However, Mitchel disregarded Matteo’s advice. He pushed past him with determination and knelt down by the covered body.
Mitchel seemed outwardly calm, but his inner turmoil was evident in the way he dismissed Matteo.

Seeing Mitchel in distress, Matteo tried to intervene once more.
“Mr. Dixon…”
Mitchel paid no heed and reached out his hand to the black fabric.
His fingers trembled as they inched closer. A few agonizing seconds later, he finally grasped the corner of the cloth.

“Mr. Dixon…” Matteo rushed forward to support him.

Mitchel’s intense reaction was one of immense relief. He looked Like someone who had walked through hell only to find a sudden ray of hope.

“Raegan…”
Raegan shifted her gaze back to Henley and worriedly asked, “Henley, how are you feeling?”
Henley mustered a smile, but blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. The severity of his internal injuries, if any, remained unknown.
“I’m fine… If something happens to me, can you take care of my parents?
“You’ll be fine!” Raegan firmly disagreed with tears cascading down her cheeks.
“Henley, you’re going to be okay. I know it…”
