Mon's mother extended her hand to Grandmother, saying, "Thank you for accepting Mon back for Sam. It means a lot to us."
Grandmother grasped Mon's mother's hand, her eyes sincere. "We are now one family," she said gently. "I am the cause of Mon and Sam's suffering, and I want to make amends. Thank you for raising Mon so well. She is a remarkable young woman."
Neung, standing beside Grandmother, nodded in agreement. "I have nothing but admiration for Mon," he said earnestly. "She respected Grandmother and Sam's decisions, even when it hurt her deeply. Her strength and loyalty are truly commendable."
Mon's father smiled warmly, appreciating Neung's words. "We are proud of Mon," he said, looking at Grandmother. "And we are grateful to you for giving Sam and Mon the chance to build a future together."
Grandmother, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, replied, "This is a new beginning for all of us. Let's move forward together, with love and support for Sam and Mon."

Sam smiled, touched by the words. "Thank you. It means a lot to hear that."
Grandmother, with a serious expression, took a deep breath. "I want to apologize for everything that happened in the past," she said, her voice steady but filled with regret. "I'm truly sorry for the pain and difficulties I caused."
She then turned to Neung, her eyes softening. "Neung, I owe you an apology too. I know my decisions affected you as well, and I am deeply sorry."
Neung nodded, his face reflecting understanding. "Thank you, Grandmother. Your apology means a lot. Let's move forward from here."
Mon, standing beside Sam, felt a swell of gratitude. "Thank you, everyone, for coming together. This means everything to us."
The atmosphere in the dining room was filled with a sense of renewal and hope. As they began to eat, the conversation flowed easily, and the past seemed to dissolve into the warmth of the present moment. Mon and Sam exchanged a look of shared relief and happiness, knowing they were surrounded by love and support.
