Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 607

Remington adjusted his tie and stepped into the room with determination.

"Liz, I'm not trying to control you, just looking out for you."

"We're nothing to each other now; I don't need Mr. Dashiell's care."

Lizetta replied coldly, believing that staying away from him was the quickest way to heal.

Remington frowned, wanting to say more, but the hospital room door creaked open, and Yolanda's voice followed.

"Liz, guess who's here to see you? Mr. Madden dropped by."

With Yolanda's cheerful voice, she walked in, followed by a tall figure, Jerome.

Apparently visiting, he wasn't in his usual sharp attire but wore a simple white tee under a navy-striped blazer, relaxed yet still showcasing his upright posture.

He carried a thermal container, following Yolanda, his gaze immediately landing on Lizetta.

Then, his eyes were drawn to the red booklet in Lizetta's hands.

A divorce certificate.

"Seems like my timing could've been better? Mr. Dashiell, you don't mind, do you?"

Clearly, the divorce was fresh, and Jerome hesitated slightly.

Remington turned to Jerome, his gaze icy.

Jerome's intentions were clear, and Remington wished he could kick him out right there and then.

But he couldn't, not with the debt of gratitude for saving Lizetta last night or Jerome's status now.

He and Lizetta were divorced. Other men could now openly pursue her, be around her.

Offering kindness, and maybe one day...

Lizetta might be moved, might develop feelings for another man, belong to someone else.

Realizing this, the man who had been calm at the moment of receiving the divorce certificate suddenly felt a storm brewing inside him.

His handsome face grew darker, coldly saying, "Do you think I'd mind you leaving?"
