After Patrick’s sudden death, his wife Nancy was confronted by a stranger at the funeral — holding a baby she
claimed was Patrick’s. Shocked, Nancy dismissed the woman, only to later find the crying infant abandoned in her car.
The baby’s birthmark matched Patrick’s. A DNA test confirmed the truth: Patrick was the father.
Determined to return the child, Nancy traced the woman to a house where she learned the full story. The baby’s mother, Emma
— Patrick’s former love — had died days after him. Years ago, Nancy had lied about being pregnant to keep Patrick, driving Emma away.
Haunted by guilt, Nancy chose to raise the child, Catherine, as her own. Sixteen years later, Nancy revealed the truth,
fearing rejection. Instead, Catherine embraced her, saying, “You’re my mom in every way that counts.” In that moment, Nancy finally found peace.
