When Amy was twenty-five, she married Jake, and the two of them were in love. Their lives became chaotic after giving birth to their daughter Jess a few months ago due to the mother-in-law’s remarks.
The couple was content with their new baby, who had stunning green eyes, but it was obvious that the mother-in-law’s speculative remarks were meant to hurt them.
The incessant requests for a DNA test from Amy’s mother-in-law had prompted her to do one, even though her husband never questioned his wife or thought she had cheated on him. All she wanted was for her mother-in-law to quit being cruel.
Amy urged her husband to allow his wife to take the DNA test, even though he had never consented to her doing so. When the results were delivered, they brought their family around to discuss them. Amy and Jake were taken aback by the findings.
“Honey, Jess is your daughter but…” Amy said to her husband as soon as everyone got home. “Yes, Jessica is your daughter, but your dad isn’t really your dad,” she went on.
The mother-in-law’s face paled as the room went silent. The things Amy was saying astounded her father-in-law. “It’s a LIE, honey,” the woman turned to her husband, who couldn’t contain his horror.
“This is a lie, honey! She had to have had an impact on the outcome! I could never treat you that way! And so the mother-in-law went on.
“Janice! After all these years? You’ve been lying to me so much, don’t you? remarked the father-in-law.
Amy intended to demonstrate to her mother-in-law that it hurts to be falsely accused, not to shatter her father-in-law’s heart. However, Amy was unaware that she would reveal some realities about the family when the truth came to light.
“Honey, I can explain, please don’t go,” Janice begged the father-in-law as he was departing, sobbing over the test that had upended the family’s lives.
