Raegan stared in shock as the man jumped over a railing.
The next second, a loud tire screech echoed, and the man was flung into the air, landing with a thud.
Before Raegan could fully understand what happened, Mitchel was quick to cover her eyes, whispering, âDonât look.
â
The aftermath outside was horrifying, with the manâs body torn apart and unrecognizable.
Matteo, barely able to see, immediately had his men to apprehend the hit-and-run driver.
Mitchel, with a determined look, ordered, âOnce youâve handed him to the police, dig into the driverâs past.
â
It appeared the crash wasnât an accident but a calculated act, possibly to silence the man for good.
The person orchestrating this remained unknown.
Mitchelâs face hardened with resolve.
He was determined to thwart the other partyâs schemes at every turn.
Instead of rushing Raegan to the hospital, Mitchel chose Luisâ lab for its cutting-edge technology and quicker test results.
There, Raegan went through an extensive evaluation, including tests for any infections from the needle prick on her finger.
Outside the room Raegan was in.
Luis examined the cut on Mitchelâs arm, his brow creased with concern.
âGood thing the knife wasnât poisoned.
You worry so much about Raegan, yet you donât seem to care about yourself at all.
â
Mitchel simply shrugged.
âI am tough enough.
â
Mitchel would protect Raegan from poison or anything else, without a second thought.
It was an instinct, not something he would argue about.
After Luis had treated and bandaged Mitchelâs wound, he became serious.
âThereâs something off with your blood test.
We need to see a specialist whoâll be back at the base in two weeks.
â
Mitchel just nodded.
âGot it.
â
But Luis was worried by Mitchelâs laid-back response and pressed on, âPlease, take this seriously.
Iâm really worried.
â
Luis had his doubts about the blood test results being so straightforward, suspecting there was more to the irregularity, a mystery he hadnât figured out yet.
The more Luis thought about it, the more agitated he got, mumbling, âLauren has really gone too far this time, resorting to the extremes of pricking you.
â
Luis marveled at the lengths a woman could go for in the name of love.
âKeep your voice down, Mitchel warned Luis, not wanting Raegan to worry about him.
âWhat were you discussing?â Raegan walked out after her check-up, catching the tail end of their conversation.
The room went quiet.
Looking curious, Raegan asked Luis, âWho did Lauren prick?â
