"You look, uhm," Chi Wei looked at her from head to toe and tilted his head to find the right word to describe his sister's appearance. "You look....did you get any sleep right night?" He gave up on describing her appearance and settled on asking the question which was on everyone's mind.
But how could Chi Lian have a proper response? All night long she had tossed and turned, sleepless from the thought of the possibility that Mei-Mei could be her biological daughter and she could have another child out there.
Maybe remnants of the old Chi Lian were still active in her body somehow. Perhaps that could explain why she chose to adopt the little one in an instant as if she had been driven by instinct. Maybe that's why she loved the little one so much that she would kill and do anything in the world for her. Perhaps Chi Lian's soul recognized her blood.
