Female Novel"Tomorrow, the police will be here to take her away." Remington stepped forward, taking Lizetta's handin his. Her hand was a bit cold, but his large, warm palms enveloped it, gently rubbing warmth back intoher skin.
Lizetta's mind was still on Evelina, asking, "The police?"
Although what Evelina had done was despicable, she hadn't committed any serious crimes.
Why had Remington called the police?
There was a sharp look in Remington's eyes as he said, "The case with Daniel had Evelina'sfingerprints."
He had previously sent Cedric to dig into it, but Evelina had dispatched people out of town. It was likelooking for a needle in a haystack.
With Evelina's deeds exposed today, Remington had Ray find April.
April, seeing Evelina had lost all her power, flipped sides and spilled everything Evelina had done.
Lizetta felt a chill, remembering Daniel; even though it had been a long time, the thought of him stillsent shivers down her spine.
Remington tightened his grip on Lizetta's hand, his voice soft and reassuring.
"Don't be afraid."
It was then Lizetta realized he was still holding her hands. She tried to pull away, when Stella's voicesuddenly came from behind. "Remington, my mom will be alright, won't she? I just reunited with her
today, and haven't even had a chance to really spend time with her." Remington turned to her,reassuring, "She'll be fine."
Lizetta tried to pull away, but Remington, as if anticipating her move, tightened his grip.
Unable to pull away, Lizetta inadvertently attracted Stella's gaze.
Stella's gaze fell on their intertwined hands, and her lips curved into a shy smile as she looked atLizetta with a gentle tone.
"Remington and I grew up together. Fiona, and Remi's parents have been very kind to me. TheDashiells were like a second family to me.
Remington told me that you also
grew up in the Dashiell family. Even though we're meeting for the first time today, I guess because weboth grew up with them, I feel a special connection to you. Content belongs

Remington and I share the same birthday, and I'm six years older than you. If you don't mind, you cancall me 'Sis', and may I call you Liz?"
Stella was somewhat cautious, emanating kindness as if her whole being was trying to reach out.
Her experience was heartbreaking and deserving of sympathy.
She had even risked her life to save Remington, endured so much hardship, and was only just found.
Today, at the hospital, Stella had been reasonable and understanding.
But Lizetta couldn't help feeling something was off.
She didn't know if it was her own issue, being too consumed by the matters of the West family, but shejust couldn't warm up to Stella. She responded with a polite smile, "Ms. West, calling me by my name isfine."
Stella was taken aback for a

At that moment, a child walked by with his mother.
The child caught a glimpse of Stella's extended hand, screamed, "Ah! Mommy, that's scary, the lady'shand looks so scary!" Stella's face turned deathly pale, looking flustered toward the child.
Before Lizetta could react, Remington let go of her hands and took Stella's injured hand in his, pullingher behind him. Remington turned to face the child, his intimidating aura causing the child to bury intohis mother's embrace, crying.
