Chapter 347:

Initially, Lanny basked in contentment, savoring wine and reveling in the melodies that filled the air. But the tranquility shattered as soon as Glenda returned home, unleashing a storm of confrontation upon him. Impatiently, he inquired, “Are you out of your mind? It’s none of my concern whom you encounter at the hospital.”

Glenda’s countenance darkened, her words slicing through the air with icy precision. “I crossed paths with that madwoman.”

Impatiently, Lanny interjected, “Which madwoman exactly?” After a brief lapse, he snapped back to attention, straightening his posture with newfound seriousness. “Who did you say you encountered?”

“Dorothy Conner, the very woman you’ve been searching for,” Glenda replied with a disdainful sneer. “Dorothy has divulged to Elyse that I’m not her mother. Your worst fear is materializing.”

Undeterred, Lanny maintained his composure, chin held high. “She is simply not in her right mind. Does Elyse truly believe her words?”

“Jayden has requested a maternity test,” Glenda revealed.

Lanny’s eyelids twitched, apprehension evident in his voice. “Did you agree to it?”

Glenda nodded resignedly. “Refusal wasn’t an option. They’ve compelled me. I had no choice but to return to you.”
