A wave of emotions hit Raegan.
Learning of Mitchelâs upcoming engagement was one thing, but seeing Eloise in person felt like a fresh wound.
How could she forget Eloiseâs sweet and flirtatious voice in the tent when Mitchel risked his life to save her?
For a moment, Raegan felt as though an invisible hand had slapped her.
Her heart sank with grief.
Perhaps Mitchelâs heroics were driven by guilt over the baby, not the feelings Raegan had hoped for.
At this moment, Raegan quietly stepped aside and let them pass.
In an instant, Alexisâ demeanor transformed in Eloiseâs presence.
He shook hands with the middle-aged woman and greeted her warmly, âMrs.
Benton, what brings you here?â
âs BunnyBookery âI came after hearing about Mitchelâs heroic deed.
I wanted to see if heâs recovering well,â Polly replied.
Upon hearing her words, Raeganâs complexion lost its color once more.
A heroic deed? It turned out that that was how they described the incident.
Well, it would not be appropriate to suggest that Mitchel had left his fiancée behind to save another woman.
âYour thoughtfulness is much appreciated,â Alexis gratefully expressed.
âItâs the least I can do.
After all, our families will be united soon.
â
As Polly spoke, she placed a deliberate emphasis on the word âfamilyâ.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Raeganâs face.
She could consider Pollyâs words just now as an awakening.
What reason did Polly have to lie?
Now, Raegan had no reason to stay anymore.
So, she turned around and walked toward the elevator.
Polly was stunned when she saw Raegan.
She asked Alexis, âWho is she?â
Eloise also saw Raegan.
She was about to approach and greet Raegan when Alexis suddenly said, âI donât know her.
â
Alexis looked at Raeganâs back and explained to Polly scornfully, âShe should be a hospital cleaner.
â
Of course, Raegan heard this.
She stopped in her tracks.
Indeed, Alexis would never miss a chance to belittle her.
But his words were no longer a blow to her.
