When Mitchel regained consciousness, everything seemed a bit unreal.
With his pale face, he blinked, adjusting to the brightness in the room, instinctively looking around for Raegan. But only Matteo’s dark shadow appeared before Mitchel.
“Mr. Dixon, you’re awake!” Matteo exclaimed in surprise.
“Um…” Maybe because he hadn’t spoken in days, Mitchel’s voice came out hoarse and barely recognizable.
“That’s great!” Matteo was so excited he was on the verge of tears.
If Mitchel had not woken up today, Matteo would not have been able to keep going. Ultimately, there were piles of documents to handle, and while Matteo could keep Mitchel’s coma a secret, he couldn’t make choices on Mitchel’s behalf.
“Mr. Dixon, regarding that injection fluid, it’s…”
Just as Matteo was about to bring up the syringe, Mitchel cut him off. “Raegan… How’s she doing?”
Mitchel cared little about his own condition. Instead and was deadly worried about Raegan. After all, the memory of Raegan suffering in his embrace that day caused an unbearable ache in his heart.
Observing Mitchel’s anxious look, Matteo stayed quiet for a moment before saying, “She is in good health. You don’t have to worry about her.”
Mitchel appeared somewhat doubtful as he persisted, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, Mr. Dixon.” Matteo glanced at Mitchel’s pale face, feeling sad.

He choked up a bit and said, “I visit her every day, and the doctors have assured me everything’s fine.”

While Raegan was doing well, Mitchel didn’t wake up until now. Matteo couldn’t shake off the unease regarding the content of the the syringe. Lauren appeared to have lost it back then.
“Mr. Dixon, about that syringe…” Matteo started to recount the whole story.
Mitchel popped himself up. He moved his arms and wiggled his toes effortlessly. Apart from the numbness in his limbs before, it appeared there were no other effects on his body.
Matteo explained, “The police think Lauren might have occasional schizophrenia. It’s likely she meant to fill the syringe with poison but ended up using the wrong one by mistake.”
For now, this was the only speculation. After all, there was no other evidence to be found.
Mitchel didn’t dwell on it, especially since he didn’t feel anything wrong with his body.
But when Matteo brought up Lauren possibly having schizophrenia, Mitchel’s brow furrowed slightly as he asked, “Are you certain about her having schizophrenia?”
“Yes, it has been confirmed. Three separate evaluations, including one from our own medical team,” Matteo hurriedly responded, understanding Mitchel’s concern. “Don’t worry. Lauren was in her right mind during the incident, so she won’t get away with it.”
Given the gravity of Lauren’s offenses, there was no escaping severe punishment.
Furthermore, even if her actions were influenced by schizophrenia at that time, someone this dangerous would still be sentenced to life imprisonment.
“What’s the news on Raegan?” Mitchel glanced at Matteo and asked, “When did Raegan wake up?”
