Ricky Lewis originally planned to take Gale Summer back to his hometown for the New Year, but his plan was not approved by the Summer Family. Dominic Summer and Evone Thompson were even unwilling to see him.
On December 28, Gale Summer and Ricky Lewis had planned to return to the hometown. Ricky drove to pick her up but was coldly turned away by Dominic Summer.
Actually, all the Summer family members were at home. Ricky Lewis persistently rang the doorbell outside, but nobody came to open the door. Gale, controlled by her father, dared not open the door herself.
In the end, after repeatedly ringing the doorbell, Ricky switched to calling her mobile phone, which had already been confiscated by her parents and was turned off; thus, Ricky could not contact her.
The persistent Ricky waited until evening, finally having no choice but to turn around and leave, while Gale inside the house could only stand at the window, watching his lonely silhouette as he turned away.
