Chapter 307: Just A Little Treat
It was a little past lunch when Cammy and Greg decided to head out. They wanted to buy something special for Dylan before meeting him and Grace at the airport, just a small gift, something thoughtful to welcome their boy back home.
They had just buckled into the car when Cammy’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and showed it to Greg. It was Atty. Randolf Evans.
Cammy answered with a warm voice and put it on speaker. "Attorney Evans, good afternoon. How’s everything going?"
[Well, first of all, thank you again, Cammy, for making that call to the judge,] Randolf began, his tone surprisingly moved. [She was so touched by your decision that she personally pulled some strings to speed up the release process. I’m sitting beside Duncan right now in the car. He’s officially a free man. It’s done.]
There was a small pause, as if even Randolf was taking in the weight of the moment.
[And it’s all because of your kindness, Cammy. So thank you... Even if it means I lost my chance to drag this case out and earn more money!] he added with a light laugh.
Cammy and Greg both chuckled, the tension in the car easing a little.
"Can I talk to him?" Cammy asked gently, her voice suddenly quieter.
Greg turned his head, a little surprised, but when their eyes met, he gave her a small, supportive nod. No words needed. He trusted her heart.
On the other end of the line, Randolf hesitated, then smiled knowingly. [Uh... yeah, sure.] He handed the phone over.
[Hey... I don’t really know what to say... but... thank you,] Duncan said softly.
Cammy’s heart squeezed at the sound of his voice—familiar, yet distant now. The kind of familiarity that used to feel like home, but no longer did. She didn’t love Duncan in the same way anymore, but there was still love there.
