Slap Ten Times The teacup broke into pieces, and the tea inside splashed onto Mitchel’s feet.
Mitchel lowered his head and looked at his feet.
His eyes also caught sight of the wooden bracelet on the floor.
Then he looked up and stared at the bruise on Raegan’s forehead.
Something seemed to dawn on him.
His eyes turned cold.
He looked at the bodyguards and ordered, “Go tell my grandfather and _ great- grandfather that Mrs.
Lloyd is suffering from dementia.
She can’t recognize anyone.
She must be sent to a sanatorium right away.” “Mitchel, How dare you!” Sariah shouted furiously.
Sariah was only in her early sixties.
In fact, she was eight years younger than Luciana’s father.
This was her time to enjoy herself.
She was not sick at all.
How could she let Mitchel lock her up in the sanatorium? How could he make such a decision within
the Lloyd residence? Sariah snapped, “Your wife disrespected me and broke my favorite vase.
So] taught her a lesson.
What is wrong with it?” Hearing that, Mitchel chuckled.
“Raegan is my wife, so I naturally dote on her.
I allow her to do whatever she wants.
Even if she smashes the entire place, I won’t stop her.” As soon as he said this, Sariah and Tessa
panicked.
The expression on their faces drastically changed.

They had assumed Raegan was nothing to Mitchel.
They didn’t expect him to value Raegan this much.
How could it be possible? Wasn’t Lauren the woman Mitchel loved? Tessa was in utter disbelief.
She had seen how Mitchel spoiled Lauren all these years.
He was always there for Lauren.
In fact, she was even envious of Lauren because she thought Mitchel doted on Lauren.
Hearing his words, Raegan also raised her head and looked at Mitchel.
At this moment, she could see his sharp and angular side face under the light.
He looked delicate and handsome.
Her heartbeat went so fast that she quickly looked away.
It was her first time hearing Mitchel say those words.
He would allow her to smash the entire place? Could he really indulge her that much? Mitchel looked
into Sariah’s eyes and said harshly, “She’s my wife, so leave her alone.
Just mind your own business!” Raegan’s heart did a flip.
She realized that Mitchel only defended her because she was a member of the Dixon family.
Bullying her was equivalent to going against the Dixon family.
Naturally, Mitchel couldn’t allow it to happen.
Sariah was so angry that her hands couldn’t stop from shaking.
She cursed, “You brat! Do you still remember who I am? Let me remind you.
I am your grandmother, you bastard!” Mitchel sneered, “Grandmother? Mrs.
Lloyd, let me also remind you.
My grandmother passed away a long time ago.
Who are you?” Sariah’s face distorted with anger.
All these years, she never heard Mitchel call her grandma.
Indeed, he never recognized her as his grandmother.
But it was an undeniable fact.
She and Mitchel were not related by blood since she was Luciana’s stepmother.
So, Mitchel had enough reason not to regard her as a family.
He must be influenced by Luciana, who never accepted her all these years.
Soon, the bodyguard who went to inform Mitchel’s grandfather and great-grandfather about Sariah’s
sickness returned.
This time, Luciana had rushed over.
As soon as Luciana saw Raegan’s pitiful appearance, she immediately lost her temper.
She asked angrily, “Raegan, who did this to you?” Before Raegan could say anything, Luciana caught
sight of Tessa hiding behind Sariah.
She didn’t need to hear a word from Raegan to understand everything.
So she didn’t wait for Raegan’s answer anymore.
She rushed forward, grabbed Tessa’s hair, and dragged her to the front.
Tessa felt like her scalp was about to break.
She was so scared that she kept calling her mother’s name.
But unfortunately, Kenia was not here.
However, Luciana didn’t intend to show mercy.
A series of crisp slap sounds echoed in the room.
Luciana slapped Tessa in the face mercilessly.
She didn’t stop until she slapped Tessa ten times.
Tessa collapsed on the floor.
Her eyes were dull, and her hair was disheveled.
She covered her red and swollen face with both hands.
At this moment, the bodyguard stepped forward and reported, “Mr.
Dixon, your grandfather and great- grandfather said that it’s all up to you to decide.” The expression on
Sariah’s face drastically changed.
She yelled, “No, that’s impossible! I want to see them in person.
Take me to them!” But the bodyguards didn’t give Sariah a chance at all.
Instead, they dragged her out of the room directly under Mitchel’s orders.
Actually, Luciana’s father didn’t want to come to the scene at all.
He didn’t want to get involved.
After all, the future of the company was at stake here.
If he were to choose between Sariah and the company, he would choose the latter without hesitation.
