A woman shared on Reddit that her husband took a paternity test, revealing he wasn’t the father of their daughter. She insisted she hadn’t cheated, but the results suggested otherwise. After further testing, the couple discovered the shocking truth: neither of them were their daughter’s biological parents.
The woman, 29, and her husband, 31, had been together since college and shared a 5-year-old daughter. After receiving the paternity test results, her husband’s behavior changed, becoming distant and spending more time at work.
Determined to prove her innocence, the woman convinced her husband to take additional tests. The results showed that their daughter wasn’t biologically related to either of them. They sued the hospital where she gave birth and a police investigation ensued.
Eventually, they found their biological daughter in foster care after another family had mistakenly taken her home from the hospital. The couple adopted her and sued the hospital, receiving a $2 million settlement. They explained the situation to their daughter and planned to move to a new town for a fresh start with their two girls.
Uncle left with third-degree burns after running into burning building to save 8-year-old girl
A Washington man is rightfully being hailed a hero after charging into a burning home to save his eight-year-old niece.
Reports detail how 20-year-old Derrick Byrd suffered second and third-degree burns on his face, back, and arms, having rushed into the building when he became aware his niece was trapped.
Speaking to KOMO-TV, he said: “Even though I got burnt, I really didn’t care, though. I’d rather get burnt than her. She’s young. She’s still got a lot of stuff going for her. She’s a good kid.”
The fire, at a home in Aberdeen, Washington is believed to have started while Byrd and six other family members were inside, including his sister, Kayla, and her three children.
Byrd caught his nephews, Junior and Royce, when they jumped from a window on the second floor. His eight-year-old niece Mercedes, however, was too afraid to jump after having watched Kayla fall from the roof.
Without thinking, Byrd dashed back into the house to rescue her. Within moments, he could feel the flames on him.
“I could feel it burning me,” he explained.
“I got her and took my shirt off and put it around her face so she wouldn’t breathe in any smoke and I just carried her out as fast as I could.”
True hero
What’s more, despite suffering injuries, Byrd said he would do it again if he had to.
“I’d run back in there and do it again even if I got burnt worse or died.”
Commenting on all those dubbing him a hero, he simply replied: “I can’t say a hero. I’d just say for my niece and nephews, I wasn’t going to let them die.”
What a genuine hero Derrick Byrd truly is. In moments like that, people’s true colours are shown, and Derrick can certainly be proud of his.
