Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1212

That was exactly what Nelson had said all those years ago. As he turned to open the car door, he discreetly brought a hand up and wiped the moisture from his eyes.

Stepping out, he reached back to help Bernice out of the car.

Jerome was utterly astounded. The way Bernice had just spoken—her expression, her tone—was entirely like a normal, lucid person.

Seeing his grandfather enthusiastically pulling his grandmother out of the car, actually preparing to crouch down and give her a piggyback ride, Jerome finally snapped to his senses. He threw his door open and rushed over with long strides to intercept them.

"Grandpa Nelson, take it easy..."

The old man was in his eighties. If he tried to carry her now, he was bound to throw his back out.

Worse, if they took a tumble, it would be a disaster.

But the moment Jerome tried to pull him back, Nelson stubbornly shook off his hand, refusing to act his age.

"Take what easy? I can do it! I'm a man of my word. I need to prove it to your grandmother, so step aside. Stop getting in my way."

"No, Grandpa, you can't..."

Jerome tried to block him again. Nelson's face darkened. "Jerome, are you saying you doubt me too?"

Seeing the old man growing even more determined, Jerome felt a massive headache coming on.

Remington had just walked out of the cemetery gates with Liz on his back when they caught sight of the commotion.

Liz quickly tapped Remington's shoulder, signaling him to put her down, and hurried over.

"Jerome, what's going on?"

Jerome looked at her like she was a lifesaver. Before he could speak, Nelson excitedly grabbed Liz's hand.

"Liz, your grandmother just remembered something from when we were young!"

"Really?!" Liz's face lit up with a brilliant smile.
