But right then, Nicole held it dear. She was resolved that both she and Roscoe needed to make the best of their Lives.
After that night, Raegan found no opportunity to see Mitchel again for several days.
Despite living in the same city, Raegan suddenly realized they might never meet again in this lifetime if Mitchel made a point of avoiding her.
The memory of Mitchel’s icy demeanor and his claim of not loving Raegan anymore cut deep.
Yet, each night as Raegan closed her eyes, she could not help but think of the determination in Mitchel’s eyes when he decisively pushed her out of the car loaded with explosives. At that time, he chose to save her at the cost of his own life. The affection she once saw in him seemed a stark contrast to the distance and coldness now. Was something behind Mitchel’s aloof facade?
In the afternoon, once returned from kindergarten, Janey brought up once again her desire to visit Luciana, who had saved her.
Perhaps it was the familial bond asserting itself, as Janey, since being rescued, had inquired about Luciana several times.
Both logically and emotionally, Raegan felt compelled to take Janey to see Luciana.
However, because of the ban imposed by Mitchel, Raegan could only suggest to Janey, “Let’s prepare some food and leave it outside her hospital room. I’ll try to arrange for us to go inside, but if we’re unable to, at least our thoughts will be conveyed.”

Janey, not fully comprehending, nodded. “Okay, I will be good.”
Janey’s compliance filled Raegan with a mixture of emotions, including a twinge of sorrow.
Annis had hinted that Janey wished to see Mitchel, but being perceptive to the tension between Raegan and Mitchel, Janey never brought it up around Raegan.
While preparing nutritional soup, Raegan became distracted and accidentally scalded her hand, resulting in two blisters. She simply wrapped it with gauze and, carrying the soup with Janey, had Victor drive them to the hospital.
Upon arriving at Luciana’s exclusive VIP floor, Raegan was unsurprised to find that Luciana was unavailable.
Raegan appealed to the security staff, mentioning Janey, in the hope that Luciana might be willing to meet Janey. After all, Luciana had risked her life to save Janey. It seemed only natural that Luciana would want to see Janey.
Yet, the response was unchanged.
Janey’s lips pursed into a pout, on the verge of tears.
Raegan swiftly knelt down to console Janey, “Janey, sweetheart, she might not be feeling well right now. When she’s feeling better, I’m sure she’ll want to see you. Okay?”
Fortunately, Janey quickly regained composure. She mentioned needing the restroom, and when Raegan offered to go with her, Janey declined and asked for Victor instead.
Victor nodded. “I’ll take her, ma’am. You wait here.”
As they turned a corner out of Raegan’s view, Janey whispered to Victor, “Can you take me to find my daddy?”
Victor was taken aback, “Janey…”
“Isn’t that woman my daddy’s mother?” Janey reasoned like an adult, “If that’s the case, then my daddy will surely come to see her. Victor, could you take me there?”
Victor hesitated, saying, “Janey, your daddy might not be here right now.”
