Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 647

The psychologist said that what Lizetta needed was to feel hope and a sense of belonging again, to awaken her spirit.

So, was Jerome the one who could give her that hope and sense of belonging now?

The thought dimmed the light in Remington's handsome features, previously brightened by Lizetta's moments of consciousness, bit by bit. He seemed to turn into a statue of silence.

"Remi? Aren't you going to check on her?" Cassius, noticing Remington's stillness, asked in surprise.

Remington's throat moved with difficulty, and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "What did the Maddens tell her?"

He wanted to know what had awakened her.

Cassius frowned slightly, confused, "They didn't say anything special, you know. Mrs. Bernice Madden didn't even recognize people, got the names all wrong. She just cried, holding Lizetta's hand, asking her if she really had the heart to leave her family behind, saying she should wake up and come home with her."

"And Jerome?"

Cassius then realized what Remington was getting at. It seemed that with Lizetta's awakening, Remington's jealousy had awakened as well.

"Jerome didn't say anything special either. He mentioned that his aunt loved to dance too, but because she was the sole heir to the Maddens, she never pursued a career in dance. However, she collected many beautiful dance costumes and shoes, and he asked Lizetta if she wanted to see them. Then, Lizetta woke up..."

As Cassius spoke, Remington's expression turned increasingly cold, and Cassius noticed fragments falling from between Remington's fingers to the ground. It seemed Remington wanted to crush not the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, but Jerome's bones.

"Fiona, you agreed to this? Remi doesn’t know yet... Mmh!"

Before he could finish, Yolanda, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumped up and clamped her hand over his mouth. "Liz has just woken up; you better not mention that man in front of her again!"

She pushed Cassius aside, and though he wanted to resist, Fiona said, "Let it be, Cass."

Lizetta had awakened to Mrs. Bernice Madden's plea to take her home, which meant she no longer wanted to stay at the Dashiell family mansion. In such a state, she probably wouldn't recover well.

Fiona had wanted to keep Lizetta around, but thinking of everything Hanna had done, she felt too ashamed to say anything.
