Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 694

Nelson noticed her hesitancy and obvious panic. "Liz, do you... do you not forgive us? Do you not want to acknowledge us?"

Lizetta was momentarily taken aback, then quickly responded, "It's not Grandpa's fault, it's Hans's mistake. How could I not acknowledge you? I trust you, Grandpa."

Lizetta was in good spirits and easily accepted Nelson, along with the matter of acknowledging her family. Having been adrift since childhood, she had always longed for familial love and connection. Especially now, having left the Dashiell household behind, she was more vulnerable than ever, alone and emotionally fragile. The prior rapport with Mrs. Bernice Madden had laid a foundation for affection, making this acknowledgment a deeply desired joy for Lizetta.

Nelson had been extremely anxious, fearing Lizetta wouldn't easily accept them, fearing she would blame them for losing her, and fearing any further emotional distress for her. But everything was going smoother than expected. Truly his granddaughter, kind, forgiving, and understanding!

He beamed, wrinkles crinkling with joy, "Alright, let’s go home, Grandpa's taking you home! Your grandma's waiting for us."

Nelson was impatient to leave, grabbing Lizetta to head out.

Hogan, not expecting any complications, hurriedly stepped forward. "Liz, have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Hearing Hogan’s voice, Lizetta paused, the uncontrollable feeling seemingly returning.
