Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 510

He turned around, and Lizetta's gaze fell on the man's right shoulder as she lay on the bed.

She hadn't noticed Remington was injured initially. It was only after hearing Ray's words that she spotted the cut on the right side of his back.

He was wearing a black sweater, so the wound wasn't visible, but there was a patch stained with blood.

Lizetta clenched her hands, "Is it serious? You should get it treated."

She couldn't remain indifferent.

And for Remington, it was finally hearing the words he longed to hear from her.

He was pleasantly surprised.

A slight smile curved his lips, unable to suppress his delight, as he quickly approached Lizetta, taking her hands in his.

"You do care about me, don't deny it! You can't deny it."

He said, prying open her tightly clasped hands, revealing crescent marks on her palm.

They were marks she had unconsciously made upon hearing he was injured.

Lizetta, flustered and frustrated, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, tried to withdraw her hand from Remington's grasp, annoyed.

"Even if I do care, it's only because you saved me. Don't flatter yourself!"

Remington tightened his grip on her hand, not annoyed by her denial, his eyes still twinkling with amusement.

"Sure, sure, it's all my wishful thinking. I just want you to care, to notice me. Liz, your coldness is killing me, hurts way more than the wound on my back. Don't believe me? Feel it."

Saying so, he audaciously pulled Lizetta's hand to his chest.

Holding her wrist, he guided her hand to rub over his heart for a moment.

His gaze was deep and teasing as he looked at her, a blatant enticement.
