NovelEnglishRaegan's Betrayal As soon as Luciana stepped into the ward, she sensed the thick tension hanging in the air between Mitchel
and Raegan.
She was fuming with anger and could not resist the urge to scold Mitchel.
“Raegan's carrying your child, for heaven's sake.
Could you just stop fighting with her? Give her some space.
Why don't you go get the ultrasound report from the doctor?” Luciana was quite perceptive.
She knew all too well that men often did not pick up on emotional nuances as keenly as women did.
They had first learned about Raegan's pregnancy through a blood test.
Later on, Luciana accompanied Raegan to get an ultrasound for a more detailed look.
Sending Mitchel to fetch the ultrasound report was part of Luciana’s plan.
She figured that seeing the baby’s image for himself would be a wake-up call for Mitchel.
He would then surely regret giving Raegan a hard time.
Sensing Raegan’s discomfort, Mitchel decided to stop the stalemate.
With that, he made his way to the Luciana's condition had been far from ideal, especially because she had been going through
hoops to be by Raegan’s side.
‘Therefore, Mitchel arranged for someone to take Luciana home so she could rest.
However, Luciana refused to go back and insisted, "I have to be here to take care of Raegan." “Mom, I'll take it from here,”
Mitchel asserted, Luciana hoped Mitchel and Raegan would reconcile, so she said nothing more and left the room.
But before she walked out of the door, Mitchel said to her, "Mom, let’s keep the news about Raegan's pregnancy from my
grandpa for now.” “Why?" Luciana queried, taken aback.
"He would be thrilled to know he's going to be a great-grandfather soon.” "Let's just wait until Raegan’s condition is more stable.”
Luciana was hesitant for a while.
Considering that Raegan was still early in her pregnancy, Mitchel’s request seemed reasonable.
At the thought of this, she gave a nod and left.
Meanwhile, Raegan was puzzled.
She had assumed Mitchel would want to share the news with Kyler, especially since Kyler would likely intervene to prevent them
from getting a divorce.
She could not bear the thought of making Kyler depressed by knowing about their upcoming divorce.
Yet, she never expected Mitchel would ask Luciana to keep the pregnancy a secret from Kyler.
At this moment, she could not tell what was going on in Mitchel's mind.
While she was engrossed in her thoughts, Mitchel approached her.
Mitchel stopped a meter from her bed.
For some reason, his angular features were unusually cold and menacing.
He lifted his hand, and the ultrasound report unfurled before her.
“Fifteen weeks? Can you explain this?” A wave of confusion washed over Raegan.
She grabbed the ultrasound report, and it indeed stated she had been fifteen weeks pregnant.
How could this be? She was certain the baby was only ten weeks old.
Why did the ultrasound indicate fifteen weeks? Well, her menstrual cycles had always been somewhat irregular.
Could she have miscalculated? But even that did not add up.
Racgan thought back to when Mitchel had returned from his overseas trip.
After a month-long absence, they had been intimate twice on the porch, and he had been rather persistent the rest of the night.
Seeing Raegan's silence, the hopeful glimmer in Mitchel’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by sheer disappointment.
“Don't you have anything to say?” Raegan only stared at the ultrasound report.
Maybe she should run another test.
After all, hospitals made mistakes, too.
To Mitchel, however, her silence was guilt.
At this realization, disappointment shrouded his handsome face, and he scoffed.
"So that's it, huh? No wonder you said it was your child.” “It's not that..." Raegan subconsciously tried to explain.
Mitchel suddenly grabbed Raegan's shoulder and roared, "Then explain yourself!” His fingers dug into her flesh, and Raegan
feared her shoulders would be crushed.
Raegan bit her lip and tried her best to contain her anger.
Mitchel’s erratic behavior was proof that there was no trust between them.
His request to Luciana to keep the pregnancy a secret from Kyler must be because he did not believe her.
He doubted it was his baby.
If he could not trust her, why should she offer any explanation? Whatever she said, Mitchel would not believe it anyway.
Raegan’s round eyes turned misty as she looked at Mitchel defiantly.
"I have nothing to say.” “Is that so?" Mitchel chuckled bitterly.
"Do you hate me that much that you'd lie about this thing? Do you have any idea how happy | was when I found out you Were
pregnant?” It was true that Mitchel was over the moon when he first learned that Raegan was pregnant.
But now, it felt as though his dream had shattered into a million pieces.
He had always believed that Raegan would never be unfaithful and that he would find a way to win her back.
He never anticipated she would betray him like this..
She was 15 weeks pregnant? Holy shit! The thought of when they had had sex many times over the past three months made
How could he have made love with such a woman? The mere thought disgusted him.
In a fit of anger, Mitchel gritted his teeth and demanded, “Who is he, Raegan? Who's your lover?" Raegan’s grip tightened on the
quilt, and her face turned alarmingly pale.
However, Mitchel kept pushing her, and his anger had made him lose control.
"Is it Henley? Or Hector?” The memory of the time when he saw Hector holding Raegan’s hand in the church and Hector's
evasive answers flashed through his mind.
With his eyes narrowed into slits, Mitchel bellowed, “How could you be so thirsty? Even animals know who to fuck!” His words
struck Raegan like daggers, which sliced open wounds she had been trying to heal.
Tears threatened to spill, but she fought to hold them back.
After two years of marriage, this was what he thought of her? She should not have had any expectations from him in the first
place.
If this misunderstanding could liberate her from this suffocating marriage and protect her child from being taken away, then she
was willing to swallow this bitter pill.
“You're absolutely right.
Let's get a divorce," Raegan said, her voice unwavering.
“You cheated on me, and you're carrying another man's child.
And now, you have the nerve to talk about a divorce?" Mitchel scoffed, his tone cold and eyes bloodshot.
Raegan could not help but laugh.
"If you're so sure the baby isn't yours, what are you going to do? Play the doting dad? Even if you want to, | won't let my child
have a father like you." Raegan’s words sliced through Mitchel like a razor- sharp sword, which pierced right through his heart.
Blood gushed out of his throat and he sneered, "You dare to say it again!" Mitchel’s eyes were icy.
If looks could kill, Raegan would have dropped dead.
Raegan knew that if she said one more word out of line, he would not hesitate to strangle her right there and then.
All Raegan wanted was to sever this tie once and for all.
Even if it meant putting her life on the line with Mitchel, she would do it.
At this moment, Raegan looked into his livid eyes and let out a chuckle.
"Mitchel, I'm sick of you.
You're right.
| cheated on you, and the baby isn't yours.
Now, let's get a divorce.
After that, we can go our separate ways.” They should never see each other again.
As soon as she dropped the bombshell, the room became eerily quiet.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the ward dropped to the freezing point.
“You wish! Don't even dream about it!" Mitchel snapped.
With a sudden burst of rage, he lunged forward.
His hands then closed around Raegan'’s throat and squeezed it with all his strength.
