Seeing the coldness in Mitchel’s eyes, Jocelyn’s heart skipped a beat.
She could not understand why Mitchel disagreed. It was not an unreasonable request, was it?
Did Mitchel not care about Lauren?
Even if Raegan was his wife, he should be defending Lauren instead.
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly shifted.
Furious, Lauren clenched her hands that her nails almost dug into her palm. Still, she kept her poker face.
“It’s okay, Jocelyn. Let’s not make things awkward for Mitchel.
Besides, I doubt Raegan would agree to that. An apology should suffice.”
Lauren’s words were carefully chosen and painted her in the role of the magnanimous socialite while making Raegan seem petty in comparison.

Even better, acting graciously might win her some sympathy with Mitchel.
As for Raegan, well, Lauren was just biding her time.
Sooner or later, she would make sure the score was settled.
Sure enough, Mitchel’s icy demeanor softened because of her words.
After being silent for a long time, his lips finally parted, and he said, “Lauren, I apologize to you on Raegan’s behalf.”

What the hell! Lauren’s face drained of color. For a second, she thought she was dreaming.
Why was Mitchel apologizing? What the hell was wrong with him?
Unable to contain her frustration any longer, Lauren blurted out, “Mitchel, she slapped me and shoved me against the railing! Don’t you think I deserve an apology from her?”
“Mr. Dixon, you’re being unfair!” Jocelyn chimed in.
“If my lord hears about how my lady’s been treated, he’ll be furious and wouldn’t let Raegan off the hook easily!”
“If the Murray family has issues with this, I’ll offer them my apologies in person,” Mitchel snapped back.
“Mitchel, you know I didn’t mean that way. I never want to make a fuss. I’m just hurt. You said you’d treat me like a sister. Is this how you treat family?” Lauren bitterly asked.
“I understand you’re upset. I promise I’ll make it up to you. But for now, you should rest. It’s late.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mitchel left the room, his mind preoccupied with other matters.
Once he was out of sight, Lauren went berserk and smashed everything she could in the ward.
