Modern Mom Maternity Center.
At the reception desk, a forty-year-old Asian woman sat.
The plump woman was browsing TikTok, and the system recommended fitness videos featuring young, handsome white men with sculpted muscles. She watched and salivated at the sight.
Like.
"Ding-a-ling..." A ringtone sounded.
"Hello, this is Mary." The big sister picked up the handset and spoke in less-than-perfect English, "You've reached the Modern Mom Maternity Center. I am delighted to take your call. How may I assist you?"
Over the phone, a man's voice asked in Chinese, "Can you speak Chinese?"
Very much so, the woman replied with a hint of her hometown accent, "Sir, I can speak both English and Chinese. What do you need?"
"Well, I am from China. My wife is pregnant, and I've heard that the medical and welfare benefits are better in America. I am thinking of having her give birth in California, is that possible?"
