"Robin, I want to go out for a walk, you don't have to have a driver follow me. My father hasn't returned for a long time, and I'll go out with him." Amy told Robin. She was carrying her bag, wearing an ordinary white T-shirt and jeans as well as white canvas shoes. She looked like a high school student.
"Alright then, are you coming back for dinner?" Robin agreed. Richard asked him to try his best to satisfy any request Amy had. This request was too simple.
"If we come back, I'll call you. If I don't call, then you don't have to prepare dinner for us." Amy said with a smile.
"Oh, okay." Robin left and busied himself.
Amy went out with Stephen.
"Dad, you can't always stay at your son-in-law's house. I've rented a house for you. The requirement of the renting is that you must take care of it and clean it, and nothing else." After leaving, Amy said to Stephen.
"That makes sense. I wanted to rent a house a long time ago. However, you've always been busy, and I was not free. I didn't expect that you had rented it for me. My Amy has grown up, and has been very thoughtful now." Although Richard’s house was spacious and luxurious, Stephen always felt that it was not proper to live there.
"Then I'll bring you over today. Here are the keys." Amy and Stephen went to the rented house.
"Amy, the house you rented is fantastic. But with such good conditions, it must be very expensive, right?" Stephen was very satisfied with the house.
"Dad, don’t worry. The landlord will not come back for the time being. Your son-in-law is rich, so of course I can rent a better house for you. When the time is right, I will buy you one." Amy showed Stephen around the house.
She was planning that in these few years, she could take on more jobs, save some money, and buy a house for her father. She rented this house for several years, which gave her a buffer time.
"Amy, I failed you. I thought I could give you a good life, but now I need you to do it for me." Stephen felt guilty and sorry for Amy.
"Dad, what are you talking about? You raised me up and I am already over 20. So it's time for me to take care of you now." Amy's eyes were filled with tears.
In these twenty years, Stephen was so good to Amy. He was both father and mother, and he also had to develop his own career. He had always been single and did not find a stepmother for Amy. He said that he was afraid that Amy would suffer.
"Good girl." Stephen held his daughter's hand. He had a lot of mixed feelings in his heart, but he couldn't express them to Amy.
"Dad, Richard happens to be away recently. So I'll spend more time with you. I'll stay here as well. We can talk freely now and I always feel uncomfortable in the villa." Amy sat on the rocking chair and looked at the blue sky outside the window. Her heavy heart was finally eased.
*****
"Robin, what did you say? Amy and Stephen are both missing?" More than a month later, Robin finally reached Richard and immediately reported the situation at home to him.
"Yes, Mrs. Carter didn't leave the hospital for long. She said that she was going out with Stephen, but she didn't come back. I've sent someone out to look for her, but they haven't found her."
