Her current apprehension was focused on Mitchel and Erick.
Her current worry was over the potential fallout Erick might face due to his rash actions toward Mitchel.
Determining Mitchelâs current state became her priority.
Suddenly, the door swung open.
Nicole entered the room.
âRaegan, are you alright?â
âIâm okay.
â
Despite Raeganâs reassurance, Nicole scrutinized Raegan thoroughly, finding comfort only when she was sure about Raeganâs well-being.
With Elin tied up with business affairs and unable to visit the hospital, she had asked Nicole to check in on Raegan.
Elin planned to visit after wrapping up her duties.
Sensing the conversation might shift toward topics of feminine interest, Erick chose that moment to exit.
Before leaving, he made sure Victor remained posted at the door to watch over Raegan, ensuring she didnât sneak away.
Upon Erickâs departure, Raegan turned to Nicole, asking, âNicole, could you assist me in stepping out for a while?â
Nicole, intrigued by Raeganâs words, inquired, âWhatâs the matter?â
After hearing Raeganâs explanation, Nicole took a moment to reflect and sighed.
âIt looks like youâre bound to cross paths with him, arenât you?â
Raeganâs confusion was evident upon hearing Nicole.
âNicole, are you familiar with Mitchel?â
It appeared to Raegan that Nicole held more insights into Mitchel than she did.
At times, she found it challenging to pin down exactly what kind of person Mitchel was.
âihat? Interested in him?â Nicole said, lightly teasing.
Raeganâs cheeks turned a shade of pink.
âNo, not really.
â Yet, understanding Mitchel better could prove beneficial for her.

Nicole stopped her playful remarks, pausing to consider, and shared, âApart from Lauren, Mitchel hasnât been linked to any other women.
He appeared to be quite upstanding.
However, his current treatment of Lauren suggests a possible past misunderstanding.
If heâs being so severe with Lauren now, maybe he had no affection for her in the past.
â
Reflecting on Janey, Nicole had harbored doubts about Janeyâs origins for some time.
Despite the Foster familyâs impeccable work with the claim of Janeyâs parents, Janeyâs facial features bore a resemblance to Mitchel.
It was only because Janeyâs eyes mirrored Raeganâs that this resemblance went unnoticed.
Turning to Raegan, Nicole suggested, âThere might be some misunderstandings between you and Mitchel.
It wouldnât hurt to try and understand him better.
â
If Mitchelâs past actions toward Lauren were misguided, there might still be room for forgiveness.
After all, loving parents would be good for Janeyâs upbringing.
Aware of Janeyâs desire for her father, Nicole had come to terms with her own lack of prospects for happiness, yet she wished for Raegan and Janey to find joy and satisfaction Swiftly, Nicole devised a strategy.
She procured a nurseâs outfit for Raegan.
Donning the nurse cap, mask, and glasses, Raegan was completely disguised.
As expected, Victor failed to recognize Raegan upon her exit.
Nicole followed suit, locking the door behind them and advising Victor, âRaegan is resting.
Letâs not disturb her.
â
Victor acknowledged her instructions.
Once outside, Nicole escorted Raegan to the parking lot before heading elsewhere.
