"Mother, I'm not a child. With your strength, you can stay awake for half a year without collapsing!" Shi Min said, his anger barely contained. His eyes blazed with frustration as he paced the room. "Mom, did you visit Paps?"
Ling Li's eyes darted away, guilt written all over her face. "Oh, that… yeah…" she admitted guiltily, her voice barely above a whisper.
"And you should know you are pregnant! Flying is the last thing you should have done!" Shi Min scolded his mother, his voice rising with each word. He clenched his fists, trying to keep his emotions in check.
"Who said I'm pregnant?!" Ling Li retorted, disbelief and irritation evident in her voice. Her eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms defensively.
Shi Min waved the ultrasound report he printed in front of her mother.
"Mom, you've been neglecting yourself. You should have realized this on your own." Shi Min's voice softened, a hint of concern creeping in.
