Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

"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.
