Chapter 8 - A Father's Redemption
William sat beside Ethan on the hallway bench, pulling the young boy close to his chest and weeping openly.
"I'm so sorry, son," William sobbed, kissing Ethan's forehead. "I was so blind... I failed to protect you."
Ethan hugged his father back, his small hands holding tightly onto William's tuxedo jacket. "Aunt Emma found me, Daddy. She told me you would come."
William looked up at Emma, who stood nearby with her yellow cleaning gloves held in her hands, her eyes filled with tears of relief.
"You saved my son's life, Emma," William said, his voice thick with gratitude. "You gave up your life to work as a housekeeper in this house just to protect him... I can never repay what you did."
