Frozen delivery room
James was running out of breath when he ran out of his office. He had just finished a business meeting with a client when he received a call from the hospital informing him that his beloved wife, Emily, had given birth. When he arrived at the hospital and was shown to the delivery room by the receptionist, he hurried down the hallway, unable to contain his excitement. As he walked through the delivery room door, he wanted to scream out with happiness. Why ……,” James let out a bewildered cry. He saw the twin babies that had just been taken away. One had translucent white skin, and the other was pitch black.
The couple’s confusion
James and Emily are both Caucasian. Normally, there is no way that a dark-skinned child would be born. However, one of the babies in front of us was definitely dark-skinned. Since it had just been born, there was no way in the world that it could have been mistaken for a baby from another family due to a hospital error. The doctors and nurses were astonished and exclaimed. The delivery room was filled with a heavy silence. Then James remembered a story and felt his blood run cold.
her husband’s sudden change of heart
James recalled a TV program he had seen a few months earlier. According to the program, a woman can have a relationship with two men in a short period of time and conceive fraternal twins, each with a different father. James suspected that Emily was cheating on him. With a disdainful glance at Emily, James silently left the delivery room. What was the truth about Emily’s pregnancy? And what would be the fate of the twins?
A lonely night
That evening, Emily stared across a sheet of glass at the twins in the newborn room. She couldn’t stop the tears from spilling over after her, “How could I let this happen ……?” Emily had no evidence of the affair that James had suspected. However, it is a fact that the twins, one with translucent white skin and the other with pitch-black skin, are not the children of the same father. Emily could only stand by and watch the tragedy of a child who was supposed to be the fruit of their love, but who was now tormenting the couple.
Mother-in-law’s visit
The next day, James appeared in Emily’s hospital room just as visiting hours began. Emily was delighted to see her beloved husband, but her face immediately froze. Her mother-in-law followed her husband into the hospital room. She stared at her mother-in-law as if she was looking at something dirty. What hurt Emily was that even her husband looked at her with the same cold stare. How had James come to be so suspicious of the wife he loved so much?
Jealous nature
James was the ideal husband, but Emily’s only complaint was that he was possessive and jealous. The mere mention of a male schoolmate or business colleague would put James in a bad mood. Once, when he was seen answering a question for directions, he became incensed that Emily had made a false accusation and had a hard time clearing up the misunderstanding. Because James was such a man, his reason was blown away by his exploding jealousy, and he was in a very difficult state of calm.
Internet search history
Trapped by strong suspicions, James could not stop looking things up on his smartphone in an attempt to calm down as much as possible. Signs of cheating, different fathers even though they are twins, his suspicions deepened with each successive search. All he could see were bad articles that made him uneasy. Incorrect information, unsubstantiated falsehoods, and biased search results eroded James’ rationality. Thus, in a vicious cycle, he became more and more suspicious of Emily.
Insufficient explanation by the physician
The next day, James walked past Emily’s hospital room and headed for the doctor’s office. The next day, he walked past Emily’s hospital room and went to the doctor. Is that child really mine?” He was referring to a dark-skinned child whose blood did not feel like his own. I asked him straight out about the possibility of cheating. As a doctor, I can’t tell you what I don’t know for sure. But the word “DNA test” ironically made James more suspicious.
The morning of his discharge
The day Emily was discharged from the hospital, James was there to pick her up. Come here, it’s daddy,” said James, looking happily into his child’s face. How cute!” James looked happily into his child’s face. But all he saw was a white-skinned child in his arms. James didn’t even look back at Emily’s voice. You’re the one who’s left with the child. He left the hospital room, leaving the child behind as if it were an object. Emily rushes after him with the other child in her arms. What will happen to Emily and the dark-skinned child?
Alleged photo
The day after Emily was discharged from the hospital. Convinced of his wife’s infidelity, her mother strongly advised James to divorce her, and he was packing his bags to leave. Deep down, however, he wanted to believe his wife, and he was not sure if he could really leave the house. It was then that he found a picture that had suddenly fallen out of his pocket, perhaps caught in something. It was a young black man. As long as it was not James’, he could only assume it was Emily’s. He grabbed the photo with trembling hands and went to his wife.
