Chapter 209
Let's Remarry Luciana and Raegan went to a cafe near the hospital.
Luciana still looked a bit pale.
She was obviously not in good condition yet.
She sat down, looked at Raegan with a faint smile, and said, "Raegan, thank you for taking care of Mitchel these days.
You are really a big help.
I heard from the doctor that Mitchel is recovering very well.” "Don't mention it.
It's the least I can do," Raegan replied.
This time, Luciana noticed the thermos bottle Raegan put on the table.
She asked, "Is this for Mitchel?” Raegan nodded without saying a word.
Luciana suddenly held her hand on the table and said with mixed emotions, "Raegan, I can see that you have put in a lot of effort in taking care of Mitchel.” Raegan pulled her hand back and smiled faintly. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Luciana, if you have something to say, just say it.” Luciana smiled.
Then she sighed.
"Raegan, I heard that when you two divorced, you didn’t take a single penny.
Is that true?” "Yes, it's true.
1 won't take anything that isn't mine,” Raegan replied straightforwardly.
Luciana hesitated for a moment.
Then, she took out a check from her bag and pushed it toward Raegan.
"Raegan, I like you a lot.
You are a good woman.
I am very grateful for all your help.
But things have already reached this point.
Here, this is my compensation for you.
You have to accept it no matter what.
And..." Luciana's main point was in the latter part of her speech.
"Since you and Mitchel are already divorced, I think you should go your separate ways.
It's better if you stop contacting each other.
Is it okay?” Raegan lowered her gaze and looked at the check on the table.
It turned out Luciana wanted to give her thirty million dollars.
It was quite a lot.
Raegan smiled and said, "Luciana, I plan to wait until he fully recovers before I talk to him about it.
I want everything to be clear to him." Luciana was speechless for a moment, realizing how reasonable Raegan was.
Luciana liked Raegan.
For her, Raegan and Mitchel were a good match.
But Mitchel's life was more important to her.
Now that Mitchel barely escaped his life because of Raegan, she felt the need to interfere.
After she left the hospital that day, Alexis’ words were engraved in her mind.
She could never forget them, and it was what she worried the most.
"Sooner or later, your son will die because of that woman." These words from Alexis were like thorns that pricked her heart.
And they gave her nightmares for many nights.
Of course, no one wanted to be that bad guy to interfere, especially Luciana.
So, Luciana wanted Raegan to understand the situation.
"Raegan, Mitchel has a heavy burden on his shoulders.
He can't let his emotions cloud his judgment.
I hope you understand that.” "Luciana, don't worry.
Rest assured that I won't get him into trouble again.
I will stay away from him.
But this check isn't necessary.
I didn't ask for anything before, and I won't ask for it now.” After saying this, Raegan took out a box from her bag and handed it to Luciana.
"And...
I want to return this bracelet to you.” Luciana looked slightly sad when she saw the box.
She said, "Raegan, I gave it to you, so | have no reason to take it back.
Just keep it.
Take it as a remembrance from me.” But Raegan shook her head in refusal.
"Luciana, this bracelet is too valuable.
It's not appropriate for me to keep it." Raegan then stood up, pushed the thermos bottle toward Luciana, and said, "Please take this to him.
I won't go inside anymore." Luciana didn't stop Raegan from leaving.
She watched Raegan's receding back with a heavy expression and heaved a deep sigh.
After Raegan disappeared from her sight, Luciana stood up and thought for a moment.
In the end, she threw the thermos bottle into the trash can.
Since she wanted Raegan and Mitchel to cut ties, it should be done cleanly.
In his ward, Mitchel had just finished a video conference, He grabbed his phone and checked it.
He hadn't seen Raegan for only half a day, but he terribly missed her already.
Every time he was idle, all he could think of was Raegan.
Her beautiful face...
Her coquettishness...
Her allure...
Mitchel felt he had gone insane.
He was at the point where he couldn’t stand not seeing her for a second.
At this moment, his phone vibrated.
Mitchel quickly picked it up, hoping it was Raegan.
But when he looked at the screen, he found it was Matteo calling.
Matteo was calling to discuss the arrangements for his discharge tomorrow.
Actually, the doctor advised Mitchel to rest for a few more days.
But he had too much work and couldn't stay in the ward all the time.
He had long thought about being discharged, but he was afraid that if he left the hospital, he wouldn't have an excuse for Raegan to come and visit him.
