Marcus stepped closer to Elena and took his baby son into his arms.
Leo giggled softly and rubbed his small nose against his father's cheek.
Marcus held his child tightly and kissed his soft little head.
He turned his gaze toward Elena, who stood respectfully nearby.
Marcus: Elena, I do not know how to thank you today.
Marcus: You saved my innocent son from ongoing hidden suffering.
Elena: I only did what any caring human being would do, sir.
Elena: Little Leo deserves to be safe and loved every single day.
Marcus shook his head gently with deep admiration in his eyes.
Marcus: Most people would have stayed silent to protect their salary.
Marcus: You risked your own livelihood to protect my baby boy.
Marcus walked over to his desk and pulled out a clean pen.
Marcus: As of today, you are no longer just a maid here.
Marcus: I am appointing you as the head nanny of this estate.
Marcus: Your monthly salary will be tripled starting this afternoon.
Elena gasped in total surprise and placed her hand over her mouth.
Elena: Sir, that is far too generous for me to accept!
Marcus: You proved today that you care about my son genuinely.
Marcus: Money cannot buy true honesty and real human kindness.
Elena smiled through warm tears of joy and relief.
She knew her sick mother would now get the best medical care.
Little Leo reached out his small hand and grabbed Elena's fingers.
Elena held the baby's tiny hand with tender affection.
The dark storm over the household had finally passed away completely.
A warm light filled the grand hallway of the beautiful estate home.
Truth and courage had protected an innocent child from further harm.
