After blurting it out the first time, Chi Lian repeated her words once more. "She is not your mother mum, I had a DNA test done between the two of you months ago and it was negative. Grandmother is not your biological mother, okay."
Her words like the exploding of a grenade upon an unsuspecting group of people. Her mother's sobs stopped and instead, a hysterical laughter replaced them.
On the faces of the rest of the family was shock and then worry for Mama Chi who was reacting in a way none of them expected. Why was she laughing?
"Mu...mum, are yu okay?" Chi Zimo quickly approached his mother and asked her nervously.
"I am okay." Mama Chi said between laughter. She sat down and continued to laugh as if the situation was comedic.
Everyone gathered closer around Mama Chi extremely worried about her and trying to figure out ways to ease her pain or understand her reaction.
