The phone rang a few times before it was answered. A groggy voice came through, "Dad? What's wrong?"
"Your mother fell! She fell down the steps and her back hurts so much she can't move!" Jiang Guoqiang's voice was frantic and trembling.
Jiang Ming was instantly wide awake. "What? I'm coming home right now!"
After hanging up, Jiang Guoqiang called Jiang Yixia.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up. Jiang Yixia's voice was tinged with anxiety. "Dad? What's wrong?"
She knew her parents wouldn't call her in the middle of the night unless it was something serious.
"Your mother fell. She can't move her back. You need to come home quickly..." Jiang Guoqiang's voice choked up.
Jiang Yixia grew tense. "I'm coming home right now! Dad, don't panic, and don't try to move Mom. I'll be there as soon as I can!"
After hanging up, she scrambled to change her clothes, quickly grabbed a few things, and ran out the door.
