Luciana and Raegan went to a cafe near the hospital.

Luciana was still a little pale. It was clearly not in good condition yet.

He sat down, looked at Raegan with a slight smile and said: -Raegan, thank you for taking care of Mitchel these days. You are of great help. "The doctor told me that Mitchel is recovering very well."

«Don't even mention it. "It's the least I can do," Raegan responded.

This time, Luciana noticed the thermos that Raegan placed on the table.

He asked, "Is it for Mitchel?"

Raegan nodded without saying a word.

Suddenly, Luciana put her hand on the table and said with mixed feelings, “Raegan, I see that you have tried so hard to take care of Mitchel.”

Raegan removed her hand and smiled weakly.

«Luciana, if you have something to say, say it.»

Luciana smiled. Then he sighed.

“Raegan, I heard that when you got divorced you didn't take a dime. It's true?"

"Yes it's true. “I will not accept anything that is not mine,” Raegan responded bluntly.

Luciana hesitated for a moment. Then, she pulled a check out of her purse and held it out to Raegan.

«Raegan, I like you a lot. You are a good woman. I really appreciate all your help. But things have already reached this point. Here, this is my compensation to you. You have to accept it no matter what. AND…"

Luciana's main point was in the last part of her speech.

«Since you and Mitchel are already divorced, I think you should go your separate ways. It is better that they stop contacting each other. Is that okay with you?

Raegan looked down at the check on the table. It turned out that Luciana wanted to give him thirty million dollars. It was enough.

Raegan smiled and said, “Luciana, I plan to wait until he is fully recovered before I talk to him about this. "I want everything to be clear to you."

Luciana was speechless for a moment, realizing how reasonable Raegan was.

Luciana liked Raegan. For her, Raegan and Mitchel made a good couple.

But Mitchel's life was more important to her. Now that Mitchel was barely escaping her life because of Raegan, she felt the need to interfere.

When he left the hospital that day, Alexis' words stuck in his mind. He could never forget them, and that was what worried him most.

Sooner or later, your son will die because of that woman.

These words from Alexis were like thorns that pricked his heart. And they gave him nightmares for many nights.

Of course, no one wanted to be the bad guy who interfered, especially Luciana.

So Luciana wanted Raegan to understand the situation.

«Raegan, Mitchel has a heavy burden on his shoulders. You can't let your emotions cloud your judgment. I hope you understand."

«Luciana, don't worry. Rest assured, I won't get him into trouble again. I'll stay away from him. But this check is not necessary. "I didn't ask for anything before and I won't ask for it now."

After saying this, Raegan took out a box from her bag and handed it to Luciana.

"And... I want to return this bracelet to you."

Luciana looked a little sad when she saw the box. He said, “Raegan, I gave it to you, so I don't have to give it back to you. Keep it.

Take it as a memory of me.

But Raegan shook her head.

«Luciana, this bracelet is too valuable. "It's not appropriate for me to keep it."

Raegan then stood up, pushed the thermos towards Luciana and said, “Please bring this to her. "I won't go in again."

Luciana didn't stop Raegan from leaving. He looked at Raegan's back with a heavy expression and heaved a deep sigh.

After Raegan disappeared from sight, Luciana stood up and thought for a moment. In the end, he threw the thermos in the trash can.

Since he wanted Raegan and Mitchel to cut ties, he had to do it cleanly.

In his living room, Mitchel had just finished a video conference.

He picked up his phone and checked it.

He hadn't seen Raegan in only half a day, but he already missed her terribly.

Whenever he was idle, he could only think about Raegan.

Her beautiful face… Her coquetry… Her charm…

Mitchel felt like he had gone crazy. I was at the point where I couldn't stand not seeing her for even a second.

At that moment, his phone vibrated.

Mitchel grabbed it quickly, hoping it was Raegan. But when he looked at the screen, he saw that it was Matteo.

Matteo was calling to talk about his early morning preparations.

In fact, the doctor had advised Mitchel to rest for a few more days.

But he had too much work and couldn't stay in the room all the time.

He had been thinking about discharge for a long time, but he feared that if he left the hospital, he would have no excuse for Raegan to come visit him. So he decided to stay one more day.

