Chapter 76

The doctor said: "The latest report shows that the patient is in a fragile condition. He could die at any moment. You no longer need to stay in the hospital. "You better take her home and grant her last wishes."

Raegan left the office in a trance.

Her steps were unsteady and her strength was exhausted, forcing her to look for a bench to collapse on.

Kendra, an attentive nurse, spotted Raegan in the hallway. She ran over when she saw the paleness of Raegan's once beautiful face and asked worriedly, "Miss Hayes, what happened?"

Unable to find her voice, Raegan fumbled for her phone. His shaking hand made it difficult for him to press the necessary buttons.

With a trembling voice, he implored Kendra, “Kendra, please help me make a call. Press button number one.

The number one button on Raegan's phone was linked to Mitchel's number.

Kendra jumped at Raegan's expression, but she picked up the phone and followed the instructions. He dialed the number, but there was no answer.

Kendra tried again, but to no avail. Looking at Raegan, Kendra asked quietly, "Shall I try one more time?"

“Yes, keep calling until I pick up.”

Raegan's determination remained unwavering.

In her vulnerability, Raegan longed for Mitchel to provide her with the strength she desperately needed. And more importantly, she hoped he could help her fulfill her grandmother's last wishes.

On the third attempt, the call was finally received.

"What's happening?" Mitchel asked impatiently.

But Raegan didn't have time to think about anything else.

He pleaded softly, “Mitchel, can you come back? It's about my grandmother..."

Suddenly, a delicate female voice interrupted Raegan's words.

"Mitchel..."

Raegan felt a crushing disappointment wash over her.

He thought it was his imagination and asked, "Are you with Lauren right now?"

“Yes, Lauren…”

"Mitchel Dixon!" Raegan couldn't believe it. He asked with a trembling voice: “Isn't it night where you are? And you're telling me you're together?

Frowning, Mitchel looked at Lauren, who was resting in a hospital bed, and replied nonchalantly, “It's not what you think. I'll explain it to you when I get back."

Then, Lauren's sobs were heard. With the phone in her hand, Mitchel gently comforted Lauren.

Raegan's heart ached when she heard that. The sharp pain left her momentarily speechless.

Tears welled up in her eyes, falling silently down her cheeks, their saltiness and bitterness almost tangible.

But he didn't want to disappoint his grandmother. In a broken voice, Raegan asked again, “Mitchel, can you come back? Please come back now, okay?

His words made Mitchel's heart skip a beat.

In his eyes, Raegan had always been strong, and he rarely pleaded with him in such a humble way.

His heart softened immediately.

«I'll be back soon. Hang in there and wait for me at home, okay?

Raegan's voice shook. “No, you don't understand, Mitchel. My grandmother.

“Raegan.” Hearing Lauren's cry of pain, Mitchel couldn't help but interrupt Raegan.

He thought Raegan was rushing him because she wasn't happy with him being with Lauren.

But given the circumstances, he couldn't leave Lauren alone abroad.

«I can't leave now, Raegan. "Lauren's condition is critical at this time."

When Mitchel realized he might have been too harsh, he added in a softer tone, "I promise you, when the worst is over, I'll spend more time with you."

Mitchel's words almost dashed all of Raegan's hopes.

She felt totally dejected.

Did Mitchel really think she was competing for his attention?

He felt as if a dagger had pierced his heart. It hurt him a lot.

Raegan's eyes filled with tears and she forced a bitter smile.

«Mitchel, in your eyes, my grandmother means nothing, right? Do you even care about me? "Is that why you can make a decision like that without thinking twice?"

Mitchel couldn't tolerate this any longer. He replied coldly, “Raegan, what's wrong with you? Why do you say something like that? What's the point?"

For a moment, it felt like an invisible hand was tearing at Raegan's heart.

The pain was unbearable, and she wanted to end the conversation right there.

But she couldn't bear the thought of her grandmother dying with the regret of not having met Mitchel.

So he pleaded, his voice shaking, “Mitchel, I'm not trying to manipulate you. My grandmother is dying. "He really wants to see you."

Mitchel frowned. Through the phone call, he couldn't see the desperation in Raegan's eyes. I already told you that I'm going to visit your grandmother. I won't break my promise. Be patient and wait for me, okay?

Raegan bit her lip hard and tried to hold back tears.

He lost his temper and shouted, “Mitchel, I'm not trying to cajole you into coming back. I'm telling you the truth. Why don't you trust me?

«Of course I trust you, but Lauren is very bad.

Yesterday he had a relapse and can't stay in the hospital without someone by his side. "I can't leave her like this."

Mitchel's firm attitude increased Raegan's desperation.

Once again, he had overestimated her importance to him.

For Mitchel, Lauren was the top priority.

He didn't care if his grandmother was sick or not.

Raegan's heart broke for him again.

“Mitchel, have you ever considered that Lauren might be using her so-called illness to keep you with her?”

«Raegan, don't say those things. "Lauren wouldn't stoop to doing those things," Mitchel replied.

«It may sound absurd, but it always works, right? That's why he keeps resorting to the same trick with you. Have you ever wondered why he only relapses when you are around, not in front of others?

Raegan nearly screamed, her voice bordering on hysteria.

Mitchel remained unconvinced.

"It's just a coincidence."

Raegan scoffed at that.

«Is it really just a coincidence?

Think about it, Mitchel. "I don't think there are so many coincidences in the world."

Even over the phone, Mitchel could sense that Raegan was in a bad mood.

He massaged his temples and said, "I promise you, Raegan, I'll fly back as soon as I can as soon as Lauren gets better."

Raegan looked down, looking completely exhausted. Her heart sank as she asked, “Mitchel, didn't you tell me that I was your top priority?”

He had said it to his face.

How could he let go of his promise so easily?

How could he be so cruel?

Mitchel replied coldly: “Yes, I said it, but sometimes you have to put your priorities in order. Right now, Lauren's life is hanging by a thread, and you want me to abandon her and run back to you?

A bitter smile spread across Raegan's face.

«Mitchel, what does whether Lauren is alive or not have anything to do with you? Only you believe what she has done. And if her life really hangs in the balance, why hasn't her family rushed to see her? Have you ever considered that it could all be part of his plan?

"Lauren's family is on the way," Mitchel said in an icy cold tone.

«Raegan, you have always been kind. Why have you become so ruthless?

Mitchel's words were the last straw, shattering Raegan's heart.

Her words were like a dagger stuck in his chest, causing him unbearable pain.

Tears filled her eyes. He smiled and said, “You're right. I'm vicious. I'm not reasonable.

I'm making a fuss. Go live a happy life with your kind and sensible Lauren. We… are done.”
