Chapter 368
I started to secondâguess myself. After all, my knowledge of Lilliana was scant at best. So, I kept quiet and didnât make a peep.
Lilliana inched closer to Gregory, squatting beside him like a startled bunny. âGreg, whatâs wrong? Youâre so cold all of a suddenâ¦â
âLilliana?â Gregory eyed her, âDo you know when I started suspecting you?â
âÃh, what do you mean?â Confusion swam in her eyes.
Gregory offered a wry smile. âLily never calls me Greg, not even once. You gave yourself away the first time we met.â
No wonder. It was no wonder Gregory had been so sure. Yet, that DNA report had made him ponder over and over.
ââ¦â Her gaze flickered, hands twisting nervously, tears seemingly on the brink, âThen, what did I call you when we were kids?â
âYou claim to remember so much about our childhood, Gregory scrutinized her, âHow come you forgot how
to call me?â
â
Gregory Ford! Under his questioning, the first response that popped into my head was his full name. It wasnât even intentional, just instinctual.
Susan seemed protective of the longâlost daughter, helping her up from the ground, âGreg, do you realize how hard weâve worked to find Lilliana? Why canât you let this go?â
âShe insists on marrying me, doesnât she?â Gregory chuckled, his gaze sharp, âI need to ensure who my future wife is, a faithful girl or a liar.â
He exchanged a look with Ramona, getting her silent consent, then called for the butler, Farley. In a calm tone, he instructed, âFarley, could you please contact the doctor for an allergy test? Letâs see if itâs truly peanuts sheâs allergic to or if something else caused the rash as a diversion.â
âGregory, what are you suggesting?â Susanâs face fell. âCanât I recognize my daughter?â
âWe donât have to test, then. We can call off the engagement.â Gregoryâs response was calm and collected.

Susanâs resistance made Ramonaâs position crystal clear. Slamming her cup on the table, she declared, âLetâs do another paternity test!â
âGrandmaâ¦â Lilliana cried uncontrollably, her body quivering with each sob. âYou, you donât want me, either?â Ramona cried, unable to bear looking at her. Ans she told Farley to collect a hair sample.
The longâlost granddaughter might be a fraud, a truth no one could easily accept. But if she were genuine, redoing the test would only hurt their relationship.
Under the watchful eyes of four or five people, plus Farley being the most trusted person by the elderly lady, the entire process left no room for mistakes.

Farley placed the hair into a clear plastic bag, Intending to hand it to Ramona, but she waved him off. âGive it to Greg.â
Ramona didnât trust the Myers familyâs hospital.
Lilliana fainted from crying. Fortunately, she was discharged thanks to the Myers family arranging a professional medical team to care for her at home.
