After her divorce, Betty focused on raising her teenage son, Josh. Life was already difficult, and things became more complicated when Josh’s father, Derek, introduced his new partner, Sylvia. Josh felt hurt but remained kind, especially when Sylvia later confided that she was pregnant and abandoned by Derek. Worried for her and the unborn child, Josh stayed in touch.
One day, Josh arrived home holding a newborn baby. “Sorry, Mom, I couldn’t leave him,” he said. The child was Sylvia’s, but she was in the hospital with serious health issues, and Derek was nowhere to be found. At first, Betty hesitated to take in the baby, but when Sylvia sadly passed away, she realized Josh had done the right thing. Together, they decided to raise the boy and named him Andrew.
Despite being just sixteen, Josh stepped into his new role with remarkable strength. He balanced school, work, and caring for Andrew, proving his love and dedication. By the time he turned eighteen, he officially adopted his younger brother, with the support of his girlfriend Emma, who became like a mother to Andrew.
Years later, Betty watched her son and Andrew thriving as a true family. When Derek called, hoping to be part of Andrew’s life again, Betty stood firm. She told him it was too late—Andrew already had all the love and family he needed.
