"Trust me. Give it a bit more time before you go see her."

The first ones to walk into Raegan's ward were police officers. Aware that Raegan had awakened, they posed some questions to her.

The day the rescue team had arrived, those criminals had fled away, abandoning Raegan in a pool of her own blood.

Recently roused, Raegan appeared sullen. A tongue injury prevented her from speaking much.

Once the police officers exited, Nicole entered the room to visit Raegan.

Tears welled up in Nicole's eyes at the sight of Raegan's bruised face. She yearned to embrace Raegan but feared exacerbating her injuries, so she clung to the bed's edge and wept briefly.

Regaining her composure, Nicole sought words of comfort for Raegan, yet none came to mind.

Redness tinged Raegan's eyes, a result of excessive crying over the previous disappointment over Mitchel.

Nicole was about to cry when she saw Raegan's red eyes, but she managed to choke back tears.

"If you're hurting, Raegan, let it out."

Just like Raegan, Nicole harbored a great fondness and expectations for Raegan's unborn baby.

They had even agreed that Nicole would be the child's godmother.

But, the baby was gone...

The thought of the poor baby shattered Nicole's heart.

Perceptive as ever, Raegan noticed a scar on Nicole's face and lifted her hand to caress it, softly asking, "What's the matter?" ninjanovel.com

Raegan's voice was raspy and dissonant, scarred as if by fire, and compounded by her injured tongue.

Nicole was stunned by Raegan's perceptiveness. Even after using premium scar cream, a mark still marred Nicole's face.

Luckily, it was barely noticeable, extending from her cheekbone to her ear, concealed by her hair.

Raegan's genuine worries brought tears to Nicole's eyes.

"Is now really the time for you to worry about others?" Nicole said between her sobs.

Even though bruised and battered, Raegan remained silent about her own agony, focusing instead on the state of Nicole's face.

Nicole felt sorry for Raegan. Why did kind-hearted Raegan deserve such hardship?

Nicole lied to Raegan, saying it was a result of an accidental fall.

Hearing Nicole's explanation, Raegan soothingly patted the back of Nicole's hand.
