Chapter 757:

Raegan nodded slightly and started to sit up, but Erick was quick to offer his support. "Calm down," he said quietly.

Raegan looked up, surprised by Erick's care. She wasn't that delicate. "What's wrong, Erick?" he asked, massaging his sore temples.

Erick seemed to hesitate and then looked at her.

The concern in his expression made Raegan's heart skip a beat, and she asked anxiously, "Erick, what's wrong?"

“I have to tell you something, and you might want to get ready.”

Erick said as he handed her a medical report, taking a deep breath.

"You're pregnant."

Raegan was surprised. Pregnant… She glanced at the report, which suggested she was expecting twins.

Raegan recognized each word, but they took on a whole new meaning.

I was pregnant. And twins.

Due to an illness that made it difficult for her to conceive, Raegan had always considered it unlikely to have children again. However, the report suggested that she had conceived before Mitchel's disappearance. At that time, Mitchel had confessed that he had replaced contraceptives with vitamin C, since contraceptives were harmful to his condition. In case she became pregnant despite the odds, they collectively decided to bring him into the world.

But given her condition, she dismissed it and decided to let nature take its course.

And now, the news that she was expecting twins overwhelmed Raegan. He read the report several times, struggling to grasp the reality and unable to pinpoint his feelings.

Noticing her lack of enthusiasm, Erick asked her, "Raegan, what's on your mind?"

Erick had sensed some tension between Raegan and Mitchel. Raegan's fainting yesterday was probably due to pregnancy-related weaknesses and possibly Mitchel's words.

If it weren't for Mitchel's mother still in the ICU, it wouldn't have taken Erick so long to settle the score with Mitchel. As a son, Erick understood how Mitchel felt and chose to swallow his anger for a while.

Raegan paused for a few moments, her palms sweaty. "Erick, I need time to think."

“Okay, whatever you decide, I'm here for you,” Erick reassured her.

Being brothers, Raegan and Erick understood each other enough without needing to say much.

Raegan couldn't express what she felt. It was a mixture of sadness and a glimmer of hope. I was pregnant. What would Mitchel think if he found out?

But then, Raegan remembered his disparaging words. "Us? What relationship do we have?

"Talking about love after divorce seems absurd."

"If there was love, wouldn't we still be together?"

Raegan was speechless. She felt her heart being pulled harshly, snapping her out of her daze.
