Chapter 718

? ? ? ? ?

Despite the enveloping darkness, that voice was clear as crystal. It was the one I had been wanting to hear.

It gave Raegan the strength to swim upwards, finally seeing a glimmer of light. He pushed himself towards that light.

The sound of a sliding door brought Raegan out of the depths of her slumber. He opened his eyes slowly, fighting the heaviness in his head.

As her sight gradually focused, she saw a tall, striking man walking towards her. His deep, calm eyes seemed to wake her up.

Tears came to Raegan's eyes. "Mitchel..."

With a mixture of impatience and disdain for everything else, Raegan stumbled to her feet and ran toward him.

He picked her up gently, whispering, "Be careful."

Raegan hugged him, burying her face in his chest. There were so many things he wanted to say, but he was left speechless.

He gently rubbed her back, his voice soothing. «You look thinner. Haven't you eaten well?

Raegan was too overwhelmed to speak. She just clung to him, sobbing non-stop.

He let out a sigh, sounding completely helpless. “Raegan, you have to be strong, okay?”

Raegan just shook her head. I wanted to tell him: “I don't want to be strong. "I just need you by my side." But the words didn't come out. It was like something was stuck in his throat.

Bending down, he gently wiped her tears with his thumb and whispered, “Come on. Don't cry. Your eyes are swollen like walnuts.

Raegan tried to smile, but the tears kept coming.

"Raegan, I'm really worried about you," he admitted.

Raegan's body shuddered, feeling a chill to her core. He realized something. His hands balled into fists, grasping at the air.

Raegan watched him walk away, his figure blurring until he disappeared. I couldn't see him anymore.

"Mitchel!" he finally shouted.

But all Raegan saw and felt were the bare white walls and the cold of the room. Nothing else…

“Raegan!” A voice Raegan knew all too well shouted.

Raegan turned her head almost without thinking. The door opened and there was Nicole.

Nicole rushed over and wrapped Raegan in a tight hug, tears in her eyes, saying, "You're finally awake..."

Raegan had lost a lot of weight.

After a long hug, Nicole pulled away and said, "Erick is back and Janey is with Annis. They haven't told him yet..."
