"I had no clue about today's events until I heard the news and rushed to the hospital immediately. Sadly, I was still too late."
Lizetta's gaze flickered slightly, her expression still cool. She began to speak, her voice trembling slightly.
"It doesn't matter whether you're involved or not; Joy was hurt for no reason. You blame me for insisting on dancing, accusing me of neglecting Joy's safety, but I've always taken good care of Joy! It's you, as a father, who has failed, not worthy of being Joy's dad."
Her heart ached twice. Once was when she heard about him and Stella, collapsing on the street, agonized at the thought of losing Joy. The other time was today, which likely meant a few days in bed to recover.
Remington held Lizetta, accepting her accusations without a word. He kissed her brows, nose, and cheeks, softly saying, "Honey, I'm sorry. I indeed failed to take care of you and Joy.
There's no way my mom would do something like this without reason. There must be more to it, and I will find out, giving you and Joy an explanation.
I'm Joy's dad, and just like you, I won't let anyone harm our child, nor will I let off anyone who tries to hurt you and Joy. Trust me, okay?"
His hand gently caressed Lizetta's cheek, his voice deep. Lizetta noticed a faint smell of blood, and upon looking down, she saw his palm was wounded, covered in a scab.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she eventually nodded.
"Then you investigate. Once it's over, take me back to Yoli's place."
"Alright, once everything is settled, and you've recovered, you're free to go wherever you want. For now, please, no stubbornness, okay? Your health is what matters most, agreed?"
Lizetta nodded, her heart also harboring suspicions. The last time Evelina was forcibly placed on the operating table by her grandma for an amniocentesis.
Just yesterday, she had a confrontation with Evelina in the diner, and today, she found herself on the operating table, subjected to the same procedure.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
