Raegan was taken aback. So, it was Mitchel in the black SUV today
This explained the uneasy feeling she had when she spotted the vehicle.
Observing her silence, Stefan ventured, Raegan, how do you want to handle Mr. Dixons situation?
Asking this made Stefan somewhat nervous. He could tell that Raegan still harbored deep feelings for Mitchel, evident from their past in Ardlens. Despite their tumultuous relationship, their affection seemed enduring.
Recently, Stefan learned that Mitchel had been attempting to resolve some issues for Raegan, albeit clumsily, which only resulted in more pain and misunderstanding between them. This had led Raegan to distance herself from Mitchel, even during her pregnancy.

Ideally, this conversation would have been Ericks to initiate, not his. But driven by his emotions today, Stefan needed to understand Raegans intentions.
Regardless of Raegans decision, Stefan resolved to respect it. Even if it meant that she still loved Mitchel and chose to return to him
Stefan would conceal his own feelings and wish them happiness.
Meeting Stefans earnest gaze, Raegan murmured, I dont know yet, but I want to wait until he wakes up.
Stefan responded softly, Okay, dont worry. The doctors here are very professional.
After a thorough examination, Mitchel had an IV needle in his wrist.

The doctor explained that the implant in his knee had been displaced due to carelessness. Once displaced, it could cause severe inflammation, which the doctor noted was quite painful.
It was astonishing how Mitchel had managed to endure the pain and remain in Aurora for several days without seeking medical attention.
The recommended treatment involved replacing the knee implant and requiring Mitchel to avoid using his leg for two months to ensure proper healing. This meant Mitchel would need to remain bedridden for the next two months.
Considering the urgency, Raegan, despite the late hour, called Luis, a medical expert.
Luis was shocked by the situation and repeatedly referred to Mitchel as a lunatic for his negligence.
Luis was aware that Mitchel had attended Raegans wedding but was unaware that he had stayed behind in Aurora while letting Matteo return alone.
The cold, humid climate of Aurora was detrimental to recovery, exacerbating Mitchels leg condition.
With the added complication of inflammation, managing surgery in Aurora was feasible, but the post-operative recovery would be challenging in such an unsuitable climate.
Luis then suggested that it would be wiser for Mitchel to return to Ardlens for the surgery, where conditions were more favorable for a quick recovery. He added, Knowing that the cold and damp are bad for his leg and still choosing not to return, it seems he doesnt care about his leg anymore
Raegan was taken aback, realizing the gravity of the situation, and asked in a worried tone, Luis, why is his condition so severe?
Raegan assumed Mitchel had been resting for almost two months. How could it worsen?
Luis hesitated. Its actually not too bad
Raegan was skeptical. Seeing Mitchels pale face and the way the Aurora doctors had shaken their heads, she suspected the situation was dire.
