Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1269

Jerome looked at Eartha with absolute disdain.

"Prep the OR. You're getting the surgery today."

Eartha finally turned her attention to him, letting out a mocking laugh.

"See? Was that so hard? I'll need a week in the hospital to recover. Once I'm stable, you arrange my flight out, and I'll arrange for the boy to come home."

She smirked, adding casually, "By the way, did Remington run back to Zion City? How cute. Does he actually think the most dangerous place is the safest? As if I'd be stupid enough to hide the kid in his own territory. Tell him to stop wasting his time. I expect him here tomorrow. If I don't see his face, your precious Joy is going to pay the price."

Jerome raised a cold eyebrow. "If the boy isn't in Zion City, why are you so desperate to have Remington here?"

Eartha shot him a look of pure contempt, as if he were an idiot.

"Believe what you want. But mark my words—you are never finding him."

Lizetta trembled slightly, swaying on her feet as if the emotional blows were finally breaking her.

Jerome shot Eartha one last dirty look before wrapping an arm around Lizetta and guiding her out of the room.

The second the door clicked shut behind them, Lizetta stepped smoothly out of Jerome's hold. She glanced back at the door, her eyes now gleaming with sharp, freezing calculation. The fragile, tearful act vanished without a trace.

A few hours later, Eartha was wheeled toward the operating room.

Right before passing through the double doors, paranoia spiked in her chest. She glared fiercely at Lizetta.
