“Is she not here?” Richard asked, breaking the silence when Rebecca didn’t answer.

“She is,” Rebecca replied, keeping her doubts to herself. “Come with me.”

Richard didn’t press further.

He didn’t scold her for her attitude, nor did he say anything harsh.

For a moment, he seemed to be the gentle, caring dad she used to know, not the sharp, profit–driven Richard he’d become.

When they got to the rehab center, Amelia had just finished her workout for the day. She could walk a bit on her own now, though not for long.

“Hey,” Amelia called out as she spotted Richard.

Richard kept his emotions contained. “Yeah.”

Amelia said, “Let’s talk in my room.”

Richard replied, “Okay.”

Watching Richard act all timid and well–behaved, Rebecca couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Was this really the same Richard who’d been totally out of his mind not long ago?‘

Once they were inside the hospital room, Richard sat straight in the chair, looking unusually prim and

proper.

“You called me here because of the divorce, right?” he asked.

“Yeah,” Amelia said, nodding.

“Alright,” Richard replied without arguing or hesitation.

“Thanks for taking care of Rebecca all these years and being there for her. Because of you, her childhood and teen days were truly happy,” Amelia said, her tone matter–of–fact.

“That’s just what I was supposed to do,” Richard replied, any lingering negativity gone from his voice. “You helped me create the Jensen Group, brought me success and status–being a father to Rebecca was the least I could do.”

This was something they’d agreed upon before marriage.

We both just took what we needed. There’s no need to say thanks.

“If I’d just listened to you back then and not been so stubborn, the Jensen Group wouldn’t have ended up in such a mess,” Richard said, regret heavy in his voice. He was kicking himself for his arrogance and that useless pride.

He was so freaked out by what people might say–like he’d only made it because of some woman–that he decided to bullhead his way through everything, no matter what.
