Then, Katie linked her arms with Luciana’s and murmured, “Mitchel is sleeping right now. Better not disturb him at the moment. Let’s go on a walk together.”
Luciana raised an eyebrow. “I thought you would linger in Mitchel’s ward a bit longer.”
Despite the turmoil raging in her mind, Katie’s smile didn’t falter nor did her tone waver. “After I finish your tasty food, I’ll go back and check on Mitchel. Right now, allow me to take a stroll with you.”
The assumption Katie and Mitchel got along well brought a smile to Luciana’s face.
“Alright then.” Luciana beamed.
“It’s a lovely day.” A coy smile curved Katie’s lips and she added in an affectionate tone, “To think we’ll be a family soon. I’m so excited.”
Luciana touched Katie’s hand and sighed. “Yeah. Knowing you are here to take care of Mitchel makes me relieved.”

Seeing her chance, Katie quickly said, “About the press conference, I think we should do it earlier than planned. Mitchel had encountered various difficulties in the past few days, and I’m a bit worried.”
The last sentence struck a chord with Luciana. Her face turned grave as she recalled a fortune teller who predicted Mitchel would face calamities this year and pointed out that the calamities could only be resolved through a blessed marriage.

Earlier when Raegan collided with Katie, she didn’t notice anything wrong with her feet. But later, her feet started feeling uncomfortable, so much so that she was having difficulty standing.
She looked at Mitchel and said, “I need to go home.”

“Why?” Raegan looked at him warily and didn’t approach.
Mitchel briefly glanced at her, not feeling particularly talkative.
He asked, “Do you want to come over on your own, or should I carry you?”
Raegan sneered, “Can you still carry someone…”

As she spoke, Mitchel’s towering form materialized before her, causing her words to die on her tongue. He bent down and effortlessly lifted her up, using only his uninjured hand.
“Ah!” Shocked, Raegan exclaimed and instinctively wrapped her hands around his neck tightly. “Mitchel, are you crazy?”
He was still injured, yet he was being so reckless. Luckily, the bed was within reach. In a matter of seconds, he had deposited Raegan on the bed.
But Raegan was far from calm. Her heart beat a wild staccato and she glowered at him, her voice rife with panic when she demanded, “What the hell are you doing, Mitchel?”
Mitchel didn’t reply. He grabbed her feet and took off her shoes.
Due to his injuries, he couldn’t squat, so he sat on the bed next to her and placed her leg on his leg.
