Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

There are four people in the lounge.

Allen Rivera and his assistant, along with Melinda Johnson’s parents.

"...Melinda was very obedient since she was young. After she met that boy, she became extremely rebellious. We wanted to change her environment and transfer her to another school, but who would have thought she would run away from home?"

Melinda’s mother hadn’t stopped crying since she came in, choking up as she said, "I was also very angry at the time. I called her and scolded her, saying she could only return home once she came to her senses. But the child was stubborn, and argued with me. She never came back after that! I thought she’d suffer a bit outside and then soften up to us, but who knew... who knew it would turn out like this..."

Allen asked them, "According to you, Melinda ran away from home at the age of sixteen, and you didn’t see her for almost a year?"

Melinda’s father sighed and said, "We talked over the phone a few times, but every call ended in an argument."

Allen took out a photograph and handed it to the couple.

"Do you recognize this person?"

"It’s him!" Mrs. Johnson said excitedly, "This is the man who tricked her into leaving!"