Pursuit and Tears
I knew you were cheating on me!” The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you’re doing. What are you talking about, it’s a picture of my grandfather when he was young. ……” “Do you think you can fool me with such an excuse? Emily was so startled by the accusation that she burst into tears. She was so shocked by the outburst of anger that she burst into tears.
Advice from a friend
That evening, James did not go home, but was at a bar having drinks with his friend Bob. Bob tapped James on the shoulder and said, “You women are such cowards, you think if you cry men will forgive you.” He had been divorced for cheating on his wife two years before, and he compared his friend’s situation to his own. ‘Maybe you should be ready for it?’ At Bob’s words, James slammed the glass he had just drained onto the counter. What exactly is it that James has decided to do?
James’ Preparedness
When James returned home, he said to Emily, “I’m sorry about the heat. Emily was relieved to see her husband’s calm demeanor, but she was mistaken. I want you to be honest with me, that man is your other father, isn’t he? James’ resolution was to get Emily to confess her betrayal. She was desperate to clear up the misunderstanding. She is trying her best to clear up the misunderstanding, “Do you think I’m a fool?” James’ anger flared up again as he realized that this woman still thought she could cheat on him.
exculpation and vindication
For Emily, James’ suspicions were a false accusation that she did not remember. She is only being truthful, but the more she excuses herself, the deeper she falls into the trap. Emily’s heartfelt plea, “Please believe me, you’re all I have,” is lost on James. I can say whatever I want with just words. I’ll prove it to you,” he asks her, as she gasps for air. What does James want her to do?
A Cruel Proposal
How do you expect me to prove it?” Emily’s voice trembled at James’ unreasonable demand. It was the devil’s proof; I can’t think of any way to prove something that hasn’t happened. I looked it up. James thrust his phone at Emily and showed her the words “DNA testing” on it. You can do it at a nearby clinic, he said. If the results are black, we’re getting a divorce. Emily was very disappointed with his attitude that she was a sinner from the very beginning.
Broken Bonds
The DNA test that James confronted, meant the death of the couple’s trust in each other. He did not trust the word of his wife, to whom he had pledged his life-long love, and he wanted to use the power of data to expose her lies. Even if he was vindicated in this way, Emily thought, there was no way they could ever be the loving couple they once were. What will happen to them now that they have chosen the irreversible path of DNA testing?
Inspection day
The next day, James and his family drove to the clinic. Emily, the husband, drove silently in the backseat, nursing the twins, searching for the right words to say, but finding none. At the clinic, a happy couple is sitting in a friendly atmosphere. Meanwhile, James, who had just checked in, was sitting a few feet away from Emily, who was trying not to cry. Finally, the nurse called their names. To Emily, it sounded like a court call.
Four cotton swabs
The doctor’s office, which the couple had visited many times, felt like a place they had never been before, and the unusual purpose of the DNA test was making them both terribly nervous. The doctor took out a cotton swab and took turns rubbing the inside of the couple’s cheeks. He then rubbed the inside of the twins’ mouths in the same manner, placing each in a container labeled with their names. Emily looked at the container as if in prayer. Four swabs, that’s all it took for the family’s future to be at stake.
A week too long
During the week leading up to the results, the house that was supposed to be their love nest was filled with a heavy atmosphere. James took care of only children with the same skin as his own, and his appearance seemed to silently blame Emily. It was not until the third day that Emily noticed her husband packing. Emily realized that her denial would not reach her husband, and she could say nothing as James assured her of the outcome, “You’ll have to leave as soon as the results are in.”
the Last Supper
Finally, tomorrow is the day when the results of the DNA test will be known. Emily wondered if she really wanted to go on like this, so she decided to make James’ favorite dish. She wanted her husband to remember how he felt when they were in love, even if just a little. She put all the love she could muster into this dinner. However, James never touched it. James left the table and the food just went cold. Will their love ever return?
