Remington raised his hand and gently patted Lizetta's head, his voice slow and deep.
"Alright, I promise. But you also need to keep your distance from those men with ill intentions!"
He paused, then added, "Especially Jerome."
Lizetta blinked in confusion. She had just met Hogan and Hamilton, and she wondered why he specifically emphasized Jerome.
Her puzzlement was clear, and Remington explained in a grave tone.
"In Evercrestia, Ralap was led astray. Later, someone sent an anonymous message to Ralap, and that's how he found you."
This information had come out during Ralap's interrogation.
But Ralap didn't know who had sent the message.
Lizetta furrowed her brow. "You think Jerome is connected to the person who sent the message to Ralap?"
Remington let out a light chuckle. "Jerome was the only one who knew your location. Even I found you by following Jerome's trail. What do you think? I warned you before to stay away from Jerome!" Lizetta's frown deepened, remembering Remington's warning before she left Zion City.
"Do you suspect Ms. Madden was the one who passed the message to Ralap?"
Lizetta was somewhat alarmed; she had never met Florence Madden in person.
If merely because Jerome had helped her, Florence would go to such lengths to get rid of her, it was terrifying.
"Stay away from men who are taken!" Remington said sternly.
Lizetta nodded. "I understand."
Still, Remington took Lizetta to the Dashiell hospital; she was 26 weeks pregnant.
Back in Luminesia, she was supposed to have her 4D ultrasound, but it was postponed due to a sudden heavy snowfall.
The doctor set up the appointment, and it was the first time Remington accompanied Lizetta for a prenatal checkup.
The man was clearly more nervous
and excited than Lizetta. The doctor recommended preparing some
warm cookies and chocolate, along warme
with some gentle exercises,
beneficial for the checkup.
Remington didn't send someone else; he personally went downstairs to buy these items and then walked with Lizetta in the corridor for a long time. Family members usually aren't allowed during the 4D scans, but the hospital made an exception, and no one dared to stop Remington from entering.
Lizetta lay down with Remington's assistance, and the doctor, with a friendly and reassuring smile, told her.
"Don't be nervous, just relax. First, we'll see if the baby cooperates. If the baby is shy, it's normal to try a few times..."
Lizetta nodded, her heart skipping a beat at the thought of soon seeing Daisyy's face, feeling a mix of anticipation and nervousness.
Remington bent down, holding Lizetta's hand, gently scratching the palm of her hand.
Lizetta stiffened slightly; this was the first time she exposed her belly in front of Remington since it had grown larger.
She felt a bit uncomfortable, but the doctor's words soon captured her full attention.
"The baby is so cooperative, in a great position, not hiding the face, everything's very clear, wonderful. Mr. Dashiell, Mrs. Dashiell, look how well the baby is growing..."
Lizetta looked over and immediately saw the little one with closed eyes, a tiny fist clenched tightly near its face, as if sleeping or deep in thought.
In that moment, Lizetta instinctively
tightened her grip on Remington's hand, her eyes welling up with tears, spontaneously turning her head to look at him with excitement.
But he, too, was looking back at her.
His handsome face bore an almost identical silly smile, his deep eyes turbulent with emotion, slightly red.
That unexpected eye contact made Lizetta's heart clench, stirring an indescribable warmth and excitement. At least for that moment, they were in perfect emotional sync, soul to soul.
