When I discovered why my four-year-old son was so upset every time my mother-in-law babysat him, I took revenge…

Zoe, a busy nurse, relied on her mother-in-law, Denise, to keep her son Leo while she worked late shifts. However, Leo has lately begun to fear his grandmother’s visits, clinging to Zoe and hiding when Denise arrives. When he eventually disclosed the explanation, Zoe was shocked—Denise had been collecting his saliva with a cotton swab and following him about to test his DNA. Her motive? Denise doubted Leo’s paternity because of his blonde hair.

Zoe became enraged and approached Denise, who confirmed her concerns. Andrew, Zoe’s husband, suggested a DNA test to resolve the issue, but Zoe added a stipulation:

Andrew should also test his DNA. The arrival of the results confirmed Leo’s parentage, but a startling revelation surfaced: Andrew was not his father’s biological son. Andrew was stunned by the discovery, and he distanced himself from Denise, who had admitted to having an affair years before. With her anxieties revealed, Denise lost control of their family, while Zoe and Andrew opted to move ahead, leaving the past behind.
