Shattered Illusions: Love, Lies, and Redemption

"If that's still not enough to convince you, the medical team that operated on Daisyseph can confirm that the last thing used was Daisyy's cord blood!" Remington said this with an emotionless face, but his eyes grew colder and more intense.

He rose from the couch and walked towards Hanna step by step.

Hanna couldn't stand his gaze and the pressure, backing away step by step until her legs gave way, and she fell to the floor with a thud.

Remington's figure cast a shadow over her, and Hanna was terrified, feeling like any second now, Remington would pull out a gun and end her life right there.

"Honey! Honey... save me, I didn't mean to do this!" Hanna, panic-stricken, crawled behind Nathan.

Nathan knelt down, grabbed her arm, and asked, "Did you really do this? Why would you even go this far?"

Tears fell from Hanna's eyes. "I didn't expect... I just had Hans try to make Lizetta give birth prematurely. I never thought he would go so far, even to the point of kidnapping and running someone over with a car!"

"You... you've lost your mind! That's our grandchild too!" Even if they didn't like Lizetta, that was still their first grandchild.

Nathan had even mentioned to Fiona before, wanting Lizetta to give up her parental rights.

But Hanna cried out, "I had no choice! The bone marrow donor for Daisyseph... drowned half a month ago! But Daisyseph had been admitted to the clinic last month, and without the transplant surgery, Daisyseph would have died!"

"How could someone just drown like that?" Nathan frowned.

Choking up, Hanna replied, "I had someone watch over him, take good care of him. How could I have known he'd sneak out in the middle of the night and accidentally fall into the river and drown!"

Fiona had been silent until now but couldn't contain her anger any longer and threw her walking stick at Hanna.

"That bone marrow donor was someone Remington had gone to great lengths to find for Daisyseph You failed to take care of him, and to cover up the incident, you set your sights on Liz! You've completely lost your humanity!" The walking stick hit Hanna on the head, and she clutched her forehead.

"Mom, I really just wanted Hans to scare Lizetta a bit, make her givez birth early. I didn't expect Lizetta to bleed so much, that the baby would be in danger. Seven months, it should have been viable..."

"Enough!" Fiona shouted angrily.

Hanna, frightened, fell silent.

Fiona stood up and said to Remington, "Do what you must, Remington. I'm going to check on Liz."

"Mother-in-law! You can't just leave things like this." Hanna's face went pale as she pleaded.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Nathan also frowned, "Mom, Hanna may have been wrong, but it was all to save Daisyseph..."

Their anxiety stemmed from knowing that in the Dashiell family, Fiona's word carried weight with Remington.

With the matriarch gone, given

Remington's ruthless nature and his

dissatisfaction and coldness

towards his parents, he was unlikely to let Hanna off easily.

But Fiona, without looking back, ascended the stairs with Tina's assistance.

"Remington, how do you plan to handle this? Before you decide, remember, no matter what, she is your mother!" Nathan looked at Remington, his voice heavy.

Even though his relationship with Hanna wasn't good, she was still his wife and the mother of his children; he couldn't just stand by.

After pondering for a moment, he suggested, "How about we send your mother abroad, ban her from returning for five years, would that be acceptable?"
