Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Hoping to lighten Raegan’s mood, Nicole told her some jokes.

To her surprise, Raegan smiled upon hearing her lame jokes.

Nicole sensed something amiss. Raegan’s demeanor was unsettlingly odd.

It was clear to Nicole that Raegan was upset, yet Raegan remained composed,
avoiding any discussion about the loss of the baby.

Confused, Nicole hesitated before saying, “Mitchel...”

Raegan swiftly turned her face away, refusing to listen.

Only then did Nicole breathe a sigh of relief. Raegan’s emotional response
indicated that her mental state was intact.

After lingering in the room for some time, a nurse arrived to remind Nicole that
Raegan needed more rest.

With no other option, Nicole informed Raegan she'd return the next day.

Once the door was closed, Raegan’s soft facade melted away, and she let out a
muted sob. Clutching the blanket, her tears flowed uncontrollably.

Consumed by despair, her voice sounded especially grating.

Was this divine retribution? A penalty for her audacity to covet a joy that was
never hers?

She loathed her own greed for Mitchel’s Love.

Had she left sooner, perhaps her unborn baby would've been spared.

But it was too late.

At this moment, a delicate, pale hand hovered over Raegan’s ward's doorknob.
Mitchel’s fingers quivered.

The anguished cries from inside the ward were like daggers to his heart, robbing
him of the courage to enter.

Mitchel turned away, his back against the wall, struggling for breath.

Much later, when he finally mustered the courage to enter, Raegan was feigning
asleep, tended to by a nurse.

Mitchel gestured for the nurse to leave, his eyes fixed on Raegan’s profile.
Raegan’s cheekbones were more pronounced, her frame fragile under the
covers.

Mitchel extended a hand to touch her hair, but Raegan stirred and avoided his
touch.

She had been awake, unable to drift into slumber.
