Melissa didn't care how smelly Alexis was right now and just flung herself to hug her beloved daughter. All her worries vanished the moment she saw her daughter alive and fine, apart from small bruises which will heal in no time. For a moment, Alexis also forgot about all the troubles that she went through in the Dead Zone when she felt the warmth of her mother.
After hugging her daughter for a good minute, Melissa finally broke the silence, "What happened to you Lexi? I was so worried about you." Once again, tears started to roll down her cheeks and her already sore eyes started to turn red.
Seeing her mother crying, tears started to fill in her eye rims as well. Alexis kept her head down and said, "I'm so sorry for constantly making you worry about me. I don't know why such things keep happening to me."
