Lizetta's voice grew increasingly shrill as she tore at Remington's clothes, frantically slapping him.

Her cries alerted the doctor outside, and the door was pushed open.

Remington held the woman tight, urging the doctor, "She's lost it!"

Remington was worried Lizetta would end up hurting herself if this continued.

The doctor quickly stepped forward, administering a sedative to Lizetta.

The man gently laid her on the bed, carefully arranging her disheveled hair, his voice distant as if muffled by clouds.

But Lizetta couldn't feel the trust anymore, her eyes hollow as she stared at the ceiling.

He'd promised her so much; could she still believe in him?
