The Back To 2012
9. Level of Care for Parents



After Spring returned home, he rushed to the kitchen to make the soup he had promised Winter. Spring was so excited when he cooked Winter a meal, which he had never done before. Because in his previous teenage life, Spring was not good at cooking even once he touched the cooking utensils in the kitchen. But for the life of this second teenager, Spring has a lot of experience about cooking. Because after Spring got into university, Spring lived alone without parents. Where, eating for everyday should be cooked alone.


Even though Spring is very excited at the moment, but in his heart and mind tucked away the worries of Winter. How he was not worried, Spring saw clearly the face of Winter who was very pale like a sick person in general. Although Winter said it was fine, Spring was very confident that his best friend's health was not okay.


Spring knew Winter's attitude was not willing to trouble people, but according to Spring, the way Winter did it was wrong. Because he had to endure anything alone, even though people had offered to help. Because Winter's attitude is what makes Spring can't stop worrying about her. Fortunately, he could control his mind, otherwise the soup he was making might fall apart.


After making the soup, Spring rushed to take a bath and prepared to return to meet Winter at the villa. However, just as Spring was about to leave, his father suddenly called out to him at the dinner table.


"Spring, where else are you going. After a night of not coming home, you'll be gone again" James hurled angrily.


"Yes, the new mom will make you breakfast. But you're going to leave again, isn't there about an hour to go to school" Tessa said.


"It's precisely because in an hour I have to rush to see Winter before going to school."


James gave a rough sigh. "Why Winter is all you think about. Your stomach should be thought of as well. Then, last night, whatever you did with Winter. And where are you staying?"


"I was just accompanying Winter in Uncle Theo's villa. Because I can't let Winter in there alone."


"Both?" briefly asked James with a sharp look.


The sharp gaze that James made was able to make his daughter agitated half to death. Very restless and thrilling, as well as the atmosphere he felt also looked strange. Strange for Spring to experience the name given questions like a teenage girl who has done naughty outside. It is very natural for parents to ask where and what their children are doing if the child does not return home overnight. Because at this time Spring is not Spring who is 27 years old, but a 16-year-old teenager who is one month old again will turn 17 years old.


If Spring was 27 years old, James probably wouldn't have had a problem if his daughter hadn't come home. Because it is a culture in America, children after crossing the age limit of 18 years, parents will free their children. But now Spring goes back to 10 years ago, which is where Spring was still under the watchful eye of his parents. Spring is James' only daughter. As a father, James had to pay extra attention to his only daughter. Because the association in America is a very free association, it would be very bad if the Spring fell towards the association.


Although Spring did not want to make his father angry, but he could not lie if he was staying together in the villa owned by the Collin family.


Slowly he took a deep breath, then quickly answered James' question without hesitation. "Yes, just the two."


"You and Winter are no longer children in elementary school. You dare to stay with a man. What if something happens to you."


"But until now I'm still fine, don't we already know with his attitude Winter. Winter's a kid who can't cross the line."


Even though James' upbringing was very conservative, it was the best thing he did to protect Spring from bad guys. Yes, even though Winter is a child who was already close to the Scott family, James and his wife already know with the attitude of Winter who has a good attitude.


But at his current age, Winter is a teenage man, who needs to be called supervision. Because for James, it could have been Winter like a naughty teenager in general.


Although James's reprimand was a form of affection and concern for his daughter, Spring could not justify what his father said. And Spring can't apologize after he hasn't been home all night. Because her father's view of Winter was so wrong.


"Winter isn't what you think, if Winter's father thinks he's the same as any other bad guy, it's wrong. Because Winter was a good boy even though he was born into a messy family." Spring then grabbed the bag containing the soup on the table. "It looks like I have to get going before this soup gets cold."


Spring's actions may be disrespectful, but he can't linger on Winter waiting for him. Moreover, Winter is sick, he needs to rush back to Winter. And don't forget, before returning to Winter at the villa, Spring first went to Winter's house to get her clothes and school bags. As Spring pressed the bell button, Olivia Collin, her mother, came to Spring in front of her house.


"Spring, it's a good thing you came. Do you know where Winter is now."


"Don't Alex tell aunty about Winter's whereabouts?" ask Spring wonder.


"He was very angry with me and his father. Therefore, he refused to tell her where his sister was going."


"Oh, Winter's at the villa now. I just happened to come here to bring her clothes and school bag."


"Wait a minute." Olivia moved her feet in a hurry. Then came back with a bag and a bag containing the clothes of his youngest son. "I can't go to Winter right now, because I have to get to work immediately, can you tell Winter, to go home after school."


Spring grabbed the bag and bag that Olivia stuck out. "Okay, I'll tell you."


Olivia took the wallet in her bag, and then took the two notes in her wallet. "I didn't have time to make Winter breakfast, so can you accompany Winter to breakfast outside."


"You don't have to worry, because I made him breakfast. So you better put the money back in."


Because Spring refused the money, Olivia had to put the two notes into the bag of Winter clothes. "Then just take the money, and buy something with Winter." Then hurried to step his foot.


Olivia's behavior to make Spring sigh upset. He was upset, because he could not understand if Olivia preferred to attach importance to his work compared to having to apologize and persuade Winter to go home. But now Winter is not okay. Not because of his angry or sad state after watching his parents fight last night, but because Winter is sick at this time. Yes, although it may be that Winter's pain is just a common pain. But what Spring wants, at least Olivia can meet Winter under any circumstances. But how else, Olivia will be concerned about her work compared to her children, even though Spring persuaded her.
