Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 

Cedric looked troubled, but then gritted his teeth and nodded. 

“Mrs. Dashiell, do you still remember Daniel?” 

Of course, Lizetta remembered that scumbag who tried to get fresh with her. She had whacked him one good, and later, he got what was coming to him. While in the hospital, someone seeking revenge castrated him, and the whole debacle even hit the news. 

She had seen that news piece and even buzzed Remington to see if he had a hand in Daniel’s fate. 

Remington acted clueless about the whole thing, so she didn’t think much of it. 

But now, when Lizetta heard Cedric suddenly bring up that name again, her already pale face looked even more fragile. 

Her voice trembling, she asked, “Could it be that Daniel’s incident was really Remi’s doing? What’s the deal between that crazy woman and Daniel?” 

Cedric let out a sigh, “I won’t hide it from you, Mrs. Dashiell, Daniel committed suicide in prison last month, and the woman who stabbed the president is Daniel’s mom, Iris March. Iris had only Daniel for a child. After the mess he caused, the March family’s reputation took a nosedive, and their business tanked. Daniel’s dad divorced Iris, hooked up with his side chick, and even brought his love child home. Iris was devastated, and on top of that, she was diagnosed with late–stage pancreatic cancer recently. Clearly a goner, she decided to go all out for revenge.” 

When Cedric finished speaking, Lizetta’s hands twisted together tightly. She felt weak, like her strength was sapped away, leaning back in her chair. 

She hadn’t anticipated that Remington had orchestrated Daniel’s incident. 

And now, because of it, he was facing this bloody disaster. Daniel had it coming, really. 

“It’s my fault, all because of me.” 

Lizetta muttered, her eyes brimming with tears. 

Seeing her like this, Cedric was indignant on her behalf. 

“Please don’t think that way, Mrs. Dashiell, Mr. Dashiell wouldn’t want you to think like that either. You’re the victim, not the perp. It’s Iris who raised a son without a shred of decency, causing harm to so many girls and families. Daniel getting jailed was just deserts. Iris not reflecting on her failure as a parent and coming after Mr. Dashiell for revenge just shows the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!” 

However, Cedric’s words didn’t sink in for Lizetta. 

She was overwhelmed with guilt and worry, thinking back to her last call with Remington where she had cursed him with harsh words. 

The unease and sorrow in her heart entwined around it like vines, making it hard for her to breathe. 

A sharp pain came from her lower abdomen, and Lizetta bent over slightly, pressing down with her hand. 

“Joy, are you blaming me too? Are you worried about your daddy as well?” 

At the hospital, Lizetta followed Cedric to the ICU entrance. Before they could even ask the doctor if they could go in, doctors and nurses with somber expressions came out.

Lizetta immediately approached, grabbing the doctor’s arm. 

“Doctor, is he out of danger?” 

“Are you family? What took you so long!” 

The doctor frowned and sighed, “Sorry, we did all we could. The patient just passed away, at least it was peaceful. Go in and say your goodbyes.” 

Lizetta felt the world spin, letting go of the doctor’s arm. 

The doctor left with the nurses, and Lizetta saw the scene inside the room.
