Chapter 985:

“You are here…” Matteo hesitated, searching for the right words.

Matteo noticed Raegan, standing before the glass, consumed by deep sadness. It seemed like Raegan was heartbroken.

It was the first time Matteo had seen Raegan outside of Mitchel's living room in recent days. I was baffled by his behavior.

At the crime scene, Raegan was so overwhelmed that she had collapsed, vomiting blood. Now, he seemed distant, having never visited Mitchel even once until now. I just couldn't understand...

Raegan noticed the confusion in Matteo's eyes, but decided not to explain. She didn't mind being misunderstood for being indifferent to Mitchel. Mitchel's well-being was the most important thing.

«Matteo, can I come in to see you?» Ultimately, Raegan wanted to say goodbye in person.

"Of course," Matteo replied.

Since Mitchel was going to have surgery the next day, Raegan had to put on a sterile protective suit before entering.

Matteo stepped away thoughtfully, giving Raegan some time with Mitchel.

In the hospital bed, Mitchel still had several tubes connected for medical reasons.

Although separated by the heavy protective suit, Raegan refrained from touching Mitchel, afraid of disrupting the connected tubes. Yet just being close enough to see him gave her peace.

In that moment, as she watched his chest gently rise and fall, Raegan felt connected to his heartbeat and breathing. Although she couldn't physically touch him, she felt satisfied. «Mitchel, without me by your side, I hope you find health and safety. "It's all I want."

As she prepared to leave, Raegan ran her hand over Mitchel's face, mimicking the motion of repeatedly tracing his sharp facial features in the air.

She had intended not to cry, but to send him off with joyful wishes for success in the operation, but her tears betrayed her determination. Great tears fell, one after another, like pearls cascading from a broken necklace, flowing continuously.

“Mitchel, I'm sorry…” Raegan pressed her hand against the glass, crying uncontrollably.

«I have to break my promise. We can't stay together anymore. You must take care of yourself. Promise me that in this life you will stay healthy, safe, and trouble-free, and that you will live a long life.

After saying these blessings through tears, Raegan gently touched her belly and said, “Babies, I think you want the same thing I do, for your daddy to be safe and healthy. Say goodbye to your daddy, okay?

As Raegan spoke, her belly jiggled slightly. She stood still, afraid of breathing too hard. She wasn't sure she felt the babies move.

There was no more movement in her belly, making her wonder if it was all in her mind. Unwilling to give up, she tried again and said, "Babies, if you want to say hello to your dad, can you please move again?"

Five seconds later, Raegan clearly felt her belly move once more. He hadn't imagined it. Her belly was actually moving! The babies reacted to his words and said goodbye to Mitchel.

Raegan's eyes filled with tears as she stroked her belly, overcome with emotion. "My dear babies, let's hope your operation goes well tomorrow, okay?"

Having overstayed her welcome, Raegan knew it was time to leave.

He looked at Mitchel one last time, with a look full of depth and emotion. He tried hard to engrave every detail of her face in his memory and hold on to it forever.

“Mitchel, bye…” Raegan reluctantly turned around, missing Mitchel's sudden movement as he opened his eyes.

However, given his condition, Mitchel was unable to move, his head rigid, which did not allow him to turn to see her leave. Only the familiar scent that Raegan wore lingered in the air, making his heartbeat quicken.
