Chapter 905:

Raegan forced a smile, her body going cold. "Well, I agree."

Their agreement was not born of fear, but of sheer exhaustion. The sudden revelation of the truth had caught her off guard, leaving her reeling. Human as she was, she was susceptible to great pain.

Although Raegan could turn to the Foster family to oppose the Glyn and Dixon dynasties, in Ardlens the odds were heavily stacked against her.

She was not willing to risk the Foster family on her behalf or put her unborn children in danger.

Furthermore, his departure was imminent. Mitchel's urgency just sped her up. As Mitchel's wedding approached, just a week away, her reasons for wanting him gone became painfully clear.

As she approached the door, Raegan stopped but didn't turn around. His words were directed at both him and her.

«Mitchel, you have mastered the art of hurting me deeply enough to force my hand. In your eagerness to hurt me, you reveal your own guilt. Maybe I'm imagining things. Maybe you haven't hidden anything. Or maybe my reluctance to let go is causing these delusions. In any case, you have inflicted deep wounds on me. Whatever your intentions, you have achieved your goal.

With her eyes closed and her voice steady, Raegan declared, "Rest assured, I'll be gone and won't bother you again."

With that, Raegan quickly left, not realizing that after the door closed, Mitchel's eyes turned red and tears ran down her face. He then clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.

Meanwhile, in the high-level hospital room…

Matteo, who had just returned to Ardlens after being away on business, was catching up on the situation. His absence had recently been replaced by several new assistants around Mitchel.

Upon his return, Matteo learned of Katie's condition and saw Mitchel's fragile but stubborn behavior, which hurt him deeply.

There were feelings that Matteo was hesitant to express due to his position.

However, after much deliberation, he turned to Mitchel: "Mr. Dixon, is it necessary to go to these extremes?" Mrs. Dixon..."

Pausing, Matteo changed his way of addressing Raegan.

«I understand your concern for Ms. Foster's safety. However, considering that he has the protection of the Foster family and Mr. Erick Foster's formidable bodyguards, we should be able to handle this situation. Why push it so far and leave you with no way out?

Mitchel's face remained ashen and distant as he replied, "I don't need a way out."

Unbeknownst to Matteo, Mitchel had left no way out and had given up any hope for himself. He saw no future or continuity for his own life with the toxin torturing him.

His only goal was to fix everything for Raegan, to ensure her a carefree life ahead, even if he was out of her life.

He preferred that Raegan remember him not with painful nostalgia, but with vehement hatred after his departure, so that it would be easier for him to move on.

Matteo, unable to understand the depth of Mitchel's desperation, did not understand his motives.

During their conversation, Matteo mentioned the public reaction to recent news that had been trending.

Mitchel tapped his finger on the table and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face. “See, everyone thinks I adore that woman.”

On the screen, a video showed Mitchel loading Katie into a car, her dress stained with blood.

The headline praised Mitchel's deep love for Katie, prompting a wave of emotional comments.

The more Mitchel looked, the more absurd it seemed. He chuckled.

«Love, they think it's love. "It's perfect."

This laugh from Mitchel was unlike any Matteo had heard from him before. It was bleak, touched with melancholy, as if Mitchel had transcended the concerns of life and death.

Matteo had always struggled to decipher Mitchel's thoughts, but in that moment he felt a glimmer of understanding. True love was never a show. It was Mitchel's deep love for Raegan that drove him to protect her at all costs.
