Chapter 299 

Lizetta was getting all choked up, hands on her hips, looking like a cat puffing itself up and arching its back in a big show of bravado. 

Remington was taken aback, mached out to wrap his arms around her waist, and guided her to the bed while holding her close, asking. “What’s got into you? Bump into somebody out there? Something happen?” 

Lizetta glared at him, “Nice try changing the subject” 

Remington’s lips pressed into a thin line, “Youll find out about this later” 

Seeing him dodge the issue again, Lizetta felt a surge of disappointment flood her heart. 

Thinking about Evelina’s smug certainty not long ago, Lizetta fixed a smile on Remington and asked again, “So after Joy is born, does that mean Joy has to call Evelina’s bun in the oven elder brother?” 

Apparently, Remington didn’t catch the hint of danger in her smile. Holding Lizetta around the waist, he didn’t seem to think there was any issue and nodded slightly, “Yeah, that kid’s gonna be a tad older than Joy. If it’s a boy, sure, he’ll be the elder brother. The two kids growing up together like brothers won’t be so lonely” 

Lizetta’s heart went cold hearing this. Joy calling that kid elder brother and getting along like siblings? 

Would Evelina, the mother of that child, keep popping up in her life? 

If her kid needed siblings, she could pop out a second or even a third herself, no need for Evelina to pitch in and give Joy a brother. 

Such a pain in the neck! 

Lizetta let out a hollow laugh, her voice cooling down, “And what if I say I’m not okay with this? I don’t like Evelina, and I sure won’t like her kid” 

Remington’s brows knitted together, his tone growing heavier, “Evelina is Evelina, but the kid is just a kid. Lizetta, nobody’s asking you to like Evelina, but you’re not so petty that you can’t make room in your heart for a child, are you?” 

He was getting mad. Just moments ago, she was his sweetheart, but the moment Evelina came up, she tumed back into Lizetta. 

So not wanting Evelina’s kid suddenly meant she’s narrow–minded? 

Lizetta reached out to tug at Remington’s arms wrapped around her waist, struggling as she spoke, “Right. I am petty, selfish, and narrow–minded, you’ve known me long enough.” 

“Don’t be unreasonable puch!” 

In the struggle, Lizetta accidentally punched Remington in the stomach, making him let out a sharp hiss of pain.

Lizetta froze, seeing his handsome face turn pale and a thin layer of sweat form on his forehead. Even though she was angry, she couldn’t help but worry. 

Thinking that his injury was ultimately because of her, she managed to push down her anger and feeling of being wronged, helped him lie back on the hospital bed, and spoke in an even tone, “You better rest up. I take the X–ray to the doctor and have them come check on you 

There was no point in continuing this discussion–it would only lead to endless bickering 

Without giving Remington another chance to speak, Lurdesand quickly left the room. 

Remington eased the sharp pain that tore through him and lifted his gaze, watching her retreating figure with a furrowed brow 

Lizetta left the ward and headed straight for the doctor’s office 

Around the comer of the comidor, Apni saw Lizetta close the door of the doctor’s office and then approached the nurse’s station
