Although she said so, she didnât dare to look into his eyes at all as if he was some kind of a monster, and she was afraid to get close.
His lips curved into a faint smile.
He could only shake his head helplessly.
Suddenly, a loud bang broke the silence in the ward.
The door was kicked open.
Then, Alexis stormed in and shouted angrily, âYou bastard! Youâve grown some backbones, huh? So you really think you are now capable of provoking anyone?â
After saying this, Alexis noticed Raegan beside the hospital bed.
His eyes narrowed, and he glared at her with a gloomy expression.
âWhat are you doing here? Get out!â
After shouting at Raegan, Alexis turned to Mitchel and said, âWhat is going on with the bodyguards here? How can they let anyone in?â

But then, Mitchelâs grip tightened.
It seemed he wanted her to stay and witness the scene.
Their clasped hands ignited something in Alexisâ heart.
He could not believe his son would upset the Benton family and forsake the lucrative project for a woman Like Raegan.
To him, Raegan was merely a beauty from a humble background, doing no favors for the family business.
