In this story, a woman suspects her husband, James, of having an affair with the nanny, Tessa, after noticing his early returns home and secretive behavior. These suspicions grow, especially after her son, Oliver—who cannot speak due to a rare condition—shows her his palm with the words “Daddy Lies” written on it, pointing toward James’s briefcase.
After gathering courage, she opens the briefcase, expecting evidence of an affair, but instead finds hospital documents revealing that James has a serious illness. He’s been concealing his condition, hoping to protect his family from the pain. Tessa had discovered his secret and supported him without informing his wife.
Heartbroken but relieved by the truth, the woman stands by James as he begins treatment, with Tessa supporting the family. This difficult journey strengthens their relationship, and they find new ways to communicate and reconnect. Oliver, sensing the restored harmony, begins expressing himself more, giving his parents renewed hope and a deeper bond through the ordeal.
