Mitchel understood that Raegan’s words were meant to reassure Janey.
He moved closer to coax Janey, “Yes, your mommy isn’t mad at me. I will do my best not to upset your mommy.”
With that, Mitchel hugged Janey, gave Raegan a meaningful look, and declared, “Daddy will take you and your mommy home.”
Raegan was at a loss for words.
Then, Mitchel gently took Raegan’s hand in his. He gripped it firmly, sharing his warmth with Raegan’s cold hands.
Raegan tried to pull away but couldn’t manage it. Just as she was about to get angry, she heard Mitchel’s deep voice. “Let’s take Janey home first, and we can talk about everything else later.”
Janey was Raegan’s soft spot. She instantly stopped trying to pull away and allowed Mitchel to hold her.
Mitchel had Matteo handle all the paperwork about discharge.

Glancing at Raegan and Mitchel, Annis wanted to go back to the ward and pack Raegan’s stuff. “I’ll ride back in Mr. Clifford’s car.”
Mitchel’s brow furrowed slightly, and he said gently to Annis, “You don’t have to bother Mr. Clifford. My assistant will drive you back.”
Raegan was at a loss for words. She noticed Mitchel had a playful side, making a big deal out of even small things to compete with Stefan.
Mitchel didn’t grant Raegan the chance to say goodbye to Stefan at the hospital and took them straight to his car.
Raegan had no choice but to inform Stefan through calls.
After the call, Mitchel looked quite unhappy, maintaining a sullen mood during the drive.
Janey, exhausted from playing all morning, dozed off in Mitchel’s arms.
When they reached the villa, Mitchel carried Janey to her room, carefully laying her on the bed. He then knelt down, took off Janey’s shoes, and tucked her in with a light blanket.
Raegan observed his tender actions, finding herself momentarily speechless.
Sensing Mitchel was about to leave, Janey mumbled in her sleep, “Daddy… Don’t go…”
Her soft voice clenched Mitchel’s heart with a pain he couldn’t shake off.
Mitchel crouched down once more, tenderly holding Janey’s small hand, gently stroking the blanket, and murmured, “Daddy’s here. Janey, go back to sleep…”
Mitchel waited until Janey fell back into a deep sleep before he carefully pulled away his hand and stood up to leave.
Raegan, gazing at Janey’s peaceful face, felt a surge of emotions.
Yet, she realized she had to brace herself for what was ahead. She inhaled deeply and walked forward with a heavy heart.
Upon opening the door, she saw Mitchel standing by the second-floor balcony, his figure statuesque. He rested against the railing, his outline strikingly distinct, holding an unlit cigarette, deep in thought.
