Mitchel thought that if he kept a distance from Raegan, she might gradually give
up the idea of divorcing him.
But that night, something unexpected happened.
At two in the morning, while Mitchel was still keeping himself busy with work, the
nurse from the hospital called him.
“Mr. Dixon, Miss Hayes is missing.”
After hanging up the phone, Mitchel rushed to the hospital with Matteo. And the
first thing Matteo did when they arrived was check the surveillance video.
They saw in the video that Raegan came out of her ward at half past one in the
morning when the nurse was taking a nap.
Wearing a white dress, Raegan entered the elevator barefoot. But the
surveillance camera showed she didn’t leave the hospital.
The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor.
Matteo suddenly said with a solemn expression, “Mr. Dixon, it’s the top floor.”
Mitchel’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this. He strode out of the monitoring room
without saying anything.
It was a cold, dark night. On the top floor, Raegan sat on a concrete pier.
Her seaweed hair hung loosely on her shoulders, and her white dress swayed in
the wind, making her look even thinner. She looked as fragile as a crystal that
could break at any moment.
When Mitchel saw this scene, his face turned pale. Panic immediately surged in
his heart.
“Raegan...” he called out cautiously. It was as if he was afraid his voice would
break her.
Raegan didn’t move. It seemed she didn’t hear anything. She raised her head
and stared at the dark night sky.
“What are you looking at?” Mitchel asked in a low voice, staring at her and
approaching her slowly.
Raegan didn’t seem to notice what he was doing. But she answered, “My
baby...”
Mitchel stopped in his tracks. Then, he saw Raegan raise her arm, point at the
sky, and say, “My baby just came to say goodbye to me and went there.”
Suddenly, Mitchel felt like a giant hammer fell from the sky and hit his heart hard.
The color drained from his face when he heard this. His hands unconsciously
trembled.
After a long time, he finally said with difficulty, “Can you get down first?”
Still, Raegan didn’t move. She asked slightly, “Mitchel, can you let me go?”
Mitchel’s palms were sweating profusely. He was so nervous now. He said in a
forbearing tone, “Let's talk about it after you go down, okay?”
When Raegan looked at his face, she knew she was halfway to success.
