It wasn't a problem that the bag was missing, what mattered were the phone and ID inside it.
She borrowed a cell phone from the young nurse.
The nurse was somewhat reluctant but still lent it to her.
She dialed her own cell number, found it was turned off, and then called her mom.
"Mom, I'm at the hospital right now, my bag and cell phone are lost."
"Xiaomai, what happened to you?"
Mom was immediately alarmed at hearing she was at the hospital and asked in distress.
"Well, I might have caught a cold, I have a bit of a fever, it's nothing serious, I'll head back after my IV drip, you don't have to worry or wait for me for dinner," Xiaomai said in an even tone.
Mom reacted anxiously, "How could you get a fever? Aren't you usually as strong as an ox? It's been two years since you last caught a cold, and now you're in the hospital with a fever; it must be serious. Which hospital are you in? Your dad and I will come to see you and take you home."
Mom was panicking.
