Mitchelâs trips, which she thought were for business, were actually his way of protecting her, tirelessly investigating despite his own responsibilities, all without telling her.
Tears filled Raeganâs eyes, as she grasped the extent of her oversight concerning his dedication.
Matteo, noticing Raeganâs guilt, softened his expression.
He knew what information to share and what to keep to himself.
With Mitchelâs health in jeopardy, alerting Raegan to potential threats might heighten her vigilance, ensuring her own safety.
The last thing Mitchel wanted was to see any harm come Raeganâs way.
Matteo added, âMiss Foster, Iâm sharing this to urge you to be more vigilant for your safety and to show you that Mr.
Dixon has been unwavering in his commitment to you.
Heâs been protecting you with great effort, choosing not to burden you with these issues, but his care for you is deep and sincere.
â
Raegan bit her lip, her throat tightening with emotion.
She feared that even uttering the slightest sound would unleash a torrent of tears.
Mitchel had quietly done so much for her, always ensuring her safety, without ever seeking recognition.
What a fool he was.
Matteo went off to get in touch with Luis, troubled by the decline in Mitchelâs condition, which used to be robust.
The pressing issue was whether the decline was due to the effect of the syringe.
Matteo wanted Luis to bring the oversea doctor to Ardlens and diagnose Mitchelâs condition.
Raegan remained by Mitchelâs bedside, not leaving him for a moment.
In the evening, she tenderly cleaned his face with a warm cloth, her fingers carefully outlining his features.
For so long, she had never taken the time to observe him.
Mitchelâs lashes were indeed long, lending him a look of innate affection.
His straight nose and well-defined jawline were striking.
There wasnât a single aspect of him that wasnât appealing.
As Raegan touched his lips, often seen as a sign of sternness, she felt overwhelmed by his deep love.
Tears filled her eyes as she softly said, âYou big foolâ¦â
Nicole got back to Jarrodâs place after her dayâs work.
She had been staying here for some days now.
She had brought her clothing over for daily needs.
During mealtime, a servant mentioned Jarrod was in a video conference.
Therefore, Nicole didnât go up to check on him.
These past few days, Jarrodâs condition has slightly improved.
Barely able to get out of bed, he started dealing with the backlog of work.
Nicole respected him for his work ethic.
In terms of dedication to work, Jarrod was among the best.
It was a relief to see him getting better.
Once he was fully on his feet, she planned to leave.
While eating, Nicole thought about her upcoming deal with Mr.
Hampton.
It wasnât ideal for her to attend in person, but there was no suitable candidate.
After thinking it over, she decided she would have to do it herself.
Planning the deal required meticulous preparation.
With her mind elsewhere, Nicole barely touched her food, eating just a little.
