After staying overnight in the cab, they worked together in the morning... …The relationship between father and son gradually became harmonious, but when he rushed to the hospital to learn that his mother was dead, Mike's unresolved grievance broke out again, leaving Lincoln and rushed back to his grandfather's house.
