Chapter 516
Chapter 516 You Don't Want The Child Either (Part One) Before Raegan could react, Luciana had already shoved her away.
Raegan rolled uncontrollably down the slope for several meters. She only stopped rolling when she collided with a landscape sculpture.
Despite excruciating pain in her back from the impact, Raegan clung tightly to Janey throughout, holding Janey under the protection of her arms.
The next moment, before Raegan could even blink, she heard a "bang." Luciana's body, light as a feather, was hurled into the air by the impact of the black car and then brutally slammed back to the ground.
"Ah! Ah!" Raegan's eyes were red and swollen as she screamed in agony.
The ground was soaked with big puddles of blood, and Luciana lay there, her eyes wide open, unable to shut.
"Somebody help! Is anyone here? Please, save her!" Propped against the stone sculpture, Raegan was too hurt to move, screaming hysterically for help.
The black car responsible for Luciana's injuries hadn't even stopped.
Before Raegan could cry out a second time, the black car roared aggressively, revving its engine as it charged at her again.
Suddenly, Raegan's mind went blank with a buzzing noise. The black car was heading straight toward her and
Janey! At that moment, her only thought was keeping Janey safe.
Raegan tried to leave with Janey, but the black car was visibly quicker, suddenly accelerating as it bore down on them.
A wave of fear and despair washed over Raegan. Her eyes widened in terror as she watched the black car tear across the lawn like a missile homing in on its targets, hurtling straight toward her and Janey.
At this critical moment, a black Rolls- Royce appeared! Just as the black car was about to strike, the Rolls-Royce surged from the slope, accelerating rapidly with a thunderous roar.
The black car broke into two pieces right in the air.
"Bang!" The black car smashed into the ground. The people inside died instantly! The black Rolls-Royce settled smoothly onto the wetland. Apart from its front bumper coming off, there seemed to be no serious damage.
Raegan and Janey escaped harm.
Raegan stared at the striking license plate on the black Rolls-Royce. For a moment, her mind was a whirlwind of fireworks. This license plate... This license plate hasn't been on the road since Mitchel disappeared. How could this be? Raegan was skeptical as the car door opened, yet she couldn't help but feel a flicker of hope.
A pair of black leather shoes appeared first, followed by the figure of a man
emerging steadily.
Suddenly, Raegan felt like someone had violently pulled her heart out of her chest. Tears began to flow uncontrollably.
The man turned around and hurried toward the blood-soaked scene where Luciana lay, snapping Raegan out of her daze.
Luciana was seriously hurt.
Clutching Janey, Raegan rushed over.
Soon after, Erick arrived and saw Raegan with Janey. He extended his hand and said, "Give me the child." Raegan handed Janey to Erick and managed to say, "Erick, look..." Just then, the man picked up the bloodied Luciana and boarded the ambulance.
Erick was shocked at the sight of Mitchel. Concerned about Luciana, Raegan hurriedly asked Erick, "Erick, could you look after Janey? I have to go see how Luciana is doing." Erick nodded and responded, "Go ahead." Mitchel had entered the ambulance.
Raegan hurriedly called out before the doors shut, "Please wait! Can I come with you?" The ambulance that arrived was spacious, so accommodating one more person was no issue.
The medical team hesitated briefly, exchanging glances between Raegan and Mitchel.
Raegan stared at Mitchel, his face still familiar. He seemed thinner than before, his sharp facial features giving
him a more intense appearance.
Just as Raegan was about to say something, Mitchel's stern voice interrupted, "Close the door." Of course, Mitchel wasn't talking to Raegan. He was talking to the medical staff nearby.
With a slight apologetic gesture, the medical staff shut the door.
Raegan stood frozen until the ambulance's siren sound faded into the distance. She remained unmoved.
Erick was initially prepared to leave with Janey. Seeing Raegan motionless, he quickly exited the vehicle and approached her. "Raegan." Raegan stood frozen as if she hadn't heard a thing. Her hand was cut, and blood dripped onto the ground.
Erick reached out, pulled Raegan close, and asked with concern, "When did you hurt your hand?" Exhaustion washed over Raegan as she leaned into Erick's embrace, her voice shaking. "Erick, I'm so scared. Mitchel seems not to recognize me anymore." Erick's heart tightened, and he reassured her, "He's probably just concerned about his mother. Don't worry too much." Raegan nodded, yet she couldn't shake the feeling of distance and unfamiliarity in Mitchel's eyes.
Erick's expression grew thoughtful as he suggested, "Let's head to the hospital first." Upon reaching the hospital, they found Janey was perfectly fine, showing no signs of distress.
Relieved, Raegan quickly headed to wait outside Luciana's ICU. Upon arriving, she spotted Mitchel standing there. © A sudden wave of shyness and homesickness overwhelmed Raegan, causing her to hesitate before approaching Mitchel, her feet glued to the floor. After a moment's hesitation, she finally called out, "Mitchel..." Mitchel looked over, his expression cold and distant.
Though it was still early autumn, Raegan felt a sudden chill. She wondered if it was just the norm for this part of the hospital, where the emergency room was situated.
Raegan looked at Mitchel with hopeful eyes. "Luciana will be okay. Don't worry..."
"Enough," Mitchel responded sharply.
Then, he pivoted, keeping his gaze locked on the operating room doors.
The hope in Raegan's eyes vanished instantly. She was puzzled by his words. A rare wave of anxiety washed over her, but she mustered her courage and stepped forward, reaching out to touch Mitchel's arm. "Mitchel, are you alright? You..." As soon as she spoke, he lifted his arm and brushed hers away.
Already weakened by exhaustion, Raegan staggered several steps, even though he hadn't pushed hard.
Struggling to regain her balance, Raegan looked up at his distant, indifferent face, and her first thought was whether he suffered from amnesia. Perhaps Mitchel had bumped
his head like she did last time and forgotten everything.
Clinging to this hope, Raegan tried to reconnect in the warm, familiar way they used to talk. "Mitchel, don’t you recognize me? I am..." When Raegan caught Mitchel's ambiguous look, she abruptly stopped talking. His stare had a chilly, almost mocking quality. Raegan couldn't understand why he looked at her this way.
with a slight curl of his thin lips, Mitchel said, "Miss Foster?" His voice echoed in the chilly, deserted hallway, making Raegan shiver.
Raegan's heart sank as if plummeting from a great height. If he hadn't forgotten everything, why was he talking to her so coldly and distantly?
Her voice trembled. "Why are you..." "Miss Foster, my mother is fighting for her life because she saved you. What do you think my reasons are?" Mitchel's words were icy, showing no desire to see her. "Please leave now," he stated.
