"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 replace 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."

'I called you but you turned off your phone. What do you wanna do?' Robin didn't dare to say this and only complained in his heart.

"Alright, I understand." Richard hung up the phone and asked someone to book a plane ticket to return home.

"Richard, what happened?" Allison lay on the hospital bed and looked at Richard's anxious face. Of course, she knew what had happened.

"Allison, our contract is over. The operation is finished. My obligation is fulfilled. I hope you will remember what you said." Richard wore a long face.

"Richard, how can you speak to a patient like this? Isn't my leg hurt because of you?" Allison started crying.

Her tears irritated Richard even more. He didn't know where Amy had gone. She must be so angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. For the sake of ending the relation with Allison once for all, he had to do this.

"Allison, look, I've been here with you for two months. You told me to turn off my phone and spend these two months with you. And I've done it. I hope you won't break your promise. There are only two days before two months. I have to leave." Richard felt that he couldn't stay any longer.

"You said that there were still two days left. At that time, we agreed that it would be the whole two months. You can't leave one minute earlier." Allison was sobbing again, and Richard was gonna get crazy upor hearing it. He really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

'Fine, there are still two days left. Just wait.' Richard called Robin and said that he would go back in two days and asked him to continue looking for Amy.

Robin had no other choice. He managed to reach Richard with great difficulty, but Richard wouldn't come back now. He had searched all the places where he thought Amy would go, including Hannah's home. As a result, Hannah asked why he came to her house, and in the end, he could only say that Amy was missing.

While Robin was looking for Amy throughout R City, he felt as if she had disappeared from the world without a trace.

But in fact, Amy went out once a week. She told Stephen that she was going home to take a look. Then, she would return on time in the afternoon. Stephen did not doubt her. He thought that his daughter wanted to spend more time with him. Since her husband hadn't come back, he enjoyed himself quite a lot.

Hannah did not come to replace Amy because Amy left a message to her in advance, telling her not to look for her or ask where she had gone. She was fine and there was no need to worry about her. Although Hannah did not go to replace Amy, she was still a little worried. She did not know where Amy had gone, so she went to Andy.

Andy looked quite calm.

"Amy isn't a child. She must have her reasons for doing this. She has just miscarried, but her husband has gone out with another woman. What would you do if you were her?" Andy placed the documents on the table and asked Hannah.

"Me? I might make the same choice. Since he doesn't love her anymore, why should they still be together? It's just a waste of time!" Hannah thought for a moment and understood Amy's choice.

"So, Richard doesn't love Amy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done this. Amy wants to leave to relax herself, so we don't need to disturb her. Hannah, stay home. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
