I Miss Her So Much "You!" Alexis, seething with anger, pointed a trembling finger at Mitchel.
Though Alexis could barely contain his rage, he knew he had to take advantage of Mitchel for his grand schemes first.
Trying to control his fury, Alexis adopted a gentler tone, "Marrying Eloise is merely a temporary thing.
You could part ways with her after the deal is done.
Besides, it's not your first divorce, and...” Alexis trailed off, swelling with a strange sense of pride, and boasted, “Women flock to
us Dixons, especially those from affluent families.” In Alexis’ view, women were merely pawns in his strategic games, valued only
for the alliances they brought.
Even Luciana had been his calculated choice, selected for her family's status.
Mitchel, on the other hand, held marriage in higher regard and had no desire to engage in a debate with Alexis.
"I will not marry Eloise.
I need to rest.
Please leave,” Mitchel said wearily.
Alexis’ irritation with Mitchel was palpable.
Yet, the sight of Mitchell's pale lips tempered his anger.
“Take your rest then.
But remember, back then, you married that woman without my consent.
Had it not been for the fact that Kyler backed you, 1 would have shown my objection.
This time, I won't stand by idly.
As a Dixon, your marriage isn't yours to decide.
If not the Benton family, I'd have chosen another for you.
Don't cross me again, or my response won't be kind.” His words hung in the air, heavy with menace..
As Mitchel's father, Alexis would never hurt Mitchel directly.
But he knew precisely whom Mitchel sought to shield.
Suddenly, a frosty look overtook Mitchel's eyes.
With a mocking laugh, he shot back, “If you're so obsessed with using marriage as a tool, why not try it yourself? With all the
women you entertain, why not marry them? That'd surely bolster your company abroad, wouldn't it?” Mitchel laid bare Alexis’
schemes without hesitation.
Alexis' face twisted at once, a flicker of guilt quickly giving way to fury.
But Mitchel's sneer remained as he retorted, "I'm merely suggesting you ponder over your company abroad before making rash
decisions.
After all, you've worked hard for it, haven't you?” Fury scorched through Alexis’ gaze.
Mitchel had thrown down a threat! A blatant threat! Mitchel had the audacity to menace him over a worthless woman!
Outrageous! Just as Alexis was on the verge of speaking, the door flew open with a forceful kick.
Luciana burst in, her eyes landing on the bandage across Mitchel's chest, now stained with blood.
This sight pierced her heart, leaving her feeling as though it had been ripped in two.
Her gaze icy, Luciana yanked Alexis out of the ward.
Alexis protested, "Why are you dragging me out? That defiant fool threatened me, and 1 won't stand for it!” Luciana's fury
bubbled into a = scoff.
“Mitchel threatened you?" "Yes!" Alexis, avoiding the full truth, added hastily, "Just look at your dear son, as merciless as his
mother!" "Well, I believe Mitchel acted appropriately!" Confused, Alexis pressed, "What was that?" In a flash of rage, Luciana
wielded the handbag in her hand.
Bang! She pummeled it against Alexis’ forehead.
"T'll smash you old bastard to death! My son is hurt, and here you are aggravating him while he's bleeding!” Alexis, unprepared
for the onslaught, was dazed, his vision clouded by blood.
He reached out to strike Luciana but, blinded, only managed to trip over his own feet.
Bang! Alexis toppled to the floor, his forehead swelling up, a ridiculous and pitiful sight.
Luciana looked down at him with disdain.
"Serves you right!" Throughout his life, Alexis had been adored by many women, all tender and gentle with him.
Never had he endured such treatment, especially not from a woman.
It was the ultimate disgrace! Regaining his footing, he lunged at Luciana with a sneer.
"You bitch! I'll make you pay!" But with his vision still impaired, Luciana slipped away with ease.
Thump! A dull thump echoed as he missed again.
Alexis stumbled once more, which left yet another lump on his forehead.
Luciana, catching sight of his ludicrous expression, couldn't help but feel amused.
She had always shown restraint toward Alexis for Mitchel's sake, not wishing to cause any trouble.
To Luciana, today seemed to be turning out rather well! She was aware, however, that Alexis would seek retribution, prompting
her to snap a few shots of his current disheveled state.
of the distinguished Mr.
Dixon, who seems quite distressed at the moment!” "How dare you! Stop that at once!” Alexis, who prized his reputation greatly,
couldn't stand the thought of anyone seeing him in such a state! Luciana, her mind on Mitchel, had no desire to linger with
Alexis.
"Scared, are you? Then get the fuck out now!" Enraged, Alexis’ lips quivered as he spat, "A true gentleman doesn't quarrel with a
lady like you.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
You'll get yours next time!” With that, he clutched his forehead and hurried downstairs, seeking a doctor and hoping to avoid
recognition.
Meanwhile, Luciana rushed to the ward.
Finding Mitchel still prostrate on the bed, his lips colorless and his chest adorned with blood-stained pink gauze, her heart
wrenched.
Her voice quaking, she asked, "Mitchel, what happened? Are you in pain? Why not summon the doctor?" She quickly pressed
the call button, urging the doctor to attend to the bleeding.
The doctor faced a challenge in redressing the reopened wound.
Once the gauze was replaced, Mitchel’s complexion turned ghostly pale.
Witnessing this, Luciana felt as if her heart was being cleaved with a blade.
"Does it still hurt, Mitchel?" Mitchel lifted his gaze and spoke flatly.
“Don't worry.
I'm alright.” Luciana's eyes brimmed with tears.
Alright? How could he be? The blade had come perilously close to his heart.
It was his heart! A mere shift could have spelled his end, beyond even God's intervention.
Luciana's heart was laden with anxiety over Mitchel’s condition, yet Mitchel seemed to disregard his brush with death.
To him, he would risk it all again without a second thought.
He broke into a cough and inquired with a note of unease, "Mom, have you seen Raegan?” Tears shimmered in Luciana's eyes
as she responded, "I noticed her as I hurried here, but I didn't see her later.” Upon awakening, Luciana sought out Mitchel,
oblivious to Raegan's whereabouts.
The notion that Mitchel's injuries stemmed from Raegan caused her affection for Raegan to waver slightly.
She attempted to divert the conversation, only to be halted by Mitchel's request.
"Mom, could you ask her to visit me?” Mitchel implored, his fists tightening around the quilt.
Mitchel thought Raegan had departed promptly upon Luciana's hospital arrival, clearly eager to distance herself from the
situation.
Yet, Mitchel’s desire to see Raegan persisted.
He missed her so much.
