And how am I not a man? Bryce smirked, his arrogance palpable.
Does being a man mean swallowing my pride? Look, you could sleep with three thousand men, and it wouldnt affect me because were not together. Got that?
Fuming, Eloise stomped her foot. Watch me do it now!
She whirled around and added, Not three thousand, but thirty thousand! Im heading to the bar this instant to find someone!
Bryce responded coolly, Go ahead. But remember, bars around arent that large. Finding thirty thousand men will be challenging.
Eloise paused, her voice tinged with triumph. I knew it! You cant stand to see me go
With a nonchalant gesture, Bryce explained, Just saying, you might need to check out a few more bars. One wont be enough.
Dumbstruck, Eloise was left speechless. You!
Overcome with rage, she covered her face and dashed away.
As Eloise rushed past Raegan, she was too distraught to recognize Raegan, tears streaming down her face.
Bryce, too, departed without looking back, heading in the opposite direction.
Raegan watched, her brow furrowed in disbelief. There was something between Eloise and Bryce Then what about Mitchel? Could it be that Eloise was merely using Mitchel to provoke Bryce? She felt a pang of sympathy for Mitchel, never expecting him to be exploited as a pawn in someone elses game.
Back in her room, after tending to the babies, Erick arrived and shared the news that arrangements were all set.

Their strategy was to entice Davey out during Raegans babies one-month celebration.
To ensure the babies safety, they planned to discreetly relocate them to Landens home before carrying out their plan.
Landen had already escorted Janey back to Ardlens, a place known for its stringent gun laws and increased safety.
Raegan had consented to this arrangement to focus on rescuing her mother without concerns.

As the central figure of her babies one-month celebration, Raegan had no choice but to attend, which meant her babies had to settle for formula for a few days.
Reflecting on the scene she had just witnessed involving Eloise, Raegan shared the details with Erick. She questioned, Erick, dont you think you should warn Mitchel to check on Eloise, just in case? After all, since Eloise has tagged along to here, it would reflect poorly on Mitchel if anything were to happen to her, especially in explaining things to the Benton family.
Erick was momentarily stunned. He hadnt yet discussed Mitchels situation with Raegan.
Mitchel had been in a coma for five days due to severe blood loss.
Although they had eventually managed a transfusion for him, it was somewhat delayed. His condition had deteriorated, leading to joint complications diagnosed as a chronic disease by the doctor.
The doctors prognosis was grim, suggesting Mitchel would likely rely on crutches for life. The likelihood of a complete recovery was minimal.
The doctor felt particularly remorseful because, given Mitchels robust recovery from previous surgeries, he should have regained full mobility.
