Stepping out of his study, Remington made his way to the bedroom just as Yolanda was coming out from the room.
He had been hoping against hope that Yolanda would manage to wake Lizetta from her deep slumber. He looked at her, questioning with his gaze.
Yolanda's eyes were swollen from crying, and upon seeing Remington, her look could freeze hell over, lacking even the energy to curse him.
She shot Remington a glare that could cut glass and walked past him without another word.
Cassius, following behind, shook his head at Remington, advising, "Remi, she did everything she could, cried her voice hoarse, and Liz didn't budge. I think it's on you now, buddy. Give it another shot."
Yolanda, a few steps away, stopped and turned back at Cassius's words, her gaze fixed on Remington.
"Give me a break, don't put him on a pedestal. Liz is like this because of him! Anyone could wake Liz up, but he's the last person who could! If Liz heard his voice, she’d probably want to reincarnate on the spot! Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Realizing her words were inauspicious, Yolanda looked regretful.
She was truly muddled by Remington's actions, hitting her mouth lightly in frustration before turning to hurry downstairs.
She decided to wait for Mrs. Bernice Madden, the last beacon of hope.
Cassius, pointing at Yolanda's retreating figure, said, "She's out of her wits, Remi. Don't take it to heart."
Without a word, Remington entered the room, closing the door behind him.
Approaching the bed, the dim light cast a soft glow on Lizetta's face, lying motionless, seemingly frailer than before.
Where other women gained weight after childbirth, she had become visibly thinner in just a few days.
Remington reached out to hold her hand but hesitated, recalling the therapist's advice. He stood there, speaking in a choked voice.
"Liz, I don't know if you can hear me, but if you can, please wake up. Because I truly realize my mistake now.
If you wake up, I won't hold you back. You once said exes should be like the dead to each other, and I failed to be a good husband. At least give me a chance to be a decent ex?"

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....
