âYesterday⦠I didnât mean to ignore you.
I witnessed Henleyâs sudden fall and believed he was in grave danger.
I panickedâ¦â
Henley had sacrificed himself to save Raegan at that critical moment.
The scene weakened her knees, drawing her attention to the gravely injured Henley.
Her instincts prevented her from prioritizing Mitchel at that time.
Moreover, Henley was still unconscious, showing how serious his case was.
âIâm deeply moved by the fact that you were willing to sacrifice yourself to save meâ¦â
Mitchel could no longer bear to listen.
Moved? That was it? She didnât have anything else to say? Yesterday, he had wheeled himself to Henleyâs ward, hoping to find some clues.
But what did he find?
Raegan was taking care of Henley.
If she actually did care for him, why didnât she check on him in the night? She could have, but she didnât.
Instead, she ignored him completely.
Was she that oblivious? Couldnât she see that he had feelings for her?
The accumulated frustration hardened Mitchelâs expression, his gaze turning cold and distant.
âDone yet?â
Raeganâs jaw dropped slightly.
She remained frozen in her spot, stunned by his chilly gaze.
Her heart ached badly.
She wanted to speak but she just couldnât get the words to come out.
Mitchelâs gaze shifted to the magazine in his hand.
âYou should leave once youâre done.
â
His cold words hit Raegan like a hammer, causing the ache in her chest to increase.
Raegan held her breath, afraid that she might just end up crying if she didnât.

A few seconds passed and she looked up at him, her voice trembling.
âIs that truly what you want?â
Was he actually being honest? Did he really want her to leave?
Mitchel said nothing in response, instead his grip on the magazine tightened.
His fingers turned pale from how tight he was gripping it.
His silence only made Raegan feel worse.
She placed the thermos flask on the table and stared at him intensely.
Just as Mitchel thought Raegan was about to leave, unexpectedly, she leaned in and her lips gently met his.
She lacked tactics but she ki*sed him softly.
A few seconds went by and she pulled away.
âWell? Whatâs your answer now?â
Raeganâs voice wavered, betraying her uncertainty.
Taking such a bold step was unfamiliar to her, and her hand, resting on Mitchelâs arm, was rigid with tension.
