Alexis, Natalia, and David, the three of them broke off from their hug. Alexis and Natalia were sniffling and wiping their tears of joy.

David offered his hand to Liam and said, "And I assume that you are their close friend. Thank you for putting some sense in me down there. I wasn't really myself." David looked very remorseful because he had almost choked his own daughter thinking she was some enemy.
