Lana felt so relieved seeing her mother back on her bed in her room. She was still unconscious because of the effect of the anaesthesia. Dr. Wang informed Lana that the operation was very successful, and they were very satisfied with the final outcome.

Lana was very overwhelmed and her eyes welled up unknowingly. She stepped closer to her mother and stared at her sleeping face for a while, then she held her mother’s hand and kissed it lovingly as she whispered, “You did great mom. I’m so proud of you.”

Tiny drops of tears trickled down her cheeks. She was happy that her mother gathered enough courage and agreed for the surgery.

She then looked at Liam and said, “I think you should head back home Liam and have a proper night’s sleep. You have already done enough to help me today, I am already feeling embarrassed. I will stay with mom at night.”

Liam stood up from the couch and said, “Alright, I’ll come back tomorrow morning and cook breakfast for you and something for auntie. I will ask the doctor if she’s allowed to eat something like soup or something light.”

“Liam, you don’t have to bother,” Lana uttered, but Liam insisted so she no longer debated with him. She stood up and went with him to at least walk Liam out of the hospital.

Lana looked at nurse Jane to look after her mother. Then she told Liam, “Let’s go. Let me walk you out.”

Liam nodded and followed Lana, walking out from the ward. A lot of things had happened that day, and Liam felt satisfied with the turnout of events. He was also glad that he was able to open up with Lana regarding his mother, something he had not done even with Gale.

“Will you tell mom the thing I told you about my mother? You see it’s something my family is not very proud of that was why my father shut down every detail and information about our mother.” Liam said while they walked in the hallway.

“Will you mind it if I tell my mom about it?” Lana asked back.

��Well, I don’t mind at all. Besides, I’m sure your mother is curious as well about my mother…” Liam replied.

“Don’t worry Liam… My mom is a very cool person, so whether she knows it or not, nothing will change and I bet she will still like you a lot.”

“In fact, I bet she likes you more than even she likes me now.” Lana added in a jest.

“Are you getting jealous of me now?” Liam burst out in disbelief. Lana chuckled only as an answer.

“Call me when you arrive home,” Lana mumbled as they stopped at the exit and waited for Andrew to stop the car in front of them.

“Such a demanding wife. Noted love..” Liam answered jokingly and Lana’s eyes widened followed by a loud, “Stop that!”

“Hahaha. You’re so serious.” Liam beamed with a smile.

“And since when did you become a joker?!” Lana scoffed with a crumpled face.

“Since I met you… Life became this light, you see… You look cute when you are angry. Anyway, I will leave now. Call me if you need anything, LOVE.” Liam said before almost jumping at the backseat of the car. Or else Lana would surely kill him for teasing her like that.

Lana’s nostrils were flaring while she glared at Liam’s car that rode away from the hospital.

“Indeed, his serious, stern face is more preferable than him suddenly acting weird like hell, cracking such kind of jokes and where did he learn this way of teasing?! Is that his actual personality?” Lana beamed as she walked back towards her mother’s ward.

Liam’s actions were totally confusing her, his out of the world way of talking with her mother.

And the teasings… It all started when she asked him for help and she was totally speechless.

However, there was one thing she was sure of… She liked Liam because he was someone she felt she could trust, someone she was comfortable sharing her secrets with.

Inside her mother’s ward, Lana sat beside her mother and sighed. Her thoughts drifted to what Liam told her about his mother. She adored Senior Sy for how he managed the situation well and was able to raise three adorable kids all alone, on his own.

Not all parents were like her mother right now and senior Sy, who would do everything to protect their children from being harmed. Her biological parents and Liam’s mother were just the opposites of them.

She smiled because she realized how much Liam trusted her for opening up about such a big thing to her. Jorge said Liam never said a thing about his mother, not even to him, so Liam told it only to her! Somehow Lana felt great knowing how Liam trusted her.

*******

Meanwhile, inside the car, Liam was still grinning while Lana’s angry face kept on popping before his eyes. Then he chuckled on his own.

Andrew who was driving the car blinked several times while he sneaked glances at the rearview mirror, wondering if his Boss was still sane.

“Andrew… Focus on driving,” he heard his Boss mumble, so Andrew kept his eyes on the road.

Andrew dropped him off at Lana’s place and headed back to the mansion. Liam unlocked the door and entered the small adorable place that he had been living from just one day.

It felt so lonely without Lana being around. He came in and sat down lazily on the couch. He smiled and quickly went up and entered his new room, one of Lana’s spare rooms. It was spacious.

He pounced on the bed and stared at the ceiling, still smiling. The recent interactions with Lana were very tickling and heartwarming in many ways for him. He knew he would have to work really hard to make her accept him.

He had had a very fulfilling day, and then he thought of the dishes he should prepare for the next day for the lunch box. Good thing he learned to cook while staying with Gale at country V.

He then heaved a sigh recalling Gale’s trial… Up until now, they still could not find any good evidence to prove that everything was nothing but a frame up. He had never lost a case, so he should work hard not to lose this one as well. Gale might have left him in the past, but she was a nice person and innocent as far as this murder was concerned.

Another sigh escaped Liam’s mouth. He took out his mobile phone to look at the photos sent by his wonderful sister, who was quick-witted enough to take photos of him with Lana, kissing photos. they didn’t even have a proper wedding kiss.

He again smiled and chuckled, looking at the photo where he had suddenly kissed Lana, who had her eyes open wide in shock, glaring at him while he had his eyes totally shut down…

“Cute.” he whispered before dialing Lana’s number.

“Hello,” Lana answered.

“I’m home… love…” Liam spoke in a deep magnetic voice, informing her with a grin.

“Stop calling me that and sleep!” Lana mumbled and quickly ended the call on her mobile phone. She abruptly rubbed the hairs down on her arms that all stood up hearing that husky deep voice of his. Liam was giving her goosebumps on her skin and… her heart… She was not liking how her heart was throbbing so fast.
