Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 

Remington’s mouth was covered, but his thin lips were slightly moving, a muffled sound sneaking through Lizetta’s fingers, “Liz, it’s not that I don’t want you to get pregnant, it’s just that I can’t bear to 

He had been wheeled into surgery yesterday and naturally hadn’t had the chance to spruce himself up this morning 

A stubble of short, rigid whiskers were poking out, casting a faint shadow of blue across his face, which, as he chuckled softly, tickled Lizetta’s palm with a funny, tingling sensation. 

Lizetta withdrew her hand, her heart racing, as she gave him a hard stare 

“Even so, you can’t just say something that outrageous! Do you realize that you mentioned getting rid of the baby if we had one! Joy heard it too that day, after you left, I went to the bathroom and threw up the birth control pills, ended up retching for ages. I was freaking out, scared out of my wits, I even dreamed that I told you about the baby and you were not even slightly happy, and you wanted to push me onto the operating table” 

Remington pursed his lips and grabbed Lizetta’s hand, intertwining their fingers. 

Tm sorry, but back then I had just found out about Joseph’s condition, that it wasn’t looking good, so I sent both our blood samples abroad for a comprehensive genetic test. There’s a cousin on the Evert family side who also had leukemia. It hit him hard, and he didn’t make it past twenty.” 

Lizetta wasn’t too familiar with Hanna’s relatives, this was new to her. 

Lizetta stopped in her tracks, “Do you suspect that this illness is passed down through the maternal genes?” 

Remington nodded, “Yes, I was afraid I might also carry the recessive gene for the disease and wanted to get it checked out. That’s why I said what I did before the results came in.” 

Lizetta’s face went pale for a moment, then she gripped Remington’s hand tightly. 

“So, have the results come in yet?” 

Remington leaned down and gently kissed Lizetta’s trembling lips, “Don’t worry, Joy will be perfectly healthy.” 

The tests came back good; Joseph’s leukemia wasn’t due to a genetic defect. 

Lizetta’s heart, which had been in her throat, settled back down. 

Shocked to her core, she felt weak at the knees and nestled into Remington’s embrace, becoming quite 

docile. 

In the quiet hospital room, the sounds got steamier by the second. 

Lizetta tilted her head back, going from resisting to unconsciously wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing into his kiss. 

Remington’s hand, no longer dry but burning hot, slipped under Lizetta’s loose sweater, eagerly roaming over her soft, delicate back. 

Just as his fingers were deftly undoing her bra clasp, the hospital room door suddenly swung open. 

“Dr. Isaac, please.”

It was Cedric’s voice, clearly bringing the doctor in to check on Remington. 

His voice cut off abruptly when he saw the heated mess on the bed. 

The man on the bed locked eyes with him, cold as a blade.
