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
