“You handed it to him directly?” Raegan pressed.
Matteo hesitated, then recalled that when he sent the documents to Mitchel's
office, Mitchel was in a meeting, but it only took him about ten minutes to finish
the meeting.
He shared this with Raegan.
“So, there was a ten-minute gap. Go back and see if anyone entered his office
during that time,” Raegan urged.

She suspected a setup, and only Lauren came to mind as a likely saboteur.
She couldn't risk involving her child in Mitchel's unpredictable moods.
He wouldn't bring himself to allow her to have a child that he assumed wasn't his,
no matter how generous he pretended to be.
Even if they divorced, she needed to clear her unborn child’s name.
In the afternoon, Luis paid her a visit.
Right after he stepped inside, Luis expressed his concern, saying, “’Raegan, are
you feeling better?”
Raegan held no animosity toward Luis and nodded in acknowledgment.
Observing her frail look, Luis paused before advising, “Mitchel is unstable right
now. Don’t confront him directly. It's wiser to be subtle to minimize your pain.”
Raegan remained silent. Just as Luis was heading out, she asked in a hoarse
voice, “Luis, could you help me with something?”
She requested a retest, this time using her IV blood and a strand of Mitchel's hair
that had been collected this morning.
Luis hadn't seen this coming. No wonder when the topic of the baby had come
up, Mitchel’s face had darkened. He understood now.
Mitchel’s keeping this to himself was understandable.
What man would readily admit to his closest friend that his wife was carrying
another man’s child?
However, since Raegan had openly sought his help, Luis was inclined to believe
the child was actually Mitchel’s.
Luis gave a nod, affirming, “You'll have the result in twenty-four hours.”
After Luis exited, Raegan attempted to relax, her eyes closed but sleep eluded
her.
She kept mulling over Mitchel's harsh words. He said he had stayed in their
marriage only for physical intimacy and had declared she wasn’t even worthy of
being compared to Lauren.
The idea of her surpassing Lauren in Mitchel's heart now seemed laughable to
her.
Mitchel’s feelings for Lauren ran deep. Eliminating Lauren from his life would only
be possible if Mitchel himself was gone.
Therefore, Raegan resolved never to overestimate herself again. She must get a
divorce, even if it meant pleading with Mitchel’s grandfather. Divorce was the only
path left.
