Chapter 219
It was Hogan.
Decked out in a lab coat, he oozed doctor vibes and authority. The crowd was instantly zapped into
silence.
“Dr. White.” A bunch of frazzled nurses clung to him like he was their rock.
Hogan’s voice thundered again, “Security’s on its way, cut the drama! This is a hospital! All you rubberneckers, scatter!”
He barked orders at the medical staff, “Go check on the patients, stat.”
The crowd thinned out in no time, with the head nurse leading her team into the ward.
Lizetta finally stepped away from the bedside, taking a deep breath as she made her way towards Hogan and Yolanda at the door.
Yolanda’s livestream was still rolling. She aimed the camera at Jolin and Apollo’s faces inside the ward and blasted at her viewers.
“Things are not at all what you’ve been hearing, folks. You’ve been played by these three, take a good look at their mugs!”
“What the heck are you doing?”
“Back off, shut it down!”
The trio of Jolin was herded back, hands awkwardly shielding their faces from
e lens.
The head nurse, tired of the commotion, reminded them, and Yolanda finally killed the livestream.
Meanwhile, Evelina, who had been glued to the stream in her car, saw the chat flip and threw her phone in a fit of rage.
Fuming, she looked up just in time to see a familiar Cullinan speeding into the underground parking
lot.
Seeing Remington get out and stride towards the elevator with Cedric, Evelina bit her lip till it almost
bled.
Remington was here, too.
He still cared, he was here for Lizetta!
Evelina recalled the male voice she’d heard on the livestream, her lips curled into a cold smirk.
Too bad for Remington, he was a step late. Witnessing someone else playing the knight in shining armor for Lizetta must have been a bitter pill to swallow.
Evelina let out a snort and swung her car door open.
Back in the ward.
Jolin thought a little ruckus would do the trick, that Lizetta would cough up the cash.

Chapter 219
She couldn’t believe Lizetta left her marriage to Remington without a penny to her name.
But despite all the commotion, Lizetta didn’t budge an inch.
Once Hogan showed up, followed by hospital security, they even booted Jolin and her posse out of the ward.
“I’m warning you, no more trouble, get lost!” Security let go, eyeing the trio.
Lizetta stepped out of the ward, knowing she had to deal with Thaddeus‘ situation.
Kicking Jolin and company out wouldn’t be the end of it–they were bound to cause more trouble. With Thaddeus Incapacitated and Jolin his mother, if she wanted to stand in the way, getting Thad out of the country would be a real headache.
