Jerome's room was right next to Liz's.
After chatting for a bit, they both headed to their own rooms.
Liz was about to enter her room when she heard Jerome's voice from behind.
"Aren't you going to ask about him?"
Since Liz went abroad, she had only called Jerome once and hadn't contacted anyone else after that.
Jerome had just updated Liz about Yolanda, telling her that after she left, Remington hadn't done anything to Yolanda. Yolanda had just successfully wrapped up her latest fantasy series.
He also mentioned that Fiona and Joy were both in good health, and her older brother's treatment was going as planned.
But Liz hadn't asked about Remington, not even once.
Now, Jerome didn't mention that name, but Liz stiffened for a moment, knowing exactly who he meant.
She slowly turned around, meeting Jerome's gaze with a smile.
"He's irrelevant now. I don't want to know. Goodnight."
She waved at Jerome, who looked at her with a slightly deeper gaze, pondering the gentle serenity of her smile.
True letting go and moving on should be as natural as breathing, leaving no trace.
Not like this, deliberately avoiding, which often reveals more than it hides.
But he didn't call her out on it, nor did he say more. He just slightly raised his eyebrows, nodded at Liz with a warm smile, and replied.
"Goodnight, sweet dreams."
"You too."
Liz smiled, turned, and entered her room.
She closed the door behind her, leaning slowly against it.
She didn't want to care about what happened to Remington after she left, whether he was still looking for her or had completely let go.
That name had slowly turned into the deepest wound in her heart.
Unmentioned, untouched, it wouldn't hurt.

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....
