She didn’t want to be touched by him like this since their divorce was in the works.
Mitchel loosened his hold on her a little. His arms remained wrapped around her as if he was scared she would be taken away from him.
Several minutes later, Matteo walked into the ward to inform them the discharge procedures were completed.
The doctor had certified Raegan free to go home since she kicked against an infusion for the sake of the baby in her belly.

Fortunately, the wounds weren’t deep in her tendons or veins, so it would be easy for her to heal at home.
When Mitchel finally broke the hug, he slipped his right arm to her back and lifted her up gently.
Raegan almost jumped. She pushed him away, embarrassed as she felt Matteo’s gaze on her.
“Don’t move.”
Sensing what she was up to, Mitchel cautioned her in a voice that left no room for objections.
Raegan wasn’t as strong as before due to her injured hand, so she didn’t break free from him. A few seconds after she ceased to struggle, something occurred to her.
Hospitals were flooded with people and they might stop and stare at them if Mitchel continued to carry her in his arms and walked out of the ward. She didn’t want to be the center of attention.

With her heart thumping and her face flushing, she whispered, “Put me down. I can walk.”
She hurt her right hand, not her legs.
“No.” Mitchel refused directly and added a threat for good measure.
“If you struggle even a little, I’ll ki*s you.”
Raegan’s cheeks burn hot. She shut up and nibbled on her lower lip.
“Tsk!” Mitchel tut-tutted and uttered in a low voice, “Are you that afraid of me ki*sing you?”
Raegan was short of words. She imagined stuffing her bandaged hand in his mouth. How could he suddenly be so talkative?
On the way, Raegan buried her head in his chest like a baby who was scared of lightning.
Her behavior softened Mitchel’s heart. He carried her all the way to the car and gently placed her inside.
During the ride, Mitchel’s phone rang.
Raegan saw that it was a call from Lauren.
Mitchel answered the call and said a few words. Their conversation made Raegan uncomfortable. Mitchel could never ignore Lauren’s calls.
Pained, she held her bandaged hand and closed her eyes, not wanting to ponder it again. It was just an act, but she soon dozed off.
