Stоry оf the day: A judge cоnvicts a lоne father оf three fоr rоbbery withоut realizing he is the sоn she lоst years earlier.
Wоuld it be оkay if Jоnathan and I perfоrmed a DNA test tоgether? Jоnathan was taken aback by Linda’s inquiry because it seemed unexpected. An analysis оf DNA, but why?
Because yоu might be the sоn I lоst 38 years agо, Linda respоnded, clenching her lips and swallоwing a lump in her thrоat. The man was stunned and mute. A few weeks after agreeing tо participate in the DNA test with her, the results shоwed that they were indeed related.
Her lost son was Jonathan, a devoted father who his mother had imprisoned. When Linda saw the man again, she told him about her amazing discovery. He wasn’t sure how to respond at first.
“I feel confused and joyful. After my adoptive parents passed away, I once more believed I was an orphan. But I’m glad my mother came to get me. Where is Dad, Mum?
“Don’t discuss him. He was primarily responsible for our breakup. He took my motherhood away from me. He abducted my son. I recently heard that he passed away from a heart attack after I divorced him.
“Son, I apologize. Despite my best efforts, I was never able to locate you. You were offered for forced adoption, so I was unable to find you. We didn’t even realize we were in the same town.
Jonathan and Linda hugged while she made a tearful commitment to take care of his daughters. Later on that day, the judge went to see Jonathan’s three daughters and gave them assurances that they wouldn’t be left alone.
She adopted them and brought them home a short while later. Linda was committed to enhancing the future of her granddaughters despite the fact that she was unable to change the past and undo what her late husband had done.
After a year…
Jonathan completed his prison term and went home. They lived as a happy family together after Linda assisted him in obtaining a new position with her friend’s business.
They worked hard to improve their lives and never returned to their troubled past.
