How to return an updated data after updating in Laravel Model?

I have a model Driver which have columns: name, branch, status_id, etc..Updating is actually fine and working, my problem is how can I return the updated one?

Here's what I tried so far, but it returns a boolean, resulting of returning an error in my console:

The Response content must be a string or object implementing __toString(), "boolean" given.

public function updateStatus(Driver $driver)
{
    return $driver->update($this->validateStatus());
}

public function validateStatus()
{
    return $this->validate(request(), [
        'status_id' => 'required|min:1|max:3'
    ]);
}

I expect it should return the all the columns of a driver.

I've been to this link but it doesn't helped. Someone knows how to do this?
