Those words were like a long iron nail in her heart, making her feel ashamed of herself.
She was determined not to let herself become embroiled in other people’s relationships.
With that resolve in mind, Raegan pinched her thigh secretly, fighting the urge to succumb to the situation.
No one seemed to consider her feelings or reputation. But she had to do it for herself.
Taking a deep breath, she asked, “How much does hiring a nursing worker cost? I can cover the expenses until you leave the hospital.”

Mitchel’s eyes darkened when he heard her words.
He stared at her intently and asked with a frown, “You think I care about the money?”
Raegan understood his frustration but needed to make her stance clear.
She said seriously, “We shouldn’t complicate things further. Keeping our distance is better for both of us.”
Mitchel’s expression changed, anger evident in his eyes.
“So, you are here to cut ties with me?”
When he spoke, he concentrated his gaze on her.
His gaze bore into her, hoping to hear her deny it. He wanted her to say she came because she was worried about him and to explain her late arrival.
Mitchel’s penetrating stare was especially stifling to Raegan.
She replied casually, “If that’s what you want to believe.”
A heavy silence settled over the room.
After a prolonged pause, a bitter sneer escaped Mitchel’s lips.

“If you are so keen on compensating me, why not factor in my life? I want to know how much it’s worth in your eyes.”
Raegan looked into Mitchel’s deep-set eyes. She clenched her fists tightly and said in a voice that was almost pleading, “Mitchel, do you really have to make things difficult for me? You know I don’t have that much money.”
Between them, it was obviously easier for Mitchel to distance himself from her.
So, Raegan didn’t understand why he had to do this to her.
Mitchel was angered by Raegan’s words. He was almost out of breath, and his wound seemed to be stimulated. He was in pain.
He gritted his teeth and said coldly, “If you don’t have that much money, why don’t you sell yourself to me to pay off your debts?”
The overflowing anger in his heart made him say such harsh words.
