Chapter 81
Late Repentance Mitchel felt like an invisible hand clutched his heart hard.
It hurt so bad that he could hardly breathe. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
He knew Raegan well.
She had always been a gentle person.
How could she be forced into this situation? Tessa, who had a narrow escape from death, finally regained her breathing.
She coughed violently.
Kenia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tessa was fine.
She turned to Raegan and scolded, "You bitch! How dare you strangle my daughter!” "She only deserves it!" Raegan retorted without scruples.
She was still fuming with rage.
Kenia was shocked by the anger in Raegan’s eyes.
She felt a little scared and took a step back.
At this moment, Raegan’s body seemed filled with terrifying murderous intent.
When Tessa came to her senses, she was so scared that she cried and shouted hysterically, "Mom! Mom, she tries to kill me.
Please help me beat her to death!" It broke Kenia's heart to see Tessa like this.
As a mother, of course, she couldn't let her daughter be wronged.
So she turned around and reached out to pull Raegan's hair.
But before she could even touch Raegan, she was kicked out of the door with a bang.
Mitchel didn't want to even spare a glance at Kenia and Tessa.
He ordered in disgust, "Drag them out of here.
If they dare to show up again, throw them into the river directly." Now that Kenia and Tessa were driven out, the church finally regained its peace.
Mitchel knelt in front of Raegan's grandmother's portrait and kowtowed three times.
After paying homage to Raegan's grandmother, he walked up to Raegan.
His heart was filled with regret and remorse when he looked at her face as pale as a sheet.
He felt like a giant fist punched his heart.
And his agony didn't seem to stop.
She called him and begged him to come back to see her grandmother for the last time.
But what did he say? He called her mischievous, childish, and vicious.
He even told her to calm herself down.
When Raegan was desperate for help, he was too cold -hearted to refuse her request.
He even used those harsh words to scold her.
He let her grandmother pass away with regrets.
He was such a jerk! All he could say now was, "Raegan...
I’m sorry..." Mitchel knelt beside Raegan with regret and pity in his eyes.
He reached out, wanting to hold her hand.
However, Raegan brushed off his hand coldly.
At this moment, her eyes were red and swollen.
Her long hair was disheveled, and her mourning dress was wrinkled.
She didn't look decent at all.
But Raegan couldn't care less.
She didn't care about anything now.
After all, her heart had died.
She no longer cared about other people's opinions.
Raegan looked at Mitchel indifferently and said coldly, "Mr.
Dixon, you may leave now." Mitchel's heart sank to the bottom upon hearing this.
She called him Mr.
Dixon.
Before he went abroad for his business trip, she wrapped her arms around his neck, looked at him with bright eyes, and called him honey.
And the way she said it was so sweet that it melted his heart.
From that moment on, he wished to spend the rest of his life with her.
But what happened now? Why was her tone very indifferent? She sounded like once he left the church, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other anymore.
Upon realizing this, Mitchel's handsome face turned pale.
Bitterness immediately filled his eyes.
But he still wanted to explain, "Raegan, I know you are angry with me.
But...
didn't know if what you said was true..." But before he could finish his words, Raegan interrupted him coldly, "Mr.
Dixon, do you want me to call the police?" Mitchel was in disbelief.
How could she be this ruthless? But his heart also panicked.
He knew he couldn't lose her.
He couldn't afford to lose her.
Not wanting to give up, he reached out, wanting to hold her again.
"Raegan, I'm sorry...” However, his repentance was too late.
Raegan was not moved at all.
She even shouted in his face, "Get out of my face!" Luciana also hated the fact that Raegan couldn't forgive Mitchel.
She wanted to help her son.
But she knew that it wouldn't do him any good if he continued to stay here.
His presence would only infuriate Raegan even more.
So she raised his fist, punched Mitchel on the back, and ordered coldly, "Get out and kneel outside!" When Mitchel looked at Raegan, Raegan's eyes were empty and red.
Actually, she had been trying hard to hold back her tears.
She didn't even look at him.
Luciana noticed that Mitchel remained motionless.
Obviously, he was unwilling to leave.
Luciana had no choice but to drag him out of the church and let him kneel at the entrance.
Mitchel rarely looked gaunt.
When Luciana saw him look like this now, she couldn't help scolding, “You just reaped what you sowed.
Kneel here and wait until Raegan cools off." Mitchel lowered his head.
He didn't say anything.
Not long after, the rain began to fall outside.
And it got heavier.
Mitchel was kneeling at the side door of the church.
The rain had drenched his expensive suit, but he didn't mind.
He still knelt there, no matter how cold he was.
People who saw him thought he was repenting sincerely.
When Raegan raised her head, she saw Mitchel in this miserable situation.
If this were in the past, her heart would have already softened, and she would have chosen to forgive him.
