Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 558

Lizetta curled her lips into a smile and lowered her head to enjoy her noodles.

After finishing her bowl of noodles, Yolanda pulled out a napkin to wipe her mouth, looking satisfied. “Will there be more tomorrow?”

Lizetta glanced at her with a playful spark in her eyes. “Are you hooked? Should I just not break up with him then?”

Yolanda waved her hands dismissively, “Break up if you must, but keep the meals coming. Those are two separate things.”

Lizetta chuckled, “Then maybe not. I'm afraid he might get twisted and actually poison the food.”

Yolanda shivered at the thought, considering it a real possibility. Remington was not the selfless type. He was more of a profit-first businessman, whipping up fancy noodles early in the morning—all to lure little Lizetta back, wasn’t he? The more repressed, the more likely to turn into a creep!

Lizetta was somewhat worried that Hans might show up at the hospital. After resting for a while, she headed out to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, Lizetta had just gotten out of her car when she saw Stella stepping out of another vehicle. Stella was carrying a thermos, and upon seeing Lizetta, she paused before walking over.

“My father fell ill from grief over my mother's passing. Just after the funeral, he ended up here, hospitalized.” Stella looked worn and genuinely troubled.

Lizetta regarded her. “Ms. West and I don’t really need to exchange pleasantries.”

She walked past Stella towards the hospital building, but Stella caught up to her side. “Lizetta, I didn’t mean anything by what I said. I just wanted you to know, my mom is gone, my dad is ill, our family has paid for what we’ve done. Remington told me he has only ever loved you. I’ve come to accept that…”

Lizetta was irked by her persistence. She stopped, turned to face Stella with a frown. “What are you trying to say?”

Lizetta was about to respond when a figure suddenly dashed out from the hospital building.

“Stop, don’t run!”

With the shout, the figure charged towards Lizetta and Stella, who were standing on the hospital steps. Lizetta quickly sidestepped to avoid the collision. But Stella, standing next to her, suddenly stepped forward, positioning herself in front of Lizetta, reaching out to stop the oncoming person.

“Stay back!” she shouted.

Crash.

In the next moment, the two collided heavily. Not only did the person fall, but Stella also tumbled to the ground. The thermos in Stella's hands was knocked open, spilling hot soup and water everywhere, eliciting a scream from Stella.
