Chapter 562

Raegan blinked in confusion. "That?"

With a sly smile, Mitchel leaned closer, his tone teasing. «If you really feel like it, we can find somewhere private once we are home. "I'm sure I'll let you enjoy it to the fullest."

Only then did Raegan realize what he meant. With his cheeks flushed with shame, he replied: “Who cares about that? "You are the one who is."

“Yes, I am,” Mitchel admitted nonchalantly. "But the rescue team will arrive any moment."

The guards arranged by Mitchel had seen them before they fell. The sound of a helicopter buzzed in the distance, Likely heading towards them.

Mitchel gently pinched Raegan's cheek, his voice low and hoarse. "I won't let others see my wife."

Raegan's face flushed. I was tired of dealing with him.

Mitchel saw her frustrated look and felt a wave of tenderness wash over him. He understood Raegan's concern.

Every time he breathed he felt a sharp pain in his back, a harsh reminder of his injury. He didn't want Raegan to worry, so he endured the pain in silence.

I had to hold on until the helicopter arrived. Here, in the desert, I felt constant discomfort.

In an attempt to lighten the mood, Mitchel joked, "You know, a kiss from you could be the cure I need."

Raegan's cheeks turned even redder, annoyed. "Enough of the jokes."

"I'm serious," Mitchel replied.

He leaned toward her and gently caressed her cheek with his hand, smiling. "Ready to try it, my little miracle cure?"

Raegan's ears turned red and she pursed her lips, visibly struggling.

Just then, the sound of a helicopter engine filled the air above them.

Mitchel let go of her and murmured, "You owe me."

Shortly after, they boarded the helicopter together.

Mitchel wrapped a blanket around Raegan and then sat up, remaining still and upright.

Raegan, who had seen him joking before, thought that perhaps the rock had not hit him so seriously.

However, even before landing, Mitchel began to show signs of distress. He began to break out in a cold sweat, his breathing rapid and his face pale.

Arriving at the city hospital, a local doctor quickly opened Mitchel's shirt, revealing an image that shocked Raegan.

Mitchel's back was covered in bruises, making it difficult to distinguish the original appearance of his skin.

The area around the shoulder blade was especially bad, with large black and purple spots that looked like they were rotting.
