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.

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 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 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.
