Hans's face twisted with terror as his gaze darted frantically toward the hospital room door.
"Help... somebody, help..."
He screamed for help, but his voice was so faint it was almost inaudible.
That fear of death, the helplessness, the absolute despair—it was probably the same feeling Lizetta had when she begged him for mercy last night.
Remington's icy stare fixed on him, his hand gripping Hans's nape before landing a muffled punch on Hans's abdomen.
Hans's liver was severely damaged, and he had just undergone surgery. Now, the incision was bleeding profusely.
He winced in agony, his face contorting, eyes bloodshot, his expression filled with fear and begging.
"Are you going to talk or not?"
Remington didn't let go. Instead, his fingers tightened around the wound, rubbing and grinding, as blood trickled down his fingers.
As Hans's life ebbed away, his face was streaked with tears and snot.
Even in death, no one wants to die in such torment.
His lips moved weakly, "I... I don't know who he is... I swear I don't, please..."
He was begging for a quick end.
He looked weakly towards the door. This was a hospital, after all; the police were just outside.
Even as a criminal, he shouldn't be treated this way.
But outside, it was eerily silent, with no one coming in.
Thinking of the pain Lizetta had suffered, the image of their child curled up in bruises and stiff from the cold, Remington only wished Hans's death could be slower.
"Was it the West family?"
He punched Hans's wound again with force.
When Remington left the room, his demeanor was calm and collected.
He held a disinfectant wipe between his fingers, meticulously cleaning the blood off his hands with a cold command.
"Get in there and save him."

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....
