“Are you suggesting that Lauren would risk her own life just to convince me to let
her stay?”
Mitchel’s defense left Raegan momentarily speechless.
But he was not done yet, and he continued, “Sure, Lauren has made mistakes.
But risking her life in a scheme under the disguise of kidnapping is far-fetched.”
Raegan tried to reason with him again.
“Mitchel, your judgment is clouded right now. Think about what I've said.”
“I said enough!” Mitchel raised his voice and emphasized each word, “Raegan,
stop being so cynical. It's bad for the baby.”
Mitchel’'s accusation cut Raegan deep. So, in his eyes, she was some sort of
villain who was eager to get rid of Lauren.
Well, if he already thought she was wicked, maybe it was time she learned from
Lauren and played the villain for real.
“Listen, Mitchel, I'm telling you, you're not going to save Lauren all by yourself,”
Raegan firmly said, giving no room for a discussion.
But her plea merely fell on Mitchel's deaf ear, and he coldly responded, “Get out
of the car. I'll have Matteo come pick you up.”
His dismissive tone felt like a punch to her gut, and a sharp pain radiated from
her abdomen.
Raegan clutched her abdomen and cried, “Mitchel, my stomach...”
Before she could complete her sentence, Mitchel had already lifted her from the
seat, leaving her suspended in mid-air for a moment.
Feeling him hold her eased the pain a little, but her heart was still heavy.

“My stomach hurts,” she uttered in a quivering voice.
And then, as if dropping a bag of groceries, he set her down on the cold,
unforgiving asphalt.
“Raegan, quit with the childish games. I have to go.”
With that, he climbed back into the car and sped off.
Raegan crouched on the road and watched in disbelief as the car disappeared
into the distance.
So he thought she was just putting on some sort of childish act?
In that instant, it felt like her heart had turned to stone, and she became numb to
the world around her.
Well, she had it coming, didn't she? How could she be so naive?
How could she fall into the trap again after some sweet talk?
The pain in her abdomen intensified until it became unbearable, and a cold sweat
broke out on her forehead.
