When Mitchel regained consciousness, everything seemed a bit unreal.
With his pale face, he blinked, adjusting to the brightness in the room, instinctively looking around for Raegan.
But only Matteoâs dark shadow appeared before Mitchel.
âMr.
Dixon, youâre awake!â Matteo exclaimed in surprise.
âUmâ¦â Maybe because he hadnât spoken in days, Mitchelâs voice came out hoarse and barely recognizable.
âThatâs great!â Matteo was so excited he was on the verge of tears.
If Mitchel had not woken up today, Matteo would not have been able to keep going.
Ultimately, there were piles of documents to handle, and while Matteo could keep Mitchelâs coma a secret, he couldnât make choices on Mitchelâs behalf.
âMr.
Dixon, regarding that injection fluid, itâsâ¦â
Just as Matteo was about to bring up the syringe, Mitchel cut him off.
âRaegan⦠Howâs she doing?â
Mitchel cared little about his own condition.
Instead and was deadly worried about Raegan.
After all, the memory of Raegan suffering in his embrace that day caused an unbearable ache in his heart.
Observing Mitchelâs anxious look, Matteo stayed quiet for a moment before saying, âShe is in good health.
You donât have to worry about her.
â
Mitchel appeared somewhat doubtful as he persisted, âAre you sure?â
âYes, Mr.
Dixon.
â Matteo glanced at Mitchelâs pale face, feeling sad.

He choked up a bit and said, âI visit her every day, and the doctors have assured me everythingâs fine.
â
While Raegan was doing well, Mitchel didnât wake up until now.
Matteo couldnât shake off the unease regarding the content of the the syringe.
Lauren appeared to have lost it back then.
âMr.
Dixon, about that syringeâ¦â Matteo started to recount the whole story.
Mitchel popped himself up.
He moved his arms and wiggled his toes effortlessly.
Apart from the numbness in his limbs before, it appeared there were no other effects on his body.
Matteo explained, âThe police think Lauren might have occasional schizophrenia.
Itâs likely she meant to fill the syringe with poison but ended up using the wrong one by mistake.
â
For now, this was the only speculation.
After all, there was no other evidence to be found.
Mitchel didnât dwell on it, especially since he didnât feel anything wrong with his body.
But when Matteo brought up Lauren possibly having schizophrenia, Mitchelâs brow furrowed slightly as he asked, âAre you certain about her having schizophrenia?â
âYes, it has been confirmed.
Three separate evaluations, including one from our own medical team,â Matteo hurriedly responded, understanding Mitchelâs concern.
âDonât worry.
Lauren was in her right mind during the incident, so she wonât get away with it.
â
Given the gravity of Laurenâs offenses, there was no escaping severe punishment.
Furthermore, even if her actions were influenced by schizophrenia at that time, someone this dangerous would still be sentenced to life imprisonment.
âWhatâs the news on Raegan?â Mitchel glanced at Matteo and asked, âWhen did Raegan wake up?â
