Chapter 896:

? ? ? ? ?

Determined to confirm the news, Katie reiterated her question. "Are you absolutely sure you are pregnant?"

The assistant pulled out a chair for Katie, who covered her nose and made a dismissive gesture with her hand, telling the assistant to keep her distance.

The smell was overwhelming and her pregnancy made it even more unbearable.

The assistant smiled awkwardly, retreated with her chair, and said, “He vomited again when I arrived. I then asked her if she was pregnant and she vehemently denied it. But when I pretended to accidentally bump into her, she immediately protected her stomach. It's certainly a telltale sign of pregnancy, right?

Katie's intuition had sharpened since the pregnancy, becoming almost a sixth sense. So, with just one look, Katie suspected that Raegan might be pregnant.

In the end, Katie's suspicion turned out to be true.

"She's less than five months pregnant," the assistant commented confidently. «The belly does not usually appear before five months, and grows rapidly between the seventh and eighth month. "I would say she is between three and four months pregnant."

Three to four months... Katie was speechless, her face blank. That deadline... Don't tell me! Could Raegan's son be Mitchel's?

Katie's gaze turned inward as she searched through her memories from three or four months ago, the period immediately before the explosion. At that time, Mitchel and Raegan were like two drops of water, impenetrable and inseparable.

The deeper Katie delved into the past, the more convinced she became that Raegan's son was really Mitchel's.

Katie gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with venomous fury. For years, she had clung to Mitchel like a shadow, loving him under the guise of friendship. And when she was finally about to become his wife, also known as the wife of the Dixon family heir, thanks to Henley's manipulation, all his plans could come crashing down.

Henley had promised that his plot would be a resounding success.

That meant that Mitchel would face the imminent loss of his entire world.

Despite the imminent fall of Mitchel's world, Katie refused to back down. Even if Mitchel lost everything, she wasn't going to let another woman claim him.

Especially since Raegan wasn't easily swayed by material possessions or social status. If Mitchel's true identity was revealed, Raegan could sympathize with him and reconcile, undoing all of his sabotage efforts. She wouldn't sit by and watch it happen!!!

After years of falling in love, Katie was unwilling to let go of Mitchel. He assumed that even without the Dixon family legacy, Mitchel's remarkable competence would shape a business empire into a new era of greatness.

The prerequisite for this prosperous future was Mitchel's cooperation with her. By helping Mitchel escape Henley's pursuit, she could ensure his success after his fall.

Katie was sure that Mitchel would agree to her conditions. Her plan was carefully orchestrated, tying Mitchel to her side and amassing wealth for her before her days were numbered. After all, it was not possible for him to know of the absence of the cure for the toxin within her body, probably still under the presumption that she had the antidote in her possession.

However, Raegan's unexpected pregnancy could derail their carefully laid plans. Katie couldn't tolerate any uncertainty.

Katie's grip tightened, threatening to break the fork she was holding. Since Raegan's pregnancy scuttled her plans, she was determined to test Raegan's ability to carry the child to term.

After finishing her conversation with the dye factory owner, Raegan went downstairs.

As Raegan walked down the stairs, Janey's video call made her stop and the two chatted amicably.

Gently interrupting Janey after a comfortable five-minute exchange, Raegan addressed her with maternal tenderness: "My dear Janey, I'm heading to the car now, and we'll resume our conversation when I'm safely inside, okay?"

“Okay, bye!” Janey blew a kiss to the screen.

Savoring Janey's kiss, Raegan's smile widened before she reluctantly disconnected the call.

The prospect of seeing her daughter filled Raegan with a radiant joy that was reflected in her warm, tender gaze.
