Remington's eyes darkened further, aggravated for no reason by the old lady next door who kept gossiping and watching.

With a swift motion, the man yanked the curtain between the two hospital beds shut.

The old lady muttered, “Such a foul temper. What's the use of being good-looking? No wonder his wife wants a divorce. He's nowhere near as good as that young man was.” Remington becmore detached, but he wasn’t about to pick a fight with a sick old lady.

When Cedric cback, Remington ordered, “Arrange a private room.” Before Cedric could move, Lizetta, propped up slightly on the bed, rejected the idea.

“I don’t need it. I'm staying just one night and will be discharged tomorrow.” It wasn’t a big deal for her, the fever had gone down with the 1V, and she'd likely be fine by tomorrow.

Lucian, being careless, had just gone to get her test results, and Lizetta had requested the doctors to consider her pregnancy when prescribing medication.

But Remington, always astute, wasn’t easy to fool.

Lizetta worried he'd move her to a different room and call in a new doctor, and if her secret was be done for.

“You won't rest well here,” Remington disagreed, glancing again at Cedric.

“Mr. President?” “Step out for a bit.” That was conceding to Lizetta’s wishes, not to change the room.

Cedric thought only the missus could defy the boss like that and get away with it.

The boss clearly cared, yet why couldn't the two of them ever patch things up? Cedric left, and Remington bent down to check Lizetta's forehead, She dodged but his large hand insistently found its way there.

“Burning up like this, what can you handle? Stop being so damn stubborn!” Feeling his palm against her, Lizetta, vulnerable as she was, couldn't help but crave that bit of tenderness, her heart fluttering weakly Then she heard Remington’s biting sarcasm, “Getting ill and not calling me, what, do you want to end up so feverish you becan idiot, forto be responsible for you all my life?” 1/2 Chapter 152 She had a fever, didn’t contact him, but went to Lucian instead.

And that last twith March, for such a big deal, she reached out to Lupian too, keeping him in the dark completely.

A restlessness surged in Remington's eyes, his emotions tumultuous Just as Lizetta felt a stir of emotion, she was met with his mocking tone She yanked his hand away. “Even if | burn up into an idiot, | won't hang myself just to not be a burden on you.” Remington snorted, “Never seen an idiot hang themselves, you'd be better off relying on me.” Lizetta choked, feeling like if the fever didn’t do her in his attitude would Lucky for her, a nurse cin to administer her IV, and Lizetta cooperated. The nurse advised “We haven't added any antipyretics. Family members should keep an eye on physical cooling methods. monitor the temperature constantly, and call us if it doesn’t drop in an hour.” Remington narrowed his eyes at the nurse. “Why not use antipyretic injections? Obviously, it was because Lizetta was pregnant, and they were trying to avoid the use of ancoretic injections if possible.

Lizetta’s heart skipped a beat, nervously eyeing the nurse, panic-stricken The nurse, puzzled by Remington’s question, thinking how could such a handsman lack common sense? Didn't he know pregnant women should not casually use antipyretic injections?
