Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1270

When Eartha finally regained consciousness, six hours had passed. She found herself lying in an ICU bed, hooked up to an array of monitors and tubes.

The lingering anesthesia dulled her senses, leaving her body numb and her mind sluggish.

Her vision slowly swam into focus, revealing a doctor in scrubs standing next to Lizetta at her bedside.

Seeing her eyes open, the doctor asked a few basic questions, instructing Eartha to nod or shake her head.

Once satisfied, the doctor offered a reassuring smile.

"The surgery was a success. Just rest and cooperate with the treatment."

A surge of triumphant relief washed over Eartha. The doctor then turned to Lizetta.

"Ms. Madden, we'll keep her under observation for a day. If there are no severe signs of rejection and her vitals remain stable, we'll transfer her to a regular ward."

Lizetta nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

The doctor smiled and left the room. The moment the door shut, Lizetta stepped forward, leaning directly over Eartha. Her voice was ice.

"I upheld my end of the bargain. I got you a new kidney and a second chance at life. A life for a life. If you won't hand Joy over right now, then you're going to video call your people and show me that my son is safe."

Eartha was still breathing through an oxygen mask. Without a second thought, Lizetta reached down and ripped it off her face.

Eartha gasped, her eyes flying wide in shock. She strained to force the words out.

"Im... impossible..."

Lizetta nodded slowly, a dark smirk pulling at her lips.
