Matteo assured her, âWeâve got everything in the kitchen.
â
Raegan gave a knowing smile.
She was going to âproperlyâ cook some nutritious soup for Mitchel.
Inside Mitchelâs ward.
Katie, ever adaptable, quickly shook off any disappointment, held up the thermos, and announced, âMitchel, hereâs some soup for you.
Try it out.
â
âI donât want it.
â
Katieâs frustration grew as she noticed Mitchelâs lack of interest, feeling a wave of bitterness wash over her.
He seemed to prefer the nurseâs cooking over hers.
Leaning back against the headboard, Mitchel glanced at Katie and asked, âHowâs your father doing these days?â
Katie, thinking Mitchel was showing concern for her family, brightened up.
âDadâs doing well.
He often mentions you, saying he didnât see you at dinner with your mom last time.
Heâs been missing you.
â
Mitchel, however, didnât seem to catch her hopeful tone and replied indifferently, âIf heâs doing well, then we should clear up any misunderstandings with a public statement soon.
â
Katieâs face lost its color.
She had let this issue slip her mind.
She didnât expect Mitchel to remember her words, which were nothing but excuses, thinking he would forget about the public statement over time.
Mitchel added, âIâll get Matteo to prepare the statement and send it over for your review.
It wonât harm either of our reputations.
â
Initially, Mitchel didnât mind the content of the public statement, not caring about his own reputation.
But now, he felt it was unfair for him to acknowledge something he hadnât done, not wanting Raegan to get the wrong idea.
He wanted Raegan to understand that he had been faithful, without any involvement with other women for the past five years.
Katieâs eyes instantly reddened.
She hastily said, âMitchel, your position isnât secure yet.
The shareholders from my uncleâs side are watching you closely.
Have you thought about how cutting ties with me now might affect you?â
She added earnestly, âI can handle it.
Itâs been so long, and Iâm prepared to continue Like thisâ¦â
âItâs not going to happen,â Mitchel interrupted her firmly.
âWe canât put off the clarification any longer.
Matteo will work with you on it.
Once Iâm feeling better, Iâll make things clear to your family.

His voice was firm, allowing no argument.
Katie was stunned, tears starting to fill her eyes.
At that moment, her emotions overwhelmed her, and she couldnât hold back any longer, admitting, âI⦠I donât want this.
â
Mitchel looked at her sharply, his tone icy.
âKatie, weâre not going to argue about this.
â
Seeing the pain in her eyes, he couldnât conceal his irritation, stating plainly, âOnce we release the statement, I expect no more rumors about us, got it?â
Katie broke down, crying harder, unable to keep her feelings in check.
âMitchelâ¦â
She stepped closer, almost kneeling by his bed, gripping the sheets tightly.
âHow can you do this to me? Donât you remember how my family supported you when you needed it?â
Katie wept bitterly, tears streaming.
âMitchel, are you really going to forget all weâve been through once youâve got what you needed?â
