Jack is a young architectural engineer who has just graduated, and his family lives in a quiet suburb, and their house is not luxurious, but it is warm and comfortable. Jack's father, Mike, is a successful businessman, but the pressure of his job keeps him home seldom and less time at home. Jack's mother, Mary, is a housewife who has a lot of love and care for her family, but lately, the atmosphere of the family has become more and more cold.
As time passed, Jack found his father increasingly distant from his family. Mike is busy with work every day, even on weekends, and the dinner at home has become a silence without words. Both Jack and his mother, Mary, are aware of the change, but are unable to do anything about it.
One night, while Jack was alone in his room thinking about his family, he heard a heavy sigh. Walking out of the room, he saw his mother, Mary, sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking melancholy. Jack walked over and sat down next to his mother and asked softly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mary raised her head, her eyes full of sadness and helplessness: "Jack, your dad has been working overtime recently, and our relationship is getting more and more estranged. I don't know what to do. ”
Jack held his mother's hand tightly, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness. He knew his father's job was important, but he didn't want to see the family break up because of it. So, he decided to find his father and have a good talk.
The next day, Jack found him at his father's company. Mike was busy with a meeting, and when he saw Jack coming, he smiled apologetically, "Son, why are you here?"
Jack was silent for a moment, then said, "Dad, I want to talk to you about family matters." ”
Mike stopped what he was doing and looked at Jack seriously: "Okay, let's go outside and talk." ”
They arrive at a café near the company, where Jack candidly tells his father about his worries and confusion. After Mike listened, he was silent for a while, and then let out a long sigh: "Jack, I know I'm not good enough at home. I will try to change and try to make more time for you and your mom. ”
Jack looked at the sincerity in his father's eyes, and the doubts and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew that his father was also for the family, but he was a little lost under the pressure of work.
Back at home, Jack and Mary wait together for their father's return. When Mike walked through the door, both Jack and Mary smiled with relief. From that day on, Mike would spend some time at home every day to have dinner with his family, chat, and share their lives.
However, the happiness of the family did not last long. One night, while Jack was preparing dinner at home, he received an emergency call. The person on the other end of the line told him that Mike had suddenly fainted in the company and needed to be rushed to the hospital.
Jack and Mary hurried to the hospital, their hearts filled with worry and fear. At the hospital, the doctor told them that Mike had some problems with his body and needed to rest and recuperate.
In front of Mike's bed, Jack held his father's hand and burst into tears: "Dad, you must get through, we still need you." ”
Mike smiled slightly and patted Jack's hand gently: "Son, I'll be fine." ”
After a period of treatment and recuperation, Mike's health gradually improved. After recovering, he cherishes the time he spends with his family even more and no longer makes work a family barrier. Jack and Mary also cherish each other's time even more, and their family relationship becomes more harmonious and warm as a result.
