Chapter 3
Lizetta watched their side–by–side figures, feeling a chill in her heart. No wonder she mentioned divorce and he didn’t even turn his head. Turned out his old flame was back.
Remington strode over, his gaze sweeping across Lizetta’s overly pale face, frowning, “Feeling under the weather?“–
Evelina also came over, grabbing Lizetta’s hand with concern.
“Your hand is freezing, Lizetta. Don’t tell me you got the wrong idea. Today’s my birthday, see, and after being away for four years, my folks insisted on throwing a birthday bash. Who knew right after the cake I’d get a tummy ache, so Remi had to accompany me to the hospital.”
Lizetta swiftly withdrew her hand, moving so fast that Evelina’s hand was left hanging in the air, causing Remington to disapprove with a darkened gaze.
Lizetta noticed and felt a wave of bitterness swell in her heart.

“This doesn’t suit you,” with a casual flick, she tossed the headband straight into the trash can.
Evelina’s smile froze on her face.
“Joseph’s sick, in the pediatric ward; we have his brain CT scan.”
Lizetta handed the report to Remington and then bolted, her steps quickening. She stepped out of the outpatient hall and couldn’t help but look back.
Remington was accompanying Evelina upstairs, and from start to finish, he hadn’t looked back at her even
