He pinched her earlobe and said, âWhat I desire is for you to take care of me.
â He wanted to spend more time with her, to be with her, and cherish every moment with her.
âThatâs all?â Raegan asked in disbelief.
Mitchel didnât seize the opportunity to make excessive demands.
It was so unlikely of him.
This was not his style.
âYou want more than that?â Mitchel was amused that Raegan seemed disoriented by his willingness not to pressure her, a deviation from her expectations.
His lips suddenly quirked.
âBut, of course, if you want to do something else, I will be delighted to accept it.
â
He emphasized the words âsomething elseâ deliberately.
Raeganâs face flushed even more.
âYou wish!â
Raegan was about to get up from the bed.
But Mitchel quickly pulled her back and held her waist tightly.
âYou are not allowed to leave tonight.
â
His words were full of his habitual authoritative tone.
But actually, he was worried about her foot.
It didnât seem serious.
But she shouldnât wear shoes.
Otherwise, her footâs condition would worsen.
It was better to let her stay overnight, so she could rest.
âNo, Iâm leaving.
â Raegan refused to stay, especially when she was reminded of the ki*s they had just now.
She felt her face was burning.
The corners of Mitchelâs mouth curled up.
âLook at me.
With my current condition, what can I possibly do to you?â
When Raegan thought of his injuries, she couldnât help blaming herself.
Her resistance weakened.
She faltered, âButâ¦â
âNo buts,â Mitchel interrupted.
He hugged her even tighter, refusing to let her go.
âShall I call your brother for this?â There was a hint of danger in his tone.
âShould I tell him that his sister has to take care of the person who got even injured because of her?â
âYou wonât hold my brother responsible, right?â Raeganâs eyes widened.
She warned, âDonât you dare!â
Mitchelâs deep-set black eyes stared at her intensely.
âYou seem adept at negotiating with me.
â
Raeganâs voice softened a little when she said, âNo, thatâs not my intention.
My brother seldom gets into fights.
He was only impulsive at that time because he was worried about me.
So, can you let it pass?â
âFight?â Mitchelâs eyes darkened.
Raegan was staunchly defending her brother, and he couldnât help but feel jealous.
He corrected her, âIt wasnât a fight.
He assaulted me, and I wasnât allowed to defend myself.
â But if Erick was not Raeganâs brother, Erick must have been lying in the ICU by now.
Mitchel felt a sense of injustice.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, âYou exploit my affection for you to mistreat me.

As he spoke, he sounded aggrieved.
His mood was a bit melancholic.
When Raegan saw the expression on Mitchelâs face, she felt like she was affected by his mood.
Suddenly, her heart hurt.
For some reason, she felt sorry for him.
Indeed, it was Erickâs fault for attacking Mitchel.
And Raegan felt responsible for what had happened to Mitchel.
At this moment, she felt like he deserved an apology.
So, she said softly, âOn behalf of my brother, I apologize to you.
I am so sorry for his impulsiveness and any distress I have caused you.
Will you accept my apology?â
Mitchel was frustration.
But it was not because of Erickâs assault.
