A Close Call At seven o'clock the next morning, Raegan got up and was ready to go to the court for the divorce.

Her appointment was for half past nine.

It was still early, so she decided to take a bus there.

The episode at the shopping mall had_ spoiled Raegan's mood and didn't want to dine out with Nicole.

When she got back home, she realized the baby’s clothes she brought were missing.

She called the shopping mall, but they couldn't find them either.

Perhaps someone else had picked up the bag.

Once the bus arrived at her stop, she texted Mitchel, telling him she had arrived.

It dawned on her that the last time she texted him was before Lauren's return.

The text read, "Honey, when will you be back home?" It was from the day she learned about her pregnancy.

At first, she wanted to break the news to him via text, but she thought it would be better to do it in person.

Things didn't go as planned.

A lot had changed since then.

Most of the messages in the chat were from her.

Mitchel rarely replied, but when he did, he replied briefly.

She didn't think so much about this before.

But going through the chat history now, it appeared Mitchel had always shown his lack of love for her.

Sadness crept into her heart again.

She quickly cleared the chat, deciding not to dwell on that ugly past anymore.

As she walked toward the bureau, she heard someone shout, "Thief!" A figure in all-black clothes appeared out of nowhere and pushed Raegan aside.

He was clutching a red purse and running away like the devil was on his tail.

Fortunately, Raegan supported her weight with one knee before her body could hit the hard ground.

A woman in a red dress ran after the thief.

Suddenly, she tripped and fell, spraining her ankle.

She looked at the passers-by with a painful expression and pleaded, “Help...

Somebody help me, please.

Some important drugs are in that bag.

My sick husband needs them ASAP." Although there were a few passersby, no one offered to help despite her cry.

They just looked on as if they were watching a live drama.

Seeing this, Raegan shot to her feet.

She gave the thief a hot chase while shouting, "Hey, you! Stop right there! Someone stop him! He's a thief!” Her shout drew the attention of the passers-by in front.

The thief looked back at her and increased his speed.

Raegan did the same.

In a matter of seconds, the distance between her and the thief was shortened.

She used to be the star of the track team when she was in school.
