Johnson Xia was moved. Blessed with such a daughter, he thought that nothing in the past mattered. The most important thing was to cherish the days to come.
"I know."
"Oh! My friend's father likes fishing. You can go with him when you're free. You know, to get some fresh mountain air. Fishing is good for your health. The air in the city is so filthy. Go outdoors as much as you can. It's better than staying at home.
Johnson nodded as he ate.
Linda was his good daughter. On the other hand, Lisa was a pampered princess. He blamed himself for spoiling her.
Lisa never asked about his health, but always asked for things.
There was a world of difference between Linda and Lisa.
"Oh, have you heard from Lisa?"
Johnson didn't want to ask, but he was worried about Lisa for some reason. Though it turned out that Lisa wasn't his daughter, he still held some affection for her. They had lived together for over ten years.
Linda shook her head, her eyebrows knotted in worry, "No. I don't know why, but she seems to have vanished into thin air. Young Master Mu and I have been looking for her for a long time. It seems that she was hidden away by someone on purpose."
Linda startled at her revelation. Had she really been hidden? Why hadn't she realized that until now?
But who took her away and why?
Linda felt disturbed at the thought.
"It's weird that Lisa has been gone for a couple of months. I doted on her when she was at home. She could've gone through many hardships while wandering outside." Johnson thought to himself.
Depressed, Johnson shook his head in resignation.
"I'll ask Young Master Mu to find her. Don't worry about it, father. Maybe she didn't want to stay here, and moved to another city."
Linda comforted gently.
Nowadays, people wouldn't die of starvation. Besides, Linda guessed that there was more to it. Considering Lisa's personality, it was impossible. Maybe she was plotting something.
Linda always had good instincts.
She could feel something dangerous approaching, but such threats were unpredictable since she was exposed in the light while the enemy was safely hidden in the dark.
That night, Linda slept over at her father's house. She went to school with Bun the next day.
Upon entering the school, Linda ran into John Lee.
"Good morning, Miss Xia! Good morning, Miss Lu." John Lee greeted politely.
"Well. Good morning! How's everything?" Linda said with a smile, patting John's head.
"Fine. Miss Xia, I ranked 6th place in last month's exam. That was good, wasn't it?"
John seemed like a satisfied child eager for Linda's praise.
"Not bad. You have to work harder to be number 1!"
