Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 57

? ? ? ? ?

Lying in the hospital bed, Lauren was diagnosed with a mild concussion and needed rest for some time.

Mitchel stood by his bed, seemingly indifferent to the doctor's diagnosis.

Lauren gave him a look. He was captivated by the look of her handsome face under the soft glow of the incandescent lamp.

It was undeniable that he was handsome. His features were cold, almost icy, but magnetizing. He had that kind of charm that made it hard for Lauren to look away.

The longing in his eyes was as clear as day. He had no intention of letting go of that man who seemed like a gift from the gods.

At the thought, Lauren's eyes filled with tears again.

«Mitchel... Why does it still hurt? "I don't feel well."

Mitchel frowned.

«Are you still not feeling well? "I'll have Luis come examine you."

“No, you don't have to,” Lauren immediately disagreed.

«Actually I feel better. Besides, Luis is very busy. "I don't want to bother you."

Lauren got nervous. She didn't want to see Luis since he was too sharp and perceptive and could easily see through her lies.

"Okay," Mitchel said, unperturbed.

"By the way, why did Raegan hit you earlier?"

At the mention of it, Lauren's eyes quickly filled with tears and she lamented, “Raegan accused me before of setting her up at the banquet.

He blamed me for everything. Mitchel, why would you do something like that to him? You can investigate it yourself.

She wasn't afraid at all. After all, she had made sure she was clean from every angle.

“It's Raegan's fault,” Mitchel said nonchalantly.

Lauren abruptly stopped wiping her eyes.

Why was Mitchel so indifferent?

Raegan had slapped her hard enough to leave red marks on her face, and her face was still swollen and tingling from the blow.

Mitchel should be furious and demand an apology from Raegan on his knees, right?

Aggrieved, Lauren's chest heaved violently and tears ran down her cheeks.

Just then, Jocelyn burst into the room. Seeing Lauren's face, she was shocked.

«My lady, who did this to you? If my lord knew, he would be devastated! My God! No one had ever dared to treat you like that."

Jocelyn turned to Mitchel and appealed, “Mr. Dixon, we're alone here in Ardlens, so we're depending on you to put things right!

Jocelyn had heard their conversation and knew that Mitchel was taking Raegan's side.

However, she was more cunning than Lauren and knew how to use Lauren's family influence to put pressure on Mitchel.

Mitchel, visibly irritated by Jocelyn's theatrics, looked impatiently at Lauren and asked, "What do you want to do then?"

A flash of malice crossed Lauren's eyes. If it were up to her, she would want nothing more than to skin Raegan live, remove her bones, and dismember her.

But of course, he couldn't say that and let Mitchel see his vicious side.

Lauren balled her hands into fists and, although reluctant, pretended to take the high road.

«It's just a misunderstanding. "I'll let it go if Raegan apologizes to me."

Lauren swore to herself that she would humiliate Raegan in public when Raegan did that.

However, Jocelyn wasn't on the same page.

«My lady, you are letting her off too lightly. You have been the apple of your family's eye since you were a little girl. "You've never been disrespected like that." Jocelyn looked at Mitchel with pity and implored, “Mr. Dixon, I hope you don't mind that I'm too nosy. But my lady is alone in Ardlens, so I must speak for her on behalf of the Murray family.

"What do you want?" Mitchel asked in a frigid tone.

Jocelyn knew how to play her cards well, so she offered a reasonable request.

«In my opinion, it is only fair that my lady slaps Raegan back.

An eye for an eye."

Lauren felt much better when she heard Jocelyn's words.

She swore to herself that she would give Raegan a taste of her own medicine.

But then, to her disbelief, Mitchel simply gave Jocelyn a cold look and said flatly, "That's not going to happen."

Seeing the coldness in Mitchel's eyes made Jocelyn's heart skip a beat.

He didn't understand why Mitchel didn't agree. It wasn't an unreasonable request, was it?

Didn't Mitchel care about Lauren?

Even if Raegan was his wife, she should defend Lauren.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

Furious, Lauren clenched her hands until her nails were almost digging into her palm. Still, he kept his poker face.

«It's okay, Jocelyn. Let's not make things difficult for Mitchel.

Plus, I doubt Raegan would agree. An apology should be enough.

Lauren's words were carefully chosen, painting her in the role of the magnanimous socialite while making Raegan look petty in comparison.

Better yet, acting kindly might earn Mitchel's sympathy.

As for Raegan, well, Lauren was biding her time.

Sooner or later, he would make sure to settle the score.

Sure enough, Mitchel's icy attitude was softened by his words.

After being silent for a long time, his lips finally parted, and he said, “Lauren, I apologize on behalf of Raegan.”

What the devil! Lauren's face drained of color. For a second, he thought he was dreaming.

Why was Mitchel apologizing? What the hell was wrong with him?

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

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

If my lord finds out how my lady has been treated, he will be furious and will not let Raegan off easily!

"If the Murray family has a problem with this, I will offer my apologies in person," Mitchel replied.

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

«I understand that you are angry. 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 occupied with other matters.

Once he was out of sight, Lauren went crazy and destroyed everything she could in the living room.

After destroying the room, he took a deep breath to calm himself and said with a grim expression, “Jocelyn, we have to get rid of that woman's fetus.”

Now, even Mitchel's attitude had changed. Therefore, they had to eliminate Raegan's baby forever.

“My lady, I heard that Tessa is causing a ruckus at home because she doesn't want to move abroad. Maybe you could talk to her and…”

Jocelyn offered, her eyes shining with mischief.

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

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

Meanwhile, by the living room window. With a snap, the lighter emitted a blue light. The gloom of Mitchel's eyes was cold and solemn.

There was a knock on the door. Then, Matteo entered the room.

"Mr. Dixon, there is no sign of Mrs. Dixon."

Mitchel took a drag on his cigarette, but still couldn't suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

His mind replayed Raegan's expression when she asked him to stay.

“Prepare the car,” he said coldly.

Matteo raised his eyebrows.

Mitchel's wound had cracked earlier and the bandage was wet with blood.

"Mr. Dixon, your injuries..." Matteo protested, but Mitchel cut him off.

«Do it. Now".

In the back seat of the Bentley, Mitchel massaged his forehead.

«Have you reviewed the security images?

Matteo hesitated for a few seconds and then answered: «Yes. “The footage shows that a man picked up Ms Dixon.”

Matteo knew it was Henley who had taken Raegan. However, he held his tongue, afraid to fan the flames of Mitchel's already volatile mood.

Mitchel extended his hand and Matteo nervously handed him the tablet.

In an instant, the car's atmosphere plummeted to the icy depths.

Smash! In a flash of anger, Mitchel threw the tablet against the interior of the car, shattering it.
