Samuel glanced at Marianne at this moment.

Marianne understood and spoke to Cecilia in Britharian. "Cecilia, there's something I'd like to give you. Please come with me."

She then brought Cecilia upstairs and took out a gift and an envelope she had prepared beforehand. Inside the envelope was a thick stack of Brithar dollars.

"Cecilia, I'd like to thank you for treating Seline throughout this time. I know that Mr. Jacobson has already paid you your salary. This is a small token of appreciation from our family, so we hope you'll accept it."

Unable to turn down the heartfelt gesture, Cecilia accepted the money and the gift.

Later that night, Marianne had personally cooked a spread of Tessa's favourite dishes.

Seline had a full recovery, and Tessa had been discharged from the hospital. It was a good day for the Yates family.

The family sat around the table together, the atmosphere warm and lively.
