Chapter 653

Luciana hurried after Mitchel, trying once again to convince him: “Mitchel…”

Mitchel stopped dead.

Luciana pleaded, “Mitchel, can't you be a little more understanding? I'm not getting any younger and I really want a grandchild. Katie is great in every way and seems to be quite supportive of your career. Haven't you noticed that the company is doing better these last two years? You…"

"Mother!" Mitchel cut her off. "That boy has nothing to do with me."

Luciana was stunned. There seemed to be no reason for Mitchel to lie, especially since the paternity test used samples she collected. She did the test herself with Katie. It seemed impossible that it was wrong.

«Mitchel, don't be too quick to dismiss this. If it turns out that you are wrong, you will regret it…” Luciana declared.

"I am absolutely sure that I am not wrong." Mitchel looked at Luciana firmly, insisting: "Katie is not what you think."

Luciana accused: "You are only prejudiced against Katie."

Mitchel handed Luciana the medicine box. "Did Katie give it to you?"

Luciana hesitated, denying guiltily: “No, it's something I've been taking for my health.”

Mitchel did not press Luciana further, but clarified: «It is a medication for category A psychiatric conditions. It helps them. "It helps them, but for someone healthy it can cause confusion, hallucinations and delusions."

Luciana was startled. «No, how can it be…».

"Go ahead and take the test yourself if you don't believe me."

Mitchel warned: "You should stop consuming it and be careful with anything Katie feeds you."

"I...it wasn't Katie who gave it to me," Luciana insisted.

Mitchel's look conveyed a mixture of disappointment and distance. He simply commented: "I just hope you don't end up regretting it."

And he turned around and walked away.

Luciana was standing, her hands trembling. Despite his relatively robust condition, he had long been taking psychiatric medications under the instructions of the so-called doctor Katie had introduced him to.

Luciana broke out in a cold sweat. It was no wonder that her thoughts were so confused since taking the medication, leading her to act against her own wishes. If Mitchel was telling the truth, it suggested that Katie had been cheating on her this whole time. He swallowed, wondering what damage he had done to Mitchel and Raegan.

Just then, after consulting Henley, Katie returned and approached Luciana, who seemed lost in thought. "Luciana, are you okay?" he asked softly.

«Nothing, it's just the hands... They don't cooperate,» Luciana fumbled for the words to respond, keeping her thoughts to herself.

Katie didn't think much of it and assumed it was side effects from the medicine. Luciana, I need you to talk to Mitchel for me. He is now completely in love with Raegan. He doesn't think clearly. Please talk to Mitchel about his future.

Her mind in chaos, Luciana nodded absently. «Okay, I understand. I'll talk to him."
