NovelEnglishRemington's expression grew tense, the light in his eyes dimming as he turned and strode out the door.
Lizetta lay trembling slightly, her hands beneath the blankets clutching at the sheets, suppressing the tumult of
emotions within her chest.
He had lied to her!
There was no way he had gone to the office.
He had left in the middle of the night; how could he possibly have been dealing with paperwork?
And just now, she had detected a faint scent of disinfectant on him.
He must have uncovered something, yet he chose to conceal it.
After showering and changing, Remington returned to the bedroom, finding Lizetta's demeanor had turned cold
again.
Cara brought up sfood, and Remington sat by the bed, watching Lizetta eat.
She seemed to have gradually accepted her reality, no longer resisting the idea of eating. Silently, she held the
soup bowl, eating spoonful by spoonful quietly. When she finished, Remington took a napkin from Cara and
gently wiped the corners of Lizetta's mouth.
Then, footsteps sounded, and Ray's figure appeared at the door.
Remington stood up, "You get smore rest, I'll head to the study..."
But Lizetta suddenly grasped Remington's arm, "Let Ray cin and talk, I've slept too much, don't feel like
sleeping anymore."
Remington's gaze fell on her small hand clutching his, his heart skipping a beat.

"Liz, do you... wantto keep you company for a while longer?"
His voice lifted slightly, a soft curve appearing at the edge of his lips, clearly delighted.
Lizetta, as if realizing what she had done, quickly withdrew her hand and turned her face away without speaking.
Seeing this, Remington's eyes softened, but he gently said, "Our talking might disturb your rest..."
He was unwilling to have Ray speak in front of her, clearly hiding something.
Remington had something on his mind, and no matter how much Lizetta pressed, she wouldn't get it out of him.

Just like how he had once hidden the truth about Evelina's child's lineage.
Lizetta remained silent, closing her eyes.
Remington leaned in to place a gentle kiss on her forehead before standing up to leave.

Lizetta got out of bed, her feet bare, and silently made her way toward the study.

Thus, without hesitation, Lizetta boldly headed for the study, pressing her ear against the door.
Muffled voices seeped through.
"Mr. Remington Dashiell, should we pull back the people watching the West family?"
"Any movements from Martin and Stella today?"

What Ray said next was too low for Lizetta to catch clearly.
The last thing she heard was a murmur.
"Should we... tell the missus? She might hate you even more..." Remington's response was a prolonged silence.
