"Daaaad! It's for you!" Peter woke up from his ringtone abruptly, ending his dream. 'This sucks!' was the first thought in his head.

"Who is this?" Peter answered impatiently.

"Peter, my mom is very ill. Please come to the hospital and treat her. NOW!" The anxious voice from the other end of the line immediately sobered Peter up.

"There you are. Go to my mom, now!" Audrey said, greeting Peter immediately at the hospital entrance. Her eyes were red and swollen. It looked like she had been crying.

"What happened?" Peter asked as they were running towards the ward.

"Yesterday, my auntie visited, bringing along a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. She suggested that mom would get treatment from that person, and my mom felt too shy to say no.
