Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Lizetta and Remington escorted Stella to her hospital room.

Lizetta suggested that Daisy come in to apologize, saying, "She bumped into Ms. West. Shall I call the police for Ms. West?"

Daisy's face twisted in anger at this, and she pointed a finger at Lizetta, "You little bi... Ah!"

Before she could finish her insult, Remington swiftly bent her pointing hand backward, causing Daisy to scream in pain and collapse to her knees.

Remington released her, looking down coldly, "I don't take kindly to anyone pointing fingers at my wife or child."

Daisy, cradling her hand and biting back tears, didn't dare make another sound.

Lizetta watched the scene, her gaze flickering.

Remington wiped his fingers with a tissue, and Stella, leaning against her hospital bed, suddenly spoke, "See, Liz? Didn't I tell you how much Remington cares about you? You should really think about what I said."

Her expression was envious, but her hand hidden under the blanket was clenched tightly, betraying her inner jealousy and rage.

"What did you tell Lizetta?" Remington immediately asked.

Stella blinked, a smile playing on her lips, "Why the worry, Remington? I was just telling Lizetta that I've come to realize my feelings for you aren't really love, so I'm planning to go abroad. I also told Lizetta how much you love her, suggesting she give you another chance."
