Love Unbreakable

Chapter 373 Danger Approaching "I've asked someone to verify the body," Mitchel replied.

"Good. I'll be away on a business trip for half a month," Erick said.

"Understood." Mitchel nodded.

As the two men exchanged glances, Mitchel discerned Erick's silent request to watch over Raegan in his absence.

When Mitchel was about to leave, Erick suddenly stopped him. "Is Lauren from the Murray family of Swynborough, known for their chain hotels?" "Yes. Erick, are you acquainted with the Murrays?" "My father knows Mr. Murray," Erick replied. "You mentioned Miss Murray

saved you. Can I ask what exactly she did for you?" Instead of responding, Mitchel maintained a prolonged silence. His mind drifted to that fateful day. It seemed to be quite a coincidence since it happened on Lauren's birthday when she saved his life.

At that time, the Murray family held a birthday party for Lauren in Swynborough.

It was during the celebration when Mitchel accidentally walked into the storeroom of the villa and stumbled upon the disconcerting scene of his father having an affair with a maid.

Catching them in the dirty act had filled him with disgust.

Walking away absent-minded, Mitchel had fallen into a frozen lake. It was Lauren who spotted him under the ice and smashed through it with a

hammer to rescue him, He vividly remembered her words of encouragement in his ear, urging him not to give up and extending her hand to him.

Back then, Lauren exuded innocence, kindness, and charm. Mitchel could never have foreseen that Lauren would one day end up like this.

Even though Mitchel had granted Lauren numerous chances to redeem herself, Lauren chose again and again to inflict harm on others, ultimately harming herself.

Observing the pensive look on Mitchel's face, Erick sensed his reluctance to discuss the matter. His eyes abruptly turned cold. "Mr. Dixon, it's perfectly fine if you'd rather not delve into it. It's late now. Please head back." No, | can talk about 1t Mitchel

snapped back to reality. "When I was a child, I fell into a frozen lake. Lauren was the one who rescued me." "A frozen lake?" Erick asked, furrowing his brow. "Are you talking about the lake in the manor of the Duke of Moss?" Mitchel's gaze darkened. "How do you know about that?" "I..." Erick was about to disclose something but stopped midsentence.

He was about to set off to Swynborough. He would like to verify the details with the concerned parties first before he revealed anything to Mitchel.

"Well, I've been there before," Erick finally said. "I have to leave now." Looking at Mitchel's pale face, he added, "Take care of yourself." Mitchel smiled and said, "Thank you

With that, he strolled into the villa without waiting for Mitchel's reply.

After playing with Janey for a while, Erick took his leave.

Once Janey drifted into a slumber, Raegan indulged in a milk bath. Then, emerging from the bath, she draped herself in a towel. When she was passing a mirror, she halted yazing at her reflection, she noticed a

hickey on her slender neck In an instant, her face went as red as a ripe apple. When had Mitchel done this? She hadn't even noticed it until now! After pondering over it for a moment, Raegan concluded Mitchel must have done it in his ward.

Raegan attempted to rub the hickey away, but the more she rubbed, the redder it became. Vexed, she finally pulled her hand away.

Fortunately, her collared shirt from before had covered the hickey, concealing it from Erick's notice.

Raegan seethed with frustration. She vowed not to let Mitchel kiss her so wildly next time.

Next time... Wait. Why there was a next time? Patting her slightly flushed face, Raegan scolded herself inwardly.

What on earth was she envisioning her future with Mitchel? When Raegan slipped into a night robe, ready to go to bed, her phone rang.

It was Mitchel. Despite the late hour, he hadn't turned in for the night yet.

With a furrowed brow, Raegan answered. Mitchel's magnetic voice resonated through the phone. "Are you asleep?" "How would I answer the phone if I was asleep?" Raegan retorted in an irritable tone.

"Are you upset?" Mitchel asked.

"Well, I just found out what you did." "What?" Mitchel questioned, perplexed. "What's going on?" "You..." Raegan paused, blushing. "How can you leave a hickey on me?"

I alsc wanted to..." "Stop!" Raegan interrupted, turning redder. "Don't you have anything else to say?" "I just want to hear your voice."

had last seen each other, vet his word made it sound like an eternity had passed "Raegan..." Mitchel softly called out For some reason, he sounded particularly sincere at this moment, touching Raegan's heart.

"This is the first day of our relationship," Mitchel continued.

Raegan scoffed, trying to hide her o embarrassment. "I never said I wanted to date you!" Mitchel countered, "But I want to date you." Unable to come up with a sharp retort, Raegan finally said, "You're so cheeky!" "I have to be. How else can I win your heart?" Suppressing a smile, Raegan responded, "That's a long way to go

"1 will exercise patience and manage to win your heart. As long as no other men stick around you." Mitchel's last sentence had a dangerous edge to it Unfazed, Raegan snorted. "I can't promise that. Plus, there's nothing you can do with it." In a low voice, Mitchel challenged, “You had kissed and touched me. Now you're being this cold to me?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Anyway, you had kissed me, so you should take the responsibility," Mitchel said seriously.

"How could you be this cheeky?" Raegan was speechless. She had never taken the initiative to kiss or touch him If there's nothing else, I'll hang up As Raegan spoke, she strolled to the

window, fanning herself t Wm dowr "Your night robe is stunning," Mitch suddenly remarked "What?" "This shade of pale blue suits you perfectly," Mitchel added.

Raegan immediately looked out of the window. Beyond the villa's fence, the sleek black luxury car remained parked. "You haven't left?" "Not yet." Observing Raegan's slender silhouette on the balcony, Mitchel smiled. "I wanted to see you for a bit longer." Raegan's temperature, which had just cooled, soared again due to Mitchel's straightforward words. She felt an 111€ xpected rush ol sweene \ | you crazy? What are you I ng at? Just go back!

Grinning, Mitchel replied, "You know, the hickey complements the night robe perfectly. You're truly stunning.” Raegan's heart raced. She was about to draw the curtain.

"Don't draw the curtain," Mitchel hastily said. "Let me appreciate you a little longer." Raegan paused for a moment and decided not to draw the curtain.

"I want to hug you," Mitchel said.

Raegan's heartbeat quickened. She felt as if Mitchel was uttering these words standing before her. "Tomorrow will be hectic for me. I need to go to bed early.

You'd better go back to the hospital soon. No fooling around." ‘Since you're so concerned about my well-being, I'll listen to you." | Raegan was on the brink of a

retort but refrained, fearing that Mitchel would just take it as an opportunity to continue his flirtatious banter. Besides, he hadn't recovered yet, and she didn't want his condition to worsen by lingering here at this late hour.

"Anyway, it's time for you to leave.

Good night," Raegan said.

"Good night..." Even as Mitchel bid her good night, his gaze lingered on her silhouette. It wasn't until the curtain was drawn that he finally shifted his attention.

"Let's head back," he told the driver.

Meanwhile, in the hospital ward Mitchel enlarged the photo, finding solace in seeing Raegan's reflection on the glass in front of her. Knowing that she was gradually getting used to his presence, he felt warmth envelop his heart.

After a while, the door swung open hastily Holding a report, Matt nt | Mitche ward. "Mr, Dix { NA Le L re 11 101 that 4! £ i ILS

The room plunged into an eerie silence.

Growing increasingly restless, Mitchel suddenly yanked the needle from the back of his hand, causing blood to spurt out.

Not minding the blood at all, he snatched his coat and marched out of the ward.
