Apart from assurances of Mitchel’s steady recovery, Erick had abstained from further mention of him.

Raegan remained oblivious to Mitchel’s passive stance on recovery training.

Raegan kept running forward, brisk and unyielding, until she collided with someone at the corner.

It was Erick, seeking her out.

“Raegan!” Erick’s gaze turned frosty at the sight of blood on her wedding dress.

“Who is responsible for this?”

“Erick…” As soon as Raegan spoke, tears cascaded uncontrollably.

Erick’s panic surged, “What happened, Raegan? Who bullied you?”

Erick had just visited the waiting room but replaceing it deserted.

He nearly tore the roof off in his frantic search.

Moreover, shards of glass and threads on the windowsill pointed to one conclusion.

Raegan

had been kidnapped!

Erick swiftly alerted Stefan, securing all entrances and exits of the estate.

They opted for discretion, conducting covert searches.

Erick hadn’t anticipated stumbling upon Raegan, her steps faltering, as he followed the trail.

“It’s nothing… Erick, can you go check on him?”

Erick furrowed his brow.

“Check on who?”

“Mitchel, he’s here… He just… He appears to be injured.

” Raegan felt a bit disoriented, understandably so, as the abrupt appearance of Mitchel made it difficult for her to gather her thoughts.

“Raegan, stay focused.

This isn’t the moment to mess up,” Erick cautioned, his expression taut.

If anyone were to realize the wedding was a charade, the trail to Casey’s whereabouts would be utterly obscured.

After all, the last time they had a fleeting lead, the individual having taken Casey away had vanished with Casey all of a sudden.

That individual was remarkably astute, and after vanishing suddenly, there was no trace since then for over a decade.

Moreover, there were still those in Aurora eyeing Raegan with predatory intent.

If they learned the wedding was a sham, she’d likely be their first target.

At this juncture, Raegan couldn’t afford a single slip-up.

Of course, Raegan understood.

Her expression somber, she said, “Erick, I know.

I just…”

But she couldn’t articulate her thoughts fully.

Her decision to abruptly sever ties left her with only self-hypnosis to remain steadfast.

Clutching Erick’s sleeve, Raegan gently shook it.

“Could you please go check on Mitchel and see him off?”

Erick was Left momentarily speechless.

After a few moments of silence, he nodded.

“Return to the waiting room.

Stefan’s been trying to replace you.

I’ll tell him to get someone to touch up your makeup.

“Alright,” Raegan replied, lifting her dress as she headed back.

Victor had arrived early to fetch Raegan.

Victor had been momentarily called away to oversee the preparation of the favors, leaving Raegan vulnerable to abduction.

Now, Victor trailed closely behind Raegan, not daring to stray.
