Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 806

Lizzy stormed into Maple Cottage, her figure brimming with frustration as she disappeared into the house. Remington exited the car, watching her until she vanished from view, a self-satisfied smirk on his lips, though his deep eyes were turbulent with concern. He didn't relish being seen as the antagonist, but he couldn't ignore the fact that Jerome was inside Maple Cottage, poised to swoop in at any moment. Remington was genuinely uneasy about Jerome's proximity to Lizzy.

As Remington mulled over his thoughts, he unexpectedly saw Lizzy, who had just entered, supporting a tall figure as they both emerged from the cottage. It was none other than Jerome, leaning heavily on Lizzy, looking as if he might collapse at any moment. Remington's handsome face darkened at the sight.

He strode over briskly. "What's going on?" he demanded.

"My stomach's acting up. I need to go to the hospital," Jerome replied.

Lizzy hadn't anticipated running into Jerome feeling unwell just as she walked in. "I'll handle it; you get in the car," she instructed.

Before Lizzy could respond, Remington had already taken Jerome from her and was guiding him toward his Bentley. The Dashiell family chauffeur was already prepared, having turned the car around. Concerned for Jerome, Lizzy accepted Remington's assistance and slipped into the back seat without protest. Remington had no intention of letting Jerome sit too close to Lizzy. He planned to enter the car first and then help Jerome in.

However, as Remington was about to get in, Lizzy leaned out, "Bro, watch your head."

Momentarily caught off guard by Lizzy’s concerned expression, Remington hesitated just long enough for Jerome to slip into the car first, holding his stomach and reassuring Lizzy, "Don’t worry too much, I can manage..."

Despite his words, Jerome stretched his legs out without concern, leaving no room for Remington to sit beside him. "There's no space back here, and if I get sick, it’ll be a problem for Mr. Dashiell. Perhaps Mr. Dashiell should take the front seat."
