Barbara was on the verge of collapse, who would dare to mess with her?
She held Evelina close, and even Ray didn’t have the guts to forcefully take her away.
With half of her face buried in Barbara’s embrace, Evelina glanced at Lizetta, a hint of defiance in her smile.
“Oh, mom, please don’t say that. You need to take care of yourself. Our West family only has so few people left. We can’t afford to lose even one more!”
The two hugged and cried together, making it seem like whoever appeared weaker was in the right.
Just then, the hospital room door opened.
Martin's stern voice echoed, “Remington, what are you doing? Let go!”
“Mom!”
Beside Martin, a long-haired woman rushed in, exclaiming, and ran to the bedside.
She sat down, gently patting Barbara’s back, then looked up at Remington pitifully, asking, “Remington, what happened? My mom’s not in good shape. Can we talk about this outside?”
Lizetta was taken aback as she looked at the woman with long hair.
This woman must be the real Stella.
She was the woman Remington had abandoned their wedding for, rushing thousands of miles, unable to wait even a day to bring back.
Despite Lizetta’s claims of indifference, at that moment, she couldn’t help but stare breathlessly at the woman.
She was very slender, beautiful, yet pale, with refined features not much different from her photos.
At least Lizetta recognized her instantly, although the Stella in those childhood photos was sunny and lively.
But the woman before her looked sorrowful, timid, and fragile as glass.
The way she looked up at Remington, pleading, panicked, and dependent, was truly pitiable.
Lizetta’s gaze shifted to Remington.

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....
