Chapter 815
"Ah! Ron!"
Stella screamed at the top of her lungs.
Lizetta also cried out in shock, "Oh, my baby!"
Feeling her child slip from her grasp was like her heart had stopped beating for a moment.
She closed her eyes, bracing for the sound of tears, but it never came.
Upon opening her eyes, Lizetta saw Remington bending over, kneeling on one knee, catching the baby in his arms just in time.
Completely oblivious to the danger, the baby seemed to find the whole ordeal amusing, bursting into laughter in Remington's embrace.
The innocent laughter grounded Lizetta, her heart dropping back into place, yet it also ignited a furious rage within her.
And there was Stella, lacking any self-awareness, pointing fingers at Lizetta.
"Liz, I know you're not fond of Ron, but that doesn't mean you can just throw him to the ground. If it weren't for Remington's quick reflexes, Ron could've been... Ah!" Before Stella could finish, Lizetta suddenly grabbed her by the hair and shoved her against the wall.
Stella's face was pressed against the wall as she screamed and struggled.
"Let go! Lizetta, what are you doing?"
"This is a hospital! Remington! Save me! Ah!"
Seeing Stella still putting up a fight, Lizetta slammed her head against the wall with more force.
"Miss!"
Anna, seeing her lady in distress, reached out to pull Lizetta away, but she barely moved before Remington's icy stare made her retract her hand.
Lizetta released a pained Stella, who immediately clutched her head, leaning weakly against the wall.
Lizetta glared at her, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Stella, you do realize this is a hospital, not Broadway, right? I don't mind your little dramas, but don't joke around with a child's safety!"
Stella's forehead was bruised, her face pale, eyes teary, and utterly shocked and wronged.
"Remington, you know how
important Ron is to our family. I'm his aunt, why would I intentionally harm him? How can Liz accuse me of such a thing..."
Tears fell from Stella's eyes as she subtly signaled Anna.
Biting her lip, Anna pointed at Lizetta.
"Mr. Dashiell, she adores Mr. Ron. I saw everything clearly; it was she who deliberately let go, causing Mr. Ron to fall." Stella shot Anna a look.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Anna, stop! It wasn't intentional on Liz's part, thankfully Ron's okay."
Stella, playing the understanding part, moved closer to Remington to check on Ron nestled in his arms.
Lizetta felt a sting watching the two stand together, resembling a perfect little family.
It was unbearably irritating.
Furthermore, Stella and Anna were insistent that she had intentionally tried to harm the baby, making her the one with a motive.
Lizetta sensed Remington's silence as a sign of his belief in their words.
Her heart sank, yet she couldn't bring herself to argue.
Silently, she turned to leave, but the next moment, her wrist was caught in a familiar, strong grip.
Turning back, Lizetta met
Remington's gaze, focused yet
tender as he said, "Sweetheart
fetch the doctor. The baby's V out."
Stunned by his words, Lizetta realized his stance.
He believed her.
And there, in front of Stella, he had tenderly called her "sweetheart."
Her heart skipped a beat, but there wasn't time to dwell on it.

Worried, she glanced at the baby's head, only then noticing the missing
