After having breakfast together, the trio was about to leave home when Zaylynn showed up with her parents, who had personally brought her there to express her gratitude.

“Thank you, Susan, Ian, and Timothy. I'm beyond grateful for everything you've done for me. If it weren't for you guys, I probably would've been...”

“We owe you big time! You're the Neal family's saviors. As Zaylynn's parents, we thank you!”

Both Feynman and his wife, Clara, bowed and thanked them profusely with tears in their eyes.

The two young men were at a loss, given that they had never dealt with such a situation before. Thus, it was Susan who spoke up and quickly told them to lift their heads.

“Don't say that, Mr. and Mrs. Neal! Zaylynn is our friend. It's only natural that we help her in times of trouble.”

“She's right. You don't have to thank us. Besides, there's no way Piggy here could've actually killed anyone!” Timothy blurted.

Silence washed over the entire apartment as a scarlet-faced Zaylynn glared at the young man who had just addressed her in such a way.

“Hey, Timothy... What did you just call me?”

“S-Sorry, my bad... Hey, don't come over. I didn't mean it...”

A squabble soon ensued between the two, and Timothy ended up being chased into his own room and hiding in there.

Susan was deeply embarrassed by what had just happened.

She wanted to chastise her brother for his lack of manners and apologize to Zaylynn's parents.

But unbeknown to her, Feynman and Clara seemed unusually pleased after exchanging glances with one another.