sleepless night
Eventually, after the meal, Emily went back to the bedroom alone without any good conversation. James lay down on the couch in the living room, where he had been refusing to sleep in the same bed since Emily’s discharge. Hours later, James could not sleep and muttered in agony, “Why did this have to happen? All that comes to mind are memories of happier times, which is why he can’t control his anger at being betrayed. James, like Emily, was on the verge of suffering.
that fateful morning
The fateful morning arrived. Emily climbed into the backseat with the twins, and James watched and silently turned the car key. The car was as quiet as it had been a week before, and only the view from the window drifted by. Suddenly, James opened his mouth, “You know, ……,” he said. Emily looked up and waited for the next words. She was surprised, but looked up and waited for him to say something else. Emily was aware of this, but still could not say anything. How would the results of the test change their fate?
To the examination room.
Sitting at the same distance from each other as they had a week before, they waited in the clinic’s waiting room for their names to be called. The only difference was that James’ mother had joined them. She was waiting for her name to be called, but the only difference was that James’ mother was there. Are you ready for it? Her mother-in-law glared at Emily hatefully. She had rushed in as a witness to avoid complicating matters later. The air in the waiting room was tense as the nurse finally called out their names.
Doctor’s expression and envelope
Upon entering the room, the doctor was waiting for the three of us with a serious look on his face. On the desk was an envelope containing the test results. The mother-in-law stared at Emily, unable to contain her elation at the moment of uncovering her daughter-in-law’s infidelity. James prayed that his own suspicions were wrong. Emily was heartbroken at the sad prospect of coming clean. But things took an unexpected turn. What truth was hidden inside the envelope?
unsealed letter
When the doctor saw that James and the other three were ready, he picked up the envelope. The only sound in the tense silence was the paper knife opening the envelope. As the three watched with bated breath, the doctor pulled a report from the envelope. Let me start with the conclusion,” the doctor’s words rang out heavily. The results of the tests show that there is a 99.99% probability that he is the father. James was confused by the answer he had hoped for. If they are indeed his children, what does this skin color mean?
Shocking results
Wait, then why ……,” the doctor told a distraught James to calm down. Let me ask you something first, Emily. Emily, is there a black person in your family?” Emily nodded and answered that her grandfather was. The doctor nodded in agreement with her answer. ‘This is the miracle of fraternal twins. The odds may be even lower than one in a million,” the doctor began to explain. It was an amazing fact, a mystery of life.
All Causes
The secret behind the birth of white-skinned and dark-skinned twins lay in parthenogenetic inheritance. Certainly, common sense would dictate that a dark-skinned child could not be born to a Caucasian couple. However, due to the influence of Emily’s grandfather’s genes, only one of the fraternal twins inherited dark skin. The strong visual contrast of only one of them having dark skin. This was the rare case of a twin with different fathers that James had once seen on television. These two factors were the decisive factor in his suspicions.
Husband falling down
When James found out everything, he collapsed to his knees on the spot. I’m sorry, Emily,” he said. The DNA test he had ordered to uncover his wife’s infidelity proved his own assumptions and mistakes. Unable to believe his wife’s words, he had assumed one-sidedly that she had been unfaithful and continued to blame her. Now that he knew the folly of his actions, James was overcome with remorse that burned him with guilt. His mother was also devastated by his prejudice and shallowness toward his wife and had no choice but to turn pale.
A heart that steps up to the plate
Emily stepped closer to James as he repeated his words of redemption. Emily knew he was jealous. And this time, it was a twist of fate, a mystery of life that surprised even the doctors. Emily smiled at him, forgiving him for everything, and James was moved to tears. Thank you, thank you…” He hugged his beloved wife with all his strength and vowed to make her happy for the rest of his life.
Happy ending
Six months later. A happy family is seen in a park bathed in gentle light. James holds his glossy, dark-skinned child in his arms, and Emily is next to him, nursing the child’s translucent white skin. Since that day, James has become a changed man, a husband who loves his family more than anyone else. What is even more surprising is the change in his mother-in-law. She has become kinder and gentler, as if possessed, and now dotes equally on her twin grandchildren. Emily’s eyes widened with joy at the sight of her loving husband and children.
