The wound in the palm of his hand, which was left untreated, began to bleed again, the congealed


    blood dripping down along his fingers.


    "Remington, what happened to your hand? My God, you''re bleeding a lot."


    Ste hurried over, reaching for Remington''s bleeding hand.


    But before she could touch him, Remington abruptly raised his hand and pushed her away.


    Ste nearly stumbled backward, her face turning pale.


    "Remington." Her eyes reddened.

    But Remington didn''t look at her, his gaze fixed on Hanna, a cold sneer pulling at his lips. "I was


    hesitating whether to bring her back or not. But now I think it''s better she''s gone, so our baby won''t be


    treated as a blood bag even before it''s born."


    Remington stepped forward, walking past Hanna, his voice cold. "I''ve decided to respect Liz''s wishes


    and not search for her anymore. As for your own son, you figure out how to save him. It''s not Liz''s


    responsibility!"


    With that, he strode upstairs,manding Lina, "Please ask them to leave and don''t just open the door


    to anyone next time."


    He climbed the stairs, and only then did Hanna react, her voice filled with shock and anger. "What do


    you mean by figuring it out myself? That''s your brother! Remington!"


    But Remington didn''t turn back, and when Hanna tried to follow, Lina stopped her.


    "Ma''am, you know the young master''s temper. Please, you and Ms. West should leave now."


    Hanna red at Lina while Ste stepped forward to soothe, "Aunt Hanna, let''s just go for now. Liz has


    left, and Remington is in a bad mood. He didn''t mean to upset you." Hanna held her head feeling dizzy,


    "Ste, do you think Remington has really given up on finding Lizetta?"


    Ste supported Hanna as they walked outside,forting her gently. "No, Remington cares too much


    about Joseph. Even if Lizetta has left, Remington will surely find another match for Joseph. Don''t worry,


    Aunt Hanna, I will also mobilize all of the West family''s resources to help find a suitable match."


    Ste''s eyes were filled with fervor, pondering Remington''s words. Could it be he''s genuinely


    disheartened and troubled, deciding to let Lizetta go and not search for her anymore? "You''re so kind,


    unlike Lizetta. Joseph trusted her so much, and the Dashiell family took her in; but the one time she


    could be of use, she heartlessly ran away."


    Ste pursed her lips and smiled, then nced back at Oakridge Heights.


    Tonight, Remington had sent her away, but it was because Lizetta had just left, and the man was


    drowning in regret and resentment.


    But men can''t stand loneliness, she believed. As long as Lizetta stayed away, she would eventually


    take her ce, bing the newdy of this house.


    Upstairs.


    Remington stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, silently watching Ste and Hanna leave the


    courtyard.


    As their car drove away, he picked


    up his phone and instructed,


    eli


    "Twenty days ago, Liz and Ste had coffee together at the café across from the hospital. Check the


    surveince footage from that day


    and ask if any of the staff overheard their conversation."


    At that time, Remington hadn''t thought much of seeing them together for coffee.


    But now, considering Lizetta always


    seemed to keep her distance from


    Ste, it was odd for them to share a


    coffee. It dawned on him that it was after that day that Lizetta''s attitude had changed somewhat,


    When she spoke to him, there were no longer barbs in every sentence, as if softening little by little.
