A week after Patrick’s death, Nancy felt his presence everywhere. At the cemetery, an older woman named Amanda approached her with shocking news: the baby she was holding was Patrick’s child, and only Nancy could care for her. Overwhelmed, Nancy left, denying the possibility of Patrick’s infidelity.

But when she found the baby crying in her car, a birthmark on the child’s neck—the same as Patrick’s—forced Nancy to confront the truth. Desperate for answers, she had a paternity test done. The results showed a 99% match.

Determined to find the baby’s mother, Nancy traced Patrick’s GPS history to an unfamiliar address. It led her to Amanda, who revealed that the baby’s mother, Emma, had died of a heart attack after learning about Patrick’s accident. Nancy learned that Emma had been Patrick’s first love, and years ago, she had wronged her by lying about a pregnancy to keep Patrick.

As Nancy shared her past with Amanda, she realized how much her actions had hurt others. She decided to raise the baby, Catherine, as her own, seeking redemption. Years later, when Catherine turned 16, Nancy revealed the truth. To her surprise, Catherine forgave her, affirming that Nancy had been her true mother all along.

Nancy felt relieved, believing that Patrick and Emma had forgiven her too. She had raised Catherine with love, and the weight of her past mistakes had finally lifted.
