He disliked seeing Raegan lost in thought, her mind possibly wandering to Mitchel.
The thought nagged at him incessantly.
âRaegan,â Henley called out, breaking her reverie.
Raegan turned to him and asked, âYes? What is it?â
âDo you ever regret it?â Henley asked, his tone serious.
Raegan, initially perplexed, thought he was referring to their journey together for his abroad treatment.
She offered him a reassuring smile, her voice carrying a comforting tone, âOf course not, Henley.
Iâm here for you, and Iâll stay by your side until your leg is completely healed.

Henleyâs gaze intensified as he asked, âWhat if my condition is incurable? What if I remain disabled forever?â
âNo, you wonât,â Raegan reassured Henley.
âWell, Iâm just stating the âwhat ifsâ.
â Henley hesitated, his refined features half-lit in the dim glow, carrying a trace of coldness.
âWill you stay by my side and take care of me forever?â
Raegan fell silent, caught off guard.

The car jerked to a stop.
The car door was pulled open.
There stood Mitchel, his gaze piercing as he observed their entwined hands, his expression turning into a sneer.
Feeling dissected under his scornful eyes, Raegan was shaken.
âGet out,â Mitchelâs voice was icy as he addressed her.
Raegan instinctively tried to withdraw her hand, but Henleyâs grip was unyielding.
Henley, meeting Mitchelâs stern look, said evenly, âMr.
Dixon, we have a plane to catch.
â
Mitchel, exuding a chilling aura, disregarded Henley and pulled Raegan forcefully from the car.
