A woman found herself in the middle of a family drama when her husband's estranged father passed away, leaving behind two young half-siblings. The husband, unaware of his father's intentions, was listed as the guardian for the children. After refusing to take on the responsibility, the husband's aunt stepped in and took the kids. However, she still insists that the couple should take them in, leading to a heated confrontation.
