Chapter 424 He's Really Worried About Her

Mitchel tried to keep his voice steady, but it still shook a bit. Matteo, who was driving earlier, had coached Mitchel on what to say to trick the kidnapper.

At the same time, Matteo arranged for someone to locate Raegan. But the tracking was vague, only showing an area close to Raegan's studio, which wasn't very precise.

They split up to look for Raegan.

Then, following Raegan's cries for help, Mitchel found her at last! Those minutes spent searching felt like torture to him. He even regretted getting mad at her and letting a meeting hold him up. The thought of something bad happening to Raegan was too much to bear.

Mitchel went quiet, lowered his head, and hugged Raegan even tighter.

A tear from Mitchel wetted Raegan's cheek, and its warmth made her shudder. Was Mitchel crying? Though it was just a single tear, it profoundly moved Raegan.

Being held closely by Mitchel, Raegan heard his heart beating faster than hers. Was he frightened and worried about her? O

At that moment, Raegan couldn't find it in herself to be distant or push Mitchel away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around him. His suit, usually so sleek and detached, now seemed to radiate a comforting warmth. She clenched her fingers around him, letting herself get lost in this warmth for a moment.

Behind them, the man casting sleazy looks, realizing his luck was running out, tried to escape. But he had barely gotten up before another sharply dressed man, precisely Matteo, knocked him down.

"Ah! Ah!" Another yell broke the silence.

It dawned on the man belatedly that he was no match for Matteo, whose strong build indicated regular workout.

Matteo stepped on the man's uninjured hand, demanding, "Talk! Why did you kidnap her?"

"Ah!" The man's face was contorted into a grotesque expression. "I didn't hurt her. I just took a little bit of her blood..."

He abruptly stopped, recalling the warning over the phone, aware that revealing too much would lead to dire consequences. Even though men involved in shady deals like him had heard plenty of menacing words, it was only when the man over the phone spoke that he felt a real shiver down his spine. For the first time, he was genuinely scared.

But Matteo had heard enough and pressed on, "You took her blood? Why take her blood?"
