Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1011

Thaddeus Gardenia didn't see this as a minor issue. Afraid that his sister wasn't taking it seriously, his tone grew even sterner.

Lizetta was speechless. She wanted to explain that Jerome Madden was family, but saying that would unravel a whole string of secrets. Though Thaddeus was recovering decently, he had only recently woken up from a long coma, and his body was still recuperating. The doctors had warned against subjecting him to any major shocks. For now, Liz decided it was best to keep her true parentage and the messy affairs of Hans and Jolin Gardenia hidden from him.

"I understand, Thaddeus. I know what I'm doing," she finally replied, offering no real explanation.

However, her vague answer only made Thaddeus more concerned. He continued to nag, "As long as you know your limits. A marriage can be strong, but it's also incredibly fragile when faced with suspicion and boundary-crossing. That Mr. Madden... just don't get too close to him."

Thaddeus still believed Liz was his biological sister. Having been in a coma for two years, his memory of her was still that of a twenty-year-old girl. Knowing that her marriage was built on an unequal footing and that Remington Dashiell's temper wasn't easy to deal with, he couldn't help but offer extra advice.

"I know, Thaddeus," Liz nodded, bracing herself.

Suddenly, a lazy, amused voice drifted from behind her. "I think your brother makes a great point. Honey, you really should listen to him."

Remington had walked back into the room at some point and clearly overheard Thaddeus's warning. As he chimed in, Liz shot him a fierce glare. She couldn't fathom how his acting skills were so impeccable. He had only put on a couple of acts in Thaddeus's hospital room, yet somehow he had completely won her brother over. He knew exactly what the real situation was, yet he had the audacity to join in and poke fun at her.
