Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 659

Nelson's hand trembled slightly as he held the glass, suddenly turning to look at Jerome with wide eyes.

"Grandpa, it seems you've thought of it too," Jerome said, leaning in to take the glass from the old man's hand and wiping the droplets of water off his backhand with a tissue.

Nelson, in disbelief, grasped Jerome's hand with force. "Could it be... Liz is the one? How is that possible?"

His voice quivered, but his mind flashed back to the first time he saw Lizetta, the shock he felt at her familiar appearance. And the inexplicable warmth he felt every time he saw that child. He also remembered the paternity test he had conducted for Andrea eight years ago.

"Grandpa, I secretly redid the paternity test. Here's the electronic version of the final result; you can take a look. The paper version will be delivered by Horace later."

Seeing Nelson had guessed, Jerome opened the paternity test report he had just received on his phone and pushed it towards him. "This one is the grandmother's and Liz's paternity test, confirming her as our granddaughter. And this one is the comparison between the grandmother and Nianwen's DNA, showing they are not related. I also sent a sample of your hair to be tested with Liz; though it's a bit more complex, the results will be out later."

As Jerome spoke, Nelson, trembling, put on his glasses and reviewed both reports carefully. His chest heaved, "So... Liz is Elsa's daughter, my granddaughter!" Nelson's voice was hoarse, seeking confirmation again from Jerome. Even after a lifetime of experiences, this truth still left him utterly disoriented.

After giving Nelson his usual blood pressure medication, he gradually calmed down, waving off the visibly concerned Jerome. "I'm fine, you're right. I need to stay strong for Liz!"

Nelson thought of his wife, who, despite her confusion, recognized her granddaughter at first sight, longing for her. Yet he had been oblivious to his granddaughter's presence all this time, blaming himself for being the truly senile one, feeling he had let her down.

He closed his eyes, instructing in a hoarse voice, "We must keep this under wraps for now. How the child was switched, whether the problem lies within the Madden family, what happened with the fake paternity test years ago, we need to investigate thoroughly! And, find me a reliable psychologist. I need to know if it's right to tell Liz about this..."
