Ivy was sitting beside TP's bed, she gently looked at her daughter sleeping soundly infront of her, while trying so hard to hold back her tears.
Wesley sat at the corner of the room, every stifled sound that he heard from Ivy, he felt like his heart was being crushed and cut into million pieces.
He wanted to embrace her but he knows he had no right to do so. All he can do is be with her and look after her from afar.
Wesley then heard the door opened and Leo entered the room.
He went straight to Ivy's side. Ivy looked up to him and cried.
She let out all her bottled up feelings. The pain and anguish realising that her daughter almost got ra.pe and defiled earlier within their own home.
Leo tightly hugged her and consoled her.
He had no idea what's going on, and he didn't intend to know the details, all he cared about was for Ivy to calm down and comfort his wife.
Seeing Leo comforting Ivy, Wesley felt an intense amount of envy towards Leo.
But he really do respect Ivy's decision, and so he quietly walked out of the room leaving Ivy to her husband's warmth embrace.
As the night grew late, Grandpa Chang was getting tired and had announced that he would be retreating back to his room, the guests all understood and decided to also go home and rest, thus grandpa Chang's birthday party concluded.
Grandpa Chang was so delighted and happy that he didn't bother to check on his granddaughter and head straight to his quarters.
After all, TP had always been avoiding social gatherings and always excused herself for being not feeling well that the old man didn't really mind.
He thought it was just another one of TP's excuse.
Tia was still ignoring Ian, she noticed Charlie was sitting at the bar drinking a bottle of whiskey.
"What are you doing?"
She asked as she snatched the bottle away from Charlie's hand.
She saw an empty bottle of whiskey besides him, and she could only assume that Charlie had consumed it all by himself.
"Hey, sis in law....how you doinnnn~?"
Charlie slurredly greeted her.
"How you doin my ass. What are you doing here?!!! Go look after TP!"
"I can't... I'm scared that she'll be mad at me."
"She wont!! She'll be more lonely if you're not by her side when she wakes up!"
Tia nagged. She knows that TP was scared that Charlie would find out about her "hobby".
she realized that the time that her best friend had feared the most had come.
She reckoned, TP would feel upset and guilty if Charlie wasn't around her once she woke up.
So she had to convince Charlie to be at TP's side no matter what.
"Really?"
"Yes.. Really. Come.. you should go sober up!"
Tia grabbed Charlie and pulled him out of his seat, then a large manly hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
