Lizetta curled her lips into a smile and lowered her head to enjoy her noodles.


    After finishing her bowl of noodles, Ynda pulled out a napkin to wipe her mouth, looking satisfied. "Will there be more tomorrow?"


    Lizetta nced at her with a yful spark in her eyes. "Are you hooked? Should I just not break up with him then?"


    Ynda waved her hands dismissively, "Break up if you must, but keep the mealsing. Those are two separate things.”


    Lizetta chuckled, "Then maybe not. I''m afraid he might get twisted and actually poison the food."


    Ynda shivered at the thought, considering it a real possibility. Remington was not the selfless type. He was more of a profit-first businessman, whipping up fancy noodles early in the morning-all to lure little Lizetta back, wasn''t he? The more repressed, the more likely to turn into a creep!


    Lizetta was somewhat worried that Hans might show up at the hospital. After resting for a while, she headed out to the hospital.


    Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, Lizetta had just gotten out of her car when she saw Ste stepping out of another vehicle. Ste was carrying a thermos, and upon seeing Lizetta, she paused before walking over.


    "My father fell ill from grief over my mother''s passing. Just after the funeral, he ended up here, hospitalized." Ste looked worn and genuinely troubled.


    Lizetta regarded her. "Ms. West and I don''t really need to exchange pleasantries."


    She walked past Ste towards the hospital building, but Ste caught up to her side. "Lizetta, I didn''t mean anything by what I said. I just wanted you to know, my mom is gone, my dad is ill, our family has pai for what we''ve done. Remington told me he has only ever loved you. I''vee to ept that..."


    Lizetta was irked by her persistence. She stopped, turned to face Ste with a frown. "What are you trying to say?"


    Her tone was sharp. Ste looked startled, her eyes reddening. "I never meant to interfere in your marriage with Remington, to be the other woman."


    Lizetta let out a scoff, filled with scorn.


    Ste pleaded, "Whether you believe me or not, it''s true. I admit, at first, I wanted Remington to marry me, but that was when I thought you two were divorcing. Now, I realize he


    could never love me, and mu za ne


    feelings for him were just


    dependency because he saved me, not real love..." Content bélongs to


    Lizetta frowned deeply. "You''re saying you don''t love Remington?"This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    Ste nodded. "Yes, I''ve realized that. I won''t interfere with you and Remington anymore. So, if it was because of me you two were divorcing, I want to apologize again. Liz, could you give Remington another chance? He truly loves you."


    Ste''s expression was earnest, pleading with Lizetta.


    Lizetta felt a sense of dissonance. Ste''s sudden change of heart seemed too drastic. If it weren''t for the Westfamily''s relentless pursuit and attempts to ruin her, she might have believed her. But now, she couldn''t take Ste''s words at face

    Lizetta was about to respond when a figure suddenly dashed out from the hospital building. "Stop, don''t run!"


    With the shout, the figure charged


    towards Lizetta and Ste, who were


    standing on the hospital steps.


    Lizetta quickly sidestepped to avoid


    the collision. But Ste, standing next to her, suddenly stepped

    of Lizetta, reaching out to stop the oing person.


    "Stay back!" she shouted.


    Crash.


    In the next moment, the two collided heavily. Not only did the person fall, but Ste also tumbled to the ground. The thermos in Ste''s hands was knocked open, spilling hot soup and water everywhere, eliciting a scream from Ste.
