the heard some ruckus outside, but had no idea what was going down.
He wanted to go out, but Evelina clung to him tightly, complaining of stomach discomfort and feeling scared.
Evelina had been having a rough pregnancy, with one close call at the hospital already. Without the doctor there yet, Remington stayed with her reluctantly but felt impatient.
Just then, Joseph came running in, his face full of panic and alarm.
“Bro, bad news! Liz and her mom are fighting in the courtyard. That crazy lady’s really fierce, taking advantage of being Liz’s mom to hit her hard. Liz ended up crying and running off. Hey, where are you going? Wait up, take me with youl
Before Joseph could finish, Remington’s towering figure had already caught the wind and stormed out.
“Remi!” Evelina anxiously sat up and called out, but Remington was too fast, she couldn’t catch him or stop him.
Fuming inside, Evelina glared at Joseph, lips pursed.
Joseph turned back, and Evelina, unable to hide her expression in time, was caught by Joseph,

Hanna, ever protective of her sickly youngest, shot Evelina a furious look.
Evelina felt like she was going to cough up blood, waving her hands in protest.
“Auntie, I swear I didn’t push him! I was sitting on the bed the whole time. I know the young master likes Liz and dislikes me. I’m sorry, I’ll leave right now.”
Hanna, concerned about the baby in Evelina’s belly and realizing Joseph was probably up to his tricks, glared
at him.
“Go to your room and rest! Evelina, you rest as well. The doctor will be here soon.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Evelina’s obedient act made Hanna even more pleased.
Lizetta stormed out of the Riverbend Abbey, her pace quickening.
Her vision blurred, she stumbled over something and took a hard fall..
Lizetta instinctively covered her belly. Without support from her elbows, her knees collided harshly with the ground, causing her to curl up in pain.
She had just drenched Jolin with the water gun, and she too got drenched in the process.
The wind blew, chilling her to the bone.
But what felt colder was her heart, as if a gaping hole had been torn, letting in the icy wind to blow through.
She wondered if she was really that worthless, undeserving of love.
When Kevin and Elara, who had loved her so dearly, found out she wasn’t his real daughter, they abandoned her immediately.
Her birth parents didn’t show her any affection either.
Her eldest brother was good to her, but now he was in a vegetative state. Fiona cared for her, but she was ultimately Remington’s grandmother, the lady of the Dashiell family, and there was always a barrier
between them.

With Remington, Lizetta felt like she had faith and owned the whole world.
But over these four years, her world had been gradually crumbling.
Now, even Remington had left her. He didn’t want her anymore, just like everyone else.
Just as her world was about to collapse and bury Lizetta completely, a voice suddenly rang out above her.
“Get up!”
