When Chris’ parents return home with their newborn daughter, he refuses to accept her as his sister. His bewildered parents take a DNA test to ease his doubts, but instead, the shocking results drive Chris to seek his own answers.
David and Lauren couldn’t wait to introduce their newborn, Ava, to their 17-year-old son, Chris. They marched inside their home, and Lauren called Chris. He soon appeared in the living room. Lauren eagerly approached with Ava, but he stepped back and raised his hands.
“Please! I don’t want to hold her!” He frowned. “Keep her away!”
David and Lauren exchanged a worried glance. They assumed Chris was overwhelmed or concerned about holding Ava because his congenital limb deformity caused weakness in his left hand. They were wrong. Later, Chris was still being aloof. David confronted him at dinner.
“What’s wrong, Chris?” David grimaced. “You were so excited about Ava! But you haven’t held her once and you never visited your mother in the maternity hospital!”
“She’s not my sister!” Chris snapped, crossing his arms. “At our family check-up last week, Dr. Warren told me we’re not related, Dad! Our blood types are incompatible! How could you lie to me my whole life?!”

Lauren and David had never imagined their son would demand proof of their love and parentage someday. David sat at the table with his hands clasped.
“Alright,” he sighed, shaking his head. “Let’s get a DNA test to ease your doubts.”
Chris and his parents underwent a DNA test the next day. When the results arrived, David and Lauren read the report together. Chris sat across from them, his heart pounding.
He wanted the results to prove him wrong, but his parents’ expressions suggested otherwise.
He snatched the document from David’s grasp. The words “0% match” stared back at him. Chris never cried, but this was too much to bear. David and Lauren insisted there had to be a mix-up, but Chris raced to his room and slammed the door. All he wanted was to find his biological parents and reunite with them.
Late that night, Chris tiptoed into the living room and went through his parents’ documents. He found his birth records, photographed them, and then hurried back upstairs to browse the images. He quickly found the name of the maternity home where he was born and searched it on his laptop.
