Keira had actually secretly done a DNA test on Howard and Amy after realizing Howard's shady behavior. Back then, though, the results came back showing they were indeed father and daughter.

It wasn't until later, after Ellis's diagnosis with infertility, that Keira understood that people could tamper with medical reports. She eventually found out it was Erin who was behind it. With Erin's influence in the medical world, it wasn't so surprising.

So when she heard today that Amy's biological father was knocking at their door, she couldn't shake the feeling that it might be true and had someone immediately conduct a new DNA test. To her surprise, the results showed that not only was Sean Church not Amy's father, but Howard wasn't either. Amy had always resembled both Keira and her sister, Keera; it was obvious to anyone that Amy was Keera's child. Yet now, it seemed like her biological father's identity had become a mystery.

In that moment, Keira couldn't help but wonder if her sister might not be as innocent or naive as she'd always appeared.

Noticing Keira's conflicted look, Lewis asked, "Are you worried Amy's real father might actually show up?"

Keira nodded, her voice soft. "I'm just concerned that if something comes up in the future, it might endanger my mother if my identity gets exposed."

Lewis gave her a steady look. "There's no use in worrying too far ahead. Let's focus on what's in front of us—one step at a time, right?"

His words lifted a weight from Keira's chest. She'd been so burdened with concerns over her mother's safety that she'd convinced herself she had to maintain this role for her sister. But maybe, as long as she was trying her best, there was no point in stressing about things that hadn't even happened yet.

She nodded, feeling a bit of calm settle over her.
