Aunt Lin cried for a little while before finally saying in a choked up voice, shocking everybody in the house.
"I have cancer, Lung cancer."
There was silence for a minute before Changming and her father spoke up at the same time in a shocked manner.
"Mum you have cancer?!."
"Lin'er what did you say, you.....you have cancer?."
Aunt Lin didn't reply them, instead she started to cry more, and that caused her to start coughing.
Changming rubbed her back. "Mum please talk to us, how long have you had it, and when did you find out."
Eventually while coughing with her palm over her mouth, Aunt Lin coughed up something, so she opened her palm to see what it was, only to see a little mixture of blood in what she coughed up.
"Oh My God! Mother you coughed up blood!." Changming screamed in a frightened voice.
"Lin'er...Lin'er are you okay?." HuiQing asked worriedly as he patted her back.
