The next morning brought bright sun rays into the lawyer office.
Arthur sat across from his top family law attorney lawyer.
Lily was sitting nearby coloring a pretty picture of flowers.
Attorney Lawson: The papers for emergency custody are ready to sign.
Grandpa Arthur: Good, make sure my son gets no access today.
Attorney Lawson: Given the hotel video footage, the judge agreed easily.
David arrived at the office looking tired and very messy.
He tried to talk to Arthur with teary eyes now.
David: Dad, Vanessa left me, please forgive my terrible mistake!
Grandpa Arthur: You only care because you are broke now, David.
David: I lost my wife and my money in one night!
Grandpa Arthur: You lost your daughter first, and that was worse.
Arthur signed the final legal papers with a black pen.
David watched in silence as his father took legal charge.
Lily walked over and held Arthur's strong warm hand tightly.
Lily: Look Grandpa, I drew a picture of our garden!
Grandpa Arthur: It is the most beautiful thing I ever saw.
Arthur picked up Lily and walked past his weeping son.
They stepped outside into the fresh warm morning sunlight together.
True family love had won over greed and cold cruelty.
Lily knew she was home where she belonged at last.
