Lizetta picked up the phone to find Jerome on the other end, just as she'd guessed, still at the restaurant.
After she filled him in, Jerome didn't hesitate. "I'll head to the hospital right now."
"No need," Lizetta hurried to say, "we're almost there. You keep on with what you're doing, and I'll call you if anything changes."
Jerome, understanding her preoccupation, simply reminded her to keep in touch before hanging up.
Despite Lizetta's insistence, Jerome wasn't about to stay away.
He knew well enough that the Gardenia family hadn't always been kind to Lizetta, except for her brother Thaddeus, who truly cared for her.
Previously, when Lizetta had been taken back to the Madden household, Jerome had attempted to negotiate with Remington to move Thaddeus to Tranquil Meadows. However, Thaddeus's medical team, hired by Remington, had shown promising signs of improvement, and the Maddens didn't dare risk changing doctors, fearing it might disrupt his recovery.
In the end, Thaddeus remained at the Dashiell Hospital, with the Madden family covering a hefty monthly medical bill.
For the past four months, it had mostly been Remington looking after Thaddeus.
If Thaddeus woke up, Lizetta would be incredibly grateful to Remington.
With these thoughts, Jerome quickened his pace to the hospital and called Nelson to update him on the situation.
At the hospital...
Lizetta raced to Thaddeus's room, only to see Zora, rubbing her eyes, coming out.

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....
