"Xiao Mei ?" Misses Zhi barely sobbered up than before and was calling for her daughters name from the living room. Not really sure where she was but certainly she knows that she was not far from her daughter.

"Xiao Mei Zhi?" Misses Zhi called her daughter again but all she can hear was an intensifying clicking noise from her daughters room. She remembered that Xiao Mei Zhi told her to take a nap because she will prepare their dinner.
Misses Zhi took a glance at the dining table.

A great tremor overtook Xiao Mei Zhi's hands. She was so focused in the game that even the call from her mother that just woke up can not be heard.
[RagingLightSpeed killed Player 1]
As she completely killed the remaining players, she furiously yelled out , "Stop!" Misses Zhi seized effort, she rushed to her daughters room.
[In game screen winners sign: BOOYAH!]
The in-game screen dimmed as her team won. She did not wait for them to speak on the mic or get a direct message on discord, she just close everything that was open on the netbook's screen.
"What happened to your left foot?" Misses Zhi put into her eyes with a look that a concerned mother needed to find out when her daughter did something she did not even know how it happened.
"It is nothing." Xiao Mei Zhi was not willing to disclose information related to what happened to her foot and she was not even looking at her mother.
Misses Zhi raised an single eyebrow, "You are bad at hiding."
"Just leave me alone , Mother. Go eat your dinner. I will eat later." Xiao Mei Zhi refused to think about it. When her mother looked away, she secretly look at her from the opposite side.
"I saw you peeked at me." Xiao Mei Zhi did not want to look at her mother. Misses Zhi usually seemed to be restrained, loving and gentle because her heart was already broken like glass fragments. When they communicated , they sometimes end up not talking with each other for days, the longest was a month. It was hardly unlike her Mother to be concerned. Could it be that it was also part of the reason why she does not fully trust anyone?
"Mother, can you just let me be? For now?" She hastily tapped on the left side of her bed to remove some curved lines from the sheets.
Misses Zhi looked at Xiao Mei Zhi, who suddenly got shock that her mother pulled her up by letting her lean on to its shoulder. "We are going to the hospital." She obviously wanted to speak up but Misses Zhi gazed next to her, with a cold face.
"I do not want to go!" Even though Xiao Mei Zhi protested her mother did her best to pull her out the house.
Misses Zhi ignored her daughters' uneasy screams and proceeded with pushing her limit just to take Xiao Mei Zhi to the nearest hospital.
"Mother, you know we can not spend another yuan! I am not going! Please, just take me back to our house. Please. . . please. . ."
[Zixiu Hospital]
The departing ambulance was wailing its sirens.
Xiao Mei Zhi just kept her head down, staring at the white, glossy hospital floor. It was the people--she does not like crowded places that much.
"We are going this way. Then that way." Her mother was limping with her, but it just made their walking intolerably slow.
Misses Zhi went on with blabbering out the directions that Xiao Mei Zhi did not even care to know. They passed by from a lot of people, but then Misses Zhi stopped.
"Here it is. We should go inside. The doctor is my friend." Xiao Mei Zhi, she seemed somewhat taken aback from what her mother just said. Since when did her mother got a friend? How did they even meet? Her mother lied again?
They entered inside the room of a Podiatrist with a name Doctor Silver Frei plated out in his office door.
A middle aged man from the right side raised up some parts of the curtain with his mouth that slowly drops open as he saw Misses Zhi. His respectable, unusually fine-looking-- bearded but bald.
"Han Caihui Zhi?" He walked towards her mother. "Am I seeing this for real?" He asked again.
"I am going to hand her to you. My daughter." Misses Zhi pulled Xiao Mei Zhi like she was just a toy that limps. He was not that old. He wore a long, white laboratory coat. His triangle jaw and chin were stubbled.
"You have a daughter? I thought you died back when the Alpha--" Misses Zhi faking her coughed. She was trying to stop him from what he was about to say.
"Excuse me? Are you not supposed to take this glass splinter away from my skin?" Xiao Mei Zhi reminded them about the reason why she was there. She slightly look up and stared at the Doctor.
"Right, go sit down on the bed. Let me wash my hands first." Xiao Mei Zhi sat down in the bed, Misses Zhi just watched them.
When the Doctor Frei finish washing his hand on the mini sink, he wiped them on a clean cloth. He looked at Xiao Mei Zhi and reached his left hand out for a handshake, "By the way I am Silver Frei, Doctor Silver Frei."
Xiao Mei Zhi was not convinced to befriend with her mothers artificial friend. Whoever he was, she does not like to be involved to whatever her mother has done.
"I guess that was a No?" He said, "She is smart but a snob. It made me think about the future Alpha."
"Alpha?"
Xiao Mei Zhi has the intention to feel that she has more to learn about her mother. She was delighted that she trust no one, not even her self.
Misses Zhi heavily breaths out some air, "Silver, stop saying weird things to my daughter. I just lend her to you for a bit. Once you are done taking that splinter out then we will go".
