Over the course of the last five years, Jeff had poured both money and resources into locating their missing daughter, presumed dead, but unfortunately, he had nothing to show for it in the end.
Just when he thought things couldn't get any worse, his beloved daughter unexpectedly showed up at their house as if she had just gone for a casual stroll.
This unexpected turn of events made Jeff suspicious of the girl's true identity.
As they awaited the DNA test results, Jeff found himself in a difficult position, having to make a sensitive request that Ann thought was utterly ridiculous.
This led to a heated disagreement between them.
Ann graciously declined Jeff's request, expressing her concern that discussing the matter might negatively impact her beloved daughter.
To their surprise, Ava quickly consented when the subject was broached. Her primary motivation for appearing unexpectedly was her openness about her identity.
