She began to retch uncontrollably.
The nurse and Henley looked on in shock.
“I’m sorry,” Raegan hurriedly said.
“I might have eaten something that didn’t agree with me.”
As she spoke, her stomach revolted again, compelling her to dash to the bathroom and empty its contents.
From the bathroom, the sounds of her vomiting left the nurse at a loss for words.
Henley’s expression turned grim. Did he repulse Raegan in some way?

Raegan convinced herself that her discomfort was likely due to the food she had consumed at lunch, which hadn’t agreed with her stomach.
After leaving the bathroom, she noticed the nurse had finished changing Henley’s dressing and a fan was now on, circulating air throughout the ward.

“I’m okay,” Raegan assured him, shaking her head.
“It was probably just something I ate at lunch. I’ll feel better soon.”
Henley’s expression grew more troubled as he observed her pallid complexion.

Raegan and Henley traveled in a specially equipped rescue vehicle to the airport.
As Raegan gazed out the window during the journey, a sense of heaviness filled her heart.
She hadn’t seen Mitchel since their last encounter. Later, she caught the Dixon Group’s official statement on television.
The situation seemed dire, with Mitchel engulfed in the midst of it all.
Raegan felt like an outsider, able only to watch the news, powerless to assist Mitchel in his time of need.
She became increasingly aware of the vast chasm between herself and Mitchel, feeling her world drifting farther from his.
Henley, reclining on his side, watched Raegan intently, his gaze deep and unreadable.
Ever since he discovered Raegan was the little girl from his past, Henley noticed a change in himself. He had become possessive, almost obsessive.
