She pursed her lips. Well, sort of. She feared she would get used to Mitchel's intimacy again.

The fear stemming from her past suffering during their marriage caused by his crazy admirers still lingered, and she didn't want to experience it again.

"Don't be afraid. I won't do it," Mitchel added comfortingly.

He knew after all that happened, she still had lingering fear in her heart, and he could not push it when chasing after her.

To rekindle their past passion and remarry her, he knew he was supposed to inject a sense of security in her gradually when getting along with each other. Though he was horny when she was in sight, he had to suppress his desire first and take it slow. As long as she felt comfortable with him being at her side and trusted him again, he could proceed to the next step.

However, it was never a piece of cake. He felt like he could no longer restrain himself. His overflowing desire for her was killing him.

Especially at night when he Looked at her peaceful sleeping face. The fact that he couldn't make love with her made him feel Like thousands of ants were crawling all over his body. He was itching.

He wanted her. He was dying to possess her.

Mitchel felt like he had exhausted all his patience in this lifetime in just a few days in the ward.

After a while, he let Raegan go. He looked at her and explained, "I am energetic again after hugging you."

Raegan felt his gaze was overwhelming. She could not stand it, so she looked away shyly.

"Just call me if you need anything."

Mitchel knew her well, and he was aware that she was only pretending to be calm.

Although she said so, she didn't dare to look into his eyes at all as if he was some kind of a monster, and she was afraid to get close.

His lips curved into a faint smile. He could only shake his head helplessly.

Suddenly, a loud bang broke the silence in the ward.

The door was kicked open.

Then, Alexis stormed in and shouted angrily, “You bastard! You've grown some backbones, huh? So you really think you are now capable of provoking anyone?"

After saying this, Alexis noticed Raegan beside the hospital bed. His eyes narrowed, and he glared at her with a gloomy expression.

“What are you doing here? Get out!"
