Chapter 311 - You are my son!

Xio Lee calmed himself a bit, wiping away his tears. He came closer to Elizabeth, patting her back lovingly. "Ohk Rhehan! Listen to us very-very carefully. What you are going to hear, is not going to be easy! You can take your sweet time to know all the detailed facts in a few days!"

Rhehan looked at Xio Lee, his heart racing at the speed of lightening. What is he going to say? Is it really what I am thinking?

Elizabeth released him from her embrace and looked at the boy's teary eyes and pale face. She held his face lovingly with her hands, controlling her own tears. She knew she can not be weak now! She had to be strong, for him. She has to support him!

"Ohk! Please tell! You guys are freaking me out already!" Rhehan looked at the two of them! He was now sweating profousely, as if having a panic attack!

"You.....You...You are....my son Rhehan!!!" Elizabeth finally spoke, looking into Rhehan's eyes.

Rhehan stood shell-shocked, as if he has been struck by a lightening. Rose gaped at Elizabeth in shock!

Rhehan's legs were now shivering and he looked at Elizabeth, as if unsure of what he heard.

"Yes! You heard it correct! You are Elizabeth's biological son!" Xio Lee came closer to Rhehan, patting his back.

Rhehan closed his eyes as if trying to grasp their words. I have a mother? She is my mother? I am not an orphan?!

"Listen to us very- very carefully Rhehan! You also Rose! What we are going to tell you, shall not be told to anybody else! Not even James and Kareem! Do you get that!" Lillian stepped forward holding Rhehan's hand, looking at him and Rose. Rose nodded in a 'yes', whereas, Rhehan stood there motion-less, lost in a trance. Rose too stepped forward, holding Rhehan's other hand.

Elizabeth was lovingly holding his face, while Xio Lee was patting his back. The senario was too overwhelming for him. The man who had never been loved in his entire life-time, is suddenly experiencing the love of a family!

"I think, we should start by explaining it from the beginning!" Elizabeth looked at Xio Lee, who nodded in return.

"Rhehan! You have to listen to me carefully! Now ! Are you ready? Do you need some time?" Xio Lee looked at Rhehan's face, noticing his blank expressions.

Rhehan nodded in a 'yes', not uttering a single word except "Ready."

"Your mother Elizabeth, met your biological father right after your maternal grandparents died in an accident. Your mother was too young, so she tried to commit suicide, but your father saved her. Lizie then fell for the guy, but later found out that he was into smuggling and other illegal activities!"

Rhehan, was stunned at Xio Lee's words and suddenly his legs could no longer carry his weight. He was about to fall down, when Xio Lee held him tightly. "I think you should sit, then we can continue. Rose get him a glass of water!"
