After his son’s birth, a man’s doubts about his wife’s fidelity led him to demand a paternity test. When the results falsely showed he wasn’t the father, he divorced her immediately. Her shocked smirk, which he took as arrogance, was actually disbelief and fear.

For three years, he lived convinced he’d done the right thing—until a family friend confronted him and said his wife had been “devastated by the accusation.” The friend revealed that there had been a rare lab error.

Stunned, the man ordered another test, which proved he was the biological father. “All his certainty and pride dissolved into grief” as he realized he had destroyed his marriage and abandoned his son based on mistrust.

Haunted by guilt, he begged his ex-wife for forgiveness, but she had moved on, building a peaceful life for herself and their child. His regret came too late.

Watching his son from afar, he understood the painful truth: “Love cannot exist without trust.” His fear and pride had cost him everything, leaving only the hope that one day he might earn forgiveness.
