Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1053

Lizetta knew that while she was unconscious for two days and nights, Jerome wouldn't have just sat around doing nothing.

Jerome's gaze turned heavy. "Get some rest first. This isn't urgent."

Lizetta knew he was only worried because she had just woken up; she was weak, and he didn't want her experiencing emotional turmoil.

But the memory of the car plunging through the guardrail into the deep lake, the sheer terror of being sealed inside as freezing water quickly filled the cabin, and the suffocating despair of having no way out—how could she possibly rest peacefully?

Her lips parted to argue, but Remington stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, and pulled her into his arms. He looked over at Jerome.

"She's not that fragile. Tell us what's going on."

Remington had spent the last two days solely focused on Lizetta, completely tuning out the outside world. He had no idea what the situation was with the Madden family or what Jerome had uncovered.

Seeing this, Jerome nodded. "The car has been pulled from the water. The police took it in to determine the exact cause of the mechanical failure, and they'll provide an objective report. I also pulled some strings and had a trusted specialist sit in on the inspection."

Lizetta nodded slightly. "It wasn't just the brakes. In the end, the doors and windows wouldn't open at all."

Whoever was behind this hadn't intended to leave her with even a sliver of hope for survival.

Hearing Lizetta confirm this, both Jerome and Remington's already grim expressions darkened considerably.

Remington's arm around Lizetta's waist tightened fiercely, a chilling frost settling in his eyes.
