Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 809

Timothy shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. As far as I know, Dr. Daisynes really isn't seeing patients anymore. After his stroke last year, his recovery hasn't been great. Even the renowned Dr. Daisye couldn't convince him to come out of retirement, and they've been friends for years."

Remington replied in a determined tone, "Where there's a will, there's a way. We've got to at least try."

Timothy nodded, "Alright, I'll check with my grandfather. Then you can bring Liz over, and I'll set up a meeting for you."

Remington gave Timothy a pat on the shoulder before turning to open the hospital room door.

Jerome, lying in the hospital bed, looked over with a distant smile. "Thanks for your help tonight, Mr. Dashiell. I'm alright now, and I know you're busy, so I won't take up any more of your time."

Remington approached and nodded at Jerome before turning to Lizetta. "I asked around, and Mr. Madden's IV won't be finished until after midnight. It's best if he stays overnight for observation. I've arranged a room for him; the emergency ward is too noisy, and he won't be able to rest properly."

They were currently in a temporary room in the emergency department. If Jerome didn't stay overnight, would Lizetta have to stay and take care of him? And when the IV finished in the early hours, would they both go home, with Jerome pretending to be weak, making Lizetta—kind-hearted and easily swayed—stay up all night caring for him?

Remington wanted to eliminate that possibility.

"No need to stay overnight..." Jerome began to protest, but Timothy, who had followed Remington in, interrupted.

"Mr. Madden, you should listen to the doctor. Come on, everything's set. Don't be shy; I'll help you to your room. It's not far, we'll be there in no time."

Timothy greeted Lizetta and then started pushing the IV stand, helping Jerome up from the bed. As Lizetta moved to follow, Remington gently took her hand.

"We still need to handle the admission paperwork. Come with me to take care of it."
