Just as the engine roared to life, the back door was flung open.
Mitchel returned, pinned her to the seat, and began to ki*s her passionately.
For a moment, Raegan’s mind went blank. She instinctively tried to dodge, but Mitchel’s grip on her chin was unyielding, giving her no chance to escape.
Raegan was almost suffocated by the ki*s and wanted to run away, but Mitchel’s hand was like an iron clamp, which rendered her powerless.
Soon enough, her lips felt both numb and sore.
Mitchel was drenched from the rain. But as their bodies pressed together, Raegan could feel the warmth of his body.
The contrasting sensations of cold and warmth seemed to stir her desire.
Even though the driver was no longer young, the scene playing out in his backseat made him uneasy. Unable to do anything, he just closed his eyes and pretended to see nothing.
The silence in the car made the sounds of their intimacy all the more audible.
Right when Raegan was about to groan from the pain, Mitchel Loosened his grip on her chin.
Then, he laid half of his body over Raegan’s.
Almost instinctively, Raegan caught Mitchel in her arms, but a sense of unease crept in.
That was when she noticed the blood oozing from the back of his neck, which dripped on her hand.

Lying on the hospital bed, Mitchel was running a fever. Standing in the rain for so long had infected his wound.

Before leaving, Luis turned to Raegan and said, “I know you might find it hard to believe, but Mitchel genuinely cares for you.”
Luis understood Mitchel’s complicated history. When Mitchel was little, his parents had separated, leaving him starved for parental affection. This left him clueless about how to navigate a relationship with a woman and ashamed to admit his feelings.
However, Luis wasn’t fooled by Mitchel’s seemingly indifferent behavior. He knew deep down that Mitchel did care about Raegan.
As Raegan sat at the edge of the hospital bed and stared at Mitchel’s pallid face, a myriad of emotions washed over her.
Could Mitchel really care about her?
If so, why did he treat her like that? Why did he do those things to break her heart?
But if he did not care about her, then why could he be unwilling to get a divorce and even protect her with all his might?
Lost in these thoughts, Raegan eventually dozed off on the edge of the bed.
Outside the room, Jarrod and Luis hung around, smoking cigarettes in the corridor.
