Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1284

A warm smile touched the man's handsome features. Catching Lizetta's gaze, he immediately stepped forward to meet her.

Lizetta's eyes welled with tears as she sprinted toward him. Seeing her slender form rushing in, Remington instinctively opened his arms.

"Boss, your shoulder..."

Standing right behind him, Cedric noticed the movement and anxiously eyed Remington's right shoulder, offering a worried warning.

Remington completely ignored him, his lips pressing into a tight, displeased line.

Taking the hint, Cedric clamped his mouth shut and wisely took a step back.

Lizetta reached him without slowing down, launching herself directly into his embrace.

The impact made Remington stumble back a step. He frowned slightly, but his arms wrapped tightly around her.

Answering her overwhelming emotions, his deep voice murmured with incredible softness.

"Our family is never going to be separated again, okay?"

Breathing in his comforting, familiar scent, Lizetta finally lifted her head, her red, tear-filled eyes locked onto his.

She nodded emphatically, needing to hear it one more time.

"Is Joy really safe? Is he actually okay?"

She gripped his arms. Though he had called her the moment she boarded the plane to tell her he had successfully rescued their son...

...and though she had wept tears of joy right then and there, a lingering dread still haunted her. It still felt unreal.

Understanding her lingering panic perfectly, Remington pressed a kiss to her reddened eyelids and smiled.

"Of course he is. Joy is perfectly fine. He's waiting for us at the hospital."

Hearing the verbal confirmation finally brought a smile to her lips. She grabbed his hand and began pulling him toward the exit.
