Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Chapter 425 Embarrassed

Luis instinctively turned to Mitchel at Raegan's question. Noticing Mitchel's subtle signal, Luis responded swiftly, "We were just talking about a police report regarding a syringe found nearby. They think Lauren might have planned to use it for something bad."

Raegan felt doubtful but Mitchel shifted the conversation before she could ask further.

Settling down on the couch, Raegan noticed the bandage-covered wound on Mitchel's arm, vividly recalling his severe bleeding. Her concern got the better of her, prompting her to ask, "Is your arm okay now? Does it still hurt?"

Mitchel looked at her intently, raising an eyebrow, and said, "Are you concerned about me?"

His voice was deep and soothing, unexpectedly gentle.

Raegan felt her cheeks heat up but nodded anyway. Considering he had helped her again, expressing worry seemed the right thing to do...

A sense of satisfaction bloomed within Mitchel, feeling the wound was worth it if it meant earning a spot in her thoughts. He offered her a small smile. "It's just a minor cut."

Raegan expressed her skepticism, "Minor? You bled quite a bit..."

Mitchel explained, "I shielded most of it with my elbow, so it wasn't deep. It's healing well, and stitches weren't needed." Then, he lightly pinched her cheek, trying to ease her mind. "Don't fret about it."

Feeling the warmth from his touch, Raegan looked away, trying to hide her flustered mind.

Mitchel, finding her reaction amusing, teased her, "Come on. You're not concerned about me?"

He seemed confident in her answer.

Defiant yet embarrassed, Raegan retorted, "Who cares about you?"

Yet, Mitchel, catching her avoidant look, found her denial charming. Holding her face gently, he asked softly, "You're sure you're not worried about me?"

His deep gaze reflected Raegan's blushing face, her pulse quickening.

With a gentle tap on her chin, Mitchel teased, "You always denies your feelings..."
