Paul was now hearing back from Dr. Webber, which he was grateful for.

"You Paul Drake?"

"Yes. Who is this?"

"Perry Mason's doctor. I was told you wanted to speak with me."

"Yes, I do. It's about him that I wanted to talk with you about."

"Ask away, Mr. Drake. Tell me, how is he doing?"

"Okay, but still confused."

"I understand, but it will be that way for a while longer. He's in no condition to do anything right now."

"I know and he does too. We have a court date coming up in a couple days from now. That was why I reached out to you."

"Is he resting like I wanted him to?"

"No. He's out instead."

"Tell him to get rest. You know it's an order I have for him. I was thinking about what happened when the accident happened."

"What is it, Dr.? Anything to do with the car?"

"Yes."

"Tell me."

"From what I saw when he was taken in, I don't think he should be driving anymore after what happened. It's still dangerous for him to do that."

"I get that, Doc. I'll be sure to pass this over. He has a lawyer who is interested in talking with you."

"All right. Give me his name."

So Paul did.

"Thanks, Mr. Drake. You can pass this message over to Perry about what I said about the car."

"I'm sure he'll understand that."

"What time is court?" the doctor asked.

"Nine o'clock," Paul answered.

"I'll be sure to write it down."

"Thanks, Doc. This was all I wanted with you."

"Glad you were able to update me about Perry. Maybe once he's in a better condition, we'll see what he can do about driving again."

"So that means he still can't see the car, right?"

"Exactly. Feel free to call me whenever you have more questions. Did you get to talk with who ran into his car?"

"Yes, I did. They're a couple with a toddler. They're at the police station," Paul answered.

"Thanks, Paul. I appreciate the update. Then we can try again after the court date."

"We will. It might even be before?"

"We'll keep in touch, Doc."

"We sure will."

There was no need to ask Paul about family members Perry might have that are still living, which is none of his business at the moment.

While driving back to the office, Paul had an idea that popped in mind. Maybe Perry or Della could answer that for him.

"That's a good question to ask," Paul said to himself as he turned the radio on with a favorite station for music.

Good thing he didn't talk about Perry's family with the doctor, which he was grateful for. He doesn't hear much about the family anyway.

Instead of driving to the office and update Della, Paul ended up driving to Perry's house. That was a question he didn't need from Della.

When he parked in the driveway, Paul got out and locked the door. He remembered Perry was at home and not the office. Home was the best place for Perry right now.

Paul rang the doorbell. He was hoping he slept for a while today instead of going out and work on the case which he had been lately.

Paul was lucky - Perry answered the door.

"Hi, Paul. What are you doing here?"

Perry looked like he was asleep the whole time like Paul thought.

"Came to talk with you. Mind if I come in?"

"Yes. Do you need Burger over to hear this?"

"No. He can wait."

"What was so important that you came over to see me?"

"Your family."

"What about them?"

Perry knew where Paul was getting at - contact information for his family. The only member left was his mother, Ada. They had not spoken to each other in a long time, but he could still answer the question.

Perry closed the door behind him and Paul.

"Want to sit down?"

"Thanks, Perry. I just came back from seeing your doctor."

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes. This is why I came here besides asking about your family."

"They don't need to be involved. I can take care of myself."

"Dr. Webber doesn't think so because of the condition you're in right now. This is why I came over besides asking about your family."

"My mother is the only family member I have left. You don't need to speak with her. We haven't spoken in a long time."

"Why's that?" Paul asked, still wanting the information from him.

"Don't you remember that case she was involved in?"

"What one?"

"I accused her of murdering my father," Perry said, thinking of the latest case they finished.

He remembered the contest that Paul had signed up for a while back, and so that's why he bought it up.

"Correction, Paul. I didn't accuse her for murdering my father. Remember that contest you advertised for television?"

"Oh, yeah. Now I remember. Those kids thought that she wasn't telling the truth when she was actually telling the truth the whole time."

"Ever since then, we haven't spoken. I knew she still hasn't forgiven me."

"It wouldn't hurt to try, Perry. Maybe she will want to help out while you're out of the job for a while."

"You don't need her information, Paul. I can reach out to her. She probably would hang up on me."

"You don't know that, Perry."

"Yes, I do. Just leave her out for a while."

This case was about a month or two ago, and he still hasn't forgotten about what happened.

"Just think about it and see when the right time is to reach out to your mother, Perry. She will have to forgive you sooner rather than later."

"You're right, Paul. I just want her to reach out and apologize, but I didn't do anything, but believed her. She hasn't spoken to me since. Maybe I can try reaching out."

"Good luck, Perry. I think the doctor wants someone to stay with you for a while."

"You think so?"

Paul nodded.

"Yes. So do I."

"We'll see, Paul. I just can't live like this anymore without her reaching out. I guess I will have to do that."

"You might as well mention her what happened and maybe she could change her mind about what happened a couple months ago," Paul replied.

"I know."

"We'll just keep praying about it, Perry. If it does work, then you both can come up with something to stay in contact without saying anything."

"Let's wait and see."
