Calling Parents

Alex made a few more pills before the end of the day. They turned out to be pretty fine, although none of them reached Heaven grade. One did come very close though. 

Afterward, he logged out of the game. 

"I haven't talked with my parents for a while. I should let them know about the money at least," he thought. Until now, he had been scared that they would scold him for not studying properly when they specifically sent him here just to study. 

But now that he was making a lot of money from the game, he didn't fear anything they would say. In fact, he hoped to change their views. 

His mother picked up the phone after only 2 rings. 

"Hello? Alex? How are you doing son?" she asked. 

"I'm fine, Mom. How are you? How is dad?" he asked. 

"Oh, we are perfectly fine, did you eat your dinner?" she asked. 

"No, I was just about to go eat it and I thought I should call you first," Alex said.
