Matteo recalled what Raegan had said and recounted it to Mitchel verbatim.
“She said, ‘Isn’t he in the hospital? Why call me? I’m not a doctor. You’d be better off calling Luis. And, Mitchel and I are divorced. There’s no need to update me on his condition. ‘”
Matteo reported everything to Mitchel without sparing any details.
After a long, deafening silence, Mitchel bellowed, “Leave!”
The door clicked shut behind Matteo, but the sounds of distress from within the room reached him nonetheless.
He sighed deeply and mused on the perils of love. From what he had witnessed, he vowed to avoid marriage himself.
Meanwhile, after returning to her house in Crystal Bay, Raegan did not go out for a whole week.
The hospital had not been a place of rest for her. But now that the divorce was over and she was in her own space, she surrendered to sleep. She indulged in a carefree lifestyle, eating just once a day, and spent most of the past three days sleeping.
As the days slipped by, Raegan turned her attention to unresolved matters. She reached out to Cara and informed the latter she could no longer work for her studio.

Cara tried to persuade Raegan to reconsider. Raegan, however, remained steadfast. It was not that she did not want to, but because she figured it was impractical for her to work, given her injured right hand.
Her hand’s recovery remained a question mark. A designer was supposed to pour time and energy into her crafts. Sadly, her right hand might just fall short of what the job demanded.
Upon learning of Raegan’s injured hand, Cara expressed her understanding and assured Raegan that the door would always remain open for her.
In the following days, Raegan, unwilling to be idle, began searching for jobs online. She narrowed her options to two potential paths: a translation service and a renowned educational institution.
Both fields seemed accessible to her in her current condition.
Upon hearing of Raegan’s divorce, Nicole reached out. Nicole expressed her frustration of being previously barred from visiting Raegan by Mitchel’s overzealous bodyguards.
Once Nicole learned from a doctor acquainted with her that Raegan had been discharged, she called Raegan at once.
Raegan said she wanted to just stay home and take a _ rest.
Nevertheless, a week later, Nicole arrived at her doorstep, determined to whisk Raegan away to celebrate.
The celebration venue was, of course, in the bar.
Nicole indulged in her usual fare. Raegan, feeling more like herself again, joined in with a selection of cocktails.

Several drinks deep, Nicole’s emotions spilled over. She clung to Raegan and cried, “How could you even think of jumping off a building for that jerk? He’s not worth your life!”
When Nicole recalled the doctor’s alarming update, she felt her heart lurch with fear.
To ease Nicole’s distress, Raegan shared the truth.
“I didn’t intend to jump. It was just the quickest route to divorce I could think of.
