Jerome greeted Ms. Yolanda with a warm smile as he took the bag from her hands, nodding in appreciation.
“Thanks for your effort, Ms. Yolanda.”
His words seemed to suggest an intimacy with Lizetta that wasn't there before. Yolanda internally rolled her eyes but responded with a smile and a nod, choosing not to add anything more.
Then, Jerome turned to Lizetta, “Make sure you get some rest.”
“Will do.”
Hogan chimed in, “Liz, I’ll swing by tomorrow when I’m free to check on you.”
Without waiting for Lizetta to respond, he looked over at Jerome and gestured with his hand.
“Mr. Madden, let me walk you out. I know my way around the hospital pretty well. I haven’t taken any days off recently, so I’ve been here every day. I’m quite familiar with the maternity ward, so you can rest assured that Liz is in good hands. As her senior colleague, I’ll make sure she’s taken care of. You’re a busy man, Mr. Madden; no need to come by all the time…”
The two men then left the room together.
Yolanda, having escorted them to the door and closed it, returned to Lizetta’s bedside and couldn’t help but chuckle at the visibly relaxed demeanor of her friend.
“Seems like juggling admirers isn’t as fun as it sounds, huh?”
Lizetta let out an exasperated laugh and reached out to Yolanda.
“And you’re laughing! I was giving you signals to help me out, and you just ignored them. Come on, I need to use the restroom!”
Seeing the urgency in her friend’s request, Yolanda moved to assist her, letting out another chuckle.

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....
