Yun Shishi and Mu Yazhe were taking a stroll on the beach when she received an overseas call that scared her out of her wits.
"Shishi, I'm your aunt… Where are you now?"
The moment she realized that it was her irritating aunt who had called her, she wanted to hang up without further ado. She felt no goodwill toward the older woman; thus, her tone was especially unwelcoming as she responded, "I'm overseas, having a vacation."
The other woman did not seem to notice the girl's detachment in her anxiety. "The reason for my call is to tell you that your dad is in the hospital right now. Are you able to return as soon as possible? Your uncle and I have tried to come up with some money to pay the medical bills, but… we really couldn't gather enough. The hospital is chasing us to pay, so… can you return soon?"
The young lady was taken aback. "Hospital? Has my father fallen ill?"
