Remington's brow furrowed slightly, his lips pressed together in a thin line.
"Remington? Are you listening?"
Stella received no response, her anxiety growing alongside the sound of something crashing to the ground.
Remington asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Did you fall? Has the doctor arrived yet?"
"The doctor should be on his way, I guess."
"There's a doctor coming... they'll take care of it..."
As Remington flipped through the documents and signed his name, Stella interrupted him, her voice breaking into sobs.
"Remington, my dad's been really sick lately. He just fell asleep after his IV, which has some sleeping meds in it. He's out cold now. I wouldn't bother you if it wasn't serious..."
Remington tapped his pen on the desk, his voice cold.
"Stella, after what Evelina did, ruining my wedding, she should've been beyond redemption. It was only after you and Luna begged me that I agreed to spare that child.
I've done more than enough for the West family, even at the expense of Liz's feelings. How did your mother repay me?"
He had spared the West family's child, yet Luna went out of her way to seek retribution, endangering his wife and child.
Remington's voice was cold and filled with loathing.
Stella seemed frightened by his icy tone, letting out a loud crash.
"Ah!"
"Miss, are you alright? You still have a fever..."
A servant's cry of alarm followed, and then the phone was picked up again, Stella's pleading voice coming through clearly.
"But my mom paid with her life, Remington. Evelina is the only blood left of my brother in this world!
You were the last person my brother saw before he died, searching for me. If it weren't for your call, he wouldn't have died!
We both caused his death, and now that his child is coming into this world, you must share this burden of redemption with me!"
Stella's voice was stubborn and impassioned through the phone.
Suddenly, Remington clenched his phone tighter, haunted by the unwilling eyes of Quentin at his death.

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....
