"I know, but what if your grandparents never ept me? Will Liz stick with me?" Remington asked, his eyes fixed on Lizetta.


    He knew that if he wanted to be with her, he''d have to pass the test of her family''s approval. He was willing to face any challenge, but he was up against Jerome, Mr. Nelson and Mrs. Dashiell''s golden boy. From what he gathered, they were more than impressed with Jerome.


    Remington wasn''t entirely confident.<fnc17e> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? Find~Novel</fnc17e>


    Lizetta leaned back slightly, a cheeky smile spreading across her face. "Don''t worry. If my grandparents don''t ept you, I''ll definitely tell you to take a hike."


    Remington was momentarily speechless. He knew it. A pang of disappointment hit him, yet he couldn''t muster any anger towards her. He remembered a time when she had put him first, unconditionally. Somewhere along the way, he''d lost that version of her.


    Determined, he vowed to win her back. If it took one year, two years, or even five, he wouldn''t give up. Even if it took a lifetime, he''d wait.


    Meanwhile, Ynda entered the bedroom to find Cassius lying on the bed, staring nkly at the ceiling, his expression one of utter defeat. Recalling the doctor''s diagnosis, she approached him gently.


    "Are you okay? I didn''t think a bump could be this serious. The doctor wants specifics, but don''t get too down. Just tell me how bad it really is," she asked softly.


    Cassius didn''t move. Instead, he turned away from her, his back a testament to his despair. "Just leave me alone. I want to be by myself."


    Undeterred, Ynda pulled him up to sit. "You have to face this, Cassius. Look me in the eyes and tell me, are you really... you know, done for?"


    Cassius met her gaze. "I don''t know. The doctor gave me some meds and told me to rest. In two weeks, have to go back for a check-up. If it doesit get better by then, my tr?i Fuined! You have to take


    responsibility!"  s


    His voice was a mix of anger and desperation, but Ynda just licked her lips thoughtfully.


    "And how exactly should I take responsibility?" she mused.


    Cassius''s face was a storm of frustration. "Ynda, do you have a heart? I''m in this mess because of you! If you had any decency, you''d figure it out yourself instead of asking me!"


    Ynda bit her lip, contemting for a moment before she looked at him with a determined expression.


    Cassius, seeing her hesitation, felt


    his irritation rise. Wasn''t she supposed to be crying, promising to stay by his side forever? Ynda''s dy was maddening, was life, with him really such a difficult choice?  s


    Just as he decided to forgive her momentarypse, Ynda spoke up. "I''m a normal woman, and I''ve got quite the... needs. If you''re really out ofmission, we shouldn''tplicate things I''m sorry about your injury, but cant take responsibility. Maybe in the next life, I''ll repay you."  s


    With that, she stepped back as if avoiding the gue, and gave him a deep, apologetic bow.
