An Xuan had calmed down by now. He did as his sister had instructed and charged into the crowd, his eyes red as he grabbed the middle-aged man's arm.
"Dad, what are you doing here? Are you here to pay for Mom's overdue bill? I'm not capable enough; the money I've earned these last two months isn't enough to cover the arrears. I couldn't get in touch with you, and even though you haven't looked after Mom and me since I was fifteen, and you married a beautiful wife, you have to step up this time. If you don't pay for Mom's overdue fees, she will be kicked out of the hospital."
He displayed an expression of restrained endurance, perfectly portraying a desperate young man clinging to his last hope. The middle-aged man was stunned upon hearing An Xuan call him dad, considering the kid hadn't called him that since he was fifteen. Nevertheless, it was the middle-aged woman who reacted first, grabbing her son and quickly walking over.
