Remington's breath turned heavy, his deep gaze fixed intently on the woman's pale face. His fists clenched and then relaxed as he finally spoke, his voice soft and soothing.
"Liz, you're in a bad state right now. What you need most is some rest! We can talk about everything else later, okay?"
He reached out to pull Lizetta into his embrace, but she dodged away, irritation written all over her face.
"At this point, Mr. Dashiell, do you really think our marriage stands a chance?"
Without a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Yes, it does!"
It was then he realized she loved him, and he hadn't yet had the chance to tell her that he loved her too.
How could they end things like this! He wouldn't allow it!
He said with a grave tone; his handsome face slightly shadowed. His gentleness shattered like a mask, revealing a cold, dark gaze filled with obsession and madness.
He stepped forward, intent on pulling Lizetta into his arms.
"Enough!" She pushed him away fiercely, her slender body stumbling.
Seeing her on the verge of falling, Remington froze, hesitating to approach her again.
At that moment, Hogan, changing from scrubs to his white gown, quickly came over and supported Lizetta.
Remington darkly glared at Hogan's right hand. But Lizetta, who looked agitated, grasped Hogan's arm in return.
This scene deeply wounded Remington's eyes.
"Mr. Dashiell, she's been through a lot today. A pregnant woman shouldn't be continuously stressed like this. If you truly care for her, stop pushing her!"
Remington's temples throbbed twice, "This is between us married couple. You're overstepping!"
"As a doctor, I must intervene! And as Liz's friend, Mr. Dashiell, you missing the wedding and embarrassing her like that, you've let her down and hurt her."
Remington cut him off coldly, "Oh, as a friend, or perhaps with other intentions? Hogan, don't act all high and mighty about our issues. You're nothing here! My patience has limits; don't think I won't take action!"
Lizetta, observing Remington's stern demeanor, suddenly curved up her lips, "If Hogan don’t have a say, surely I do."
Despite trying to appear strong, Lizetta was physically weak, having relied on Hogan's support. Finally steadying herself, she turned to Hogan.

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....
