The Child Thou Gavest Me (1921)

On the day of her wedding, Norma Huntley wants to tell her husband-to-be, Edward Berkeley, the secret from her past that she's been keeping from him, but her mother warns her against it. During the wedding, the woman who has been caring for Norma's child (whom she believes is dead) sends the child to the Huntley home. When Norma tries to explain matters, Edward tells her that he will adopt the child but seek out and kill the father. Edward invites to their country home Tom Marshall, a friend he suspects of the parentage; during a storm, he finds Tom and Norma together and shoots Tom. Norma informs Edward that she was attacked by an unknown soldier while serving as a nurse in Belgium--and Edward recognizes himself as that very soldier. Edward then tries to kill himself, but Norma insists that he live to rear their child. Tom recovers from his wound, and all are reconciled.
