raegan, and though they had finally spoken, her excuse of fever and phone neglect seemed dubious to him.

Encountering her at the hospital now only deepened his suspicions.

Yet, since Raegan withheld the truth, Henley chose not to pry further.

Upon entering the lobby, they parted ways, and Raegan ascended to the upper floors in the elevator.

In the VIP ward, Mitchell was seated in a wheelchair, gazing steadily out the window.
