Chapter 381 Janey Is Indeed His Daughter Luis asked for the nanny's permission and took a photo with Janey.
Staring at Janey's photo, the shock was written all over Mitchel's face as he asked, "Does she look like me?" Luis zoomed in on Janey's face, pointed at her delicate facial features, and explained, "Look at her nose, mouth, and face shape. Don't they match the arrogant look you had when you were a child? Ask your mother, and you will know. But her eyes... They are quite similar to..." Luis' voice trailed off, and his mind went blank for a moment. He racked his brain to recall where he had seen those eyes. The resemblance was striking.
"Raegan! Yes, her eyes are similar to Raegan's." Now that Luis remembered it, he teased, "This could be a child you have left..." Before Luis could finish his words, a shadow flashed by in front of him.
Luis turned around to check, only to find that Mitchel had already disappeared.
Luis looked at Matteo in bewilderment.
"Hey, have you guys ever checked his brain?" "Mr. Stevens, there's nothing wrong with Mr. Dixon's brain," Matteo replied, suppressing his laughter. "But you've just uncovered something incredible." After so long, a piece of joyful news had finally emerged.
The expression on Luis' face drastically changed. "Could it be that..."
Then, he also rushed out.
At this moment, Stefan was still in Raegan's ward. He intended to wait for some test results before he left.
Stefan sat by the bed and peeled an apple. Noticing Raegan was in a daze, he asked, "Now that you have regained your memory, what do you plan to do?" Raegan shook her head. "I haven't thought about it yet." Her top priority now was to find out who had harmed her back then. She wanted to ensure no harm would come her and Janey's way.
Stefan asked again, "Then, will you consider remarrying Mitchel?" After all, Mitchel and Raegan seemed to have been getting along well recently. Plus, Mitchel had been a great
help this time. Even Erick had approved of Mitchel chasing after Raegan. This was unusual. It only meant that Mitchel had a knack for negotiation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRaegan frowned, recalling her feelings toward Mitchel before she regained her memory. She was easily charmed by Mitchel's sweet nothings, making her heart flutter uncontrollably. His thoughtfulness lifted her mood.
However, now that she had regained memory, she was downhearted by his previous distrust and his repeated absence every time she needed him the most.
Although Mitchel had been trying to make amends now, the damage had already been done. Could making amends erase the pain? Noticing Raegan's frowning and loss of thought, Stefan felt his question
overstepped. So, he coughed lightly and said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you about this." It was only then that Raegan snapped back to reality. "It's okay." At this moment, Janey ran in with sweat on her forehead, saying, "Mommy, I'm thirsty." Annis came in with a baby water bottle, wanting to give Janey the water.
Stefan took it from Annis, smiled warmly, and said, "Janey, can I feed you the water?" Janey remembered Raegan was still sick, so she nodded obediently.
Stefan picked Janey up and let her sit on his lap. Then, he gave her the water.
While Janey was drinking, some water spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Raegan took a tissue, bent down, and
gently wiped it off for Janey.
Because of this, the three of them became much closer together.
When Stefan saw that Janey was done drinking water, he told her a joke, making her laugh non-stop.
Janey's laughter was so contagious that Raegan was influenced by it. She momentarily set aside her worries, and her face lightened up when she smiled.
Janey laughed so hard in Stefan's arms that she almost slipped off.
Raegan instinctively reached out to catch Janey, but she swayed.
Fortunately, Stefan was alert. He did not only hold Janey securely but also steadied the wobbling Raegan.
Thinking it was a game, Janey clapped her hands and asked them to do it again.
Raegan said worriedly, "Let's not do it again, okay? It's a bit dangerous." Stefan chimed in with a smile, "Cutie Janey, listen to your mom, okay? Let's play something safe." Janey held Raegan's and Stefan's hands together and said with a smile, "Then let's play pat-a-cake, okay?" Stefan's broad palm covered the back of Raegan's hand, dry and warm.
However, Raegan felt a sense of repulsion. She had the urge to withdraw her hand. This subconscious repulsion made her froze. Why was she repulsive? Why did she repel other men's touch? But when Raegan was with Mitchel, she had never felt this way despite her resistance to his hugs and kisses. She was baffled.
Mitchel ran all the way to Raegan's
ward, only to be met with this scene, Stefan held Janey in his arms while holding Raegan's hand. They looked like a warm and happy family of three.
They looked like a real family while he was an intruder who didn't fit in.
Mitchel looked at Janey's bright smile and almost confirmed what Luis had said. Janey was indeed his daughter.
Erick's slyness, coupled with Raegan's memory loss, prevented Mitchel from realizing sooner that Janey was his daughter.
It was only now that he realized the clues were too obvious. Janey was more mature than other three-year-old children. Besides, Raegan had just been acknowledged by the Foster family. How could the Foster family find a man for Raegan to marry in just six months? All of these were to hide Janey's paternity from the public.
Had it not been for Luis' words of enlightenment, Mitchel would have remained in the dark.
Sensing visitors, Raegan inadvertently glanced over and her smile froze at the sight of Mitchel.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMitchel stood tall and imposing at the door, with his head almost touching the doorframe. His darkened face radiated an unmistakable aura of dominance.
Raegan noted complex feelings in Mitchel's eyes. It seemed to be a deep and heart-wrenching pain.
Stefan, noticing Raegan's reaction, followed her gaze. Upon laying eyes on Mitchel, he held Raegan's hand even tighter.
Raegan was startled. She subconsciously wanted to pull away from Stefan's grip. But when she
realized it, she was frightened by this idea. Why didn't she want Mitchel to see another man holding her hands? They didn't have any relationship anymore, right? Mitchel walked into Raegan's ward. His handsome face was expressionless yet somehow emitting a chilling blade-like coldness. As soon as he stood in front of them, he looked at Stefan and ordered coldly, "Get out." But Stefan was unfazed by Mitchel's icy demeanor. He wanted to say something but Raegan stopped him.
Raegan took a step forward, looked at Mitchel, and said coldly, "Mitchel, you are the one who should leave." Her words were so harsh that Mitchel felt they were tearing him apart. He was about to lose his temper.
Fortunately, he was able to restrain himself.

Mitchel took Janey from Stefan's arms and held her tightly. As he looked at her small face, his eyes turned red.
"Janey..." His voice was a bit hoarse.
This emotionally charged call startled Raegan.
Stefan, caught off guard momentarily, allowed Mitchel to take Janey. He quickly attempted to take her back, saying, "Mr. Dixon, please give Janey back to me." Mitchel, having been containing his anger in front of Janey, his gaze ice- cold as he retorted, "Who do you think you are to order me to return her to you?" The more Raegan listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Her heart started to race wildly. She reached out to pull Janey away and said sternly, "Mitchel, what are you doing? Let go of my daughter!"
Mitchel looked cold and restrained. He stared at Raegan for a while and asked coldly, "Are you sure she is just your daughter?"
