Chapter 503 I Miss Him | Dearly ¢ Raegan drifted in and out of sleep for | what seemed like ages. She dreamed | of wandering aimlessly through an endless, dark ocean, searching for Mitchel.
The sea was pitch-black, icy, and "devoid of light.
Raegan swam until she could no longer, feeling lost and desperate.
Just as Raegan was about to give up, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her. "Raegan..." Despite the enveloping darkness, that voice was crystal clear. It was the one she had been longing to hear.
It gave Raegan the strength to swim | upward, finally seeing a sliver of light.
> She pushed herself toward that light.
The noise of a sliding door pulled Raegan back from the depths of her dream. She opened her eyes slowly, fighting the heaviness in her head. | oo As her sight came into focus gradually, she saw a tall, striking man walking toward her. His deep, calm eyes seemed to jolt her mind awake.
Tears streamed down Raegan's face uncontrollably. "Mitchel..." With a mix of eagerness and disregard for anything else, Raegan stumbled to her feet and rushed toward him.
He caught her gently, whispering, "Be careful." , Raegan hugged him close, burying her
face in his chest. There were so many | things she wanted to say, but she > found herself at a loss for words.
He gently rubbed her back, his voice soothing. "You seem thinner. Haven't you been eating well?" Raegan was too overwhelmed to talk.
She simply held onto him, sobbing non-stop.
He let out a sigh, sounding utterly helpless. "Raegan, you need to be strong, okay?" Raegan just shook her head. She wanted to tell him, "I don't want to be strong. I just need you by my side." But her words wouldn't come out. It was as if something was stuck in her throat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBending down, he softly wiped her tears with his thumb, whispering, , "Come on. Don't cry. Your eyes are
puffy like walnuts." Raegan attempted a smile, yet the tears kept flowing. 5 "Raegan, I'm really worried about you," he admitted.
Raegan's body shook, feeling a chill to her core. She realized something. Her hands tightened into fists, clutching at the air.
» Raegan watched him walk away, his figure blurring and fading until it disappeared. She couldn't see him any longer.
"Mitchel!" she finally shouted.
But all Raegan saw and felt were the bare white walls and the chill of the room. Nothing more...
'Raegan!" A voice Raegan knew all too well called out.
Raegan turned her head almost without thinking. The door swung » open, and there was Nicole.
Nicole hurried over and wrapped Raegan in a tight embrace, tears in her eyes, saying, "You're finally awake..." Raegan had lost a great deal of weight.
After a long embrace, Nicole pulled back and shared, "Erick's back, and Janey's with Annis. They haven't been told yet..." Raegan took it all in silently. Then, { after a thoughtful pause, she asked, "How long was I out?" Nicole, caught off guard by the question, replied, "Seven days." Raegan blinked slowly, digesting the information. To her, those seven days | had felt like a lifetime.
Erick came by for a short visit. Nicole helped Raegan freshen up before Erick had to leave. d With a warm towel, Nicole tenderly cleaned Raegan's face, Raegan's calm demeanor hiding a profound sadness.
Raegan didn't resist. She ate her meals, took her medicine, and ended up staying another week in the hospital.
Annis brought Janey over one day, gently explaining to Janey that Raegan was just a bit sick.
Janey, acting very mature, quietly left some fruit for Raegan before they had to leave.
Shortly after, Raegan went back to her regular life, diving into her daily routine and work as if nothing had | changed.
Meanwhile, the Dixon Group kept quiet about Mitchel's condition, a piece : of news they weren't prepared to 4 share.
At West Lake Villa, Erick arrived around noon, clutching a document. Watching Raegan busy herself with tea and snacks, he was flooded with conflicting feelings.
It had been two weeks since Raegan . had woken up, yet she hadn't spoken of Mitchel or inquired about him once.
This silence worried Erick deeply.
As Raegan came over with the tea, Erick uttered, "Raegan, we need to talk." Noticing the handwriting she knew so well on the document, Raegan paused.
She suggested gently, "How about I get | you some fruit first..."
It was clear she was dodging the topic.
_ But Erick couldn't let her keep avoiding it. He firmly took her arm, leading her 4 to the couch with a serious voice. "I'm not eating anything. Just sit." | Erick might have been a little too forceful since Raegan stumbled a bit, Erick quickly bent down, asking with concern, "Did I hurt you?" "No, I'm fine." Raegan sat stiffly, looking so much thinner than before.
She seemed fragile, as if a gust of wind could carry her away.
Erick's heart hurt more every time he looked at her. "Raegan, he left this for you." Erick gave Raegan the document.
Raegan's hands shook as she opened | the folder, revealing a will. Just seeing
the word "will" made her fingers tremble. The paper felt thin in her hands, almost too delicate to hold. Fr It read, "Mitchel Dixon, Male, born December 26, 1990... Except for what I've left for Luciana, I'm giving everything else to my lifelong love, Ms.
Raegan Foster..." Erick, who always got straight to the point, wasn't great at offering comfort.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn his own way, he said, "Raegan, Mitchel's death was whispered around the Dixon Group. I've heard Alexis is planning a press conference tomorrow to say Mitchel had an accident. Looks like he's trying to get Henley into that position." Erick tightened his grip, adding, "Whatever you want to do with what Mitchel left for you and Janey, | including any shares, I'm here to help."
Raegan wasn't in any state to think about these things now.
The Dixon Group was barely holding on, with Matteo trying to stop the spread of the news of Mitchel's death.
| But Alexis got his hands on a video that supposedly showed Mitchel dying in an explosion, which was why he dared to hold the press conference.
Raegan couldn't find the words to speak. Her hand didn't stop shaking, and tears fell silently onto the document. y Erick felt a deep sense of sorrow seeing her like this.
Suddenly, Raegan winced, holding her chest.
Erick quickly knelt beside her, | concerned. "Raegan, are you okay?"
"Erick, he's not gone..." Raegan held on to Erick's arm, her sobs breaking » through as she cried without holding back.
Erick was lost for words, tears in his eyes as well.
For the past two weeks, Raegan had sworn to Mitchel that she'd be strong, but now she was falling apart. She had hoped that by staying strong, living ' carefully, and eating healthily, he would come back all of a sudden.
But there was nothing, just like’ everyone had said. He was gone, completely.
For two weeks, Raegan avoided thinking about Mitchel and didn't let herself imagine what he might have felt in his last moments. She dreaded | to think the last kiss he gave her on
the forehead, so full of hesitation...
Now, letting her thoughts go to Mitchel, Raegan felt her heart being 4 scooped out, leaving a cold wind to blow through, making the emptiness echo.
Holding the will tightly, Raegan doubled over, crying like there was no tomorrow. "Erick, it's so hard to accept... Erick, I miss him terribly..."
