Sydney was full of questions, yet no new message came

through for a long time.

She got out of bed and was about to go downstairs to tell Julian

when her phone rang again.

Her entire body tensed. When she saw the caller ID, her racing

heart gradually settled. She answered

opportunity?”

There was a short silence on the other end before Jeremiah

asked, puzzled, "What happened? Something serious enough

that you would not even go see your biological parents?"

"There was an issue on my mentor's side." There was nothing to

hide, yet Sydney instinctively kept it vague. "So tomorrow, | really
