Elena gently urged him to look at the baby’s ankle — a crescent-shaped birthmark identical to Marcus’s. She then revealed she carried a rare recessive gene that could produce such features regardless of the parents’ appearance. “I didn’t tell you because the odds were so slim,” she said.
Though stunned, Marcus embraced them, whispering, “We’ll figure this out — together.” But things worsened when his family refused to accept the baby. His mother even tried to wipe off the birthmark. Furious, Marcus kicked her out. “You can’t be a part of our lives unless you embrace our child.”
Eventually, Elena suggested a DNA test to end the doubts. Marcus agreed. When the doctor confirmed Marcus was the biological father, the truth silenced everyone. With tears, his mother asked for forgiveness. Elena hugged her, saying, “We’re family.” Despite everything, love and truth united them.
