«Luis, I need to know the real state of your leg. “Can you be honest with me?” she asked, her lips pursed in worry. "I could find out for myself if I really wanted to, but I prefer that you give me as objective an assessment as possible."

Luis sighed deeply and confessed, “Raegan, I'll be honest. He hasn't really rested a single day in the last two months. They recommend a two-month recovery, but their condition is worse than what some patients achieve in just one week. He suffers from severe insomnia, barely sleeps at night and only rests for three to four hours during the day. The rest of the time, he works. Think about it, how is it possible that his recovery is going well?

“His tendon recovery is insufficient…” Luis continued with a bunch of medical jargon that Raegan couldn't quite understand.

In essence, if Mitchel refused to return to Ardlens for surgery and insisted on staying in Aurora, the prognosis was not good.

As for how serious the situation could be, Luis was vague. He used many technical terms, but avoided the most critical issues.

“What does ‘not very good’ mean?” Raegan pressed. "How bad is it, really?"

Luis cleared his throat before quietly responding, "In cases like this, amputation has sometimes been considered..."

Raegan was silent, her mind blank for a minute.

For a moment he wondered if Luis was exaggerating the situation. How could it lead to amputation?

The thought that Mitchel, once so admired, could face such a drastic measure was overwhelming. What would become of him if it came to that? The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Raegan.

Although she found it hard to believe, Mitchel's unnaturally pale complexion made Raegan consider that Luis might not be exaggerating after all. Mitchel had been unconscious in the hospital for several days. If his recovery remained poor, amputation seemed a frightening but real possibility.

Raegan's fingers clenched tightly, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I'll convince him to come back."

Luis let out a deep sigh. «It's going to be difficult. You two really…”

Luis sighed again and his words remained silent.

Matters of the heart were indeed too complicated. Nobody was to blame. Fate was cruel, it united and separated...

After ending the call, Raegan remained silent for a long moment, deep in thought.

Stefan looked at her pale face, the shadows of her eyelashes casting a melancholy look. Unable to bear seeing her so distressed, he urged her to rest. “Raegan, listen to me, you need to rest for the baby.”

“Stefan…” Raegan spoke suddenly, her voice determined. "I have to bring him in for treatment."

He looked at Stefan, his decision clear in his eyes. "You have to help me."

Stefan felt a wave of relief mixed with resignation.

He had debated whether to tell Raegan that Mitchel had been following them this afternoon. A part of him hadn't wanted to reveal it, realizing that he wasn't ready to let go of the person he loved.

Declaring that he would support her decision, even if it meant blessing her reunion with Mitchel, was contrary to her own wishes.

His voice raspy with emotion, Stefan replied, “Raegan, it's good that you made your decision. "I will support you with whatever you need."
