NovelEnglishShe was leaving the city, setting off for somewhere far, far away.
Without her, Zion City would feel like a graveyard, burying everything but him in its silent depths.
Yet, as he embraced her fragile form, witnessing her lying there, refusing to wake, he realized he had lost the courage to hold her close once more.
In the end, Remington could only gently pat Lizetta's shoulder before letting go completely.
Lizetta didn't look up at Remington as she stepped back, quickly heading towards the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she pushed open the hospital room door, she bumped into Ray, who was coming in with spaperwork. Remington hadn't lied to her; he had indeed sent Ray to take care of the discharge procedures.
"Mrs....?" Ray was stunned to see Lizetta walking out of his young master's hospital room.
The lady actually cto see Mr. Remington Dashiell voluntarily? However, before Ray could rejoice, he caught sight of Remington standing in the room like a statue, realizing things weren't as he had imagined. He quickly stepped aside.
Lizetta passed by Ray without lifting her head, and at that moment, Hogan approached her quickly.
"Liz, are you alright? A junior of mine, studying psychology, got married and broughtswedding candies. I thought I'd share the joy with you. Why are you out here by yourself? It's chilly outside; you should put on a sweater." Hogan was evidently coming from Lizetta's hospital room, seemingly unaware that Lizetta had cfrom the neighboring room. He quickly stepped forward, lightly placing his arm around Lizetta's shoulders, guiding her back towards her room.
Lizetta, with her head down, didn't resist Hogan's support.
Her legs felt weak, her steps uncertain. She was clearly not in her best form.
"What kind of wedding candies?" Lizetta engaged in conversation as the two walked away.
Hogan's voice carried easily into the neighboring hospital room, and Ray dared not look at Remington's expression.
He quickly stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. Yet, he couldn't help but worry for his master, pressing his ear against the door to catch any sound from outside, murmuring with a mix of frustration and helplessness.
"In just a moment, how did you manage to make the lady cry again? Look at Dr. White, going out of his way to offer sweets, running around so eagerly. If you don't step up your game, next tyou might actually be giving her wedding candies..." As Ray muttered, he heard the door of the neighboring room close and could no longer hear anything. He, turned around only to meet Remington's icy gaze, seemingly calm but with a storm of emotions swirling beneath.
Ray instantly fell silent, feeling a chill down his spine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She cried?" Remington asked, frowning.
He had not noticed before, and under the man's intense gaze, Ray nodded.
Indeed, he had seen Lizetta's eyes red and her lashes wet with tears.
Ray thought, realizing Lizetta had cried and had been taken away by Hogan, that Dr. White might be gently and attentively drying her tears this very moment. How could Remington stand it? He half expected Remington to burst out any second, kick down the neighboring room's door, and tear Hogan apart.
Yet, Remington just clenched his fists tightly, then released them, before turning around with a voice devoid of emotion.
"Pack up, we're leaving." Ray panicked, "But what about Mrs....?"
Remington began unbuttoning his hospital gown, his voice firm as he interrupted, "We're divorced now.
Change the way you address her, from now on, she's Ms. Gardenia." Ray was speechless.
If it weren't for the fact that Remington struggled with a button, trying three times without success, Ray might have believed he had truly let go.
