Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 353

Lizetta’s voice through the phone was laced with a chill that was palpable even across the digital divide.

Remington paused, slightly taken aback. “You’ve got it all wrong. I just wanted to clarify things”

Lizetta wasn’t surprised that Hanna had gone running to Remington, probably exaggerating the story for effect.

She didn’t bother explaining hersell.

Her voice was cool, detached. “No need to ask me. Whatever your mom says goes.”

Remington’s brows knitted together. Lizetta, don’t be like this.”

A stifled laugh escaped Lizetta. “You’re mistaken. A woman throws a fit because she wants to be coddled. Is throwing a fit with you ever productive? Besides, only those who fear losing each other fuss and fight.”

If she was ready to walk away, there’d be no tantrums.

Just a heart gone cold.

Lizetta was about to end the call when another woman’s voice came through.

“Remington, did you skip breakfast to come to the hospital? I asked the housekeeper to pack something up for you from the hospital cafeteria. It’s not much, but it should tide you over”

Lizetta recognized the voice, even over the phone.
