Chapter 770:

The driver had clearly erred in judgment by being rude to Raegan.

Mitchel's stern look became even more stern. “Check if those modified wheels and taillights are legal. If not, notify the authorities.

"Yes sir".

A cold aura seemed to emanate from Mitchel as he continued, “Delves into his life, his work, his connections, and his routine. Find anything out of place.

The assistant reflected on the driver's dire fate as he added another note to his growing list. It was crucial to obey traffic rules and yield to those on foot. Neglecting them could lead to arrest for something that seemed minor, all because one had been unlucky enough to run into someone influential. Regret would be a bitter pill to swallow once his world turned upside down.

Then Mitchel broke the silence. "Someone bring him an umbrella."

The assistant's eyes widened. As Raegan stood soaked in the relentless downpour, she thought, Only when she's already soaked from the rain and cold have you decided to bring her an umbrella? Is this the moment for a true savior?

The assistant kept these thoughts to himself, knowing better than to challenge his boss. With a quick nod, he left to carry out the task.

Mitchel was a statue in the downpour, motionless. He didn't refuse to move. It was just that his body was frozen from a long lack of movement.

Willpower was the only thing keeping him from sinking to the ground in the rain.

With a mountain of tasks ahead of him and the clock ticking, Mitchel resolved to offer Raegan what he believed was the best path forward.

Mitchel sincerely hoped that Raegan would decide to move on after this ordeal.

When a stranger stopped to hand Raegan an umbrella, a feeling of comfort washed over her. He wasn't planning on getting hurt. A good cry had been enough, but now there was something else at play. She was protecting two new lives growing inside her, a daunting task that put pressure on her.

When Raegan asked for a ride, she was waiting for the driver, but Erick showed up instead.

Erick had gone to Raegan's house to look for her and, when he couldn't find her, he was about to call her. But then he heard the driver talking on the phone to Raegan and decided to go look for her himself.

Seeing Raegan soaked to the skin, Erick felt a stab of pain. He took off his jacket and put it over his shoulders. What's keeping you out here in the rain? And where is the driver?

As she huddled in the car, Raegan began to warm up, her voice soft and hushed. «It's not the driver's fault. "I told him to leave."

Erick looked at her, sensing that something was wrong. "Have you come to look for him again?"

"It's just... I'm not reconciled... I just can't accept it," she whispered, her voice breaking with sobs.

Raegan had assumed that Mitchel would spend the rest of his life with her after her miraculous survival of the explosion, only to be faced with his raw admission that his love had faded. How could she free Mitchel, the man who had trapped her heart, the one she loved more than anyone?

"He claims his love has faded, but why can't he take it in?" Raegan's trembling voice was thick with tears. «It doesn't make sense. How could he fall out of love with me?

“Raegan…” Hearing her anguish, Erick felt deep sorrow. A strong urge stirred within him to confront Mitchel immediately, despite Mitchel's mother's critical condition.

"I'm probably being stubborn, but I have the nagging feeling that he's taking care of me by being cold to me. Maybe I'm trying to stop them from hurting me. It must be hard for him to push everyone away and deal with everything alone…” Raegan's tears came uncontrollably.

In Erick's presence, Raegan dropped the facade of being strong. He gave in to his emotions, crying openly. "I can't stand the thought of living with regrets..."

"Raegan, I'm with you, whatever path you take." Erick, who could never remain indifferent to Raegan's distress, relented immediately.

Raegan, through tears, barely expressed her concern: “I feel like he's hiding something. Just promise me you won't fight him.

Looking into her eyes, Erick firmly promised, “Unless I hurt you, I will stay out of it. But if it crosses that line, I won't just watch."

Raegan looked down and her words came out hollow. "He has cut me off from his life."
