Hannah frowned deeply as she hurried forward to help Evelina back to her feet


    “Mrs. Hannah, I’m fine, really I just didn’t have a good grip.”


    “I saw everything, and look at these flowers, all trampled. Does that look like just a slip?”


    Hannah shielded Evelina ring at Lizetta.


    “What was that snidement for? Apologize to Eve, now!”


    Lizetta smirked, “Just got diagnosed with incapable of apologizing syndrome, so, no apologying


    from me.”


    Hannah, already boiling with rage at the sight of Lizetta, swung her hand in a slop, furious


    “Well, I guess it’s about time someone cured you of that bizarre illness!”


    Lizetta anticipating the move, grabbed Hannah’s wrist.


    Hannah tried to pull away but couldn’t, her anger intensifying, “Lizetta, you dare toy a hand ОП me?”


    “Liz, she’s your mother–inw and your elder. If you’re angry, take it out on me, but let go of her.”


    Evelina, in a panic, tried to pry Lizetta’s grip loose, identally scratching Lizetta’s wrist in the process.


    Lizetta winced and let go, causing Evelina to stagger a few steps and nearly fall.


    “Eve!”


    Hannah, shocked, rushed to catch Evelina just in time.


    At that moment, the door of a nearby hospital room opened.


    A tall figure stood in the doorway, clearly Remington, who had heard themotion outside.


    “Remington, look at what Lizetta has done. She’s out of control, even threatening me. Look at my


    wrist!”

    Hannah extended her arm, showing off the red mark where Lizetta had gripped her. Despite being


    pampered, her skin was as delicate as any young person’s.


    Remington’s gaze fell upon it, his brow furrowing,


    Seeing his reaction, Hannah, even more aggrieved, pushed Evelina gently towards Remington.


    “And then there’s Eve, who was nearly pushed over by Lizetta. If it weren’t for my quick reaction, she


    would have definitely fallen. It’s like Lizetta wouldn’t rest until she harms the baby. Eve’s already here in


    the hospital for a check–up, and what Lizetta did was deliberate She’s about to move abroad after the


    divorce, why did you even bring her back?”


    Evelina took a couple of steps towards Remington but then hesitated, stepping back.


    “Mr. Dashiell, please, don’t misunderstand. I just heard you were hospitalized and brought flowers to


    visit. I didn’t mean to upset Liz or encounter your mother. It was wrong of me toe, I’ll leave right


    now


    Her voice trembled with a plea for understanding


    “Eve, you’re carrying Remington’s child. Why shouldn’t your

    to leave. Hannah, dissatisfied, spoke up.


    huh? The one who should leave isn’t your


    Lizetta, catching the hint, had no desire to stay. Between Hannah’s eloquence and Evelina’s pitiful


    demeanor, and with Remington witnessing her pushing Evelina, along with the sight of his mother’s


    wrist and the ruined flowers, everything seemed to use Lizetta of being disrespectful and intolerant.


    Remington, already having little patience for her, now had more reason to be upset


    Feeling utterly defeated and with a sarcastic/smile, Lizetta tumed to leave, but just as she did,


    Remington, who had been silent, stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.


    “Ah!”


    He had grabbed the very wrist Evelina had scratched, causing Lizetta to flinch


    Remington’s expression changed at once, and he gently examined her hand.


    Lizetta’s skin was exceptionally delicate, and Remington always took care not to be too rough with her.


    The scratches on her wrist were stark and shocking against her skin.
