Chapter 518 Pregnant With Twins (Part One) Mitchel''s expression was nk, as if he hadn''t heard a word Luis had said, or perhaps he simply didn''t care about Janey.


    Luis sighed softly, clearly defeated. "I can''t believe it. You must have some n." Luis paused and then continued, "I''ll travel abroad tomorrow to study this toxin with Mae. Don''t overdo it. I promised I wouldn''t let you die. I''ll go to any lengths, even if it means digging three feet into the earth, to find the doctor who created this toxin and obtain the antidote. We will surely find a cure,"


    Mitchel''s face remained stoic as if the dire circumstances Luis described were of no concern to him.


    Frustrated, Luis had no certainty of finding the cure despite his words.


    That was why he told Raegan to move on in the elevator. Being friends, he didn''t want either Raegan or Mitchel to get hurt.


    Even Luis thought this way, let alone the astute Mitchel.


    Luis took a cigarette from the stainless steel case in Mitchel''s hand, lit it, and whispered, "Mitchel, I know I''m not the one involved, and it''s not my ce to judge. I understand you''re trying to do what you believe is best for Raegan.


    But have you ever considered whether it''s truly the best for her?"  With the cigarette hanging from his


    mouth, Luis continued without waiting for a reply, "When you were out cold in bed, I tried calling your name, but you wouldn''t stir. Then, I said to you that Raegan had left with another man, and you shot up awake immediately. See, even in aa, your subconscious stays faithful to her. I think Raegan can handle the truth."  Mitchel put another cigarette in Luis'' mouth, his tone frosty. "Can you stop talking now?"  Caught off guard, Luis began to cough nonstop.


    "Damn!" Luis blurted out, "Are you trying to kill me with nicotine so I''ll join you in death?"  It started as a simple joke, but then Luis abruptly fell silent. Seeing Mitchel''s indifferent face, he clicked


    his tongue and muttered, "I shouldn''t  have said so!"  Luis was not good at keeping secrets.


    He held up two fingers and promised,  "I''m catching an early flight tomorrow.


    You won''t see me for a while."  Luis expected Mitchel to respond with some sharp banter, as they often teased each other over the years.


    But surprisingly, Mitchel simply said in a clear, frosty tone, "Thank you."  Luis was taken aback. The "thank you" from Mitchel carried significant weight.


    If it wasn''t for Luis, even if Mitchel had escaped the explosion, he might not have made it. He had been resolute then, unsure if he would make it through the final moments.


    Fortunately, Mitchel managed thest thirty seconds well. The car had plunged into the sea, and due to the immense water pressure, one could detach from the seat without setting off the explosives.


    Mitchel seized the chance to escape through the damaged sunroof, swimming vigorously toward the open sea.


    Yet, when the explosion happened, a huge wave knocked Mitchel out, andter, a fishing boat rescued him, leading him to Luis.


    By then, the toxin had already started affecting Mitchel, and his extended exposure to the cold sea had severely weakened him. Luis made a critical decision to rush Mitchel to an overseasboratory for treatment.


    "Don''t being polite with me, dude.”  Luis clutched Mitchel''s shoulder  tightly and spoke with conviction.


    "Don''t be so harsh to her. You know  who I''m referring to."  After Luis departed, the corridor  returned to silence.


    Mitchel stood under the cool moonlight, his posture straight, radiating a frosty aura.


    Matteo suggested, "Mr. Dixon, perhaps you should rest a bit?"  "You go grab some rest first," Mitchel responded in a low, hoarse voice.


    Why would Matteo go if the CEO was still here?  "Find a good child psychologist to consult," Mitchel suddenly instructed.


    Matteo paused, processed the request,


    and responded, "Okay, I''ll take care of it now."  Mitchel''s voice grew more intense, saying, "Don''t show up around them anymore. Just make the arrangement." Matteo nodded. He got that Mitchel didn''t want Raegan to know he was behind the child psychologist arrangement for Janey.


    Even though Mitchel has appeared different since his return, as his personal assistant, Matteo could still tell that Mitchel was the same person he had always been, albeit now more secretive and harder to read.


    With all the problems inside and out, keeping things low-key was crucial.


    When Raegan woke, she found Erick


    sitting by her bedside.


    "Raegan, you''re awake." Erick looked concerned.


    Raegan nodded slightly and began to sit up, but Erick quickly offered his support. "Take it easy," he said softly.


    Raegan looked up, puzzled by Erick''s carefulness. She wasn''t that delicate.


    "What''s wrong, Erick?" she asked, massaging her aching temples.


    Erick looked hesitant and then met her gaze.


    The concern in his expression made Raegan''s heart skip, and she asked anxiously, "Erick, what''s going on?"  "I need to tell you something, and you might want to brace yourself," Erick said as he handed her a medical report, taking a deep breath. "You''re


    pregnant.”  Raegan was shocked. Pregnant... She scanned the report, which suggested she was expecting twins.


    Raegan recognized each word, but they took on a whole new meaning. She was pregnant! And with twins!  Due to a condition making conception difficult for her, Raegan had always thought expecting again unlikely. Yet, the report suggested she had conceived before Mitchel''s disappearance. Back then, Mitchel had confessed he had reced the contraceptives with vitamin C since contraceptives were harmful to her condition. Should she got pregnant despite the odds, they collectively decided to bring it to the world. But given her condition, she brushed it off and decided to let nature take its


    course.


    And now, the news of expecting twins  overwhelmed Raegan. She read the  report repeatedly, struggling to grasp the reality and unable to pinpoint her feelings.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Noticing herck of excitement, Erick asked, "Raegan, what''s on your mind?"  Erick had sensed some tension between Raegan and Mitchel. Raegan''s fainting yesterday likely stemmed from pregnancy-rted weaknesses and possibly Mitchel''s words.


    If it weren''t for Mitchel''s mother still lying in ICU, Erick would not have held back this long from settling scores with Mitchel. As a son himself, Erick understood how Mitchel felt and chose to swallow his anger for a bit.


    Raegan paused for a few moments, her


    hands sweating. "Erick, I need some time to think."  "Okay, whatever you decide, I''m here for you," Erick reassured her.


    Being siblings, Raegan and Erick understood each other well enough without needing to say much.


    Raegan couldn''t quite express what she was feeling. It was a mix of sadness and a glimmer of hope. She was pregnant. What would Mitchel think if he found out?
