Matteo rushed to assess Mitchel’s condition, finding the latter’s heartbeat weak and his breathing shallow. With hands trembling, he quickly returned to the driver’s seat and sped toward the hospital.
Meanwhile, Raegan sat pale and withdrawn in the back seat.
After giving her a glass of warm water and gently coaxing her to drink, Erick asked with concern, “Are you still feeling unwell? Hold on. We’ll be at the hospital soon.”
The image of Mitchel, his upper body soaked in blood, remained vivid in Raegan’s mind. A sharp pang of pain struck her heart. In a feeble voice, she murmured, “Erick, I think I’m starting to remember something…”
“Do you remember anything after falling into the river?” Erick asked, his eyes lighting up with hope.
At that time, Raegan had been taken to a hospital overseen by the Foster family, her body covered in injuries. An anonymous message had informed Erick of Raegan’s identity. Filled with doubt, Erick arranged for a DNA test on Raegan. To his astonishment, the results confirmed she was his long-lost little sister.
Yet, the identity of the person who had brought Raegan to the hospital and how the other party knew her identity remained a mystery.
Most pressing was Erick’s suspicion that the other party might be connected to his mother’s disappearance or, at the very least, knew something about it. He was determined to uncover the truth.
Raegan massaged her temples, attempting to piece together her memories. She recalled the sound of shattering glass and the sensation of being pulled to safety after her fall into the river.
The rescuer’s eyes seemed dark and familiar, but his face remained a blur.
The effort to recall caused Raegan intense discomfort. Her head throbbed violently, her breathing became labored, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
“Raegan! Raegan!” Erick called out in alarm, witnessing her struggle for air. Swiftly, he retrieved an oxygen bottle from the car’s emergency kit and connected it to her.
As Raegan began to stabilize, her complexion remained deathly pale from the ordeal. With a voice tinged with regret, she confessed, “Erick, I’m sorry. I couldn’t make out his face clearly…”
Despite her efforts, the fragments of her memory refused to coalesce further. Her mind felt as empty as a machine that had burned out.

Erick’s heart dropped at the sight. Gently patting Raegan’s back, he reassured her, “It doesn’t matter. You don’t need to think about it anymore.”
The sight of Raegan in distress was more than he could stand.
Clearly, the well-being of his sister outweighed the hidden truths in his heart.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Raegan underwent a comprehensive examination. The results showed she was as healthy as before, except for the injury to her head, which caused nerve pain and disrupted her memories. The doctor recommended allowing time to heal her wounds, advising against forcing her to recall the past if it proved too difficult.
Raegan was not severely hurt and soon felt rejuvenated after some rest. It was then that Mitchel came to mind.
Raegan had left abruptly earlier due to a sudden headache and wondered how he was faring, especially considering the injuries he sustained at the hands of her brother. Raegan couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt. If she hadn’t stopped Mitchel from defending himself, he might not have been so badly injured.
Mitchel wasn’t typically one to yield so easily, yet he had submitted to her wishes, intensifying her remorse. Overwhelmed by guilt, she eventually reached for her phone to call him. Despite several attempts, her calls went unanswered.
After some thought, Raegan’s worry intensified. Could Mitchel be in a coma? She hastily looked up Matteo’s number and dialed it.
Matteo picked up promptly, his voice tinged with surprise. “Raegan?”
Without wasting time, Raegan got straight to the point. “Is Mitchel okay? I tried calling him, but got no response.”
