How much blood was lost to saturate a pair of pure black pants?
Raegan’s face drained of color as a wave of pain and anguish washed over her.
This was unlike the guilt and self-blame she felt when she feared Henley would sacrifice himself to save her.

With Mitchel, however, it was different. Her heart had already softened into a warm, flowing current when he bravely stepped in to save her.
He had put his life on the line not once but twice for her. Any lingering resentment from their past seemed to dissolve because of his sacrifice.
Moreover, in those moments when she thought she would die, the only person she wanted to say goodbye to was Mitchel.
At least he was the last person she saw before she died. To Reagan, that was enough.

Raegan felt a sharp pain in her nose. She longed to reach out and support him. But when she extended her fingertips, Mitchel coldly brushed them away.

“Could you give me updates on his condition at the hospital?”
She tried to control the cracks in her voice.

Raegan was treated in the ambulance, and once she was done, she was taken to the police station to give her statement.
The evidence of Tessa’s kidnapping was pretty clear. Raegan quickly gave her statement and left the station.

She arrived at the hospital and called Matteo but he didn’t pick up.
