Chapter 493 Not Mitchel's Child Mitchel glared at Luciana, sighing. Then, he took Raegan's hand and left without saying a word.

The instant Katie sensed their absence, she stopped shaking and calmed down immediately. She hugged Luciana. "Thank you," she said.

Luciana's expression was somewhat dull. "For what? We're like a family," she answered in a monotone.

"Of course," Katie said, laughing softly. "But with everything that's happened, it's almost time for your medication. I'll get it for you." After Katie left, Luciana stared at the ceiling, thinking hard about what happened this morning. The dizziness had come from the water Katie gave her. Her fall was caused by the handrail suddenly coming loose. But why did it come loose? Luciana knew all too well that strange things only happened whenever Katie was around, suggesting Katie was the behind all those "accidents."

However, Luciana grasped Katie's leaving this household would spell more disasters for Mitchel and Raegan. That was why Luciana had adamantly kept Katie close.

Besides, she felt the urge not to rouse Katie's suspicion.

As Katie's silhouette emerged in the doorway, Luciana's countenance illuminated with a smile. "Do not exert yourself," she said gently.

"It's alright," Katie replied, handing Luciana a glass of water and a pill. She watched Luciana take them.

"Try to get some sleep," Katie suggested. Yet, Luciana had succumbed to slumber before Katie could say anymore.

In the CEO's office of the Dixon Group, Mitchel sat in his chair, deep in thought.

The room was silent until he spoke with a calm authority.
