The next moment, his hand was abruptly swatted away.
âf@ck off!â
Raeganâs pale face contorted with evident disgust.
Mitchelâs hand hovered, suspended in mid-air, his expression turning somber.
Suddenly, he felt arms encircle him from behind.
Lauren, finding her savior, clung to Mitchel, quivering.
Her fear rendered her speech disjointed.
âMitchel, Raegan has lost her mind.
She crushed my knees⦠The pain is unbearable.
Please, help me.
Sheâs deranged.
She might kill meâ¦â
A nurse entered, visibly shocked at the roomâs chaos.
She quickly helped Raegan onto the bed.
The wound on Raeganâs ear, aggravated by Laurenâs earlier assault, started bleeding anew, but Raegan seemed detached, her gaze icy as she observed their interaction, her eyes brimming with scorn.
Mitchel assisted a still-crying, trembling Lauren into a wheelchair.
Laurenâs hands clung to his as if anchored by sheer terror.
Her ability to feign distress was remarkable.
Previously, Raegan would have frantically offered explanations, fearing misinterpretation.
But now, Raegan was devoid of emotion.

Her only desire was a swift divorce, to distance herself from this disgusting man and woman and never encounter them again.
Though held by Lauren, Mitchelâs gaze lingered on Raegan, his concerns evident.
He instructed the nurse, âGet the doctor, quickly!â
Lauren, mistaking his concerns for her injuries, clutched his hands tighter, her voice shaking.
âI donât want to stay here, Mitchel.
Raegan is unhinged.
Iâm terrified.
Please, take me awayâ¦â
With a sneer, Raegan warned, âYeah, Mr.
Dixon, escort your beloved to the doctor, or else I fear I may end up taking her life.
Imagine the anguish youâll feel then.
â
Mitchelâs brow furrowed.
He gently pushed Lauren aside and stepped toward Raegan, hand outstretched in an attempt to clarify, ââRaegan, youâve got it all wrong, I didnâtâ¦â
âMitchel!â
Suddenly, Lauren clutched at his sleeve, her voice laced with panic.
