Chapter 975:

Even then, Katie's malice had not faded. His eyes glinted with cruelty as he struggled to get up and chase after the pair.

But halfway there, her arm gave way, making her fall to the ground again.

The impact was hard and he spat out a mouthful of dark, clotted blood.

As she lay on the ground, the blood could not come out and pooled in her throat again, choking her.

Katie coughed violently and her arms turned deep purple, obviously in great distress from the suffocation.

After the strong fall, his body was completely immobilized, unable to move.

He tried to curse, opening his mouth, but only a hoarse, dry sound escaped him.

More blood surged, the clotted mass choking her even more, invading her windpipe.

He continued to cough, white foam forming at the corners of his lips, and the sounds of his coughing became fainter. His hands pounded the ground as if seeking help.

But the building was eerily silent, save for the unconscious man Lorenzo was leading.

Finally, Katie's body began to convulse violently in a final struggle. Afterwards, it became completely rigid...

Raegan helped Mitchel to the elevator. Now that the building was safe and free of outside threats, it was much safer and easier to use the elevator instead of the stairs, which would have been too tiring for her.

Once inside the elevator, Raegan leaned Mitchel against the wall and took a moment to catch her breath.

She reached out to press the plant button and turned to see Mitchel staring at her with his piercing, unblinking eyes.

Surprised, Raegan quickly reached out to touch his forehead and asked, "How are you feeling?" Are you OK?"

Suddenly, Mitchel grabbed her wrist and asked in a hoarse voice, “Raegan… Am I dreaming?”

He raised his calloused hand to caress her cheek. "Is this real?"

He seemed delirious from fever, as if he were experiencing a dream.

Raegan stood still, letting her blood-stained hand gently caress his face. She responded with patience and tenderness: “It's me. I'm really here..."

Before she could finish, Mitchel roughly pulled her closer and wrapped her in a tight hug, holding her firmly. His arms wrapped around her like vines, holding her securely, but he remained silent. He just held her, savoring the reality of her touch.

Raegan felt the squeeze, but didn't move away.

At that moment, they both needed each other.

His voice, slightly broken, broke the silence. «A moment ago, I had another dream about you. In it, you turned to look at me and finally hugged me..."

This made Raegan's nose tingle and a bittersweet feeling fill her heart. It turned out that during all the painful days they had endured, he had dreamed of her repeatedly.

In his dreams, she had always seemed distant and indifferent to him. That's why Mitchel thought that the hug they had just shared could be another dream, a beautiful illusion.
