Chapter 44: Chapter Forty Four

"Who had an accident?" asked Mrs. Sullivan again as soon as Alex finished the phone call.

"Adrian... he..." she said in between sobs.

Her cover covered her mouth. "How is his condition? How is he now?"

"Alright, I will." said Mrs. Sullivan. "Is he really in Canada?"

"I don't know... I don't know, but we have to believe in Karl, right?"

"What should we say to his parents?" her mother asked the moment the dial tone was heard.

"Are you sure this isn't a joke?"
