A Close Call At seven o'clock the next morning, Raegan got up and was ready to go to the court for the divorce.
Her appointment was for half past nine.
It was still early, so she decided to take a bus there.
The episode at the shopping mall had_ spoiled Raegan's mood and didn't want to dine out with Nicole.
When she got back home, she realized the baby’s clothes she brought were missing.
She called the shopping mall, but they couldn't find them either.
Perhaps someone else had picked up the bag.
Once the bus arrived at her stop, she texted Mitchel, telling him she had arrived.
It dawned on her that the last time she texted him was before Lauren's return.
The text read, "Honey, when will you be back home?" It was from the day she learned about her pregnancy.
At first, she wanted to break the news to him via text, but she thought it would be better to do it in person.
Things didn't go as planned.
A lot had changed since then.
Most of the messages in the chat were from her.
Mitchel rarely replied, but when he did, he replied briefly.
She didn't think so much about this before.
But going through the chat history now, it appeared Mitchel had always shown his lack of love for her.
Sadness crept into her heart again.
She quickly cleared the chat, deciding not to dwell on that ugly past anymore.

As she walked toward the bureau, she heard someone shout, "Thief!" A figure in all-black clothes appeared out of nowhere and
pushed Raegan aside.
He was clutching a red purse and running away like the devil was on his tail.
Fortunately, Raegan supported her weight with one knee before her body could hit the hard ground.
A woman in a red dress ran after the thief.
Suddenly, she tripped and fell, spraining her ankle.
She looked at the passers-by with a painful expression and pleaded, “Help...
Somebody help me, please.
Some important drugs are in that bag.
My sick husband needs them ASAP." Although there were a few passersby, no one offered to help despite her cry.
They just looked on as if they were watching a live drama.
Seeing this, Raegan shot to her feet.
She gave the thief a hot chase while shouting, "Hey, you! Stop right there! Someone stop him! He's a thief!” Her shout drew the
attention of the passers-by in front.
The thief looked back at her and increased his speed.
Raegan did the same.
In a matter of seconds, the distance between her and the thief was shortened.

She used to be the star of the track team when she was in school.
Catching up with this thief was going to be a piece of cake for her.
She continued to shout, "Drop the bag right now! Don't let the thief go.
Stop him!" The thief was so scared that he didn't know when he ran into a dead end.

panted and cursed, "Fuck you! Are you out of your mind? Why did you chase me? The bag isn't even yours!" Raegan looked at the face of the blonde thief, only to discover that he was rather young. She panted and said kindly, "Hand over the bag and turn yourself in. Trust me, this is not the right way to go. You are still young." "Fine, if you want the bag, then come and get it." The thief threw the bag at

sun had reflected on the blade of the knife the very moment he pulled it out. Raegan reacted quickly. She pulled his shoulder and tilted her entire body to the side. The knife only bruised Raegan’'s arm as the young man struggled to remain standing. With a clang, the knife fell to the ground. The thief lost it in an instant.

like she was some monster. Afterward, he withdrew his hand as if the knife was as hot as coal. The two of them stared at each other. Bang! A cop kicked the thief and pinned him to the ground in a trice. Raegan, who had lost a lot of blood, collapsed to the ground. "Oh my God!" With teary eyes, the lady in red ran over and knelt by

Thank you so much, miss.
Don't say anything more.
Let me send you to the hospital now." Minutes later, the ambulance arrived in front of an hospital.
A doctor examined Raegan and determined she wasn’t badly injured.
Raegan only had a few bruises and a cut in her palm.
As the doctor stitched the cut, the woman whose purse was stolen, stayed by Raegan's side the whole time.
Raegan buried her face in the woman's shoulder, too scared to look at the needle.
She had a phobia for needles and had a low tolerance for pain since she was little.
