However, the doctor quickly tempered his optimism.
âDonât be overly hopeful.
Iâll do what I can.
The rest is in fateâs hands.
â
Luis, struck silent by worry, furrowed his brows.
With a heavy sigh, the doctor added, âWhen he arrived, he murmured something about âRaeganâ before slipping into a deep coma.
â
After the doctor departed, Luis remained steadfast by Mitchelâs hospital bed, refusing to leave the room.
He grasped the need to keep Mitchelâs presence here under wraps, a move aimed to ensure Mitchelâs safety and the doctorâs as well.
As Luis watched Mitchelâs strained expression during his unconscious state, he remembered what the doctor just said.
He cleared his throat and softly said to Mitchel, âYou canât just sleep like this.
Raegan is still waiting for you to returnâ¦â
The next second, Luis gasped since Mitchelâs eyelashes appeared to twitch.
Heartened, Luis leaned closer, whispering repeatedly, âRaegan is waiting for you; stay strong for Raeganâ¦â
Luis continued until his voice grew hoarse, but Mitchel lay unresponsive.
Disheartened, Luis stepped outside to take off his mask and gulped down several mouthfuls of water.
He then glanced back at Mitchelâs fragile, pale form.
With a sigh, Luis put on the sterile suit again and re-entered the lab, persisting in his soft calls to Mitchel.
Meanwhile, back in Ardlens, Raegan had disrupted the schemes plotted by Alexis and his cronies.
At the police station, Lucianaâs determination was palpable.
She was bent on conducting a thorough investigation.
Despite the Glyn familyâs attempts to wield their influence, Luciana stood her ground.
Katie assumed she would be released after 48 hours and acted against making a scene.
However, just as the deadline approached, Luciana produced a recording of a phone conversation.
In the recording, while Katie had not directly voiced a command of killing someone, the implications were undeniable.
Now trapped in the police station, Katie hated Luciana to the core.
Katie protested that such stealthy recordings should not qualify as evidence, yet Luciana introduced further proof that implied Katieâs involvement in a murder conspiracy.
Furious, Katie saw that Luciana was determined to prolong her confinement.
Having no alternative, Katie begrudgingly requested to speak with Luciana.
Luciana consented.
She was eager to confront Katie and questioned the latter whether she possessed any moral sense.
Before Katieâs scheming side surfaced in Lucianaâs presence, Luciana deemed Katie as considerate and understanding and treated the latter like her own daughter.
However, to Lucianaâs disappointment, Katie dared to plot with Alexis and have Lauren murder her only son.
Never in this life would Luciana accept that all these evil individuals could walk away without facing the music.
She was resolute in seeing them behind the bars.
In the detention room.
