Tam steeled himself and broke the silence.

“I know that all of this has been my fault, and I apologize. My actions have caused a lot of trouble, especially for Erica. We'll take Ethan to Australia and settle there. We won't return to Alorith again. My wife is kind, and she will treat Ethan well. Please don't worry as we'll take good care of him!"

Yanny had mixed feelings as she looked at the wide-eyed little boy, who was holding a toy car. 'No wonder Tam wants to take him home. It isn't just fatherly love and instinct that draws him to Ethan. This boy is so cute that anyone would want to hug him at first sight, ' she thought.

“Australia?” Wesley was surprised. He had assumed that Tam would return to Alorith with Ethan. That way, Rika could still visit him when she missed him.

Tam nodded, "Yes. We know it's far, but you can see the child at any time. If you'd like, we can bring Ethan to visit you when we return home for festivals."

Blair's heart grew increasingly heavy. This was a heartbreaking moment for her, but she had to say goodbye. She glanced at Ethan as she spoke.

“Eth, go to your father."

Ethan looked at Blair, who was holding him in her arms. He didn't understand what she had said because he was too young to know what

‘father’ meant.

Hearing Blair's instructions, Tam stood up cautiously and walked up to her. With outstretched arms, he said, "Son, let me hug you!"

Ethan was more willing to interact with strangers in the daytime than in the evening. So when Tam wanted to hug Ethan, he didn't pull away.

Ten minutes later, Tam and Yanny carried Ethan out of the villa, and the Leonard family followed to bid them farewell.

Once at the car, Tam placed Ethan's luggage in the trunk and helped

Yanny and Ethan get into the car.

He then turned and expressed his gratitude to Wesley and Blair again.

"Thank you for raising Ethan for so long, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard. If there's nothing else, we'll start our journey.”

Wesley nodded. No matter how much he wanted to, he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Tam sat in the car, rolled down the window, and instructed the driver to start.

At this moment, Ethan, who had been quiet, burst into tears. He couldn't understand why Blair and Yvette were outside the car and why they were crying.

“Grandma, Grandma. he called to Blair. Then he stretched his arms to

Blair, wanting her to hug him.

Tears streamed down Blair's cheeks as she rushed forward. But, Wesley stopped her.

Yvette could no longer contain her emotions. Hot tears flowed down her cheeks as she waved goodbye to Ethan.

Chantel held Blair's hand and whispered comforting words to her,

“Auntie, don't cry. We'll see Ethan again."
