She quickly pressed the call button, urging the doctor to attend to the bleeding.
The doctor faced a challenge in redressing the reopened wound.
Once the gauze was replaced, Mitchel’s complexion turned ghostly pale.
Witnessing this, Luciana felt as if her heart was being cleaved with a blade.
“Does it still hurt, Mitchel?”
Mitchel lifted his gaze and spoke flatly.
“Don’t worry. I’m alright.”
Luciana’s eyes brimmed with tears. Alright? How could he be?

The blade had come perilously close to his heart. It was his heart!
A mere shift could have spelled his end, beyond even God’s intervention.
Luciana’s heart was laden with anxiety over Mitchel’s condition, yet Mitchel seemed to disregard his brush with death.
To him, he would risk it all again without a second thought.
He broke into a cough and inquired with a note of unease, “Mom, have you seen Raegan?”
Tears shimmered in Luciana’s eyes as she responded, “I noticed her as I hurried here, but I didn’t see her later.”
Upon awakening, Luciana sought out Mitchel, oblivious to Raegan’s whereabouts.
The notion that Mitchel’s injuries stemmed from Raegan caused her affection for Raegan to waver slightly.

She attempted to divert the conversation, only to be halted by Mitchel’s request.
“Mom, could you ask her to visit me?” Mitchel implored, his fists tightening around the quilt.
Mitchel thought Raegan had departed promptly upon Luciana’s hospital arrival, clearly eager to distance herself from the situation.
Yet, Mitchel’s desire to see Raegan persisted. He missed her so much.
Mitchel had no desire to coerce Raegan to pay him a visit. But if Luciana asked Raegan to visit him, it suggested a willingness on her part to meet him.
Mitchel’s discomfort was palpable as he grappled with his own humility, deceiving even himself in his introspection.
Luciana, taken aback by Mitchel’s words, felt a twinge of unease at his request a moment later.
Despite her fondness for Raegan, nobody could compare to Mitchel, especially when it involved life-and-death situations.
