Apple City, the McPherson household.
As a moderately successful businessman, the McPhersons had long entered the middle class, and as a husband and father, McPherson prided himself on improving the life of his wife and daughter through his hard work.
For over a decade, it had been like this, until three months ago...
His daughter went missing!
A trip to Cherry City had resulted in the disappearance of his daughter.
McPherson reported to the police immediately and rushed to Cherry City.
But, to no avail.
Even after three months, there was still no word from his daughter.
This left McPherson in despair.
But he dared not show it.
Because he knew his wife was even more desperate than he was.
At this time, he was her support.
If he also showed despair, then the entire family would be ruined.
So, every day he encouraged his wife.
Only when no one else could see would he reveal his sadness and regret.
Why?
Why couldn't he have accompanied his daughter?
