"Hello," the doctor greeted politely as he walked in. A middle-aged man also followed him from behind – Jay's father and Nora's uncle, Davis Hordes. He had flown over in the Hordes' private jet after hearing from his son, Jay."You're welcome," General Jerrold and Nora responded as soon as they sigh
