Instinctively, Mitchel pulled back the moment Lauren wrapped her arms around his waist.

Lauren's arms were left hanging.

She looked surprised, to say the least.

The room fell into a dead silence in an instant.

Embarrassed, Lauren withdrew her hands and clenched them into fists.

Her eyes turned red as she asked, "Mitchel, do you hate me now?" "Of course not." Mitchel handed her a piece of tissue as a way to comfort her.

"I knew it.

I'm just a burden now..." Lauren burst into tears.

"I shouldn't have come back." "Don't be silly!" Mitchel took a step forward and gave her shoulder a squeeze.

"You are not a burden to me.

No matter what, I'll always take care of you." "Mitchel, I know you would never leave me." Lauren held his hand tightly as she looked up at him with obsessive eyes.

Mitchel didn't leave until Lauren fell asleep.

As soon as the door closed, Lauren, who had been pretending, opened her eyes.

She had perceived a strange fragrance on Mitchel's clothes just now.

It was so faint, but she could bet that it came from a woman.

There was only one woman around Mitchel now.

Only Raegan could have gotten so close to put her scent on him.

Ugh! Lauren gritted her teeth and her face contorted with anger.

"I swear, I'm gonna fuck you up, Raegan!" She vowed to make Raegan pay for approaching Mitchel when she was away.

She looked forward to seeing Raegan grovel at her feet as Raegan begged for mercy.

Meanwhile, as soon as Mitchel got in the car, his assistant asked, "Where to, Mr.

Dixon?" Mitchel loosened his tie and pressed his fingers on his temples.

He answered tiredly, "Crystal Bay." Upon arrival, he went straight upstairs and inputted the password to the apartment with ease.

The door of the main bedroom was ajar.

As soon as he walked in, Mitchel saw Raegan sleeping on her side.

Her hair was disheveled, and the strap of her nightdress was hanging off her shoulder, revealing part of her collarbone and chest.

Mitchel felt her forehead with the back of his hand and found out that her fever had been reduced.

He extended his hands to tuck her in.

At this time, Raegan suddenly turned over with her face a little red.

She said unconsciously, "Water...

I want water." Mitchel quickly grabbed her a glass of water.

He bent over to call her name softly.

She didn't answer.

His eyebrows were slightly raised as he sat on the edge of the bed, pulled her into his arms, and fed her the water carefully.

It seemed she was very thirsty because she drank more than half of the water in the glass.

Under the dim light, her rosy lips shone after it was moistened by water.

They looked so inviting.
