Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Chapter 859

Lizzy hurried past, her footsteps catching his attention, making the man slowly lift his head.

A slight smile played at the corners of his thin lips. He knew deep down she couldn't bear to be too harsh on him. As he watched her approach swiftly, a clap of thunder boomed overhead.

Boom!

As if the earth itself was trembling, Remington could clearly see the shock on Lizzy's face, her body swaying slightly. His expression tightened, "Liz!"

In a moment of panic, he crawled forward a couple of steps, wrapping his arms firmly around her slender waist.

"Ah!"

Simultaneously, the umbrella Lizzy was holding slipped from her grasp, and she covered her ears with a startled cry.

The thunder continued, each boom more ferocious than the last.

Lizzy felt as if she was reliving that thunderous night, lying in the back of a car, being rushed to the hospital by her grandfather, with thunder rolling outside the window. She was bleeding profusely, beyond saving.

At that moment, she had wished for nothing more than Remington to be by her side, but he never showed up until she was taken into the surgery room.

She woke up to Remington's cold, harsh news that Daisy was gone.
