Mr.
Colins revealed that Joey’s mother had been taken to the hospital. He thanked him and rushed off. “Please…please be alright, Mom,” Joey whispered in the taxi, fearing the worst.
“MOM!” he exclaimed, approaching Flora’s side after finding her room.
Flora’s eyes fluttered open, and upon recognizing Joey, she enveloped him in a tight embrace.
“JOEY…my boy!” she cried, tears of joy streaming down her face.
He cried again, not wanting to let go. “I’m so…so sorry for not calling or visiting you earlier… I didn’t want to disappoint you,” he confessed, his voice breaking.
Flora brushed aside Joey’s apologies. “Tell me more, Joey.
I want to hear you talk…Oh, your voice! How I missed hearing that voice…and laughter,” she urged, messing with his hair.
Joey shared his journey, from the struggles in the city to becoming a doctor, thanks to Mr. Clark’s scholarship.
He revealed his plans to rebuild the farm and insisted that Flora move in with him in the city until the farmhouse was restored.
Flora agreed without hesitation. After many years of separation, neither wanted to be apart again, even for a second.
