Lizetta paused, then shook her head.
"I don't want to hear your explanations right now. Daisy's in the incubator, right? I need to see Daisy."
With that, she struggled to sit up, attempting to throw off the covers and get out of bed.
Her body was weak, and just the effort made her forehead break out in sweat, her body swaying.
Remington felt as if his heart was being twisted in agony. He pressed down on her firmly, cradling her face and leaning in to touch his forehead to hers.
"Liz, you know what I mean. I'm sorry, it's my fault for not keeping our Daisy safe. Daisy, he just..."
Slap!
He couldn't finish his sentence before Lizetta's hand struck his face.
The slap was sharp but feeble.
She had no strength, not even leaving a mark on his face, but Remington felt as though his soul had been shaken.
"Remington, I'm so fed up with you. Can't you understand when I say get lost? I need to see Daisy. Daisy must be looking for her mom. She'll only be calm with me by her side. She must be so scared, so cold... I need to find Daisy. Let me go! Let go!"
Lizetta suddenly began to struggle, her eyebrows knitted, thinking he was utterly ridiculous.
What was he even saying?
She couldn't understand a word and didn't want to.
Pushing him away, she shook her head, kicking her legs wildly.
Her voice grew more trembling and hoarse, the eyes beneath her messy hair turning increasingly bloodshot and fierce, as if about to drip boiling blood.
"Liz, I'm so sorry... please, don't scare me like this..."
Remington bent over to embrace the increasingly distraught woman tighter, afraid she'd break free, yet also afraid to hurt her.
His arms trembled from the effort, but he felt the person in his arms shaking even more.
She was so frail and weak, as if she would shatter in his arms with every gentle quiver.

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....
