After the impromptu press conference, Kimberly approached Carlos' wife, who eyed her cautiously and was surprised beyond measure when Kimberly took her hands.
"I'm genuinely sorry for what you've been through. I'm sure things have not been easy for you with your husband in this condition," she said sincerely. "We'll cover all your husband's medical expenses and make compensation where necessary. I assure you that we're committed to making things right for all our workers."
Carlos's wife nodded appreciatively, and the press coverage shifted from criticism to acknowledging Melvin's unexpected compassion and commitment to change.
As Kimberly left the hospital, with Melvin at her side and Peter following behind them, Melvin kept stealing glances at her as they walked to the car.
