Mentioning letting Lizetta go, the man fell silent once again.
That suffocating silence was like a blunt knife cutting through flesh, making Fiona equally uncomfortable.
But the grandmother didn't try to persuade him further. She knew that this time, Remington would figure things out.
"Grandma, she hasn’t woken up yet?" Remington furrowed his brows slightly.
He had brought Lizetta back from the West family about seven or eight hours ago. How could she still be asleep...
"She must be exhausted. I've asked the kitchen to be ready at all times. Liz can eat whenever she wakes up."
Fiona sighed again, lifting her hand to rub her chest where it felt tight.
Remington hurried to support Fiona back to her bedroom, helping the elderly lady to lie down.
Fiona, holding Remington's hand, spoke with heavy guilt, "I’m sorry, my dear. I failed to raise your father properly and didn’t keep your mother-in-law in check. Knowing her foolishness, I still indulged her, leading you and Liz to suffer so much, causing today's disaster..."
She was the elder, responsible for disciplining her daughter-in-law.
She was well aware of Hanna’s partiality and mistreatment towards Lizetta.
In the past, she always thought of Nathan’s wrongdoing first, turning a blind eye to Hanna’s actions, never truly punishing her.
That indulgence led Hanna to commit such absurd actions.
"Grandma, what’s done is done; there’s no use in dwelling on it. You should rest now. Liz wouldn’t want to see me like this. When she wakes up tomorrow, she’ll need you to take care of her and comfort her even more."
Remington clasped the elderly lady's hand, covering her with the blanket.
Fiona, however, wore a look of shame and worry, "But, this thing with Hanna, how are we going to explain it to Liz tomorrow?"
The baby, harmed before even having a chance to see the world, for such reasons... the child’s umbilical cord blood taken by the culprit...
Such news, not to mention Lizetta, even Fiona found it unbearable and suffocating today.
Thinking of Lizetta’s frail body facing another blow, Fiona found herself at a loss for words.

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....
