The anguish in his heart surpassed what he could endure.
Those he longed to hold close for eternity, he now had to push awayâ¦
Mitchel clenched and then relaxed his fists, his voice reverting to its hollow indifference.
âDid Henley depart?â
âHe did.
He stood at the corner, observing everything.
Iâm unsure if heâll trail Mrs.
Dixonâ¦â Matteo replied.
Mitchel cut him off abruptly, his tone icy with command.
âDonât call her like that again.
â
Matteo, accustomed to addressing Raegan as Mrs.
Dixon, momentarily slipped.
âApologies, Mr.
Dixon.
I meant Miss Foster.
â
Mitchelâs gaze faltered.
At this juncture, Henley likely wouldnât dare to make any moves.
With Victor around Raegan, Henley couldnât exploit any opportunities.
Matteo reported, âMr.
Henley Dixon attempted to bribe the nurse at the station for information regarding your motherâs condition, but fortunately, we had taken precautions.
â
In the hospital bed lay a woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to Luciana.
The real Luciana, however, remained unconscious, having been transferred overseas early on, still dependent on a ventilator in the Icu.
The assertion that Luciana had awakened was primarily a ploy to unsettle Alexis.
Matteo continued, âAdditionally, Beufordâs murder has been confirmed.
His body was discovered in a reservoir 800 kilometers away.
â
Mitchelâs expression hardened, his Lips forming a tight line.
âLetâs not incite further chaos just yet.
Ensure Beuford receives a proper burial under a veil of secrecy.
â
âUnderstood, Mr.
Dixon.
â
Despite the dizziness threatening to overwhelm him, Mitchel attempted to rise once more, his legs unsteady.
Observing Mitchelâs struggle, Matteo voiced his concern, âMr.
Dixon, perhaps you should rest a while Longer.
â
Yet, Mitchel, driven by sheer determination, straightened himself upright once more.
Once he stood tall, despite his myriad ailments, he concealed them effortlessly, resembling a towering mountain.
There was no time for respite.
Soon, he wouldnât be able to walk at all.
His time was running out.
Mitchelâs handsome visage regained its sternness, his voice chillingly resolute as he instructed, âTomorrow, we begin dealing with them!â
Raegan departed the VIP floor in a daze, wandering.
A sudden sharp pain in her lower abdomen jolted her out of her thoughts.
Instructing Victor to escort Janey back first, Raegan started to make her way to the obstetrics department for a checkup.
By then, Janey had settled down, and her tears subsided, though she was reluctant to leave Raeganâs side.
Pouting, she murmured, âMommy, just nowâ¦â
Seeing Raeganâs pallor, Victor swiftly intervened, âJaney, letâs discuss it tonight at home, alright?â
Observing her motherâs distress, Janey nodded solemnly.
âOkay.
Mommy, Iâll wait for you to come back.
â
âVery well, Janey.
Be good and listen to Victor,â Raegan reassured Janey before heading off for her examination.
