Meanwhile, at Fred's residence, two people were sitting opposite him.
"Look for information about a girl named Lisa Conway, then immediately report to me," said Fred to two of his members.
"Yes, sir," they answered.
The two members immediately left in front of him. However, just before they stepped out of the room, Fred suddenly called out to them and said, "Watch her movements too."
"Yes, sir," they answered.
They immediately went to do their job the next day. One of them was trying to find out about Lisa, while the other was keeping an eye on Dorothy's house.
The next day, Bruce was putting a bag in the car trunk. Not long after, Gwen came with a package containing Dorothy's apple pie. They were both going back to Manhattan that day in the morning.
Then, after stuffing everything into the trunk, Bruce and Gwen said goodbye to Dorothy, Lisa and Sean. The atmosphere was warm and full of emotion. Lisa seemed to cry when Bruce hugged her.
"Dad, why do you have to go back to Manhattan so soon?" Lisa asked.
“I have a lot of work to do. I need to make more money for you and Sean's college fees. Don't be sad, you'll be back in Manhattan in three months too,” Bruce replied.
"Yes, but I still miss you," Lisa answered spoiled.
“Lisa, listen to me. Scott was a good man, but I only got a glimpse of him, you know him so much better. If you feel he is not good and does not make you comfortable in a relationship, I think it would be better for you to break up with him amicably. Then, one more thing, since you and he were rescued, I just remembered how strange it felt to hear all the explanations. Sheriff Webb thought the same thing as me. However, I forgot to tell you this. For me at that time, the most important thing was that you were safe," Bruce said.
"Don't worry Dad, I'll be fine. He's a nice guy and I feel comfortable around him," Lisa replied.
"It's just, I don't know, I feel like there's something in him that I can't explain. Hopefully, my hunch is wrong and you guys are meant to be together," said Bruce.
"Do not worry dear. Lisa is an adult and she knows what is best for her. We can only give her advice. She'll be fine, let's go before noon,” said Gwen as she hugged Lisa and gently stroked her back while saying, “We're going home first. If you need anything or want to tell me something, you can call me anytime.”
Lisa was quite touched by Gwen's kindness and tenderness, and then she replied, “Thank you, Gwen. Please take care. We will miss you.”
After saying goodbye, Bruce and Gwen got into the car and left Dorothy's house. Lisa remained silent and watched Bruce's car until it was out of sight. While walking into the house, Lisa felt that things had become lonely and it felt like something was missing, namely the presence of her father and Gwen who always made the atmosphere cheerful and warm.
In her heart, Lisa said, three more months, yes three more months and she would be right back in Manhattan. But, what about Scott? For a moment she was confused. If she came back to Manhattan, then she would miss Scott. Will she be able to live apart from that man?
While thinking, Lisa closed Dorothy's house door. Inadvertently, her eyes focused on a red sedan parked not far from her grandmother's house. As Lisa recalled, yesterday the car didn't exist, because the house opposite Dorothy's was empty, so how could it be a car belonging to the occupants of the house? Lisa thought. Then whose car is it?
From a distance, Lisa couldn't tell if the car was empty or if there was a driver in it. However, she felt quite strange with the presence of a car she had never seen. However, she kept all of that in her heart.
A few days later, at the Scott residence. Early in the morning, Scott had woken up and immediately walked out of his room, down the stairs to the dining room. From the second floor, he could tell if Katie must be cooking, because the smell of her cooking wafted up to the second floor.
