At West Lake Villa.
Reaching the entrance, Raegan saw Annis pacing the yard, holding Janey. Annis was gently patting Janey’s back, trying to soothe her.
Seeing this, Raegan rushed over, calling out, “Janey!”
Janey cried, “Mommy…”
Janey’s face was red as if she had been crying for a long while. Her long eyelashes were dry and stuck together, giving her a pitiful appearance.

Raegan’s heart ached as she extended her hands to embrace Janey.
“Janey!” Mitchel’s voice was laden with sorrow as he called out to Janey.
When Janey caught sight of Mitchel, her eyes grew wide and bright.
She cried harder, “Daddy, you’re still here…”
Mitchel reached out to embrace Janey, smiling. He reassured her, “Daddy’s fine, not that easy to break.”
Janey clung to Mitchel’s neck, scanning him from head to toe through her tearful eyes. She seemed to be checking whether Mitchel was hurt.
Raegan watched this, feeling a twinge of sadness. Once, Janey only had eyes for her. Now, Janey was showing concern for Mitchel.
Though Raegan was aware of Janey’s unwavering love for her, a hint of jealousy crept in. She found herself standing still, recognizing the cause of her jealousy.
Raegan pondered whether she should allow Janey to grow so attached to Mitchel. She feared if Mitchel had to make a tough decision one day, it might end up hurting Janey.
Janey scrutinized Mitchel’s face, finding no faults, which lightened her spirits. She joyfully placed her hands on Mitchel’s cheeks and planted a big ki*s on his face.
Mitchel’s heart swelled with joy.

Janey inquired, “Daddy, why did you collapse earlier?”
“I didn’t eat enough and fainted because of the lack of strength.
Remember, Janey, eating on time is important…” Carrying Janey, Mitchel walked inside, his expression serious as he said softly.
As they moved inside, Mitchel whispered something to Janey that made her giggle.
Annis observed, somewhat amazed. “Mr. Dixon has a real knack for bonding with kids. I tried to cheer Janey up for so long in vain.”
Raegan’s brow furrowed upon hearing this. Sometimes, the bond of family was undeniable. Janey had many male figures in her life, Like Erick, Stefan, and her grandpa… Despite the affection from these men, Mitchel held a special place in her heart. Their bond seemed natural and effortless. Was it true, as Janey’s psychologist suggested, that a father’s love was irreplaceable, despite the presence of other caring male figures?
Yet, Raegan recalled the psychologist had pointed out children would likely thrive under the care of loving parents. With so many misunderstandings and hurts between them, how could they possibly nurture love again?
