But the pain never came.
Instead, she collided into Mitchel.
Startled, she found her lips tightly pressed against his bare skin.
To make matters worse, she felt him stiffen under her touch.
She blushed furiously and struggled to push him away.
As a result, Mitchelâs back, which had just been bandaged, hit the back of the chair.
He couldnât help but gasp in pain.
Raegan froze in place, mortified at what she had just done.
She stared at his pale face, her heart aching with guilt.
âDoes it hurt?â she asked in a panic.
Brows knitted and lips pursed, it seemed that Mitchel could hardly speak.
His chest heaved violently as though he needed to take several deep breaths to calm down.
Raegan stretched out her hand and gingerly touched his back to see if the wound had opened up.
But the next moment, Mitchel suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her over.
Their faces were mere inches apart.
He fixed his fiery eyes on her, his lips a ghastly pale.
âI may need pain killers.
â
Raegan hurriedly asked, âWhere are they?â
âRight here.
â He suddenly lowered his head and ki*sed her.
Mitchelâs lips brushed gently against Raeganâs, igniting a warmth within him.
It felt as if his heart was leaping, every part of him yearning for moreâ¦
Mitchelâs heart throbbed with longing.
He wanted to embrace Raegan and shower her with ki*ses at that moment.
He had thought he had lost her previously, but he later bumped into her, making him shift from sorrow to joy.
Despite Raeganâs memory Loss over their shared past and her resistance to his advance, Mitchel was determined to patch things up with her, knowing she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
With a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside him, Mitchel found himself speechless.
All he desired was to hold Raegan tightly in his arms.
But he held back, limiting his ki*s to her lips, overflowing with boundless affection.

n, and angrily pounded Mitchelâs chest.
âOuchâ¦â Mitchel groaned in pain, and Raegan realized she had inadvertently touched the wound on his shoulder again.
Raeganâs actions softened.
She felt a mix of shame, frustration, and anger.
âRaeganâ¦â Reluctant to release her lips, Mitchel held her face gently, softly calling out to her.
âYou donât want to hit me, do you?â
âDonât talk nonsense!â Raegan raised her hand, poised to strike him again.
However, she refrained when she recalled how he had risked everything to protect her just moments ago.
Mitchel laughed softly, caressing her lips with his fingers.
âSeems like they havenât forgotten me.
â
Raegan frowned, her voice a mix of embarrassment and annoyance.
âHave you lost your mind? Quit spouting nonsense!â
Mitchelâs gaze intensified, saying, âWhat if I can show you itâs true?â
Raegan found herself at a loss for words.
How could he possibly demonstrate such a thing?
Before she could articulate her thoughts, Mitchel closed the distance between them once again.
âYou!â Raeganâs eyes widened in shock, pushing against him.
Before she could say another word, Mitchel gently bit on her Lips.