So, he decided to stay another day.
He opened the drawer and took out a ring box.
When he opened it and saw the ring inside, he froze.
It was the one Raegan had used to hit him before.
Matteo kept it and returned it to him.
He decided to tell Raegan about the story of this ring when she came over tonight.
Mitchel raised his hand and checked the time.
It was already half past eight.
It wasn't safe for Raegan to be on the road so late.
He called her, wanting to ask where she was now.
But she didn't answer.
His brows furrowed.
He was about to call again when the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.
Luciana walked in, holding a delicately packed food box in her hand.
"Mitchel, I brought you dinner from your favorite restaurant.” Mitchel had no appetite, so he replied indifferently, "Just put it there." "Come on, you have to eat first.
You need to nourish your body.
How can you recover if you don't eat properly?" As she spoke, Luciana filled the bowl with soup and handed it to him.
Mitchel's frown deepened even more.
Then, his eyes caught a glimpse of the bracelet on Luciana’s wrist.
He grabbed it, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he stared at it.
"Mom, why did you wear this bracelet?” Luciana was taken aback for a moment.
She looked at her wrist and said, "Raegan returned it to me today.
I didn't want to take it back, but she insisted.
She said she couldn't take this bracelet because you two were divorced." Mitchel's face darkened at once.
Luciana gently put the bow] down and said, "I can see that Raegan has moved on.
She is doing great.
You should move on as well.
You still have to shoulder the burden of the Dixon Group.
The market now is different from before.
You can no longer dominate it alone.
So, the next time you look for a wife, the background will be the first factor.
As long as she is a decent woman..." Luciana strongly agreed with the marriage of convenience.
Emotions were not necessary.
A couple only needed to have a child to solidify the ties of both families.
Every time she thought of Mitchel lying in the ICU that day, her heart ached, accompanied by dizziness and tinnitus.
For a mother like her, nothing else mattered than her son's life.
She was even willing to be that bad guy for interfering for Mitchel's sake.
Mitchel remained silent, so Luciana continued, "The daughter of the Benton family is actually quite suitable for you.
It's just a pity that you don't like her.
But, anyway, no need to rush.
We can take our time looking for a better wife for you." Mitchel didn't seem to hear a single word Luciana said.
He was carefully recalling every detail of Raegan's departure today.
He didn’t notice anything unusual.
How could she suddenly become like this? He once convinced himself that her lack of response was due to her tight schedule with work.
She would come and bring him dinner this evening.
Yet, hearing Luciana's words, he found she was even more heartless than he imagined.
While Luciana was still talking, Mitchel suddenly sat up from the bed.
He moved so abruptly that he coughed several times.
Luciana panicked.
She immediately stepped forward to help him.
She couldn't help scolding, "Mitchel, what are you doing?” But before she could touch him, Mitchel had already put on his coat and left the ward.
Luciana sat down helplessly.
She didn't run after Mitchel anymore.
Instead, she took out her phone and sent Raegan a message.
After reading Luciana's message, Raegan stared at the screen of her phone for a long time.
Finally, she replied, "I understand.” Luciana told her that Mitchel had left the hospital and was on the way to find her.
Luciana begged her to make him give up.
Raegan couldn't describe how she felt at this moment.
When Luciana protected her, she was really touched because she had lost her mother when she was a child.
She had never experienced such kind of motherly care.
Luciana's protection made her realize how good it was to be loved and cared for by a mother.
Raegan knew that Luciana's care for her was genuine.
Luciana really liked her.
But when it came to Mitchel's safety, Luciana could abandon her.
After all, Mitchel was Luciana’s son, her blood and flesh.
She didn't blame Luciana.
In fact, she envied Mitchel for having such a good mother who loved him wholeheartedly.
Unlike her, who was all alone in this world.
She had no one left with her.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
The door opened, and Mitchel’s tall figure was standing at the door.
Their eyes met, but neither of them spoke.
After a while, Mitchel finally broke the silence.
He said hoarsely, "You didn't come to see me, so I came to see you.” The way he said it, he seemed to be glossing over the situation.
He pretended not to know that Raegan had returned Luciana's bracelet.
It was as if everything continued from where they had left off last night.
Raegan secretly clenched her fists tightly.
Then she said coldly, "Mitchel..." "Let's remarry,” Mitchel interrupted, not allowing her to speak.
