Liumei answered the phone; it was her real mother calling.
"Liumei, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, why?"
"Your dad, he was diagnosed with something yesterday; he needs surgery this week. Are you coming back?"
"Ah!" Liumei was shocked.
"What is it? Is it serious?"
"A polyp, not serious. Just needs to be removed with high-frequency electrical coagulation. It's not serious, but your dad thinks not to tell you, fearing it will delay your career outside. I thought since your business hasn't opened yet, it's not a big deal. If you come back, your dad will be happy and can focus on recovering, so I called you."
Liumei felt her nose tingle at her mother's cautious tone.
"Say no more, I'm coming back right away."
"If Fugui's work isn't busy, can he also come? If he's busy, then it's fine."
