Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 79

Lizetta could tell it was jewelry without even looking. Remington knew how to play the game–slap you one minute and hand you a candy the next. He was slick.

Was he training a dog?

Lizetta cracked a smile, but the very next second, she grabbed the brocade box and chucked it at the jerk.

“Ouch!”

Who would’ve guessed she nailed him right on his arm wound, causing Remington’s brows to pinch together.

Lizetta got a bit flustered, practically jumping out of her skin.

But she quickly settled down and fired back, “Don’t even try to play it up! It was just a brocade box. Anyone else might’ve thought I threw a brick at you!”

She served herself a bowl of porridge. The scumbag was infuriating, but a girl’s gotta eat.

The little one inside her belly needed nourishment, after all.

In her head, she was secretly gloating. “Baby, I just gave him what he deserved for you.”

But her joy was short–lived because she noticed blood seeping through Remington’s arm, staining his light grey sweater red.

“Why the heck is it still bleeding? Don’t move, I’ll go grab the first–aid kit.”

Lizetta put down her utensils and scurried off.

She carefully untied Remington’s bandage–thankfully, the wound hadn’t reopened, just a bit of oozing.

As Lizetta reapplied the medicine and bandaged him up again, she couldn’t help but express her concern, “What did the hospital say about your blood test last time?”
