Once Hansen was settled, Andre headed out.

Mia was waiting for him at the door. "Is Hansen asleep?"

Andre nodded, put his arm around Mia's shoulder and led her back to the bedroom.

Hansen's life was taken care of by the butler, and Naomi was by Bruce's side.

Before Andre and Mia left, they took a look at Leo, who was alone.

"Andre, I'm not drunk. I know my limits," Leo responded to Andre's rare show of concern.

On the day Leo came of age, Andre took him to a bar, put a bottle of hard liquor on the table, and had him drink it glass by glass.

Until he was almost drunk, Andre told him to remember how it felt and not to drink anymore whenever he felt like that.

Andre was actually very concerned about Leo's future. He had told his nephew, who had just come of age, never to get drunk in public.

Leo also understood Andre's intentions and had never gotten drunk in public.

Molly stayed at the Byrne family for a day. On the first day of school, she returned to the Cedillo family.

This time, she was sent back by the Byrne family.

Back at the Cedillo family, Molly told her family, "My grandpa's health isn't good. The doctor said he needs surgery. My grandma and dad are taking turns looking after him. My mom's company is also getting busy as the end of the year approaches. And with the holidays coming up, my brother says there'll be a lot of crime, like pickpockets at train stations, people selling stolen phones, and people trafficking women and children. There are also home invasions. My brother is busy at the police station and can't look after me. They don't feel comfortable leaving me alone at home, so they sent me back."

Hansen thought the Byrne family's actions were considerate.

"Now that you're back, don't wander around aimlessly and behave yourself at home. When Christmas comes, if you want to go back, you can stay at the Byrne family's for a while. When is Grandpa Elmer having his surgery? If we have time, we'll all go to the hospital to see Grandpa Elmer."

Molly nodded.

Mia occupied a large sofa all to herself. When she got home from school, she put her books on the table and lay on the sofa with a pillow and fell asleep.

Hansen wanted to prank Mia, so he shouted at her, "Run! The house is on fire!" hoping to scare her.
