Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Liz didn't want to bring up the whole "make Cassius Sterling regret it" spiel anymore. To her, what a jerk did was irrelevant.

She just hoped that Yoli could find the one truly meant for her. Despite having parents and a brother, Yoli's family clearly favored sons over daughters, their bias as vast as the Pacific Ocean. The struggles Yoli faced growing up were all too clear to Liz.

Now, Yoli was finally on her feet career-wise, tasting the sweet after the bitter.

Love was just the icing on the cake, nice to have but not essential. So, of course, she should aim for someone truly worthy!

"Wow, you really trust Mr. Madden, huh?" Yoli raised an eyebrow.

Liz laughed, "Of course, birds of a feather flock together. Why not skip the blind dates? How about my brother? Keep it in the family, you know?"

Yoli quickly waved her off, Jerome was great.

But she wasn't blind; Jerome's heart belonged to Liz.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

The Maddens had the same idea, wanting Liz and Jerome together, which is why they had Liz come to Zion City to stay with Jerome.

Yoli would meet any man, but she drew the line at getting involved with someone close to her sister from another mister.

"I'm actually looking forward to blind dating, but would you come with me for the first time?"

Liz shook her head, but Yoli clung to her arm, playfully pleading.

This girl was straightforward, hardly the type to act coy.

Liz couldn't resist, nodding in agreement, as Yoli added, "By the way, I'm all sorted now. I'm thinking of having my assistant come over later to help me move my stuff back.

I won't be staying here anymoreck.

She wanted to let Liz know.

With Jerome here and Nelson Madden playing matchmaker, staying was a last resort.

It was time to move on, especially since Yoli respected Jerome, a genuinely kind and faithful man who would undoubtedly treat Liz like a queen.

She was eagerly anticipating Liz and Jerome's wedding, hoping to see Remington, the ever-so aloof ice block, on his knees in regret.

Little did Yoli know, that ice block was quietly about to make a move that could have changed everything.

Liz drove to the hospital, carrying a breakfast basket, and bumped into Jerome's assistant, Horace.

Horace quickly came to greet her, taking the basket and saying, "M Madden, will be thrilled to know you came to see him this early. And you even brought him breakfast. was just about to order food."

Liz remembered Jerome's hospitalization due to a stomach issue, amidst the whirlwind of events these past days.

She had completely forgotten about it and didn't even know Jerome was still admitted.

And Remington was admitted to the same hospital near Maple Cottage today.

Horace assumed Liz was there for Jerome, and seeing the basket now firmly in his grasp, she felt too

ashamed to admit her actual reason for being there, having neglected Jerome's situation entirely

She smiled at Horace, inquiring warmly about Jerome's recovery, and decided to follow him to Jerome's room, embracing the misunderstanding.
