Outside, the Patel brothers stood side by side, fists clenched, breathing heavily with red-rimmed eyes. yton was still lying on the ground, his face unscathed, the damage hidden beneath his clothes.


    Tarquin walked over, silently helping him to his feet.


    Sitting on the ground, yton was ovee with emotion, tears streaming down his face,


    "It''s all my fault. I failed to protect Pam. It''s all because I trusted those two scoundrels, Dr. White and Larry, too much! I let Pam suffer for all these years. It''s my fault... all my fault..."


    After beating some sense into yton, the Patel brothers also started ming themselves.


    They regretted not being more vignt, realizing they should have taken their sister for regr check-ups at the hospital!


    Several men in their fifties, all shedding tears together.


    Once the crying had subsided, Tarquin offered somefort,


    "Mrs. Hawkins'' case is unique, with her self-harming behavior and reluctance to speak out, it''s understandable how her plight went unnoticed.


    Thankfully, the worst was avoided, and she didn''t sustain critical injuries. With proper care, she''ll recover soon.


    Plus, with Mr. Watson overseeing, the Murphy family won''t find any loopholes to exploit, and justice will be served for Mrs. Hawkins."


    Hearing this, yton wiped away his tears, his lips trembling as he looked towards Tarquin,


    "I can''t thank you enough, Mr. Bradford. Without your intervention, things wouldn''t have gone so smoothly. We are deeply grateful for your generosity!"


    The Patel brothers added,


    "We''ll always remember the favor you''ve done for us, Mr. Bradford. The Patel family owes you one!"


    Tarquin quickly responded, "It was nothing, especially since they targeted my son, I couldn''t just stand by."


    Standing up for your inws is a given, and such a big favor couldn''t be easily epted.


    As the sun set, the Patel brothers turned to yton,


    "We''ve got to eat, after all this drama, Ms. Thorne and the kids must be starving. How about dining out tonight?"


    With most of the Hawkins family servants gone, and the remaining ones freshly hired, their cooking skills were uncertain.


    "Let''s dine out, I''ll make arrangements."


    Just then, Elysia pushed Pam out,


    "No need to go out, let''s cook at home. I''ll do it."


    yton was momentarily stunned, then quickly refused,


    "That won''t do, Ms. Thorne. You''ve done so much for us; we can''t have you cooking for us! We''ll dine out, I''m arranging it now."


    "It''s not about serving, it''s about enjoying the moment together. Plus, it''s cleaner and healthier at home."


    Elliot chimed in, "Grandpa yton, don''t be shy. My mom doesn''t like eating out; she finds it wasteful and unhygienic, and there''s a better atmosphere at home."


    "Exactly, the bad guys got theireuppance, and no one will bully Pam anymore. This calls for a celebration at home," Evan eximed. Emmett quickly wiped away his tears,


    "My cooking is really good, let me show you and Grandpa tonight."


    Pam, excited, asked Emmett, "You can cook, Emmett?"


    "Yep, my mom loves my cooking. I''ll make something special for you tonight."


    "Great, I can make something tasty too. Irene used to love my chicken when she was little. Let''s cook togetherter?"


    "Sure, we''ll cook with mom!"


    Watching the lively family, yton was moved to tears.


    Their home hadn''t been this lively since they lost their daughter!


    "Alright, we''ll cook at home. We should have ingredients in the kitchen, and we can send someone out to buy anything we''re missing!"


    Elysia turned to Tarquin, "Let''s also bring Elijah and Baby over."


    Tarquin immediately agreed, supporting his wife''s suggestion, "Of course!"


    Hearing Elijah''s name, Charles''s eyes narrowed slightly.
