"Bro, why'd you call me out here?"
"Grandma came out with you, and she almost got scalded. Don't you have anything to say about that?"
Jerome furrowed his brows slightly, his mind drifting back to that incident at the airport.
It was Mrs. Bernice Madden who had gone to the restroom with Andrea, only to get lost. If it hadn't been for Lizetta bumping into them...
In places like airports, where getting lost could lead to unimaginable consequences, Jerome's gaze grew sharper with each passing moment.
Andrea's face paled slightly as she clenched her fists, "Bro, it was Grandma who wanted to ask the doctor when Ms. Gardenia would be discharged. I had Elva go with Grandma. It was because Grandma was impatient and couldn't wait for the doctor that she ran into that mishap. Hospitals are full of germs and all sorts of people; frankly, it might be best if Grandma visits less. Ms. Gardenia needs to rest, and I don't think she was all that welcoming of our visit anyway."
What Andrea implied was that Lizetta only showed warmth towards Mrs. Bernice Madden in front of Jerome and Nelson.
Jerome looked at Andrea, "No one forced you to accompany Grandma here, but since you did bring her, it was your responsibility to ensure her safety, not just hand her off to a maid."
Andrea's eyes welled up as if she felt unjustly accused, and she lowered her head in a show of hurt feelings.
"I get it, okay? Grandma's my own flesh and blood too. How could you talk as if I did it on purpose? It scared me too…"
Jerome stared at her, remaining silent.
However, he suspected that Andrea's actions might not be entirely without ulterior motives. She clearly didn't want them getting too close to Lizetta, fearing that if something happened to Mrs. Bernice Madden during her visits...
They might stop allowing the elderly lady to come over, or worse, it could lead to resentment towards Lizetta.
After a moment.

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....
