Yet, Raegan remained silent on the matter, leaving Erick puzzled about her thoughts.
During the tense days of Mitchels coma, the initial period was critical. The doctor issued frequent updates on his precarious condition.
On the surface, Raegan was calm and composed, never bringing him up.
However, on the third night, she discreetly wheeled herself to the ward where Mitchel was being treated. But she couldnt enter the ICU.
Watching Matteo hurriedly moving about and witnessing the distress each time doctors emerged to update on Mitchels critical state only deepened Raegans pain. She felt like a coward, too fearful to hear any updates about Mitchel. For her, mo news was preferable to potentially devastating news. She couldnt bear the thought of facing the scenario from her nightmare. The pain she had endured in the ordeal in her vivid nightmare was excruciating. It felt as though fate was taunting them, each twist another stab of the double-edged sword they faced.

Days passed, and Raegans health improved enough for her to walk independently, her medical indicators returning to normal.
During this recovery period, Erick ensured Victor was constantly by Raegans side.
Victor eventually brought news that Lorenzo had been killed by Katie.
More startling was the revelation that Katie too had passed away.
Katie had left behind little family. Her father was deceased, and her stepmother, who had been ousted by Katies dominating presence, returned home gleefully upon hearing of Katies demise.
The police conducted an autopsy on Katies body, which the stepmother had authorized. The results showed that Katie died from massive trauma, excessive bleeding leading to pleural effusion, and asphyxiation.
Essentially, Katies demise was a classic case of reaping what she had sowed. Authorities had collected evidence of Katies misdeeds.
However, with her death, legal proceedings were no longer pursued.

Katies stepmother showed no concern for Katie since she had endured Katies abuse within the Glyn family for years. Upon learning of Katies actions, she was relieved. She had wisely distanced herself early on, which likely spared her from becoming another of Katies victims.
The stepmother refused to even claim Katies ashes, instructing a bodyguard to dispose of them indifferently without purchasing a grave, a clear testament to her disdain.
Although Katies end was tragic, Raegan felt no pity for her. Katie probably never anticipated such an end. Had Katie foreseen it, she might have chosen a different path.
Regarding the attempt on Raegans life, Victor had uncovered some details. The assassin hailed from Aurora.
The mention of Aurora puzzled Raegan. Why would someone from a place she had never visited harbor such a deadly grudge against her?
Despite her curiosity, Raegan knew better than to probe into these matters recklessly.
Erick, however, reassured Raegan that he would handle the investigation.
After spending nearly two weeks in the hospital, there was finally some positive news. Mitchel had regained consciousness. However, he was still bedridden and mute, only capable of blinking and unable to express any emotions.
His recovery was further complicated by the residual effects of the poison, a fractured knee joint, and complications from a gunshot wound. Though awake, his condition required careful management.
After careful deliberation, Luis planned to surgically administer the antidote on the third day following Mitchels awakening.
The decision was driven by the toxins severe impairment of Mitchels healing processes. At this rate, Mitchels most significant recovery might be limited to merely opening and blinking his eyes.
