Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

Lizetta had long suspected that her child wasn't Rem's, and it definitely wasn't a DNA test on her unborn baby that would confirm this.

Just a couple of days ago, she had coerced Edith into letting her undergo an amniocentesis, something she had been keeping a close eye on.

Unexpectedly, Rem arrived and straight-up destroyed Lizetta's amniotic fluid sample.

Trouble had struck Edith's house, and even Hanna found herself under Rem's watchful eye.

Evelina had been tormented by nightmares all night, but in the morning, Rem still hadn't shown up at her door.

Evelina figured Edith must know that if she revealed her involvement, her punishment would only be more severe, hence why she wasn't dragged into it. But what was Lizetta doing here for a paternity test?

Could it be that the baby in Lizetta's belly really wasn't Rem's? Was Lizetta here to secretly get a paternity test done for some mystery man?

The thought made Evelina's blood boil.

She hurriedly urged April, "April, you've got to find out what she's here for!"

Lizetta approached the service desk and easily got her hands on the paternity test report.

She didn't immediately open it to read the results but clutched the envelope as she left.

Just as she had left, April quickly made her way to the desk.

Once Lizetta was in the car and it started moving, she fumbled with the envelope, unsure of what result she hoped to see.
