The daughter never brought anyone home, not even a man, not even a woman. The mother knew that her daughter had almost no friends and didn't want her friends to see the family's situation, especially now that she was so ill. She didn't want her daughter's friends to see, fearing it might hurt her daughter.
But today, the daughter brought an older man, and the mother became very alert. She wanted to sit up, but Li Minjia quickly walked over and held her mother down, with a hint of a smile on her face, saying, "Mom, this is my... good friend's brother. He's a kidney specialist and heard you have this kind of illness, so he came to have a look. You don't need to get up; he understands!"
"Doctor?" Li Minjia's mother instinctively asked. Li Yifei nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Big Sister, I am a kidney specialist. I heard about your condition, so I came to have a look."
