Luciana hurried after Mitchel, trying once more to convince him, “Mitchel…”
Mitchel stopped in his tracks.
Luciana pleaded, “Mitchel, can’t you be a bit more understanding? I’m not getting any younger and I really want a grandchild. Katie is great in all aspects, and she seems to be quite supportive of your career. Haven’t you noticed the company doing better these last two years? You…”
“Mom!” Mitchel cut her off. “That kid has nothing to do with me.”
Luciana was stunned. There didn’t seem to be any reason for Mitchel to lie, especially since the paternity test used samples were collected by her. She went through the test with Katie herself. It seemed impossible for it to be wrong.
“Mitchel, don’t be too quick to dismiss this. If it turns out you’re wrong, you’re going to regret it…” Luciana stated.
“I’m absolutely certain I’m not wrong.” Mitchel looked at Luciana firmly, insisting, “Katie is not what you think.”
Luciana accused, “You’re just biased against Katie.”
Mitchel handed Luciana the medicine box. “Did Katie give you this?”
Luciana hesitated, guiltily denying, “No, it’s something I’ve been taking for my health.”
Mitchel didn’t push Luciana further but clarified, “This is a medicine for Category A psychiatric conditions. It helps them, but for someone healthy, it can lead to confusion, hallucinations, and delusions.”
Luciana was startled. “No, how could it be…”
“Go ahead and have it tested yourself if you don’t believe me.”
Mitchel warned, “You should stop using it and be careful with anything Katie gives you to eat.”
“I… It wasn’t Katie who gave it to me,” Luciana insisted.

Mitchel’s gaze conveyed a mix of disappointment and detachment. He simply remarked, “I just hope you don’t end up regretting this.”
With that, he turned and left.
Luciana stood there, her hands shaking. Despite her relatively robust condition, she had been on psychiatric meds for such a long time under the instruction of the so-called doctor Katie had introduced to her.
Luciana break out into cold perspiration. No wonder her thoughts were always so jumbled since taking the medicine, leading her to act against her own desires. If Mitchel was speaking the truth, that suggested Katie had been tricking her all this time. She swallowed hard, wondering the harm she had done to Mitchel and and Raegan.
Just then, after consulting Henley, Katie returned and walked up to Luciana, who seemed lost in thought. “Luciana, are you alright?” she inquired gently.
“Nothing, it’s just my hands… They’re not cooperating,” Luciana fumbled for words to reply, keeping her thoughts to herself.
Katie didn’t think much of it, assuming it was merely side effects from the medicine. Holding Luciana’s hand, she said softly, “Luciana, I really need you to have a word with Mitchel for me. He’s completely taken with Raegan now. He’s not thinking straight. Please, talk to Mitchel for his future’s sake!”
Her mind in chaos, Luciana nodded absentmindedly. “Okay, I get it. I’ll have a chat with him.”
“Please do it today. I bet Mitchel’s with Raegan right this minute,”
