Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 226

Is It That Difficult to Choose Raegan's voice wavered, betraying her uncertainty.

Taking such a bold step was unfamiliar to her, and her hand, resting on Mitchel's arm, was rigid with tension.

Mitchel looked at Raegan with an_indifferent expression.

"What difference does it make?" Raegan had overcome her reservations to take this difficult step.

Feeling unnerved by his detached demeanor, she had the impulse to withdraw.

Yet, remembering his resolve to save her, she hesitated.

Determined not to yield, she held his gaze firmly.

"If you truly don't want to see me, I won't show up in front of you anymore." Raegan's lips, delicate and gentle, lingered close to Mitchel, exuding a subtle, sweet presence.

Mitchel's expression remained stoic, but his hand tightened involuntarily, a warmth spreading through him.

It was a simple kiss from Raegan, unrefined and unpracticed, yet it sparked a deep longing within him to claim her immediately. As Mitchel recalled the previous night's events, a chill settled in his heart.

His words were cold and sharp.

"What about your boyfriend?" Raegan was momentarily taken aback, unsure of whom he meant.

After a brief pause, understanding lit her face, but before she could clarify, she noticed a mocking smirk playing on his lips.

"Or perhaps you desire both?" Raegan's breathing grew labored, and a tightness gripped her chest.

Was this how he viewed her? Like a deflated balloon, her courage and resolve swiftly drained away.

Their relationship's complexities couldn't be untangled with mere words.

Regrets of her hasty decision washed over Raegan, and her spirit plummeted.

She looked down, defeated, and began to rise.

"I'm sorry for the disturbance." But as she started to walk away, her wrist was captured in a firm grip. Mitchel held her hand tightly, his eyes intense.

"Is it really that hard for you to make a choice?" She was pushing him to the edge of reason.

Why was it so difficult for her to decide? Even if she were to deceive him, he could accept it.

But she refused to even entertain the idea of lying.

His grip tightened, causing Raegan pain.

Tears gathered in her eyes, and in a pained whisper, she said, "I'm just..." Bang.

The door to the room opened suddenly, creating a Jarring interruption in the already tense atmosphere.

Luciana entered with a young woman trailing behind her.

The woman, with her long, wavy hair cascading elegantly and her figure accentuated by a stylish suit, exuded an air of grace and beauty.

Luciana, initially not noticing Raegan, said to Mitchel with enthusiasm, "Mitchel, guess who's back?" However, her cheerfulness faltered as her eyes landed on Raegan near Mitchel's bedside.

Luciana managed a forced smile. "Oh, Raegan. Are you here to see Mitchel?" Raegan, feeling the tension, quickly withdrew her hand and responded courteously, "Yes." Their greetings were polite yet strained, creating an uncomfortable silence in the room. Then, the young woman with Luciana broke the silence with a melodic voice. "So, you're Mitchel's ex-wife?" Raegan was momentarily taken aback, not expecting her identity to be known. The woman stepped forward, introducing herself in an outgoing manner, "Hello, I'm Katie Glyn." Raegan returned the greeting, "Hello." Katie glanced at Mitchel lying in the bed and smiled gracefully. "Mitchel and I grew up together." A shadow crossed Raegan's face.

She rarely interacted with Mitchel's friends and was unfamiliar with Katie. Admiring Raegan's beauty, Katie commented, "Mitchel is lucky indeed. I hadn't expected his ex-wife to be so captivating." Raegan responded with an awkward smile, "Thank you. You're quite stunning yourself." Katie's demeanor was refined and elegant, distinctly different from Lauren's affected grace. Extending her hand, Katie said warmly, "Pleased to meet you." When Raegan caught sight of the bracelet on Katie's wrist, her heart skipped a beat, and her face drained of color. That bracelet was the very one she had returned to Luciana not long before. It was a gift from Luciana when she hadn't divorced Mitchel. Raegan's eyes lingered on the bracelet adorning Katie's wrist, her feelings a tangled web of emotions. Despite her inner turmoil, she managed to maintain her composure, offering Katie a gentle handshake. Raegan, ready to leave, addressed Luciana politely, "You two continue talking. I'll leave now." Notably, Raegan talked to Luciana in a rather polite way, indicating a change in her feelings.

Luciana responded with a silent nod, her voice remaining unspoken.

As Raegan made to leave, Mitchel's voice, icy and firm, halted her.

"Don't go." Raegan paused for a moment but continued toward the door.

Mitchel attempted to rise from his bed in haste, but his sudden movement aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain. Luciana quickly stepped in to support him, turning to Katie.

"Please stay with Mitchel.

I'll see Raegan out." Mitchel, held back by Luciana, grew pale, insisting weakly, "Tell her I haven't finished talking." Luciana's expression shifted subtly as she nodded, acknowledging his request.

Outside the hospital, Luciana quickly caught up to Raegan.

"Raegan, can we talk for a moment?" Raegan stopped, not showing any signs of refusal. Luciana started, her expression troubled, "I've been informed about Tessa's incident." Luciana had learned of Tessa's tragic end. Although she wasn't fond of Tessa, she still felt sorry for Tessa. Kenia had approached Luciana with a __ pointed accusation, saying if Mitchel hadn't harshly dealt with Tessa for Raegan's sake, Tessa might not have met such a dreadful end.

Despite their distant familial ties, Luciana was concerned about the escalating consequences, especially one resulting in the loss of life. Luciana remarked with caution, "Katie and Mitchel have known each other since they were children. They were quite close. Katie moved abroad early on. But now that she's back, and given our families' similar status, we've thought about pairing them together." Luciana stressed family backgrounds, conveying an underlying message. Raegan responded plainly, "Luciana, if there's something you want to say, please be straightforward." Luciana continued,

"Mitchel was injured again while saving you.

The board members are expressing their dissatisfaction with him being hospitalized twice in just a month." After a brief pause, Luciana let out a sigh.

"I'm not trying to be harsh.

I told you before that I hoped you two wouldn't meet again.

Please don't force me into doing something.

I don't want to be seen as the villain here." Her words carried an implicit warning.

The color drained from Raegan's face as she unconsciously clenched her fist, her nails digging into her palm.

The situation was laden with irony.

Luciana, who had once held her hand and professed maternal feelings, was now threatening her.

Luciana's fondness for her felt as delicate as dandelions, easily scattered by the slightest wind.

Raegan had previously tried to understand Luciana's actions as a mother's concern for her son, but now, things seemed less clear.

Was she truly the sole cause of all these problems? What brought Tessa to that dire strait? Wasn't it because of Lauren? And the root cause of Lauren's actions was none other than Mitchel.

Wasn't Raegan, too, a victim in this tangled web? "Luciana, I assure you, I will keep my promise.

I won't reach out to him unless he does so first," Raegan said with calmness.

The boldness she had mustered earlier had evaporated.

One distressing episode was more than enough.

However, Luciana's concerns were different.

She knew Mitchel well.

Beneath his carefree and rebellious exterior, he was not one to easily let go.

Luciana then voiced her suggestion, "You know, you're still young.

Studying abroad might open up better opportunities for you.

Think about it.

If you agree, I'll handle the expenses." Raegan hadn't expected Luciana to be so averse to her presence, to the point of not wanting her to stay in the country.
