Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 468

Back when Stella was running a high fever, she forgot a lot. It was like she was walking in a fog, completely out of touch with her family.

Her memory came back in bits and pieces. Last year, Stella tried to escape, but it ended in failure. She was caught and beaten half to death. The physical toll over the years was immense. Medical reports even suggested that she might never be able to have children again.”

Listening to all this, Lizetta felt her heart sink.

She had no idea Stella had gone through so much.

No wonder Stella was crying her eyes out in the café, and Remington was totally on her side, insisting Lizetta apologized.

Because even though Stella was brought back, Remington's guilt seemed to have deepened.

"Liz, I didn't hand Evelina over to the West family. I've got her under surveillance. It's not exactly jail, but it's pretty close. I promise, she won't bother you again. Once she's had the baby, she'll face the consequences of her actions."

Remington held Lizetta's hand, his gaze filled with a hint of anxiety.

Lizetta took a deep breath, "You've already made up your mind, and it's not like I have a say in it, so let it be."

Her demeanor was calm, not showing any signs of anger.

But how could she not be hurt when he failed to keep his promise once again?

Remington stood up, wrapping his arm around Lizetta's waist.

"I know you're upset. How about we go to a jewelry auction in a few days, just to take your mind off things?"

Men often try to make up for their guilt with material things.

Designer bags, clothes, jewelry, or even houses and yachts.

But sometimes, that's not what women really want or need. And these gestures aren't always from the heart; sometimes they're just for their own peace of mind.

Lizetta, lacking enthusiasm, said, "The dance troupe's performance is next week, and I've got to take care of Yoli. I don't have the time, so let's skip it."
