Due to Werner’s refusal to cooperate , the source of the infection remained untraceable .
Cathy hadn’t suspected anything at first , but Werner’s uncooperative attitude planted seeds of doubt in her mind .
She couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination , but Cathy started feeling itchy , with tiny red bumps breaking out on her arms . The result of her medical checkup pushed her over the edge . She collapsed in tears at home , utterly overwhelmed .
Cheryl feared something terrible had happened to her family and rushed home in a panic .
Cathy clung to Cheryl and cried , “ Werner betrayed me . He gave me a venereal disease . ”
Cheryl said , “ That’s impossible , Mom . Dad isn’t that kind of person . You know him better than anyone . ”
“ I used to know him so well , but now , I just don’t understand him anymore . ” As Cathy spoke , she broke down into another fit of crying .
Cathy decided to go to the hospital for a thorough examination , and Cheryl accompanied her for support .
They went to Jennifer’s hospital . Jennifer said , “ Luckily , it’s not condyloma acuminata . The little red spots on your skin are just an allergic reaction , and there’s some inflammation . But the HPV virus was most likely transmitted by your partner . ”
Cathy asked Jennifer , “ Are you saying Werner had an affair ? ”
Jennifer nodded . “ Your previous test results were all clear , but now there’s a sudden issue . This suggests a recent infection , and he is likely the source .
Suddenly , a resounding slap landed right on Jennifer’s face .
Cheryl’s hands trembled with rage . She snapped , “ What’s that supposed to mean ? My dad would never do that . You’re accusing him of cheating . Do you have any proof ? ”
Jennifer retorted coldly , “ It’s just an educated guess . If he has nothing to hide , why did he refuse testing ? ”
Cheryl said , “ He’s in his fifties . He has his pride . So what if he didn’t want to get a check – up ? Without any proof , how dare you accuse him of cheating on my mom ? By your logic , can I accuse you of cheating on Donald ? ”
Jennifer’s face went pale with rage . “ What did you just say ? How could I ever betray Donald ? ”
Cheryl retorted , “ Then how could you accuse my
dad ? ”
Jennifer said , “ Based on your mother’s test results , if your father wasn’t carrying the virus , there’s simply no way she could have contracted two high – risk strains . ”
Cheryl snapped , “ So that proves it came from my dad ? They have been married for over twenty years . Donald and I know exactly what kind of people they are . And you , a newlywed daughter – in – law , really think you know them better than us ? ”
Jennifer clenched her fists . “ You- ”
Suddenly , a familiar voice rang out from outside the door .
Cheryl turned around and saw Donald . She instantly rushed to his side with grievance.
Cheryl clung to Donald’s arm and sobbed , “ Donald , your wife is nothing but a spoiler . She insisted that Dad cheated . She just wants to tear our family apart .”
Cheryl cried very sadly , and Donald tried to comfort her .
Jennifer watched the scene unfold , took a deep breath , and remained silent .

After Cheryl and Cathy had briefly left , Jennifer immediately complained to Donald , “ Cheryl slapped me just now . She has absolutely no manners
Unlike before , Donald didn’t immediately show concern for Jennifer . Instead , he looked very exhausted .
Donald asked , “ Didn’t you promise to stay out of this ? Why are you getting involved again ? ”
Jennifer protested , “ It was Cheryl who started this mess . She said my diagnosis was wrong , and she slapped me . ”
Donald fell silent for a few seconds , and then he said , “ Dad is not the type to do that . He has always been faithful to Mom , and he has been good to both Cheryl and me . At their age , what else could they possibly do ? ”
