Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1288

Seeing him still sitting up, she paused.

"Why are you..."

Finally receiving her attention, a flicker of grievance crossed his handsome face.

"My shoulder hurts too much to take my shirt off. Should I ring for a nurse to help?"

He reached toward the call button.

Lizetta immediately caught the obvious hint of jealousy in his tone.

He felt neglected and wanted her to pamper him.

She found it slightly amusing. His claim of being unable to undress felt a bit dramatic.

After all, he had been moving around perfectly fine at the airport and in the car.

Yet, even knowing he was playing the sympathy card to milk her for affection, her heart still ached for him.

He had taken a bullet. Just because he had a high pain tolerance didn't mean she should ignore his injuries.

Not to mention, he had taken that bullet to protect their son.

Carefully holding Joy, she stood up, walked over to Remington's bed, and gently laid the baby down beside him.

"Don't call a nurse. I'll take care of you myself."

That was exactly what he had been waiting for. Pressing his lips together to hide a triumphant smirk, he replied,

"If you're too tired, the nurses are actually quite attentive..."

Lizetta glared at him. "Remington Dashiell, what is wrong with you? I'm starting to think you've got your eye on some pretty young nurse."

Standing right in front of him, her nimble fingers quickly untied his tie.

A smile touched his lips. He leaned in, taking a theatrical sniff of her scent.

"Why do I smell something sour? Are you jealous?"