Sariah kept cursing while the bodyguards dragged her out.
But Mitchel just ignored her as if he didn’t hear anything.
He bent down, picked Raegan up, and carried her out of the room.
Raegan didn’t expect Mitchel’s sudden behavior.
She was so startled that she subconsciously grabbed his shirt and looked at him with widened eyes.
Mitchel carried her all the way to the car and ordered the driver coldly, “To the hospital.” Raegan was
still in a daze.
Before she knew it, they had already arrived at the hospital.
Everything happened so fast.
She felt like she was in a dream and couldn’t wake up.
Mitchel got out of the car, picked her up, and carried her inside the hospital.
Raegan was still so absent- minded that she didn’t seem to notice it.
Mitchel couldn’t help frowning when he saw her like this.
He was a little worried.
So as soon as they entered the consultation room, he immediately ordered, “Tell Luis to come here
immediately.” It was only then that Raegan came back to her senses.
She struggled while saying, “Mitchel, put me down.
I can walk by myself.” However, Mitchel refused to let go of her.
He carried her to the bed of the VIP consultation room and covered her with the quilt.
“Don’t move.
Luis is coming to give you a thorough examination.” This time, his tone was gentle.
It was completely different from when he spoke to Sariah and Tessa.
But when Raegan heard what he said, she almost jumped out of the bed.
She quickly refused, “No, it’s not necessary.
I’m fine.” Once Luis came and checked on her, she could no longer hide her pregnancy.
As she spoke, Raegan lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
However, Mitchel immediately pressed her back.
“You can’t go anywhere until Luis checks on you,” he said peremptorily.
“Mitchel, believe me.
I really don’t need any examination,” Raegan insisted.
She even shook her hand to prove that she was fine.
But the next second, Mitchel grabbed her delicate hand.
She tried to pull it away, but he refused to let it go.
His charming eyes scanned her beautiful face.
Then he said gently, “If you don’t want Luis to check on you, I’ll do it myself.” Raegan’s face turned as
red as a freshly picked cherry.
Mitchel immediately understood her reaction.
He raised his eyebrows and said, “If you don’t want me to do it, be good then.” At this moment, the
distance between them was so close that Raegan could see her reflection in Mitchel’’s plercing eyes.
She couldn’t help but be reminded of the scene when Mitchel stormed into the room and blocked the
blow for her.
At that moment, he was like a beam of light that descended from the sky to protect her.
Until now, Raegan still couldn’t believe that Mitchel had really saved her.
She felt like everything was a dream.
Suddenly, her heart beat so wildly that she couldn’t control it.
But she couldn’t let Mitchel know about her baby yet.
She assumed he didn’t want it.
Raegan decided that she would never let Mitchel know the existence of the baby.
While she was racking her brain for the solution to her current situation, Luis came in.
When Luis saw them in such an intimate posture, he couldn’t help teasing, “Am I interrupting
something?” Raegan looked at Luis speechlessly.
Luis looked back at Raegan meaningfully.
“Would two hours be enough?” This time, Mitchel reacted.
He looked at Luis and snapped, “Cut the crap.
Hurry up.
Do your job now.” “All right, Raegan, we need your blood sample for the blood test.
Then let’s do a CT scan later.” Then Luis turned around and talked to the nurse, who followed him into
the room.
Raegan was so anxious that she didn’t know what to do.
Finally, she uttered an excuse in desperation, “I suddenly have a stomachache.
I need to go to the bathroom now.” “Really?” Mitchel asked suspiciously.
“Yes, really,” Raegan confirmed.
“Okay.
You are not feeling well, so I’ll go with you.” Raegan was even more flustered when she heard this.
She quickly refused, “No need.
I can go there by myself.” But the moment she stood up, Mitchel suddenly grabbed her hand, pressed it
against the wall, and asked, “Raegan, are you hiding something from me?” Raegan’s heart raced.
It was as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
Then, suddenly, a strong smell of blood penetrated her nostrils.
She covered her mouth to suppress the urge to vomit.
“Raegan, what’s wrong?” Mitchel looked Raegan up and down, trying to figure out what was going on.
“It’s nothing.
Don’t worry about me.
I’m fine.” Raegan felt so uncomfortable.
It seemed her heart was about to stop beating.
Was Mitchel suspecting something? Raegan was so nervous that her palms sweated profusely.
She was overthinking.
The image of Mitchel pressing her on the operating table to do an abortion flashed in her mind.
“No, I don’t want it! Stop it, please…” Raegan screamed and pushed Mitchel away.
Then, she ran out of the consultation room.
