Raymond wanted to hug this daughter of his, but his feet refused to move. Instead, Alicia walked toward him and hugged him. "I am sorry for worrying you this whole time."
"No, no. It's my fault." Raymond shook his head and hugged his daughter tightly while crying. They were wondering which one was the parent and which one was the kid, considering Alicia acted so mature.
"Father… You have grown old."
"You have too, albeit it doesn't reflect on your appearance. Still… You must have experienced many things. I am just glad that I can see you are doing well and smiling like this… I really have a good son-in-law.
Alicia closed her eyes. If she didn't, tears might flow out of her eyes.
The wrenching pain in their heart finally disappeared and the warmth of family embraced them.
