While Brady was having a headache over Rachel, he also came to Steve to solve another sensitive matter: the child Rafe was raising had a mysterious blood relationship.

Steve quickly got the DNA sample from Rafe, but the important step – the analysis – was completely up to Kayla.

Steve begged his wife, hoping she would “break the rules” and do the test unofficially.

Kayla initially refused firmly, reminding her that this action could cause her to lose her reputation and career.

But the love of her family and the pressure from Brady gradually made her waver.

On a rainy night, Kayla quietly walked into the lab. The cold light clearly reflected her tense face.

On the table, the DNA sample lay there, like a bomb that could blow up any relationship if the truth was exposed. Kayla trembled but still got to work, because she understood: sometimes, family is more important than rules. And the upcoming results could shake all of Salem.
