Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 770

In the lobby, a middle-aged man curiously glanced at Cedric, who stumbled out of the elevator. His gaze then shifted to the imposing man inside the elevator, cloaked in an aura of cold hostility. Intimidated by the sight, he hesitated to step inside.

As the elevator doors closed again, Cedric rubbed his backside, offering an awkward smile towards the bystander. He was about to say something when a commanding voice echoed from behind him.

“Cedric? What are you doing here?”

Turning around, Cedric found himself face to face with Nathan Dashiell and Mr. Dashiell.

Shirley Dashiell had been brought to the family chapel by Ray and others, forced to kneel in penance. Although she hadn't managed the full twelve hours, her knees had swollen badly. The next day, she was carried out, and soon after, she developed a high fever and was now admitted to the Dashiell family hospital.

Nathan had come to visit Shirley, having just offered an apology on behalf of Remington to Mr. Dashiell and the family.

“Good to see you, Chairman Dashiell. I... I have a relative being treated here, just came to visit them. I was about to leave.”

Cedric carefully avoided mentioning Lizetta or Remington.

He was aware of the strained relationship between Nathan and Lizetta, and with Hanna Evert Dashiell still not brought back home, Nathan's displeasure was evident.

Cedric feared that mentioning Lizetta, especially in Mr. Dashiell's presence, could spark further conflict. After all, Mr. Dashiell, Shirley's father, had his own grievances against Lizetta.

Nathan gave a slight nod, and Cedric quickly added, “If there's nothing else you need, Chairman Dashiell, I'll be on my way.”

With a dismissive gesture from Nathan, Cedric left, and Nathan was escorted into the elevator by Mr. Dashiell.
