On the third attempt, the call finally went through.
“What's up?” Mitchel asked impatiently.
But Raegan had no time to think about anything else.
She pleaded in a low voice, “Mitchel, can you come back? It’s about my grandma...Suddenly, a delicate female voice interrupted Raegan’s words.
“Mitchel...”
Raegan felt a crushing disappointment wash over her.
She thought it was her imagination and asked, “Are you with Lauren right now?”ANGELA'‘sLIBRARY

“Mitchel Dixon!” Raegan couldn't believe it. She questioned in a trembling voice, “Isn't it nighttime where you are? And you aretelling me you two are together?”
Frowning, Mitchel glanced at Lauren, who was resting on a hospital bed, and replied casually, “It’s not what you think. I'll explainto you when | get back.”
Then, Lauren’s sobs were heard. Holding the phone, Mitchel comforted Lauren gently.Raegan’s heart ached when she heard that. The sharp pain left her momentarily speechless.Tears welled in her eyes, silently streaming down her cheeks, their saltiness and bitterness almost tangible.
But she didn’t want to let her grandmother down. In a choked voice, Raegan asked again, “Mitchel, can you come back? Please,come back now, okay?”
Her words caused Mitchel’s heart to skip a beat.In his eyes, Raegan had always been strong, and rarely begged him in such a humble way.
His heart immediately softened.
“I'll be back soon. Just hang in there and wait for me at home, alright?”
Raegan’s voice trembled, “No, you don’t get it, Mitchel. My grandma.
“Raegan.” Hearing Lauren's pained cry, Mitchel couldn’t help but interrupt Raegan.
He thought Raegan was rushing him back because she was unhappy with him being with Lauren.But under the circumstances, he couldn’t leave Lauren alone overseas.
“| can’t leave now, Raegan. Lauren’s condition is critical at the moment.”
