Trying not to give herself away, Raegan moved to get some water as Katie requested.
However, Mitchel caught her wrist.
Mitchel lifted his eyelids and said with a cold voice, "All she has to do is look after me."
This implied that Katie wasn't up to the task of giving orders.
Katie was taken aback for a moment, her eyes quickly filling with tears.
With her voice breaking, she said, "Mitchel, I just wanted to get some water."
Mitchel stood firm.
"If you're thirsty, get it yourself."
"I..."
Katie was at a loss for words, now not wanting to get herself some water.
After a brief silence, she tried to brush it off.
"Never mind, I don't need to drink anything."
Raegan observed this exchange from a distance, feeling sorry for Katie.
Despite Katie's compliance, she couldn't gain any favor from Mitchel.
Raegan decided to steer clear of their drama, murmuring, "I'll step outside for a bit."
But Mitchel wasn't about to let her leave just like that.
He instructed Matteo to show her out.
Adding to that, he said, "Have her make me a soup."
Matteo was surprised, questioning, "Mr.Dixon, what kind of soup would you like?"
It was unusual for Mitchel to ask a nurse to cook soup, especially when they had cooks for that job.
Mitchel's expression turned icy.
"I only want the soup she makes."
Truth be told, he didn't care much for the soup itself.
His real aim was to find a reason to keep Raegan around.
Matteo caught on quickly and started to usher Raegan off to prepare the soup.
