As Annis closed the door of her room, Raegan’s ear still tingled, her gaze fixed on him, bewildered.

“You…”

“What is it?” Mitchel appeared completely relaxed, as if he hadn’t meant to do it at all.

Raegan was at a loss for words, standing there dumbfounded.

How could she ask if he had indeed bitten her? If not, wouldn’t she risk being mocked for her self-importance?

Raegan pressed her lips together, feeling her heart flutter with uncertainty.

“Never mind,” Raegan finally uttered.

“What’s ‘never mind’ about?” Mitchel gazed at her intently.

“It’s nothing…”

Mitchel casually remarked, “Your heart’s racing a bit, isn’t it?”

Raegan kept quiet.

She tightened her lips, choosing to ignore him, thinking it was entirely his fault.

“Let’s head upstairs,” she suggested with a hint of annoyance.

As Raegan took a step, she immediately sensed something wrong with her foot, experiencing a sudden pain.

It felt like she had accidentally twisted it.

Lost in thought, she was abruptly lifted off the ground.

“Ah…” Raegan was taken aback, her hand instinctively covering her mouth as she found herself already embraced by Mitchel.

“Did you hurt your ankle?” he asked.

“I think so, but I’m fine to walk, I can manage.

.

Before she could say another word, he was already lifting her and ascending the stairs.

Mitchel, with his long legs and brisk pace, swiftly made his way to the upstairs bedroom.

Gently setting Raegan on the bed, Mitchel continued to remove her shoes.

Raegan couldn’t stop him in time.

He held her foot and examined it closely.

Raegan froze for a moment.

He didn’t seem to mind at all…

“It’s nothing serious,” she reassured.

She was familiar with her body’s reactions.

The discomfort would likely fade by morning.

However, Mitchel appeared unconvinced, asking, “Where do you keep the first aid kit?”

Raegan gestured toward a drawer.

Mitchel grabbed the first aid kit and hopped onto the bed, lifting her leg on his thigh.
