The woman's home was at the very end of this alley, and as Limin supported her walking inside, she observed the few neighboring homes they passed and found that all were locked, except for one that wasn't locked but was deathly silent. It showed no signs of habitation.
Limin couldn't help feeling perplexed. Could it be that none of the five or six households in this entire alleyway were inhabited? Before she had a chance to ask, they had already arrived at the woman's home.
"Sister, come in quickly, my place isn't much to look at, so please don't mind it!"
The door to the home was unlocked, and as the woman pushed it open, she called out, "Son! Mom's back! I've got Silver now, we can go to the doctor!"
Seeing her rush to speak to her son about seeing a doctor as soon as she entered, Limin's heart settled a bit; it seemed her son was indeed sick.
