"When are you coming?" tanya Vernon lirih.

"Just now, how are you?" tanya Alex.

"I'm fine, just a little fever" ucap Vernon.

Alex pun memerintahkan Edward menelpon Lennox teman sekolah dan juga teman satu club Alex waktu di high school yg kini menjadi dokter di rumah sakit ayahnya.

"I'm home" ucap Alex.

"You're back, how's the real estate?" tanya Frederick yg tengah membaca Ipad di ruang tamu.

"It should be in a month but it was hampered by my graduation, so I'm targeting three months" ucap Alex.

"You're graduating in a month?" tanya Frederick, Alex mengangguk lalu bisa Alex lihat ayah nya itu sedikit bingung dan Alex paham apa yg di pikirkan ayahnya.

"No need to worry, Grandad Karl and Granny Lu will attend my graduation, okay I want to take a shower and go to Vernon's house, because he still has a fever" ucap Alex dia berlari naik ke atas dan masuk ke dalam kamar nya.

Alex tiba di kamar Vernon dan ternyata Lennox sudah ada di sana, dia tengah memeriksa kondisi Vernon.

"He's just tired and has a lot on his mind, I'll prescribe some medicine and buy it at the pharmacy" ucap Lennox.

"Thanks Lennox" ucap Alex.

"You're welcome" ucap Lennox lalu dia pun kembali pulang ke rumah sakit, saat ini hanya mereka berdua yg berada di kamar.

"Can you tell me what's bothering you?" tanya Alex.

"I just can't think straight, twice I failed my case" ucap Vernon.

"Did anything bother you before?" tanya Alex, Vernon langsung terikat Grace yg selalu menghampirinya di pengadilan bahkan di mahkamah agung hal itu membuatnya kesal.

"Grace always came to see me several times, I don't know what she meant, I was annoyed, she made a scene in front of the supreme court building" ucap Vernon.
