He pinched her earlobe and said, “What I desire is for you to take care of me.” He wanted to spend more time with her, to be with her, and cherish every moment with her.
“That’s all?” Raegan asked in disbelief. Mitchel didn’t seize the opportunity to make excessive demands. It was so unlikely of him.
This was not his style.
“You want more than that?” Mitchel was amused that Raegan seemed disoriented by his willingness not to pressure her, a deviation from her expectations. His lips suddenly quirked. “But, of course, if you want to do something else, I will be delighted to accept it.”
He emphasized the words “something else” deliberately. Raegan’s face flushed even more. “You wish!”
Raegan was about to get up from the bed. But Mitchel quickly pulled her back and held her waist tightly. “You are not allowed to leave tonight.”

His words were full of his habitual authoritative tone. But actually, he was worried about her foot. It didn’t seem serious. But she shouldn’t wear shoes. Otherwise, her foot’s condition would worsen.
It was better to let her stay overnight, so she could rest.
“No, I’m leaving.” Raegan refused to stay, especially when she was reminded of the ki*s they had just now. She felt her face was burning.
The corners of Mitchel’s mouth curled up. “Look at me. With my current condition, what can I possibly do to you?”
When Raegan thought of his injuries, she couldn’t help blaming herself. Her resistance weakened. She faltered, “But…”
“No buts,” Mitchel interrupted. He hugged her even tighter, refusing to let her go.
“Shall I call your brother for this?” There was a hint of danger in his tone. “Should I tell him that his sister has to take care of the person who got even injured because of her?”
“You won’t hold my brother responsible, right?” Raegan’s eyes widened.
She warned, “Don’t you dare!”
Mitchel’s deep-set black eyes stared at her intensely. “You seem adept at negotiating with me.”
Raegan’s voice softened a little when she said, “No, that’s not my intention. My brother seldom gets into fights. He was only impulsive at that time because he was worried about me. So, can you let it pass?”
“Fight?” Mitchel’s eyes darkened. Raegan was staunchly defending her brother, and he couldn’t help but feel jealous.
He corrected her, “It wasn’t a fight. He assaulted me, and I wasn’t allowed to defend myself.” But if Erick was not Raegan’s brother, Erick must have been lying in the ICU by now.
Mitchel felt a sense of injustice. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “You exploit my affection for you to mistreat me.”

As he spoke, he sounded aggrieved. His mood was a bit melancholic.
When Raegan saw the expression on Mitchel’s face, she felt like she was affected by his mood. Suddenly, her heart hurt. For some reason, she felt sorry for him. Indeed, it was Erick’s fault for attacking Mitchel. And Raegan felt responsible for what had happened to Mitchel.
At this moment, she felt like he deserved an apology. So, she said softly, “On behalf of my brother, I apologize to you. I am so sorry for his impulsiveness and any distress I have caused you. Will you accept my apology?”
Mitchel was frustration. But it was not because of Erick’s assault.
