Chapter 290
Remington was frowning with displeasure. He couldn’t believe that after all the sweet–talking he did, the girl was still upset, yet a few words from Cedric seemed to do the trick.
He felt like his assistant was getting worse nt reading the room, throwing him under the bus at a time like
this
But then, in the next second.
Lizetta’s eyes suddenly flew open, and she looked up at him, even grabbing his hand in return.
Remington was taken aback. “Liz?”
Tears started rolling down her cheeks, and her vision became clearer.
She realized the man standing before her was indeed Remington. He was still in his hospital gown, looking pale and worn out, with ashen lips.
But there he was, alive and kicking, the very same Remington who would hold her and kiss her.
–
In a flash, Lizetta felt a surge of life within her, as a torrent of emotions – fear, worry, joy ripped through her heart.
She practically fell apart, reaching out and hugging Remington tightly, bursting into tears.
“Remington! I hate you to death! Was this some kind of sick joke? Because it wasn’t funny at all!”
Remington hugged her back, a hint of a smile softening his usually cool features as he spoke soothingly.
“Yeah, my bad, stop crying now. You had me scared too.”
Her tears were flowing like a river by now.
Assured that the man before her was real and okay, Lizetta realized there were quite a few onlookers.
Cedric and the bodyguards, along with nurses and passersby, they were all watching this scene.
Thinking about the foolishness she had just displayed and Remington tenderly comforting her, Lizetta was suddenly overcome with embarrassment. She let go of Remington, looked down, wiped her face, and tried to make a quick exit.
Remington grabbed her wrist, “Feeling a bit sheepish now?”
Lizetta tried to tug her hand free without thinking, and Remington winced, sucking in a breath of pain.
Lizetta was startled and turned back to see him, his hand clutching his abdomen, his expression one of
acute agony.
Lizetta was shocked and blurted out without a second thought,
“You’re hurt, and you still ran out of your room? Where’s your ward? Let’s get back there first.”
From the video, Lizetta had seen quite clearly that Remington had indeed been stabbed by Iris, bleeding a lot.
Now, with his baggy hospital gown, Lizetta couldn’t tell the extent of his injuries.
But seeing him up and walking, she guessed it couldn’t be too serious, right?

Remington nodded, leaning heavily on Lizetta.
“The ward’s just around the corner.
Lizetta immediately helped Remington towards his room.
Passing by Cedric, Remington turned to give him a look that sent a shiver down Cedric’s spine.
Lizetta helped Remington lie down on the hospital bed, feeling utterly disheveled with tear stains all over her face.
She wanted to go to the bathroom to clean herself up, but as she turned to leave, Remington grabbed her wrist again and pulled her back.
Lizetta stumbled onto him, worried she might have hurt his wound.
But then he embraced her, his voice tinged with laughter by her ear.
“So, Liz would actually be this heartbroken, shedding so many tears if I died, huh? I feel like even if I really kicked the bucket, I’d die with no regrets.”
Lizetta didn’t want to hear such ominous talk, so she grabbed the hospital gown around his waist.
“I still have so much to tell you, things I haven’t said to you in person. Like, I’m pregnant, we’re going to have a baby, you’re going to be a dad. Don’t you dare talk like that! If you really dare to pull a stunt, I’ll find Joy a new stepdad in a heartbeat!”
