Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 522

"Liz..." Remington couldn't help but speak up, feeling the need to offer a sincere apology.

But just then, Lizetta's phone rang, cutting him off.

Without acknowledging Remington's call, she swiftly pulled out her phone, her lips curving into a smile as she answered.

"Yeah, I'm in Zion City now, just left the airport. I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Remington thought it was Yolanda on the line, but Lizetta's next words caught him off guard.

"Dora's in the hospital. I got in touch with her as soon as I landed. Thankfully, her injuries aren't serious, or I'd never forgive myself..."

Remington's expression turned icy, his hand tightening by his side.

It had to be Jerome Madden on the line!

"Really? So, I'll get to see Dora again? Can't wait. I'll play host, make sure she's treated right."

"Alright, I got it. If I need help, I'll definitely reach out to you..."

As Lizetta chatted away, smiling, her phone was suddenly snatched from her hand.

Frowning, she turned to see Remington disconnecting her call.

Lizetta had considered herself quite the emotionally stable pregnant woman these past months, but Remington had a knack for getting under her skin in seconds.

"What gives you the right to hang up my call? Give it back!"

She reached for the phone, but Remington shifted it to his other hand.

"To let you keep flirting over the phone with him?"

"What did you say?! Jerk!"

Lizetta felt insulted. A normal phone call, in his eyes, was flirting? Then what was his deal with Stella?

Did wrapping it up in sibling affection make it okay to blur lines?

Furious, Lizetta swung at Remington.

He caught her hand, "Isn't it the truth? Back in Luminesia, you were living under the same roof. Are you planning to be with him after the divorce? Do you like him?"

His questions were sharp, his gaze piercing.
