Chapter 204 - Cheers (2/2)

Madam Li suddenly stood up. ”What are you all standing there for! Go call the doctor!”

”Ah yes, Madam!” Several workers rushed out to go call Doctor Tye.

There have been a few times where Kris slipped and the workers would immediately have Doctor Tye on speed dial. But somehow today, the dinner scene was very touching that they had forgotten about the condition of their young master.

Madam Li looked at Kris, semi panicking. ”Are you okay? Do you need a chair? You! Bring him a chair, can't you see he is sick!”

”Ma..” Kris spoke but Madam Li was breathing really hard.

She did not like it when she saw Kris in pain. ”Why did you do that? I am old but not too old to choke!”

”MA!” Kris shouted when one of the workers dragged a chair to Kris. Madam Li finally looked at him. ”I. Am. Fine.”

”How can you be fine! You're having trouble breathing!”

”You're having trouble breathing...not me.”

”No, I am not. You--” She finally paused and gave Kris a good look.

He was right, he was perfectly fine. He was standing there, he was breathing normally and there was no tremors or sudden rage from him. She stopped her heavy breathing. She turned her head sideways several times to give Kris a rundown look.

”Impossible...” Madam Li was still very much in shock.

Kris was surprised too. He raised his hand up to his mother's face but didn't touch her. Madam Li looked at him... her eyes got teary. She slowly held up her hand too and gently grabbed his. It was the longest 10 seconds of their lives. Madam Li was waiting to see if Kris would have a reaction but he did not.

Madam Li grabbed his hand with both of hers and brought it to her cheeks. She burst into happy tears.

Kris was still controlling his breathing... big breath in and a big breath out. He slowly walked closer to his mom and gave her a hug. She cried louder when she felt Kris big arms around her and she hugged her son back. The workers were silently crying too!

It has been years since they have worked in the Li mansion and the pair of mother and son could finally hug each other.

The hug did not last long. Kris released his mom and stepped back. Madam Li wiped her tears. Kris shook his hands out and smiled. He could feel a small tingle of uncomfortableness and panic tremors building up from his body. But his heart was too thrilled!

”Are you okay?” Madam Li smiled.

”Hahaha!” Kris was happy.

Madam Li laughed too and she put up her hand to pat his cheeks but Kris stepped back.

”Sorry, I'll let you cool down.” Madam Li could tell that even though they finally hugged, Kris could still experience some symptoms that were just more delayed.

”No worry, mom.” Kris turned around. ”I am going out!” He ran out of the dining room.

Madam Li yelled back at him. ”Where are you going out this late?! Are you not going to wait for the doctor! We should celebrate!” She chased him outside to see him quickly got into his car.

”Yes!” Kris yelled back. He closed his door and drove out the driveway.

”Yes?” Madam Li scoffed! ”He is supposed to celebrate with me? Who the HELL is more worthy for him to celebrate with than ME!”

One of the workers that went to call Doctor Tye walked up to Madam Li. ”Do you still want the doctor to come?”

Madam Li ignored the worker and was still angry that his son left her alone during this monumental moment.

”Madam, maybe Young Master Li is going to celebrate with his kid's mother.”

Madam Li turned around and scolded the worker. ”What kid! What mother! I am his mother, he is my kid!”

Her chest was puffing with rage again. Then she remembered the statement that Kris said which started all of this...

--> ”Would it count if my kid hugged you instead?”
