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.

The readers' comments on the novel: Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington)
Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring? I am starting to lose my patience and ask when will the writer finally will realize that the protagonist is Lizetta and not Stella....
