As Mitchel was about to gently push her away, the door burst open with a loud crash.
Nicole entered.
Observing the scene, Nicole remarked sarcastically, âIt seems Iâve interrupted at an inopportune moment.
â
Mitchelâs expression turned into a frown.

Startled, Lauren scurried behind Mitchel, questioning, âWhy would you barge into someone elseâs hospital room?â
Lauren knew Nicole was Raeganâs close friend.
Their paths had crossed at a social gathering, though they werenât well acquainted.
âDonât worry, I wonât take long.
You two can resume after Iâve left,â
Nicole responded casually, her lips painted a bold red.
At that moment, her smile radiated confidence.
Lauren suspected Nicoleâs presence was linked to Raegan and Mitchel, sparking a flicker of malice in her eyes.
She retorted with clear disdain, âMiss Lawrence, this is my ward.
I insist you leave.
â
A year ago, Lauren might have shown more courtesy toward Nicole, considering the Lawrence familyâs standing comparable to the Murray family.
However, with Jarrod now dominating the Lawrence family, which reportedly survived on Nicoleâs compromises, Lauren felt no need for politeness.
In her eyes, Nicole was beneath her, unworthy even of carrying her shoes.
Nicoleâs sneer grew sharper.
âHow can I witness you clinging to another womanâs husband if I leave?â
âWhat do you mean by that?â
Lauren fixed Nicole with an angry glare, the conviction that Mitchel was her rightful husband firm in her heart.
She believed it was only a matter of time before Mitchel became hers officially.
âAm I mistaken?â Nicole challenged, her eyes piercing Lauren as she sneered with disdain.
âYou parade around as a mistress, flaunting yourself before Mitchelâs legitimate wife, even framing her.
How disgraceful!â
Laurenâs face drained of color as she retorted loudly, âWho are you referring to? Whoâs the mistress here?â
âAnd who were you clinging to? In a hospital, no less! The audacity to hold Raeganâs husband here.
Your brazenness in private must be appalling,â Nicole accused, her gaze raking over them, unable to hide her disgust.
She thought of them as an utterly shameless pair and was determined to unleash her frustration.
Hearing her words, Mitchel addressed Nicole in a frosty tone, âMind your language, Nicole.
â
The thought of Raeganâs injuries reignited Nicoleâs anger.
âIâm not the one who should be behaving,â she retorted.
