A wave of emotions hit Raegan.
Learning of Mitchel’s upcoming engagement was one thing, but seeing Eloise in person felt like a fresh wound.
How could she forget Eloise’s sweet and flirtatious voice in the tent when Mitchel risked his life to save her?
For a moment, Raegan felt as though an invisible hand had slapped her.
Her heart sank with grief.
Perhaps Mitchel’s heroics were driven by guilt over the baby, not the feelings Raegan had hoped for.
At this moment, Raegan quietly stepped aside and let them pass.
In an instant, Alexis’ demeanor transformed in Eloise’s presence. He shook hands with the middle-aged woman and greeted her warmly, “Mrs. Benton, what brings you here?”

“I came after hearing about Mitchel’s heroic deed. I wanted to see if he’s recovering well,” Polly replied.
Upon hearing her words, Raegan’s complexion lost its color once more.
A heroic deed? It turned out that that was how they described the incident.
Well, it would not be appropriate to suggest that Mitchel had left his fiancée behind to save another woman.
“Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated,” Alexis gratefully expressed.
“It’s the least I can do. After all, our families will be united soon.”
As Polly spoke, she placed a deliberate emphasis on the word “family”.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Raegan’s face.
She could consider Polly’s words just now as an awakening. What reason did Polly have to lie?
Now, Raegan had no reason to stay anymore. So, she turned around and walked toward the elevator.
Polly was stunned when she saw Raegan. She asked Alexis, “Who is she?”
Eloise also saw Raegan. She was about to approach and greet Raegan when Alexis suddenly said, “I don’t know her.”
Alexis looked at Raegan’s back and explained to Polly scornfully, “She should be a hospital cleaner.”
Of course, Raegan heard this. She stopped in her tracks.
Indeed, Alexis would never miss a chance to belittle her.
But his words were no longer a blow to her.
