You are not a witch, you just tried your best to reveal the truth for the sake of your nephew in order to make his life more simple and happy.
You did nothing wrong, you just played the character of a well wisher in a great way but if they are happy with the truth then let them be happy and don't blame yourself for that.

If I were in your place then I would do the same.
Have a great week.😊✨
