Xu Hemiao watched her mother call Qin Simin several times, but no one answered.
She said coldly, "Qin Simin isn't going to answer your calls, so stop trying. She heard the doctor say you’ll likely have limited mobility from now on, or even end up paralyzed if it gets worse. She’s afraid you’ll expect her to wait on you hand and foot, so she’s run off."
Mother Xu replied, "You’re talking nonsense! Simin isn’t the kind of person you describe. She’s kind-hearted and has been very good to me. She must just be tied up with something these past few days and hasn’t been able to come by."
