Love Unbreakable

Chapter 228

Disabled Forever Raegan gazed at Henley earnestly and spoke with sincerity.

"I'm fully aware of what I had said.

After all, your leg was injured because of me.

It’s only night that I stay by your side to take care of you until you're fully recovered.” Upon hearing her words, a change came over Henley's face.

The sparkle in his eyes seemed to vanish.

Raegan was indeed guileless.

How could she harbor any other thoughts? Once settled on a plan for his ongoing treatment, Henley reached out to a renowned specialist in this field.

He was preparing to undergo surgery in the coming days.

The police visited the hospital to record Henley's statement.

Henley recounted his reasons for being there that night as his concern for Raegan.

He had arrived at Raegan's place just in time to see Tessa abduct her.

The police verified his account against the surveillance footage.

It all matched the timeline perfectly.

Meanwhile, Raegan was calculating the duration of Henley's upcoming treatment.

It was going to be a more prolonged affair than she had anticipated.

Considering the surgery schedule, she realized she'd need at least a month off work.

Typically, her company wouldn't permit such a lengthy leave.

So, she contemplated resigning.

She felt compelled to take responsibility for Henley's condition.

Had it not been for his intervention, she would have been the one suffering a fall from a great height.

However, upon discussing the situation with her supervisor, she found support.

Her supervisor agreed to hold her position during her absence.

Moreover, her students reached out, promising to remain diligent and study hard while she was away.

Bryce, in particular, seemed transformed.

He earnestly promised Raegan that he would make significant progress in her absence.

This assurance brought Raegan some comfort.

Having tutored these kids for a long time, she was reluctant to leave them.

Before her departure, Raegan visited Kyler in the sanatorium.

She didn't reveal her plans to accompany Henley for his treatment abroad.

Instead, she mentioned that she was going overseas for further studies, not wanting to worry the old man.

Kyler was overjoyed to hear about her plans, lauding Raegan for her talents.

Later, Raegan went to see Nicole, who had been discharged from the hospital and was now engrossed in settling company matters.

Raegan remained unaware of the source of Nicole's funds.

The eighty-million-dollar loan had been paid, and Nicole managed to sell the batch of finished products to smaller firms at a reduced rate.

The ordeal had cost the Lawrence Group tens of millions, not to mention the losses in the stock market, amounting to hundreds of millions in total.

The Lawrence Group's bankruptcy seemed inevitable.

Nicole was swamped with the company’s final liquidation.

Raegan shared news of Henley's abroad treatment with Nicole.

Although Nicole was concerned for Raegan, she was deeply engrossed in her own troubles.

In the end, she promised to visit Raegan once her affairs were in order, As Raegan was about to leave, Nicole halted her with a sudden inquiry, "Have you heard anything about Mitchel lately?” "What is it?” Raegan asked, her curiosity piqued.

"I heard that Mitchel's company’s senior shareholders are challenging him at board meetings,” Nicole explained.

“It seems his frequent hospitalizations have led them to question his ability to lead the company.” This revelation left Raegan astonished, recalling Luciana's earlier comments.

Indeed, if Mitchel, the CEO, was in poor health, it would naturally unsettle the company's stability.

Nicole, unaware of the specifics surrounding Tessa's actions or Mitchel’s injuries, treated this information as mere hearsay.

"I think Mitchel must be quite occupied lately," she continued.

"Rumors had it that he might marry the daughter of the Glyn family.

The Glyn family is quite influential, second only to the Dixons family.

A union between their families would be beneficial for both sides.” The Glyn family? Was Mitchel going to marry Katie? Luciana had once remarked that the two families were equally matched in every way.

Raegan wandered back into the hospital, her mind lost in thought.

She remembered Luciana stressing the importance of family background.

She felt helpless, unable to assist Mitchel during his troubles.

More often than not, she felt like a burden to him.

This time was no different.

She felt just as powerless as before.

She realized she was partly responsible for the crisis facing the Dixon Group.

As Raegan waited for the elevator, lost in her thoughts, the doors opened, revealing a surprising scene.

Inside stood Mitchel and Katie.

Upon seeing Raegan, Katie greeted her warmly, "Hi, nice to see you again." Raegan responded with a nod, "Glad to see you, too.” Katie inquired, "Are you here for Mitchel?” "No, I'm here for a friend,"

Raegan replied, shaking her head.

As she spoke, she noticed Mitchel casting a cold glance her way before turning away.

