When Matteo caught sight of the figure on the ground, he dashed over, dropped to one knee, and exclaimed, âMr.
Dixon!â
With no response from Mitchel, Matteoâs anxiety surged as he quickly initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Yet, despite his efforts, Mitchel remained unresponsive.
Matteo swiftly hoisted Mitchel into his arms and carried him downstairs.
Raegan trailed behind Matteo, her movements instinctual.
When Matteo placed Mitchel in the back seat of the car, she stopped.
Matteo turned to Raegan, his expression pleading.
âMrs.
Dixon, please, come with us.
â
Raeganâs eyes stung with unshed tears.
She clenched her fists, attempting to move forward several times before finally reigning in her emotions.
âIâm not going,â she uttered, her voice devoid of warmth.
Disbelief flickered across Matteoâs features, disappointment evident in his gaze.
âActually, Mr.
Dixonâ¦â
Raegan cut him off, urgency coloring her tone, âHurry up.
â
Matteo nearly forgot Mitchelâs directive to keep Mitchel being injected by a mysterious syringe a secret from Raegan.
With time ticking away, Matteo bit his lip and withheld his words.
Starting the car, he sped off without another glance.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, Raegan slumped against the door frame and suddenly sat on the ground.
The chill of scare swept over her like an arctic wind, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
With a soft click, a lone tear fell onto the back of her hand.
Looking at the tear, Raegan couldnât help but feel a profound sadness welling within her.
Wasnât her heart already beyond feeling? Yet here she was, consumed by anguish over Mitchel lying in a coma.
No matter how vehemently she tried to convince herself that she didnât care, she found herself unable to stem the tide of tears.
It was as if her emotions were beyond her control.
What if something really happened to him?
The fear of the unknown gripped her heart tightly, spreading through her veins like a poison.
In a sudden surge of determination, Raegan attempted to rise and make her way to the hospital.
But her legs, weakened by the weight of her emotions, refused to cooperate, threatening to give way beneath her.
âRaegan!â A familiar figure rushed to her side, steadying her with a supportive grasp.
Tears welled up in Raeganâs eyes as she gazed at the man before her.
âStefan, help me⦠I need to get to the hospital.
â
Having received a call from Annis, Stefan had rushed here without hesitation.
In Erickâs absence, Stefan temporarily took up residence in the villa next door to look after Raegan.
As they drove to the hospital, Stefan turned his handsome face to look at Raegan and noticed her distressed state.
His hands couldnât help but tighten on the steering wheel.
He offered reassurance in a soft tone, âDonât worry.
If there is no previous medical history, a brief coma usually isnât cause for major concern.
