Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 

Cedric was standing there, his scalp tingling with nerves. 

“Spill it, what did you do?” 

Cedric felt like bursting into tears and confessed honestly. “Mr. Dashiell, I swear I didn’t do much, just 

when I went to inform Mrs. Dashiell, I wanted her to feel sorry for you, so I might’ve exaggerated a bit, and showed her the video of the accident, that’s all, really.” 

Remington’s eyes gradually frosted over with anger, he knew Cedric must have done something to scare Lizetta like that. 

She was practically fainting when he caught her outside the ICU just now. 

off 

“Who told you to do this? Trying to show off that you have a big brain? More like a tumor!” 

Cedric turned as pale as a ghost. 

Remington had indeed only asked him to inform Lizetta about the stabbing, not even to have her come to the hospital. 

He took it upon himself to embellish the story and show her the video.. 

But wasn’t he just trying to do a good deed, to mend fences between them? 

How did his good intentions end up backfiring, like slapping the wrong end of a horse? 

Cedric felt so wronged, his face long with misery, “Mr. Dashiell, I just wanted Mrs. Dashiell to feel sorry for you, after all, you got hurt because of her. If she felt pity and guilt, she’d definitely make up with you. I didn’t expect that ICU mix–up.” 

Remington laughed dryly, “Are you fishing for compliments?” 

Cedric chuckled sheepishly, “Not at all, not at all, I’d be content just to be back by your side, at your beck 

and call. 

Seeing him still trying to be cute, Remington let out a snort of laughter. 

“My wife is pregnant, and the last thing a pregnant woman needs is a scare. Luckily, nothing happened, otherwise, if it affected me becoming a dad, I’d take you to be buried at sea!” 

Remington’s words were harsh, but his tone and expression were far from serious. 

He put the emphasis on “becoming a dad,” his voice tinged with restrained pride. 

After a moment of shock, Cedric exclaimed joyfully. 

“Mrs. Dashiell is pregnant? That’s fantastic!” 

“Why are you so over the moon about my wife being pregnant?” Remington’s gaze grew stem. 

Thinking about how his woman, who he couldn’t soothe just now at the ICU door, calmed down after a few words from Cedric, Remington’s eyes narrowed dangerously. 

Cedric felt his boss‘ gaze cutting into him like blades, sending a chill down his neck, and he hurriedly said, “I’m just happy for you, Mr. Dashiell. With Mrs. Dashiell pregnant, she surely won’t leave you.” 

Remington chuckled, “Are you saying my wife is staying by my side only because of the child?”

Cedric remained silent. 

Whether it was because of the child or not, Remington knew in his heart, didn’t he? 

But Cedric didn’t dare say it out loud; he shook his head and said with concern.
