Boyce promptly asked him about Jayden’s condition, fearing that his condition was getting worse.

Dr. Jason nodded with a grave expression, “Tonight might be the night. His condition is worsening at an alarming rate.”

Dr. Jason replied, “I need some fresh air out here. I will be in soon.”

Boyce nodded and entered the house with Jasmine.
