Caramel stood up unconsciously. She was shocked. “Are you for real? I mean does that even make any sense? Grey was buried. I still visited his tomb before we left Jacksonville.”

“Yes, that’s why this was so surprising as well. But the news is a fact. I’ve just sent word to someone from Jacksonville and they confirmed it. Grey is alive.”

Caramel felt close to tears. “Seriously? And he’s back in Jacksonville?”

“Yes, he is. I saw him on the news. I’m so happy to see this. It’s a relief that he’s fine.”

“Yes,” Caramel stifled a sob. “I’m so glad about it.”

“Alright, I will talk to you later, Caramel. Or maybe we will talk better when I get to your place later in the night,” Beatrice explained.

“Alright Mom,” Caramel finished and hung up. She collapsed on the floor and tears streamed down her face. She didn’t even know what and how she was supposed to feel.

But she felt relieved at least that Grey wasn’t dead. The sadness in her heart slowly ebbed away.

She sobbed for some minutes on the floor, her heart heavy, yet earning. She held her body tight like a wrapper as she cried harder.

She was so glad, she was so happy.

“Is there something we don’t know? I mean why would they say we shouldn’t pay a penny?” Emma questioned.

Benjamin shrugged slightly. “I don’t know. But they told us that the bill is on the hospital because it’s. A critical issue,” he explained.

“I don’t care anyways. “Avery, my daughter!” Emma sobbed as she walked inside with Robinson.

They’ve just received the news of Avery’s situation and they were devastated.
