The typically resolute girl let out a cry of pain, Mitchelâs eyes brimmed with emotion, his heart aching at her suffering.
If only he could bear the pain in her stead.
The anguish evident in Mitchelâs eyes did not escape Lauren.
This display of emotion from Mitchel was unprecedented.
He had never shown such vulnerability to her before.
Mitchelâs seemingly kind gestures in the past were merely superficial acts of compensation with money and material possessions.
But this genuine sentiment was reserved solely for Raegan, from beginning to end.
Consumed by rage and madness, Laurenâs eyes gleamed with malice as she fumbled for a syringe, plunging it into her thigh with a frenzied determination.
The potent drug surged through her veins, numbing the pain and fueling her with boundless strength.
Then, brandishing a syringe, Lauren lunged forward, driven by a desire for revenge.
âWretched woman, rot in hell!â
The freezing cold surrounded Raegan, engulfing her in an icy cave and causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
Memories from the past surged through Raeganâs mind like a slideshow.
âThis is the divorce agreement⦠Donât be ridiculous⦠Laurenâs condition is grave⦠Be reasonable⦠How could you be so heartlessâ¦
Donât use such childish anticsâ¦â
Each word felt like a dagger, piercing deeply into Raeganâs heart.
Sweat beaded on her temples as she curled up in anguish.

Amidst the turmoil, Raegan caught sight of Mitchel holding her past self, who desperately pleaded, âMitchel, save us⦠Save our childâ¦â
Painful memories flooded into Raeganâs mind like a bursting dam, leaving her on the brink of collapse.
Seizing the opportunity, Lauren aimed the long, slender needle at Raeganâs neck.
Its sharp tip gleamed with a menacing light as it darted forward.
Mitchelâs dark eyes widened in alarm.
Just as he was about to act, he suddenly heard something.
âArgh!â Raeganâs cry of pain echoed through the room.
Mitchelâs heart skipped a beat.
Right then, the needle hovered just a millimeter from Raeganâs neck.
Without hesitation, Mitchel grasped the syringe.
It felt like a mosquito had bitten him as the needle pierced into his palm.
The next second, Mitchelâs body went limp, numb, and powerless.
Phantoms danced before Mitchelâs eyes.
He shook his head violently and bit down hard on his tongue.
The metallic taste of blood jolted him back to reality, if only for a moment.
âBang!â
Mitchel delivered a heavy kick that sent Lauren crashing into the door panel.
Lauren didnât even have a chance to utter a groan before losing consciousness.
Raeganâs hand felt as cold as ice, and her heart throbbed with pain.
Seeing her agonized expression, Mitchelâs heart twisted painfully, and he felt utterly helpless.
He clung to her tightly.
His grip was so intense that his fingers turned white.
He was desperately trying to transfer his warmth to her.
