Chapter 387: Story

"Are you going home directly? Can we grab a cup of wine? It has been a while since I've drank with you,’ Charles said suddenly as he took a turn towards Grey's house.

Grey reasoned it for a moment. "I'm not really in the mood to go anywhere but we could drink at my house."

Charles brightened. "You could tell me about things I've missed as well because it seems like I've been gone forever."

Grey smiled. 'No problem. I don’t know where to start but I will pick up from anywhere. Is that clear?’

Charles made a rumble of laughter. "Alright. Why don't you start by telling me what is going on with you and Aphrodite? It looked like you two had grown together over a few weeks." He observed. Though, he heard some news about them.

Grey huffed. "Aren't we supposed to be?"

Charles smiled softly. "Of course but you should understand what I'm talking about already."

Grey looked at him and feigned a confused look. "I sincerely don't understand." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Charles grunted inwardly. "I'm talking about something more sensitive. Don't tell me that nothing is really happening between you and Aphrodite. Are you still dating Caramel?"

Grey released a frustrated sign. "Can we not talk about it?"

Charles looked at him in the front mirror, hesitated, before he responded. ’ Sure," he accepted. "You are eventually going to have to say everything or I would ask from Aphrodite.

Grey shook his head softly. "Alright, I will do that but not today."

Charles smiled widely.

"So, are you leaving Jacksonville anytime soon?"

Charles shook his head. "I am here to stay and help you in any way that I can.

Grey smiled at this.

Alfred walked inside the room and waited, Caramel walked inside after a while. There were traces of tears on her cheeks.

It was early the next morning and according to Grey, he was supposed to show Caramel to her mom which was what he was currently doing.

She hesitated as she stared at her mother on the bed. "Mom," she whispered and almost choked on the word. Pain rushed into her and the tears rushed out the more, almost blinding her vision.

Alfred regarded her for a moment. "I will see the doctor now," He announced.

Caramel didn't talk but continued to sob.

Alfred saw her silence as a positive indication and walked out of the room.

Caramel regarded Beatrice for a moment, a smile actually exploded on her face. "I thought you were dead," the tears increased.

"I thought I was never going to see you again."

She touched Beatrice in places that were visible for her to touch, and her heart ached the more.

"Please, wake up," she cried even harder until after some minutes and it felt like she had no tears left in her eyes. "I don't think you can ever forgive me for what I did to Grey," she started in a low and cracked voice. ’ Someone you have always protected. But I've tried to poison him twice," she released a sigh. "Also, I've finally cut off ties with him, even though it was the opposite of what you wanted. But what could I do? I'm just so tired, " she released a sigh just as the door opened from behind her. It was Alfred.

"I will discuss with the men to let you in whenever you come around but I think we need to talk."

Caramel turned to look at him. Her face was all swollen, reddish, and dried up. ‘What is it all about? Is something wrong?"

"Let's talk in the car and well, it's about Grey," he hinted and walked out of the room before she would ask him anymore question.

Caramel followed after a few seconds of deliberating on it. Alfred was speaking with two of the men that were keeping watch of the room when she walked out. Alfred pointed at her severally before he moved away and headed outside. Caramel followed him.

They entered the car together.

"Is something going on with you and Grey?"

Caramel let out a sigh. "He didn't tell you anything?"

"Yes except for the little red flags. I'm sure something is happening between you two. But what can that be? I thought you had regained your memory."

"I have but there's nothing it can do to the matter on ground. I and Grey already broke up."

Alfred regarded her for a moment in shock. "Why?’ He knew that Grey loved her so much and the fact that Caramel didn't tell Richard that Grey was Hercules means she loved him as well. So, what could have gone wrong?

"You don't love him again?" Alfred inquired when Caramel didn't answer his first question.

"I love him so much," she whispered.

"Then what happened?" Realisation suddenly dawned on him. 'Was it Grey that broke up with you?"

Though Grey has been sad and unnecessarily drawn back recently, he didn't doubt the fact that it could be something he has to do.

Caramel looked at him and gently shook her head. "It's nothing like that. I actually broke up with him. It's for the betterment of our lives and there's currently nothing any of US can do about it." She smiled slightly. "We will be fine"

Alfred released a sigh. If Grey didn't tell him about it, it only meant that he was planning on moving forward already or maybe he has. He looked at Caramel. "Would you still like to stay with your mother for today?"

Caramel nodded once. "Yes, please.

"No problem. I have discussed this with them and you will always be let inside the room whenever you come around. So, you can go now if you want to." he finished.

Caramel nodded once. "Thank you," she opened the door and walked back inside the hospital.

Alfred's phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. It was Charles. He hadn't seen Charles actually after the meeting. He suddenly disappeared.

"Hello, Charles. Is everything alright?"

"Sure but I'm just reporting to you what happened at the auction like Grey wanted me to."

Alfred sat up. "Did something happen?"

"Well, yes. Grey was ambushed by Giovanni. Fortunately for US, Grey had it prepared already," he explained. "So, I had to let you know. Who knows what Giovanni is planning next."
