Female NovelStella finally relaxed, sinking back into her hospital bed.
She turned her face towards Remington, a pale smile of comfort gracing her lips before she slowlyclosed her eyes.novelbin
Remington caught the doctor's eye with a quick glance. The doctor immediately stepped forward toadminister Stella's treatment, her eyelids quickly becoming unbearably heavy. Before slipping intounconsciousness, she heard a man's voice, "You'll be back with your family soon, while my bride is stillwaiting for me. Sorry, I can't stay with you anymore." Stella wanted to grasp tightly, but she soon fellinto darkness.
Remington let go of Stella's hand as the ambulance came to a halt, and he jumped out.
The Maybach, racing alongside the ambulance, also screeched to a stop. Unnoticed, fine snowflakeshad begun to fall from the sky.
Cedric opened the rear car door, holding an umbrella as he stepped forward to greet, "Boss, your suitis in the car."
Before he could finish, Remington pushed away the umbrella and strode to the driver's seat, yankingthe door open.
"Out!"
Christ in the driver's seat paused, and then realizing Remington intended to drive himself, hurriedly gotout.
Bending quickly to enter, Remington didn't wait for Christ to steady himself before the Maybach, like abolt of black lightning, tore through the curtain of snow and sped away. Lizetta stood in the receptionarea of the banquet hall, spotting Evelina dressed in a sleek black satin gown. Lizetta frowned slightly,
utterly irritated. Yet, Evelina approached with a smile. "Sis, congratulations are truly in order. Butwhere's the groom? One might think you're marrying Lucian instead. You two do seem quite a match."
Yolanda stepped forward, annoyed, "Evelina, it's a miracle you've lived this long without gettingsmacked."
Lucian scoffed, raising an eyebrow, "Perhaps she'll end up dead in the streets by tomorrow."
The two's banter left Evelina with a noticeably sour face.
Lizetta looked coldly at Evelina, "I didn't invite you. It'd be best if you left now, before I call security toescort you out."
Evelina smirked again, "You might not have invited me, but the Dashiell family invited my in-laws. I'mrepresenting the West family here."
"Oh, and when did you marry into the West family? News to everyone. Your skin is as thick as a wall."
Yolanda, disgusted, was about to take matters into her own hands.
Evelina quickly stepped back, "I'm a guest; you're all being incredibly rude. And I even brought a gift."
She thrust a box into Lizetta's hands, whispering as she leaned in close, "Did you really thinkRemington was just away on business, Sis? I'm saving you the trouble and tell you, he went to pick upStella himself."
Lizetta stiffened. Her face turned ashen in an instant.
She staggered back, dropping the box Evelina had pushed into her hands. The box opened on impact,two jade folding fans inside shattering on the ground.
"No! Sis, I came to congratulate you with good intentions, and you've gone and broken my gift. That'sjust too much," Evelina's voice suddenly rose, her eyes reddening, drawing everyone's attention. "Liz,Liz are you okay? What did she just say?"
Yolanda saw Lizetta standing there, dazed, her complexion almost translucent, and immediately forgotabout Evelina, her concern evident.
She took Lizetta's trembling hands, which were colder than ice.
For a moment, Lizetta saw nothing but blurs. All she could hear was Evelina's spiteful voice.
He wasn't on a business trip; he went to fetch Stella himself!
That was why. It all made sense now.
"Lizetta," she cried to herself, "how could you be so naive? How did you not see this coming?"
