Mitchel, his hair soaked, pushed it back, looking surprisingly handsome with the drops cascading down. He brought her to the shore and said in a low voice: "I'm here."

Raegan was momentarily stunned and wrapped her arms around him, bursting into tears. «You... you had scared me!»

She sobbed and choked, filled with fear. Mitchel was amazing. He fell to the ground with her.

She gently slapped his shoulders, her anger mixed with relief.

"You're crazy, really crazy..."

After expressing his frustration, he managed a grateful smile.

"Thank goodness you're fine..."

Seeing her cry and then laugh, Mitchel couldn't help but smile. He then wrapped his arms around her in a firm hug. «I'm not losing my mind. "I would lose my mind without you."

Raegan felt confusion stir within her. It felt like a crack had opened.

Mitchel hugged Raegan tightly, his eyes full of intensity.

Raegan felt herself tremble. He blinked, not knowing what to think at first. It took him a moment to understand. I was scared.

Mitchel's voice was rough. "Raegan, promise me you'll never leave me."

“I…” Raegan was still stunned.

Mitchel released her abruptly, his gaze dark and chilling. "Promise me!" His tone was authoritative, with a hint of anger. His frustration was evident. Now that the danger had passed, it was time to address the issue.

Raegan understood what had scared him and softened her tone, saying, "I promise."

However, his stern look did not change, his irritation did not calm down.

He pinched her cheek, his gaze cold and penetrating. "When you risked your life to save the child, did you even consider...?"

Mitchel wanted to ask Raegan if she had thought about him.

Hesitantly, he rephrased his question. “Did you think about Janey?”

Mitchel's pinch stung. However, Raegan didn't flinch, letting him vent his frustration. «Yes, I thought about it. My actions were not intended to be reckless. "It was an error in judgment."

If I had acted faster, I could have climbed the tree with Misael.

Thinking of Misael, he asked: "And the child?"

Mitchel's patience broke when he realized that she was still worried about the others. He replied coldly, "He's gone!"

After saying this, he loosened his grip and turned to walk deeper into the dense forest. It seemed like he didn't want to see her.
