Wilfred could see the desperation in the owner's eyes he took his steps forward towards the restaurant to help the restaurant owner

But then he took his steps back after thinking,that what he can do, those thugs had guns and knife, he wasn't strong enough to fight them to save the owner, Wilfred also have hazel his daughter to take care of. He can't just go and try to be hero and end up getting hurt.

After all if something happened to him, who gonna take care of his daughter, it was his biggest fear, leaving his daughter alone or being alone himself, so instead of helping the owner, he just walk away let the things happen. Without even glancing behind, the guilt inside making his heart heavy but he suppresses it by thinking about his daughter whom he love more than anything.
