With her gaze fixed on Remington, Lizetta suddenly wiped away the tears from her cheeks, and moved to sit a
bit away from him.
"Of course, it's weird! I'm not cooling off that easy!"
Her expression tightened again; she turned her head away, not wanting to catch Remington's gaze.
She feared that one more look at him would soften her heart completely, and would compel her to forgive
everything.
She felt deeply for him and empathized with his struggles, having learned about the full story, including his
entanglements with the West family and his history with Stella. Though she could comprehend his past actions, it
didn't mean she lacked temper.
If she forgave him too easily, he might choose to hide things again in the future.
A healthy marital relationship shouldn't work like this.
Her heart couldn't stand being tormented and worn down tand again.
So, she wanted Remington to fret a little longer, so she could teach him a lesson.

Remington reached out, and Lizetta immediately stood up, turning her back on him.
With a mix of resignation and amusement, Remington also stood, wrapping his arms around Lizetta's waist from
behind.
He leaned in, resting his chin lightly on her slender shoulder, and whispering in her ear.
"Why so hard to appease now?"
Lizetta nodded, "Exactly! That's why you shouldn't keep things from me. I'm your wife now, not slittle sister
hiding in your arms, who was clueless about everything!" Remington chuckled, glancing at her.
"Are you sure? Who was that girl crying in my arms just a moment ago?"
He lifted his hand to gently touch Lizetta's still damp lashes.
Feeling both embarrassed and annoyed, Lizetta was about to push him away when suddenly, brisk footsteps
echoed from upstairs.
It was Eileen, her face etched with urgency, hurrying down.
Remington slightly loosened his grip on Lizetta and turned to look at Eileen, asking, "What's up?"
"I just got a call from the hospital; Barbara's condition has worsened again."
As soon as Eileen finished speaking, Remington's phone also rang.
Taking out his phone, he found it was indeed a call from Martin West.
While answering, he headed towards the door, with Eileen quickly following.
Lizetta was momentarily stunned, struggling to process the sudden news.
By the tshe snapped back to reality, the two were already heading out the door, prompting her to
instinctively follow.
"Alright, I'll be there in a flash. I'm with Eileen; I'll bring her along."
Over the phone, Martin explained that Barbara was scheduled for another surgery but insisted on seeing her
daughter "Stella" and Remington first, refusing to enter the operating room otherwise. After hanging up,
Remington turned to Eileen, commanding, "Get in the car!"
Eileen opened the car door and got in, while Remington approached the driver's side, then paused, looking back

Lizetta, worried about Joy, didn't dare to hurry.
Seeing Remington, who seemed to have momentarily forgotten her, leaving without a backward glance, she felt
her heart filled with an unsettling emptiness.
However, he turn around and their eyes met, which reignited a spark in Lizetta's dim eyes.
Clasping her hands over her abdomen, she thought to herself that she didn't ask for much.
One look back was enough to reassure her that he still cared for her and their baby.
Smiling, she was about to tell him she was okay and that he should hurry when Remington suddenly strode back
towards her. Stunned, Lizetta watched him quickly close the distance, without a word, and scoop her into his
arms, saying, "Let's go together." Clasping his neck, Lizetta asked in surprise, too?"
Having gone out with just Lizetta today, without any bodyguards or a driver, Remington wasn't comfortable
leaving her alone. He nodded, "Once we get to the hospital, you can wait in the car."
He quickly placed Lizetta in the passenger seat. Knowing his urgency, she just nodded obediently and buckled
up her seatbelt.
