She cares about me…”
Even though he spoke in broken phrases, it was a tremendous struggle for Henley to articulate his words.
After saying that, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Henley looked at Mitchel, a weak smile on his lips, whispering something inaudible to others.
Then, Mitchel’s expression turned cold, his aura intimidating.
Mitchel glared at Henley and hissed, “You brought this on yourself.”
Mitchel then spun around, his intense gaze locking onto Raegan.
Caught off guard by his stare, Raegan stood rooted to the spot.
He strode toward Raegan, gripping her shoulder firmly, and swiftly led her to his car.
“Ouch…” Raegan winced in pain. “Mitchel, where are we going?”
Mitchel’s hold softened, but he firmly grasped her hand, his voice stern, “Get in the car.”
His expression was stern and unyielding as he addressed her.
Raegan, concerned for Henley, resisted, “We can’t leave Henley like this.
Please, Mitchel, help him…”

After a pause, he scoffed, “Raegan, do you think I’m an idiot? You expect me to save him after everything?”
Raegan froze at Mitchel’s icy demeanor.
Hesitating momentarily, Raegan reached for the door, intent on leaving. But Mitchel halted her escape.
Mitchel’s gaze, icy and penetrating, unnerved her. “Do you really find it so hard to leave him?” he asked, a sharp edge in his voice.
“No, it’s not that,” Raegan replied, shaking her head. “I just can’t abandon him like this.”
