She started running away from the restaurant, away from these people who her husband said claimed to be her family. No this can't be real, her family is Sister Fatima, Father Son, Tommy, Liza and Stephen, no one else, nobody cared for her all these years, nobody looked for her, how can there be such a family all of a sudden, she can't believe what she just heard, it hurts so much just thinking that her family was alive yet they never looked for her.
She reached the lobby of the hotel, she was lost, she did not know what to do, what was she supposed to do in this situation, she was about to run again, when a strong pair of hands held her in place and embraced her in his arms, she looked up and saw her husbands' affectionate gaze, and she can't help but cry out loud and collapse while crying.
"Marga, sweetheart, you need to calm down, listen to me, they are not bad people." Stephen pleaded, seeing how her body was trembling, and she was unable to stand now and was also crying, he felt his heart ache so much. The woman he loved so much, how can he let this happen to her, "I want to go home Stephen, please let's go home, I don't want to stay here any longer." Marga said softly in between sobs. He had to carry his wife to their room due to the shock that she felt, she was rather unsteady, her body felt like it will collapse any time.

In the restaurant, Johanna was still sobbing "Uncle, is it true, is she really Marys' daughter, is she?" she was very happy if it were the truth. "Yes, she is my granddaughter, her name is Margaret." Mr. Lim said without a hitch, his eyes suddenly reddened, how was he supposed to get her granddaughter back now that she found out like this.
"Uncle, we need to get her back, we need to tell her the truth about her identity and that we were looking for her all these years. Uncle, you have to get her back, for Mary, we need her to be reunited with her family." she stifled a cry "We finally found her Uncle, this is the happiest day of my life. My niece is alive and well, and she looks exactly like Mary too." she smiled bitterly but she was clearly overwhelmed with so much affection for her cousin and her daughter.
"I will try to talk to her and her husband, I will not lose her again Johanna." Mr. Lim said with conviction, no matter what, he will let make her accept them, if he needed to beg, he will, whatever it takes, he just wants to finally get his granddaughter back.

Meanwhile in the couples room, "Here Marga, drink this" Stephen said while giving Marga a tall glass of water, seeing his wife still in daze, he did not really how to comfort her, he knows that it was too sudden and perhaps she is still in shock. "Sweetheart talk to me, I did not intend to hide anything from you, the reason I left earlier today was to meet up with your grandfather and we talked about you..." "Don't call him that! I don't have a grandfather, I don't have a mother, I don't have anyone, I was abandoned, nobody wanted me, don't you remember!" she snapped at him, "Are you tired of me Stephen that's why you wanted to push me away to them?" she knows that what she is thinking is irrational but she can't help it, she was fuming inside and the person in front of her was her only target for her anger.
"How can you say that to me, sweetheart, I have loved you ever since, I am always your family no matter who will come, you know that I will never leave no matter what happens." Stephen tried his best to console his wife, he knows she was just angry that's why she said those hurtful words. With those words, Marga started crying hysterically again, the pain of being abandoned was consuming her, she can't even speak because her heart hurt so much like it will be reaped out from her chest.
