Raegan felt a sting in her palm, her eyes filled with surprise. She hadn’t thought Mitchel would actually stop, nor did she expect to herself react so angrily.
Mitchel’s face lost color, with the mark of five fingers vividly red on his cheek. His eyes filled with hurt and disbelief as he looked at Raegan. “You slapped me for him?”
The pain in his voice was clear, his face contorted with distress.
Raegan froze for a moment. Even though she had somewhat overreacted, she didn’t regret it. After all, Mitchel was the first to act, and she hadn’t expected him to stop upon hearing her.
Pulling herself together, Raegan said with a cold tone, “Mr. Dixon, you can’t just throw your weight around here. This is my ward, and I won’t let you bully anyone here.”
Mitchel, faced with her cold and distant manner, was reminded of the scene where she and Stefan were cooing over Janey. Such a warm and happy scene. And yet, he was Janey’s real biological father. Moreover, Raegan and Erick had kept the truth of Janey’s paternity from him, treating him like a fool.
At that moment, Mitchel’s expression was pale, his voice filled with bitterness. “Who’s bullying who, exactly?” As Janey’s biological father, didn’t he have the right to know about Janey’s existence?

Raegan appeared delicate, but her heart was tougher and more merciless than his. He probably seemed foolish in her eyes.
Raegan, noticing the deep pain in his expression, felt a strange bitterness in her heart. The aftermath of regaining her memory meant that all the forgotten love and hatred were sweeping back in. This man was no longer a stranger but someone she once shared a deep connection with, someone she once hoped to be with forever. Her thoughts were in complete disarray.
Raegan didn’t feel like seeing Mitchel right now. His presence would only bring back all those painful memories. She remarked with a chill in her voice, “Unless there’s something important, I’d like you to leave.”

Mitchel’s distinguished and attractive face lost all its color at her words. The anguish in his heart was intense. Raegan was driving him away. Plus, she had hit him for another man… How could she be so cold to him?
Mitchel couldn’t hide his frustration anymore as he pointed at Stefan.
“He’s the one who should be leaving, not me!”
He went on, clearly in a foul mood, “I need to talk to you. Make him go away.”
Raegan found his demand unreasonable. “Why do I have to do what you say? You’re the one who should go.”
“Why?” Mitchel, pushed to the brink of frustration, managed a bitter smile. “Isn’t it obvious? I’m your husband and Janey’s father.
Doesn’t that mean anything?”
Raegan was taken aback. How did he know about Janey’s paternity?
Raegan’s shocked expression only made Mitchel’s pain worse. He laughed bitterly. Seeing her and Stefan standing side by side, he felt like he was a stranger.
With a snort, he exited Raegan’s ward without saying anything.
Raegan stood there, motionless. The realization that he became aware of Janey’s paternity, which was something she had just remembered, caught her off guard.
Her mind drew a blank, wanting to say something but feeling as if she were being suffocated. The only thing on her mind was whether he would confront her over Janey. No, she couldn’t allow that to happen!
Stefan noticed Raegan’s distress and gently squeezed her arm, looking at her with concern, “Raegan, are you alright?”
Coming back to her senses, Raegan Looked at Stefan and quickly said, “Stefan, if Annis and Janey return, could you please make sure they get home safely?”
