Chapter 286 Why Did She Fall Into The River

As Raegan clutched Erick's arm, her gaze fixed on him filled with vigilance, Mitchel's heart twisted in pain, and his demeanor grew cold.

"Raegan, come over to my side," Mitchel demanded.

In response to his words, Raegan shot back with annoyance, "I have told you multiple times that you have mistaken me for someone else."

Looking at Mitchel's bloodied forehead and injured hand, she continued in a cold tone, "Consider this a warning. If you pull a stunt like this again, I won't hesitate to call the police."

"Haven't I already said it? You are my wife. Why won't you believe me?" Mitchel stubbornly insisted, his expressión unwavering. "I can recognize you with just one glance." How could he mistake the love of his life for someone else? This was Raegan, his woman.

Unconvinced by Mitchel's persistence, Raegan began to worry that he might be seriously unwell, making reasoning with him an uphill battle. If Mitchel was truly insane, there was a risk he might repeat his actions. Worse yet, she might not be able to bring him to justice due to his unstable state of mind.

Raegan looked at him and frowned. "Mr. Dixon, if you are unwell, go see a doctor. Don't mess around with others, okay?" Raegan suggested seriously.

Raegan genuinely believed that Mitchel had lost touch with reality. Otherwise, he wouldn't have kissed her so recklessly.

The thought of those kisses made her shudder with disgust. She couldn't wait to go home and wash away the memory. She shook Erick's arm and said firmly, "Let's go home, Erick. Casting a cold glare at Mitchel, Erick warned sternly, "Mr. Dixon, if you harass my sister again, the Foster family won't let you off so easily."

Although the Foster family had no business dealings in Ardlens, they still held some influence in the city due to their extensive connections. Given the Foster family's substantial influence, "Erick was confident that Mitchel would reconsider before doing anything impulsive.

As Erick prepared to lead Raegan away, she unexpectedly interjected, "Hold on a minute."

Both men turned their attention to Raegan as she sifted through the trash bin, searching for her lost ring.

Luckily, the trash bin was new, so there was no other trash except the ring.

Retrieving the platinum diamond ring, Raegan held it carefully. She intended to cleanse it before putting it back on.

Once Mitchel regained his composure, he noticed Raegan acting strangely. She seemed to have no recollection of their shared past.

Seeing her meticulous care for the ring, a sharp pain pierced Mitchel's heart as if struck by something sharp.

He firmly grasped Raegan, who was already at the door, and declared coldly, "You are not allowed to leave!"

Before Raegan could say anything, Erick intervened, positioning himself between them. He said firmly, "Mr. Dixon, you have no right to stop my sister from leaving."

"Is that so?" Mitchel squinted, producing an item from his pocket and tossing it to Raegan.

The item grazed Raegan's chin before landing on the floor. Erick promptly picked up the item, scrutinized it, and discovered it was Raegan and Mitchel's wedding photo. He frowned. Who would carry a wedding photo nowadays?

The torn photo indicated Mitchel had carried it in his pocket for a long time.

After Raegan's accident, it was the only thing Mitchel had to remind him of their old days together. It appeared that Raegan had resolved to sever ties with him.

Little did anyone know how many sleepless nights Mitchel had endured holding that photo in his hands.

Mitchel looked at Raegan with a sneer and asked, "Do I have the right now?" 

The wedding photo landed like a heavy blow, leaving Erick and Raegan stunned and at a loss for words.

As per the investigation, Erick was aware of Mitchel and Raegan's divorce but remained oblivious to when they had remarried.

Meanwhile, Raegan was dumbfounded as she looked at the wedding photo. It turned out that Mitchel had not deceived her. He was indeed her husband. But if she was married to Mitchel, then who was Kabir? How could she have married Kabir when she already had a husband?

The whole situation resembled a confusing maze, leaving Raegan feeling dizzy with her mind buzzing.

Suddenly, without warning, Raegan lost consciousness and collapsed.

"Raegan!" Erick exclaimed, his voice filled with anxiety.

Mitchel, too, stood there momentarily stunned. However, he quickly lifted Raegan from the floor, forcefully kicked the door open, placed her in the car, and sped away.

Meanwhile, Erick rushed to catch up with them.

Both their cars screeched to a halt in front of the hospital. Mitchel cradled Raegan in his arms, ready to rush into the hospital, but Erick blocked his path.

Wearing a grave expression, Erick said, "The doctors here can't treat her condition.

Erick appeared distressed as he stared at Mitchel. He said in a low voice, "Let me take care of Raegan. Otherwise, you might end up killing her."

Mitchel hesitated for a moment, gazing at Raegan's pallid face as she lay in his arms. Eventually, he allowed Erick to take her away.

Erick restarted his car.

Before heading back to the villa, Erick took the initiative to contact Raegan's doctor.

Peering through the glass window, which displayed the ongoing treatment for Raegan, Erick released a sigh of relief. The treatment room was sealed, featuring only one bed and an array of equipment for the patient.

On the hospital bed, Raegan's complexion was ashen, and a network of thin tubes were attached to her head.

Seeing this, Mitchel's heart skipped a beat, and the expression on his handsome face changed instantly. "What's wrong with her?

"When we found Raegan, her brain was severely damaged. After several grueling treatments, she finally regained her current state. I have to ask you, Mr. Dixon. Why did Raegan fall into the river back then?" Erick asked coldly.

As he thought about the accident, Erick couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. He harbored suspicions and never dismissed the possibility that someone might have orchestrated the incident to kill Raegan.

Thus, taking advantage of Raegan's return to the country for work, Erick intended to investigate whether someone was behind the incident.

When he heard the question, Mitchel couldn't help but recall the events of that fateful day. Did the events of that time drive Raegan to run away from him? However, numerous indicators suggested that she had already made her decision before that incident. Ultimately, he was the reason for Raegan's decision to leave, shouldering an inescapable responsibility for her subsequent accident.

Mitchel closed his eyes briefly as he said regretfully, "She wanted to break free from me, and then the car accident happened. It's all my fault."

In truth, Erick wasn't expecting to extract any meaningful information from Mitchel. To his knowledge, Mitchel had endured immense suffering over the past five years. Had Mitchel possessed any inkling of the truth, he would have shielded Raegan from harm.

As he thought about this, Erick looked at Mitchel and said, "I don't understand why you remarried Raegan, but it seems she was unwilling, given that she ran away. Moreover... As far as my knowledge goes, Mr. Dixon, your initial divorce occurred because you chose another woman over Raegan, resulting in her miscarriage. So, it's perplexing why she would reconcile with you.

Mitchel hurriedly explained, "It was just a misunderstanding..." "Just a misunderstanding?" Erick scoffed and continued, "Was the miscarriage also a misunderstanding? Is it true that you didn't help Raegan save her baby?"

Upon hearing this, Mitchel felt a lump forming in his throat, rendering him speechless.

Looking at the distressed expression on Mitchel's face, Erick sneered, "Well, I hope you can finalize the divorce with Raegan soon, Mr. Dixon."
