Lizetta turned her head to glare at Remington, who looked down at her with a tender, affectionate gaze. He gently stroked her hair before leaning in to whisper in her ear.

"Your brother just woke up, and the doctor advised against stressing him out. Are you sure you want to tell him about our divorce now?"

He spoke swiftly, planting a soft kiss amidst her locks before turning his gaze back to Thaddeus.

Lizetta stiffened slightly, her nervous eyes fixed on Thaddeus.

He was saying that waking up to see her and Remington getting along made him very happy.

Lizetta knew Thaddeus had been worried about her, and seeing him like this, her nose tingled, eyes warming with tears.

At that moment, the feeling of having her caring, protective brother finally back felt suddenly real, no longer distant.
