Nora called Mrs. Hoffman, but perhaps she was busy at the moment, she didn't pick up.
She was about to call again after hanging up the first time when Mrs. Hoffman called. She sounded obviously tired as she said, "Sorry about that, Ms. Smith. I was busy just now, so I wasn't paying attention to the phone."
Nora raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is Jimmy having a relapse?"
"No, it isn't about that."
Mrs. Hoffman said, "Jimmy is doing pretty well. He'll be discharged from the hospital and will be able to go to school soon. It's because something has happened at home."
"Is it about the car racing club?" asked Nora.
Mrs. Hoffman hesitated for a moment before she said, "Have you also heard about it? Sigh, it's really giving us a headache."
Nora was a little taken aback. She asked, "Do you need me to help with anything?"
