Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 606

\"What's that supposed to mean?\"

\"You know, you don't have to go to city hall to get a divorce. If you want a divorce, get up and eat something decent!\"

Remington's voice was deep, his face expressionless.

He towered by the hospital bed, looking down at her, filled with self-mockery.

He never thought, one day, he would have to use divorce as a means to get her to eat.

Lizetta locked eyes with Remington, standing her ground.

For the first time today, she really looked at him, without disdain.

Remington's breath hitched, his back tensing involuntarily.

Yet, he couldn't discern any emotion from her gaze.

The affection, joy, and even the resentment he had just provoked seemed all gone.

He felt an emptiness inside, his lips moved slightly, \"I didn't mean to pressure you, but you're torturing yourself, your body can't take this...\"

Since the accident, she hadn't eaten anything, surviving solely on IV nutrition.

This couldn't go on.

Lizetta's lips curled into a mocking smile, \"Your devotion is laughable.\"

He had clearly changed clothes, wearing a charcoal gray shirt with a plaid tie, his stubble neatly shaved, giving him a sharp jawline.

He smelled of minty fresh body wash, and aside from the bloodshot in his eyes, he looked just as cold and noble as Mr. Dashiell always did.

Losing Daisy, for him, seemed to be just a fleeting moment.

That's why he thought she could eat now.

Thinking it was for her own good, but it was just to ease his own guilt.

What a cold-hearted man!

\"Think whatever you want. If you want a divorce, get up and eat.\" Remington's voice was calm but brooked no argument.

Lizetta eventually propped herself up, and Remington leaned over to help her, then called someone in a deep voice.

Soon, a servant came in, laying out a nutritious meal in front of Lizetta.