His indifference weighed heavily on Raegan’s heart.

Katie stayed behind as Mitchel left, apologizing to Raegan, "I'm so sorry about yesterday.

I didn't realize Luciana had given the bracelet to you before.

It caught my eye, so I asked her for it.

Had I known the significance of it, | wouldn't have asked for it.” Raegan offered a smile.

"It's alright." Katie returned the smile.

"Just to clarify, Mitchel and I are merely close friends.

Don't get the wrong idea.

We grew up playing together, and he's never seen me in a romantic light." Raegan was taken aback by Katie’s candidness and preferred not to discuss it in Mitchel's presence.

"There's no misunderstanding on my part about your relationship with him," Raegan reassured.

Katie's smile broadened.

"That's a relief.

1 would hate to be the cause of any conflict between you and Mitchel.” Raegan responded quickly, “There's nothing between Mitchel and I.

Don't think too much, Miss Glyn." "Nothing between you and Mitchel? How is that possible...” Katie was about to add more, but Mitchel interrupted, "Are you coming or not?” He sounded impatience.

With a smile, Katie said to Raegan, "I should go now.

We'll talk more another time.” Raegan nodded and stepped into the elevator.

As the elevator doors began to close, she caught a glimpse of Katie playfully nudging Mitchel and saying something with a smile.

Katie, standing beside Mitchel, appeared effortlessly elegant.

They seemed an ideal pair.

As the elevator doors shut completely, Mitchel’s familiar fragrance lingered, now mixed with the scent of another woman.

The scent in the elevator left Raegan with a heavy heart, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

Upon entering Henley's ward, she found the nurse attending to Henley's dressings.

The sight of the raw wound, wrapped in gauze and tainted with the mingling scents of medicine and blood, unsettled Raegan's stomach.

She was trying to compose herself when the nurse asked for assistance.

"Miss, could you help me with the gauze?" At that moment, Raegan couldn't contain herself any longer.

She began to retch uncontrollably.

The nurse and Henley looked on in shock.

"I'm sorry,” Raegan hurriedly said.

"I might have eaten something that didn't agree with me." As she spoke, her stomach revolted again, compelling her to dash to the bathroom and empty its contents.

From the bathroom, the sounds of her vomiting left the nurse at a loss for words.

Henley's expression turned grim.

Did he repulse Raegan in some way? After the ordeal, Raegan, drained, leaned on the washbasin to rinse her hands.

Her reflection in the mirror showed her pallor, a stark contrast to her usual appearance.

Raegan convinced herself that her discomfort was likely due to the food she had consumed at lunch, which hadn't agreed with her stomach.

After leaving the bathroom, she noticed the nurse had finished changing Henley's dressing and a fan was now on, circulating air throughout the ward.

Henley, concerned, suggested, "Raegan, if you're not feeling well, go back and rest." "I'm okay," Raegan assured him, shaking her head.

"It was probably just something I ate at lunch.

I'll feel better soon.” Henley's expression grew more troubled as he observed her pallid complexion.

Two days later, a private plane, arranged by Henley's parents, was ready for them at the airport.

Raegan and Henley traveled in a specially equipped rescue vehicle to the airport.

As Raegan gazed out the window during the journey, a sense of heaviness filled her heart.

She hadn't seen Mitchel since their last encounter.

Later, she caught the Dixon Group's official statement on television.

The situation seemed dire, with Mitchel engulfed in the midst of it all.

Raegan felt like an outsider, able only to watch the news, powerless to assist Mitchel in his time of need.

She became increasingly aware of the vast chasm between herself and Mitchel, feeling her world drifting farther from his.

Henley, reclining on his side, watched Raegan intently, his gaze deep and unreadable.

Ever since he discovered Raegan was the little girl from his past, Henley noticed a change in himself.

He had become possessive, almost obsessive.

He disliked seeing Raegan lost in thought, her mind possibly wandering to Mitchel.

The thought nagged at him incessantly.

"Raegan,” Henley called out, breaking her reverie.

Raegan turned to him and asked, “Yes? What is it?" "Do you ever regret it?" Henley asked, his tone serious.

Raegan, initially perplexed, thought he was referring to their journey together for his abroad treatment.

She offered him a reassuring smile, her voice carrying a comforting tone, "Of course not, Henley.

I’m here for you, and I'll stay by your side until your leg is completely healed." Henley's gaze intensified as he asked, "What if my condition is incurable? What if I remain disabled forever?"
