"I was in gym class when I got a call from our neighbor, Mrs. Wu. She said that our mom fainted in front of her convenience store. I told the teacher that I had to leave, called for an ambulance, and came right away."

"Mom's always been fairly healthy. How did this happen?" Huo Mian was sick with worry.

"I am." Huo Mian hurriedly followed the doctor outside.

"You're the patient's daughter, right?" The doctor made a guess based on Huo Mian's age.

Huo Mian nodded.

"Were you aware that the patient suffers from high blood pressure?" questioned the doctor harshly.
