Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 940

Jerome furrowed his brow, his gaze at Lizetta filled with obvious confusion and concern.

Lizetta's eyelashes fluttered slightly. "Of course, I remember everything."

Jerome's lips parted, but he couldn't find the words. A bitter taste seemed to spread through his mouth.

After a moment, he sighed and said, "I understand. Even though you remember the hurt and the pain, you're still willing to trust him again, willing to give him another chance, right?"

Jerome's eyes, locked onto Lizetta, grew darker.

Lizetta pressed her lips together, her cheeks flushing slightly. She felt a bit foolish, even to herself.

After all, she'd left Zion City so resolutely, with Jerome's help.

And now, to forgive Remington so easily—it felt a bit like betraying her own resolve.

"Bro, I just want to give us another chance."

Jerome's grip on her hand tightened, emotions simmering in his eyes.

This made Lizetta a little nervous.

She instinctively pulled her hand back, causing the teacup to wobble, spilling some of the hot tea onto her hand.

"Ouch," Lizetta gasped.

Jerome seemed pulled back from his thoughts by her cry of pain. He frowned and quickly took the teacup, setting it on the table.

Then he stood, pulling Lizetta to the nearby sink, running cool water over her reddened hand.

"Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I got a bit lost in thought."

The water felt refreshing against her skin.

But really, only a small splash had landed on Lizetta's hand. Jerome's wrist had taken the brunt of it.

Seeing the reddened skin on Jerome's wrist, Lizetta felt a twist of emotion.

"Bro, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt. But your hand, you should rinse it well."
