Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 609

Cassius rushed forward, steadying Remington as they stood in the dimly lit stairwell. The man's handsome features were cold but unmistakably pale.

"Let go, I'm fine," Remington said, shaking off the dizziness and trying to wave Cassius away.

Cassius held on, insisting, "No way, Remi, you need to get checked out. Come on!"

He had heard from Cedric that Remington had been in a car accident during a thunderstorm, but he hadn't sought any medical attention or even rested since. This was a disaster waiting to happen.

"Let go!" Remington frowned, his voice sharp.

Cassius ignored him. Remington's aura was agitated, and he made a move. The next second, Cassius was slammed against the wall, his cheek stinging, frustration boiling inside him.

"Damn me for meddling!" he cursed, turning around.

But then, his expression changed. "Remi!"

Remington, tall and imposing, suddenly collapsed.

An hour later, Remington was lying in a hospital bed, hooked up to an IV. The doctor diagnosed him with a concussion and stomach bleeding. He had regained consciousness quickly, now with a grim expression, reaching to remove the IV needle.

With Nelson's nod of agreement, Mrs. Madden brightened up, gesturing a sleeping pose to Lizetta. "Elsa, rest well."

Lizetta mimicked the gesture, ending the call. She glanced at Cassius, then said to Yolanda, "Yoli, I'm alright. You guys have things to do, don't stay on my account."

She thought Cassius was there for Yolanda, but Yolanda shook her head. "I'm free. My next audition's up in the air. I'll stay with you. We can't let any sleazy guys take advantage."

Cassius tsked, moving closer to the bed. "That's not entirely fair. The kid's Remi's too; his pain is no less than yours. It's not like he has foresight; he couldn't have known Hans would act that night. When he heard what happened, Remi rushed back. Sis, you might not know, but Remi was injured in a car accident that night. He just collapsed from it and is now getting treated too. His heartache is no less than yours..."

Cassius hoped Lizetta could understand Remington a bit more. If not offer him care, at least not be so cold.
