In his world, once he achieved his goals, manipulating relationships was just another strategy.
Raegan turned the doorknob and walked in, only to be greeted by Mitchel by the door. He stared at her with deep, dark eyes, not even blinking.
Raegan’s cheeks grew warm. She thought that since they had chosen to be together, honesty was key. So, she stayed close enough for him to hear and be reassured.
Yet, despite her determination, being in front of Mitchel made her shy about her previous words.
Raegan gazed at his pale, attractive face with a look of worry. “Why are you up? Let me help you get back to bed.” Was it really wise for him to be on his feet with a cane right after waking up?
Raegan extended her hand to assist Mitchel, but he quickly grabbed her, pulling her into a firm embrace, making it difficult for her to catch her breath.
“Mitchel?” Raegan stiffened, wondering if he was in pain or too weak to stand.
She quickly asked, “Are you in pain? Should I call the doctor?” Her concern was evident.
“No,” Mitchel said in a low, calming voice, comforting her from above.
His tone was full of excitement yet seemed strained as he earnestly and gently expressed, “Thank you for choosing to return to me…”
Raegan’s heart felt like it was overflowing with warmth, as if she might dissolve completely.

“Mitchel, thank you.” Raegan hugged him back, saying, “Thank you for holding on to me.”
Without Mitchel, Raegan assumed she might not have survived. His bravery in saving her life was something she deeply appreciated.

Mitchel looked down, his eyes reflecting a joyful smile. The effort he had put in was finally showing results. How could he not feel joy?
“You don’t have to thank me. As your husband, I’m here to support you.”
Raegan’s cheeks turned pink again, whispering, “What husband…”
They didn’t have a marriage certificate, so they were more like a couple than spouses.
Mitchel gave a playful smile. “We were once married. You can’t get rid of me.”
He knew it wasn’t easy for her to take this step. Therefore, he waited with patience, ready to get the marriage certificate with her when she was prepared to open her heart completely.
Raegan’s ears warmed up, and she nudged him gently. “You should lie down now. You’ve been on your feet too long.”
Mitchel’s gaze intensified, and he whispered close to her ear, “It is difficult.” Difficult in a way that came from a deep yearning to be close when his condition resisted…
Before Raegan could reply, he ki*sed her, a quick touch of their lips before he drew back.
It had been almost a month since they last shared such closeness.
Even this brief contact made Raegan’s face heat up.
