Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 662

"Zip it! Don't you know the condition my grandma's in? How could you just leave her alone in a strange place? It's a miracle nothing happened! What if she really got burned? Could you live with the consequences?" Andrea kept scolding.

"This old lady seems a bit off."

"So she really is out of it, huh? In that condition, she shouldn't be left to wander."

The bystanders, listening to Andrea's words, shook their heads in disapproval at Mrs. Bernice Madden. Mrs. Bernice Madden kept her head down, not saying a word. Lizetta quickly walked over, took Mrs. Bernice Madden’s arms in her hands, and bent down to ask softly.

"Grandma, are you hurt anywhere? Did you get burned?"

Mrs. Bernice Madden looked up at Lizetta, her eyes brightening with recognition. She nodded like a child who had found a parent after being bullied.

"Elsa, I didn't wander off, I was looking for a doctor. It hurts here, blow on it…"

Mrs. Bernice Madden lifted her hand, revealing a red patch with two blisters on the back of it to Lizetta.

"I don't need your help! Get away, this wouldn’t have happened if she hadn't come to see you." Andrea immediately pulled Lizetta away and held Mrs. Bernice Madden’s hand.

"Grandma, why didn't you tell me you got burned? Come on, let’s get that looked at." Andrea led the old lady away, and Lizetta was about to follow when she heard someone nearby say.

However, the man in the corner snapped out of his stupor, dropping the lighter and cigarette to the ground, and stepped forward, abruptly grabbing Lizetta's wrist.

"Liz…" His voice was hoarse.

Hearing him call her name felt both strange and familiar, as if waking from a dream that spanned seasons. She froze, then struggled, "Let go!"

"Ah!" The man inhaled sharply. The sound was soft, but the emergency exit was so quiet that Lizetta looked down.

She saw that his arm, gripping her wrist, was partially soaked through his hospital gown. And the hand on her wrist was visibly burned, the skin purplish-red, an obvious sign of a burn. Instinctively, she frowned.
