At Nancy’s husband Patrick’s funeral, she met an old lady named Amanda who was holding a baby. This woman turned Nancy’s world upside down. When Amanda told Nancy that the child was Patrick’s, Nancy was shocked, feeling confused and upset.
She was having a hard time dealing with the news, and she started to doubt Patrick’s loyalty. She had always thought he was faithful to her, but now she had to face the fact that he might have been cheating on her. Nancy’s mind was spinning as she tried to figure out what was going on.
As Nancy negotiated the strange event, she ran into Mike, an old friend of Patrick’s who offered his regrets. But Nancy was too busy to talk, so she quickly left.
Nancy found Amanda missing and the same baby sitting in the back seat of her car. This was another surprise turn in the story. Nancy tried to figure out what was going on because she was worried and confused.
Nancy was taking care of the baby when she saw that the child’s neck had the same birthmark as Patrick’s. She looked into it more and found out the truth after making this finding. Nancy chose to get a paternity test done to find out for sure if Patrick was the child’s real father.
As Nancy had feared, the test findings showed that Patrick was the father of the child. Nancy was determined to find the child’s mother and talk to her about it. At first, she looked through Patrick’s things for hints, but it wasn’t until she looked at his GPS history that she found something useful.
Nancy found Amanda again by following the GPS trail to a small house. Emma, the child’s mother, had died just a few days before Amanda told them. Nancy found a shocking link as Amanda told Emma’s story: Emma had been her classmate and friend twenty years ago.
As Nancy realised that she had sabotaged Emma and Patrick’s relationship out of anger and jealousy, she remembered all the mistakes she had made in the past. Amanda was shocked and felt bad for Nancy as she admitted she was guilty.
But in the end, Nancy admitted she was wrong and chose to raise Catherine as her own child. Nancy slowly told Catherine the truth about her family past as she grew up. Catherine’s love and acceptance helped Nancy forgive and change.