But now, it was different.
She ignored his presence this time.
It turned out that this was how it felt when a person's love for someone gradually dissipated.
She had no feelings for him anymore.
When she looked at him, she was calm, as if she was watching a stranger.
In the afternoon, Hector came to the church.
Raegan was surprised as she didn't expect his presence.
Hector walked past Mitchel without even looking at him.
Hector stood in front of the portrait, put down the funeral bouquet, and bowed down solemnly.
Then he walked to Raegan.
At the thought that Hector had helped her several times, Raegan would like to thank him.
But she moved so abruptly that she felt dizzy.
Fortunately, Hector was agile enough to catch her in time.
She managed to regain her balance.
Mitchel saw all this, and it made him feel uncomfortable.
For him, their interaction was an eyesore.
And he also wondered how Raegan and Hector knew each other.
Hector didn't stay long.
After paying homage to Raegan's grandmother and talking with Raegan for a moment, he said goodbye to her and left.
But when he reached the entrance, Mitchel called, "Hector..." Hector stopped, turned his head, and looked at Mitchel expressionlessly.
Mitchel pulled a long face.
"Raegan is my wife, you know.” There was an obvious warning in his voice.
But as he spoke, he stared at Hector as if trying to figure out Hector's purpose for coming here.
After all, Hector was his uncle.
Others thought Hector hadn't married yet because he hadn't had enough fun.
But Mitchel knew that Hector was only pretending.
The truth was Hector had someone in his heart.
In fact, Hector even went against Kyler for this woman.
However, Mitchel knew that woman had nothing to do with Raegan.
He heard that the woman was the daughter of an eminent family.
So, at this moment, he was not sure about Hector’s intention in getting close to Raegan.
Hector replied calmly, "Yes, I know that she is your wife.
But only for the time being.” For the time being? These words could have different meanings.
Upon hearing this, Mitchel's face suddenly turned ghastly pale.
After saying this, Hector turned around and left.
He didn't want to talk to Mitchel anymore.
Mitchel could only watch Hector’s receding back, clenching his fists tightly.
Soon, the night fell, and it was time for dinner.
Raegan only had a sip of water to moisten her lips.
Other than that, she didn't eat anything.
Mitchel saw this from the door.
He wanted to get up and persuade Raegan to get some food.
But he realized that he was not in the position to do so.
In the evening, Raegan stayed in the church.
She didn't intend to sleep.
This was the last night she could be with her grandmother because her grandmother would be buried in the graveyard tomorrow morning.
It was still raining outside, and Mitchel was kneeling at the door.
Some time had passed, but he remained on his knees.
He thought this was the last thing he could do to pay tribute to Raegan’'s grandmother.
Luciana looked at Mitchel at the door, then at Raegan.
She couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
Weren't they a lovely couple? How did they become like this? Kyler was still in the hospital, so she didn't dare to let him know about what was going on.
Since Luciana wasn't in good condition, she couldn't stay up all night.
After staying beside Raegan for a while, she asked Kendra to take her place.
They took turns in keeping an eye on Raegan.
Raegan had not eaten anything for three days and only relied on a few sips of water.
Luciana felt sorry for Raegan.
She was worried that Raegan's body might not hold on.
Soon, the sun started peeking through the horizon and slowly rose to the sky.
Raegan followed the customs.
She wore the mourning dress and sent her grandmother off to the grave.
This was her last goodbye to her grandmother.
Holding her grandmother's photo in her arms, her thin body stood steadily in front of the grave.
It was still drizzling, but she didn't seem to care.
At this moment, Mitchel stood behind her with a black umbrella in his hand to protect her from the rain.
Unexpectedly, a crowd gathered in front of the grave.
They were people from Raegan's neighborhood.
It was Mitchel who told Matteo to inform them and ask them to see Raegan's grandmother off.
Raegan's grandmother had been kind all her life.
She had a good reputation in the neighborhood, and everybody loved her.
So when the news about her passing spread, even those who didn't know Raegan'’s grandmother personally came to see her off.
The grave of Raegan's grandmother was not far from her father's.
When the cemetery workers were about to put the urn into the grave, Raegan suddenly pounced on it and cried hoarsely, "Grandma...
Thank you for being my grandma...
You always make me feel happy and loved.
Please don't forget me.
We will meet again in the next life.
By then, we will still be family.
And I will be the one to take care of you..." Tears welled up in Raegan's eyes.
All the people who witnessed this scene couldn't help crying, too.
After everything was settled, the people around dispersed.
Raegan seemed to have taken her last breath.
Her face was horribly pale, and she no longer had the strength to even stand.
When she attempted to step forward, she staggered.
Mitchel quickly reached out to hold her arm and called out softly, "Raegan...”
