GoodReadIs It Your True Feelings Mitchel ignored the medical staff and the pain in his legs.
He refused to get on the stretcher.
He walked slowly, bearing the hurt and making a mental note to never act so foolishly again in the future, especially for Raegan
who wasn't interested in him.
He wanted to brand the horrible feelings he was experiencing into his mind to remind himself to never be in such a situation
again.
Raegan watched Mitchel through sad eyes.
Her heart ached.
Matteo turned to Raegan.
"Madam, Mr. Dixon thought you were the one lying there motionless.
He was in agony moments earlier until he found out that wasn’t you.” Tears threatened to spill, and Raegan tried her very best to
hold it all in.
She knew Mitchel was upset and wasn't even letting her explain.
"Could you give me updates on his condition at the hospital?" She tried to control the cracks in her voice.
Being an assistant, Matteo didn't have much say on this, but he still advised, "Mr.
Dixon genuinely worried about you.
I think it'll be better if you see him yourself and check on him." With that, he turned around and left, the bodyguards following suit.
Raegan was treated in the ambulance, and once she was done, she was taken to the police station to give her statement.
The evidence of Tessa's kidnapping was pretty clear.
Raegan quickly gave her statement and left the station.
There were some blood stains on her dress, so she had to get changed first before heading to the hospital.
She arrived at the hospital and called Matteo but he didn't pick up.
She asked around and it turned out that Mitchel was taken to the VIP ward.
He had gotten treated immediately, so he wasn't in any danger.
Raegan was finally able to relax a little.
Her phone rang.
It was Matteo.
It turned out that it wasn't really a good time to pay a visit.
There was some noise on his end.
It sounded like Mitchel’s parents.
"Okay. I understand,” she replied.
It wouldn't be wise for her to visit when Mitchel's parents were there.
Henley just went through the surgery and was still unconscious.
His parents were abroad, so it wasn't easy for them to get here.
The hospital staff were taking care of him.
Since Henley was injured when saving her, Raegan felt responsible for looking after him.
She took a few days off work and stayed by Henley’s side, waiting for his parents.
The doctor came in.
"Are you related to him?” "I'm his friend.
His parents are in transit.
They'll arrive tomorrow.
How is he?” "Luckily, the fall wasn't so bad.
He landed in a soil pit.
His life isn't in danger, but the wooden stick that pierced his leg had some mold.
We'll assess the progress when the family arrives." The doctor walked out once he was done.
That uneasy feeling in Raegan's chest began to grow again.
Why did Henley happen to be there at that critical moment and save her? She would only be able to understand once he was
awake.
Raegan stayed by Henley's side the entire night, only taking turns with the nurses a few times.
Before dawn, the nurse took turns with Raegan.
Raegan took the opportunity to get home.
She recalled that Mitchel enjoyed the porridge she made last time, so she decided to make some and bring it to him.
When it was all ready, it was dawn already.
Raegan rushed to the hospital to see Mitchel.
She had checked with Matteo in advance.
There was no one else there apart from him and the nurse in his ward at this hour.
Matteo proactively opened the door when he saw Raegan approaching.
As Mitchel's long-time assistant, Matteo had learned to decipher Mitchel's expressions and actions.
Mitchel's eyes would light up whenever someone came to visit him and then darken when the visitor wasn't Raegan.
Obviously, he had been expecting Raegan's appearance.
Mitchel had been resting..
His eyes were closed but immediately shot open when he heard the door creak.
Seeing that it was Raegan, he looked away indifferently.
It seemed he wasn't interested in seeing her.
Raegan's face turned pale, a mixture of emotions surging within her.
Then, she slowly walked toward his bed.
Mitchel raised his eyelids and said impatiently, "Who allowed you to come in?" Mitchel's eyes flashed with annoyance, seemingly
conveying his dislike for Raegan's appearance.
The urge to run away overwhelmed Raegan, but her feet wouldn't move.
She tightly clenched her hands, still longing to explain.
"Yesterday...
I didn't mean to ignore you.
| witnessed Henley’s sudden fall and believed he was in grave danger.
I panicked...” 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.
"I'm deeply moved by the fact that you were willing to sacrifice yourself to save me...” Mitchel could no longer bear to listen.
Moved? That was it? She didn't have anything else to say? Yesterday, he had wheeled himself to Henley’s 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 didn't she check on him in the night? She could have, but she didn't.
Instead, she ignored him completely.
Was she that oblivious? Couldn't she see that he had feelings for her? The accumulated frustration hardened Mitchel's
expression, his gaze turning cold and distant.
"Done yet?" Raegan's 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 couldn't get the words to come out.
Mitchel's gaze shifted to the magazine in his hand.
"You should leave once you're done." 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 didn't.
A few seconds passed and she looked up at him, her voice trembling.
“Is that truly what you want?" 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 kissed him softly.
A few seconds went by and she pulled away.
"Well? What's your answer now?"