He opened the drawer and took out a box of rings. When he opened it and saw the ring inside, he froze.

It was the one Raegan had used to hit him earlier. Matteo kept it and returned it to him.

He decided to tell Raegan the story of this ring when she came over tonight.

Mitchel raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already half past eight. It wasn't safe for Raegan to be on the road this late.

He called her, he wanted to ask her where she was.

But she didn't answer.

His eyebrows furrowed. He was about to knock again when the door to the room was pushed open from outside.

Luciana entered with a delicately packaged box of food in her hand.

"Mitchel, I brought you dinner from your favorite restaurant."

Mitchel had no appetite, so he responded nonchalantly, “Leave it there.”

«Come on, first you have to eat. You need to nourish your body. How are you going to recover if you don't eat well?

As he spoke, Luciana filled the bowl with soup and handed it to him.

Mitchel frowned even more. Then, his eyes caught a glimpse of the bracelet on Luciana's wrist. He picked it up and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he looked at it.

"Mom, why did you wear this bracelet?"

Luciana was surprised for a moment. She looked at her wrist and said, “Raegan gave it back to me today. I didn't want to give it back to her, but she insisted. "He said he couldn't take this bracelet because you were divorced."

Mitchel's face immediately darkened.

Luciana gently put down the bowl and said, “I see Raegan has moved on. He's doing very well. You should move on too. You still have to bear the burden of the Dixon Group. The market now is different than before. You can no longer master it alone. So, the next time you are looking for a wife, background will be the first factor. As long as she is a decent woman..."

Luciana totally agreed with the marriage of convenience. Emotions were not necessary. A couple only needed to have one child to solidify the ties of both families.

Every time he thought about Mitchel lying in the ICU that day, his heart ached, accompanied by dizziness and tinnitus.

For a mother like her, nothing mattered but the life of her son.

She was even willing to be the bad guy by interfering for Mitchel's sake.

Mitchel remained silent, so Luciana continued, “The daughter of the Benton family is actually very suitable for you. It's a shame you don't like it. But, anyway, there is no reason to rush. We can take our time to find you a better wife.”

Mitchel didn't seem to hear a single word Luciana said. He was carefully remembering every detail of Raegan's departure today. He didn't notice anything unusual. How could he suddenly become like this?

He once convinced himself that his lack of response was due to his busy work schedule. She would come to bring him dinner tonight.

However, upon hearing Luciana's words, he discovered that she was even more cruel than he imagined.

As Luciana continued talking, Mitchel suddenly got up from the bed.

He moved so abruptly that he coughed several times.

Luciana was scared. He immediately approached to help him. She couldn't help but scold him: "Mitchel, what are you doing?"

But before I could touch him, Mitchel had already put on his coat and left the room.

Luciana sat helplessly. He no longer ran after Mitchel.

Instead, he pulled out his phone and texted Raegan.

After reading Luciana's message, Raegan stared at the phone screen for a long moment.

Finally, he responded, "I understand."

Luciana told her that Mitchel had left the hospital and was on his way to find her. Luciana begged him to make her desist.

Raegan couldn't describe what she felt at that moment.

When Luciana protected her, she was really touched because she had lost her mother when she was a child. I had never experienced that kind of mothering.

Luciana's protection made her realize how good it was to be loved and cared for by a mother.

Raegan knew that Luciana truly loved her. Luciana really loved her. But when it came to Mitchel's safety, Luciana could abandon her. After all, Mitchel was Luciana's son, her blood and flesh.

He didn't blame Luciana. In fact, he envied Mitchel for having such a good mother who loved him with all her heart.

Unlike her, who was alone in this world. He had no one by his side.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

The door opened, and Mitchel's tall figure was standing at the door.

Their gazes met, but neither of them spoke.

After a while, Mitchel broke the silence. He said in a hoarse voice, "You haven't come to see me, so I have come to see you."

The way he said it, he seemed to be glossing over the situation.

He pretended not to know that Raegan had returned the bracelet to Luciana.

It was as if everything was continuing from where they had left off the night before.

Secretly, Raegan clenched her fists tightly. Then he said coldly, “Mitchel…”

"Let's get married again," Mitchel interrupted her, without letting her speak.
