GoodReadIs She Dead Mitchel’s soft voice seemed to rub salt onto Raegan's wound.
Despite not having the strength to get nd of him, she managed to hiss through gritted teeth, "Let go of me!” The undisguised
disgust in her eyes pained Mitchel, but he comphed and let her go.
Then, Raegan spun around and trudged away, each step seeming to sap her strength.
Suddenly, a loud thud echoed in the air.
Raegan crumpled to the ground, limp and unresponsive.
Mitchel’s face went ashen.
For a brief moment, he feared he had lost her forever.
“Raegan!" He scooped her up in his arms and shouted, “Get the car! We need to get to the hospital now!" The crowd was left
dumbfounded by this shocking turn of events.
At the hospital, Raegan lay unconscious.
In her dream, she saw Mitchel and Lauren holding hands and sharing an intimate moment.
She had swallowed her pride and pleaded with Mitchel to come back to her for her grandmother's sake.
Sadly, all she got from him was a cold sneer.
“| love Lauren more than anyone else in the world.
Don't flatter yourself.” Each word felt like a sledgehammer to her heart.
The pain was so intense, and it felt like she could not draw another breath.
A line of sweat beaded on Raegan's forehead.
A few moments later, she was finally pulled from the depths of her nightmare.
“Raegan?” a man called out in a deep voice.
Raegan’s mind started to clear, and the strong smell of disinfectant filled her senses.
"Raegan, are you alright? How are you feeling?” Mitchel held her hand tghtly.
His eyes were red- rimmed and weary, as though he had been watching over her for a long time.
“Why are you here?” Raegan jerked her hand away.
“Leave.
] never want to see you again!” “Raegan, calm down..." The weariness in Mitchel’s eyes vanished for a split second, replaced by
a fleeting look of tenderness as his gaze settled on Raegan's abdomen.
"Do you know you're pregnant?” When the doctor told him Raegan was pregnant, Mitchel was on cloud nine.
He felt as though he had been given a second chance at life.
He didn't want Raegan to get pregnant due to her condition, but he never imagined it would happen so suddenly.
With a baby on the way, he was pretty sure Raegan would not ask him for a divorce anymore.
Mitchel’s hand moved to feel her lower abdomen through the quilt.
But Raegan was having none of it.
She pushed his hand away without a second thought.
Mitchel frowned and asked in a cold tone, "You already knew it?" Raegan pursed her lips and said nothing.
He stared into her eyes and probed, "Why didn't you tell me?" A scornful glint crossed Raegan's eyes.
Had she told him, he would probably have pressured her to get an abortion.
So, why bother? Besides, he had never wanted a child with her.
What he wanted was only a child with Lauren.
“I can manage it myself,” Raegan answered warily.
“Oh really? You’re managing?” Mitchel cast a glance at the IV drip and fired back, "Is this how you're taking care of yourself and
our baby?” The doctor had told Mitchel that Raegan had severe anemia, and her condition was weak.
Hearing that news was like a gut punch.
He felt caught off guard and deeply unsettled.
It seemed that she was not taking the pregnancy seriously at all.
Seeing that she stubbornly sealed her lips tight, Mitchel shifted gears.
He took a moment and, in the most comforting way he could muster, assured her, "] promise it won't happen again.” Raegan’s
eyes widened in disbelief.
Mitchel vowed not to let it happen again.
What exactly would he not allow to happen for the second time around? Was he saying he would never leave her again? For
Raegan, it was all the same, whether he left her once or a dozen times.
Whenever Lauren came into the picture, Mitchel never stood by her side.
Not even once! Noticing her continued silence, Mitchel appeared relieved and offered an explanation, "I get it.
You're mad at me for missing your grandma's final moments.
But Lauren was in a critical condition.
She had to stay in the ICU for two days...” "Interesting!" Raegan laughed cynically.
Two days in the ICU, and Lauren still had the energy to pull Tessa’s strings from her hospital bed? Lauren was really something!
“Is she dead?” Raegan snapped.
This question stunned Mitchel.
He remembered Raegan as someone so gentle and would not even hurt a fly.
How could she say something so vicious? Seeing the shock on Mitchel’s face, Raegan let out a snort and continued, "Let's cut to
the chase.
She's sull breathing, right? Since she's alive, how can you promise you won't do it again? What if she pulls another stunt? Will
you ditch her for me?" “It's not like that, Raegan.
1..." "Don't bother! I already know you won't! Your word means nothing, Mitchel! Listen to me.
This is my child, and I'll bring it into the world without you.
You don't have to worry about it.
We've already signed the divorce papers.
I promised Luciana we'd wait until the end of the month to finalize things.
Mitchel had once said he did not want kids with her.
But now he was acting like Father of the Year? What a hypocrite.
The second time he chose Lauren over her, he slammed the door shut on their marriage.
Raegan had made up her mind and decided to step aside to make room for the oh-so-happy couple.
Without her, Mitchel and Lauren could now dance off into the sunset.
After a moment, Mitchel pursed his lips and softly yet resolutely said, "Il won't accept the divorce.” “What do you mean you can't
accept that? What makes you think you have a say?" Raegan scoffed.
“You broke my heart, Mitchel." When the phone call ended, it put a stop to any further discussions.
Raegan was done with him.
This time around, Mitchel could sweet-talk all he wanted, but she would not fall for his words again.
Raegan was done being a fool.
She was drained and done with carrying the weight of their broken relationship.
At her words, Mitchel felt a searing pain, like a blade twisting in his heart.
He was aware she had made her choice, but he could not bring himself to let her go.
He could not imagine the future without her.
‘The mere thought made his heart ache.
Mitchel reached out to wrap her in his embrace.
But the instant his hand reached out, Raegan recoiled and turned her face in disgust.
Mitchel gripped her shoulders earnestly and said, “Raegan, | promise to make it up to you and set things right.
I won't leave you hanging when you need me most.
Can we please make up and get back to a good place?" “And how do you plan on doing so?" Raegan asked mockingly.
A glimmer of hope flickered in Mitchel's eyes, and he promised, "I'll do whatever it takes.” How ridiculous.
Raegan felt an urge to laugh.
If it were in the past, she might have fallen for it.
But if Mitchel truly cared, he would not have ghosted her for three days following her grandmother's death.
At the end of the day, Lauren was the woman he had in his heart.
And what Tessa had said in the nursing house hinted that Lauren was the mastermind behind the spectacle.
Raegan trusted her gut.
Lauren was using Tessa as the hitman to gun for her and her unborn child.
Nobody could deal with her opponent in a friendly manner, who did not even have to lay a finger to destroy her.
Furthermore, this damning Lauren even wanted to harm her baby.
If Hector had not stepped in, Raegan would have lost her child.
Her baby and her grandmother were her bottom line, and Lauren had bulldozed right through it..
There was no way she could forgive Lauren.
Raegan was not about to give Lauren another chance to hurt her baby.
At the thought of this, she looked at Mitchel and scoffed.
“You know, I have a sneaking suspicion that Lauren had a hand in the chaos in my grandmother's ward.
Will you get Justice for me?” "That's impossible,” Mitchel denied at once.
"How could Lauren have anything to do with that?" Hearing his reply, Raegan fixed him with a sardonic smile.
