The old man's hand trembled with anger: "You... Fine, I'm not going to argue with you. As soon as Ming Mei's health is substantially restored, rush home. The hospital is a place that could expose you at any time."
"Okay, got it."
Kang Chen hung up the phone. Ming Mei asked him, "Was that a call from Dad?"
Kang Chen nodded: "Yeah... He was checking on your health. If you've recovered enough, he wants you to move back home, since the hospital isn't a great place to live."
Ming Mei wailed: "Oh, I don't want to stay in the hospital either, it's so boring every day. I'm not allowed to go anywhere, and because of you, I'm not even allowed to watch TV. Once I get home, I'll tell dad on you."
Kang Chen grabbed Ming Mei's hand and lightly bit it: "Soon, the doctor said you're recovering very quickly. We'll be heading home in a few days, and then you can tell on me however you want."
No matter the chaos outside, Ming Mei remains entirely oblivious.
