Ethan walked slowly back up the stairs toward his wife's bright and quiet hospital room.
He pushed the door open gently and saw Victoria sitting quietly by Clara's side holding her hand.
The floor had been completely cleaned by the hospital staff while he was down in security.
Ethan stood near the edge of the bed and looked down at the floor in silence.
Ethan: I watched the entire video tape with the security team downstairs just now.
Victoria looked up at him with calm eyes while waiting for him to finish his sentence.
Ethan: You did not hurt Clara at all, you were only trying to save her.
Victoria: I told you I would never let anything bad happen to this family, Ethan.
Ethan: I am so sorry for blaming you without knowing the real truth first.
He stepped closer and offered his hand to Victoria as a sincere gesture of peace.
Victoria smiled warmly and stood up from her chair to accept his heartfelt apology right away.
Victoria: We all care about Clara and the baby, so I forgive your angry reaction.
Clara smiled happily as she watched her husband and stepmother make peace inside the room.
Clara: I am just glad that everyone is finally on the same page now.
Ethan pulled a chair next to the bed and sat down to hold his wife's hand tightly.
He promised himself that he would never let suspicion tear their family apart ever again.
The afternoon sun filled the room with warm bright light as they sat together peacefully.
Their bond grew stronger after facing the misunderstanding together with honesty and open hearts.
