I started to second-guess myself. After all, my knowledge of Lilliana was scant at best. So, I kept quiet and didn't make a peep.
Lilliana inched closer to Gregory, squatting beside him like a startled bunny. "Greg, what's wrong? You're so cold all of a sudden..."
"Lilliana?" Gregory eyed her, "Do you know when I started suspecting you?"
"Uh, what do you mean?" Confusion swam in her eyes.
Gregory offered a wry smile. "Lily never calls me Greg, not even once. You gave yourself away the first time we met."
No wonder. It was no wonder Gregory had been so sure. Yet, that DNA report had made him ponder over and over.
"..." Her gaze flickered, hands twisting nervously, tears seemingly on the brink, "Then, what did I call you when we were kids?"
"You claim to remember so much about our childhood, Gregory scrutinized her, "How come you forgot how to call me?"
Gregory Ford! Under his questioning, the first response that popped into my head was his full name. It wasn't even intentional, just instinctual.
Susan seemed protective of the long-lost daughter, helping her up from the ground, "Greg, do you realize how hard we've worked to find Lilliana? Why can't you let this go?"
"She insists on marrying me, doesn't she?" Gregory chuckled, his gaze sharp, "I need to ensure who my future wife is, a faithful girl or a liar."

"Gregory, what are you suggesting?" Susan's face fell. "Can't I recognize my daughter?"
"We don't have to test, then. We can call off the engagement." Gregory's response was calm and collected.

gory's voice was cold, mocking, "To an outsider, it might seem Susan's resistance made Ramona's position crystal clear. Slamming her cup on the table, she declared, "Let's do another paternity test!"
"Grandma..." Lilliana cried uncontrollably, her body quivering with each sob, "You you don't want me, either? Ramona cried, unable to bear looking at her. Ans she told Farley to collect a hair sample.
The long-lost granddaughter might be a fraud, a truth no one could easily accept. But if she were genuine, reading the test would only hurt their relationship.
Under the watchful eyes of four or five people, plus Farley being then 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. "Give it to Greg."
Ramona didn't trust the Myers family's 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.
