How had he come to be here? And more importantly, who were the people who had saved him from the river and brought him to this place?Before he could voice his questions, the door to the room swung open, and the man and woman he had seen earlier rushed inside, their faces etched with concern."Jackson," the man exclaimed, his voice filled with relief as he approached the bed.
