Chapter 56
Did You Do This To Her Seeing Lauren''s irritation, Raegan felt a wave of satisfaction wash over her.
There was something enjoyable about seeing Lauren riled up yet powerless to do anything about it.
Livid, Lauren gripped her bag’s strap until her knuckles turned white.
But in a blink, her expression changed, and she put on a smile.
"Fine, I''lle clean.
Previously, I only said those things to get under your skin.
The truth is, Mitchel cherishes me so much.
He''s promised to wait until our wedding night before we make love.
He wants it to be solemn and special." Lauren was confident that Raegan would not verify her words.
After all, nobody could prove she had ever said them.
If Raegan did ask Mitchel about it, Lauren could just say Raegan was trying to frame her.
At this moment, Lauren slowly moved closer to Raegan and continued, "The only reason Mitchel
sleeps with you is that he’s a neat freak.
Don''t tter yourself.
You''re just a tool to satisfy his sexual needs." Raegan''s face drained of color but she stayed silent.
Lauren''s eyes then darted to Raegan''s belly, and she added, "By the way, do you know why Mitchel
doesn''t want kids?” Raegan froze.
"What do you mean?" Lauren had always had a knack for reading people, and Raegan''s reaction told
her she had hit the bull’s- eye.
Lauren spected that Raegan had not told Mitchel she was pregnant because he would, for sure,
despise the baby.
Even though she did not know why Mitchel was against the idea of having his own children, it was
enough to prove he did not love Raegan.
"That''s because Mitchel told me he''d only have a child with me.
He didn''t want to have a baby with you.
He''s just waiting for me to give birth to our children,” Lauren said with a triumphant smile.
Upon hearing this, Raegan felt as if she had been hit by a ton of bricks.
So Mitchel’s refusal to have a child was because he would only be a father with the woman he
truly loved.
Even though Raegan had been telling herself she was over Mitchel, Lauren''s words still stung.
"You really should face the reality sooner rather thanter.
Don''t think having a baby gives you any leverage.
The bastard of a scheming bitch like you would only have...” Before Lauren could finish her sentence,
Raegan''s hand flew up.
p! Shended a solid p across Lauren''s face.
"If you ever speak ill of me and my child again, I won''t hesitate to shut your mouth for good," Raegan
warned.
She could tolerate Lauren''s harsh words.
But talking trash about her unborn child was a line nobody could cross, especially not Lauren.
Lauren was stunned by the p.
She had never been pped before.
Raegan''s audacity sent her into a rage.
How dare this bitchy a finger on her! "You bitch, I''ll fucking kill you! I should''ve finished you off at that
party!" Lauren, unhinged, swung her purse at Raegan''s face.
Raegan dodged, but the purse''s zipper grazed her cheek, causing a stinging pain.
The next second, Raegan seized Lauren''s wrist and gave her another p to her face.
Raegan might not be the strongest, but she was more than a match for the pampered and frail Lauren.
With her eyes narrowed, Raegan dered, "Try setting me up again, and I swear I''ll never let you go.”
As she pondered the events of that fateful day, she could not shake the feeling that Lauren had
something to do with it.
Maybe Lauren had found out about her pregnancy and plotted with Tessa to get rid of both her and the
baby.
That being the case, showing weakness in front of Lauren would be like waving a red g in front of a
bull.
It would just make Lauren think she was a pushover and embolden Lauren to strike again.
With tears streaming down her face from the stinging p, Lauren feigned innocence.
“What are you even talking about? When have I ever set you up?" "Take this as a warning,” Raegan
said with a sneer.
"Leave me be, and I''ll do the same thing.
But cross me again, and I''ll drag you down in mes." The malice in Raegan’s eyes sent a shiver down
Lauren''s spine.
Having made her point, Raegan shook her hand fiercely and didn’t want to tangle with Lauren
anymore.
Just as Raegan was about to leave, Lauren lunged at Raegan, intent on wing thetter’s face.
But before Lauren could make a move, she noticed Mitchel approaching.
Lauren instantly loosened her grip, and Raegan seized this opportunity to push Lauren away.
"Ah! No!" Lauren screamed.
The next moment, the back of her head hit the railing with a thud.
It looked like Lauren was hurt pretty badly.
Raegan turned around and found Mitchel walking their way.
His gaze was icy and filled with silent judgment.
Lauren seized the moment to y the victim.
Fresh tears poured from her eyes, and she cried, "It hurts, Mitchel..." Mitchel stopped in front of
Raegan and questioned, "You did this to her?" Staring into Mitchel''s icy visage, Raegan found it difficult
to breathe.
It was obvious that he had already painted her as the viin in his mind.
He used her of deliberately hurting Lauren without even asking about what had happened.
Disappointed, Raegan felt no need to justify herself.
"Yes, I did," Raegan replied without offering any exnation.
Mitchel locked eyes with her as if trying to see through her soul.
Meanwhile, Raegan held her gaze and was unflinching.
Unable to wait any longer, Lauren let out a cry again.
"Mitchel, it hurts...
It hurts like hell..." Mitchel shifted his attention away from Raegan.
He then lifted Lauren off the ground and turned around to leave.
"Mitchel!" Raegan called out.
Mitchel stopped in his tracks and turned around to face her.
Raegan tried to maintain herposure and, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, whispered, "Don''t
go.” As their gazes met, Mitchel frowned and emotionlessly said, "Go back to the ward.
I''ll be back soon." Raegan''s lips curled into a bitter smile, and a look of disappointment shed across
her face.
"You just told me you didn''t want a divorce." Was he going to overturn his words that easily? Why raise
her hopes only to shatter them himself? Did he not care about her feelings? Did it not matter to him if
she was hurt? Lauren''s face was distorted with anger.
Even so, she tried her best to restrain herself and sobbed in Mitchel''s arms.
"Mitchel, my head hurts so much.
Am I going to die?” Mitchel paused for a brief moment and finally said to Raegan, "Wait for me in the
ward." Raegan felt as if her heart had shattered into a million pieces.
Mitchel shifted his attention away from Raegan.
He then lifted Lauren off the ground and turned around to leave.
"Mitchel!" Raegan called out.
Mitchel stopped in his tracks and turned around to face her.
Raegan tried to maintain herposure and, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, whispered, "Don''t

"Mitchel, my head hurts so much.
Am I going to die?” Mitchel paused for a brief moment and finally said to Raegan, "Wait for me in the
ward." Raegan felt as if her heart had shattered into a million pieces.
Although tears filled her eyes, she fought to keep them in check and said with steely determination, "I
won''t wait for you, Mitchel.
If you leave now, consider us over.” Mitchel''s face turned icy.
Ultimatums had never sat well with him.
Right then, Lauren''s face paled, and her body quivered.
Without another word, Mitchel walked away.
As he left, a gust of wind whipped through, and Raegan burst into tears.
With her face marred with tears, she mustered a bitter smile.
She could not help butugh at herself.
How could she ce herself too high in Mitchel''s heart? Raegan walked forward, lost in her thoughts.
Out of nowhere, a young boy burst from the opposite direction and collided with her.
He darted off without so much as an apology.
Suddenly, a sharp pain erupted in Raegan''s belly.
Her face turned ghostly pale.
She squatted down, and it was so painful that she curled up in agony.
"Raegan?” A gentle voice of a man pulled her back to reality.
Raegan lifting her head and saw a familiar face.
"Henley..." But before she could say anything else, her vision blurred, and everything went ck.
"Raegan!" Henley immediately scooped her up and bolted toward the emergency room.
