Chapter 100: Someone She Could Trust



Chapter 100: Someone She Could Trust

Meanwhile, Lana stared at her sleeping mother. She heaved a long sigh…

She could understand her mother\'s sentiments. She again exhaled a lot of air out of her lungs. She was in deep thoughts and was contemplating on agreeing to what her mother said, but then she knew how stubborn her mother could be. She would at least try to push her to get the surgery done.

She kept on thinking so many things as she rested her head on the side of the bed while holding her mother\'s hand. So many memories came and went in her mind, and what moved her the most was the love of her mother, even in her memories.

\'Marriage?!\' Lana mused with frustration. She had decided to die an old maid because marriage was something she never saw herself getting into. Men for her were all untrustworthy when it came to relationships, and she was not willing to take a risk on them. She would rather live alone by herself rather than suffering for life…

Yet today her mother had been successful in making her think of getting married. Lana once again looked at her mother, who was still peacefully sleeping. Her eyes welled up again. She definitely could not afford to lose her mother by being stubborn and not fulfilling her mother\'s heartiest wish, even if that is difficult for her to deal with.

She had now somehow started considering her mother\'s words as long as it would make her mother happy and agree for the surgery. Her mother had been her knight in shining armor ever since she was a kid, so marriage…

She should get married without having a second thought about it, besides Liam was someone she could trust. A man who hated to be close to women and disliked to be in a relationship was the perfect candidate. She must at least come into terms with Liam. But she wondered how she could approach Liam about the marriage?

She dozed off thinking about how she should approach Liam about it...

After some time, Mrs. Huang finally woke up and saw her daughter asleep with her head on the side of her bed and her hand clenched into hers.?She could feel the anxiety and worry in her just by this posture of her daughter.

"Look at this child sleeping here just because of me. It must be so uncomfortable in this posture." Mrs. Huang murmured as she cleared the strands of hair covering Lana\'s face.

She could not help but grin, thinking how she seemingly convinced Lana about marriage. She was still afraid to go for the surgery, but if Lana would marry Liam in order to force her for the surgery, then she would also muster her courage to live longer and see her future grandchildren as well.

She excitedly giggled at the thought of little Lana in her embrace that she lovingly caressed Lana\'s hair.

The gentle strokes of her mother on her hair awakened Lana.

"Mom, I slept… Sorry. How long have you been awake? Do you need anything?" Lana asked while she straightened in her seat and stretched her arms.

"You look so tired, dear. Why not go home and have a proper rest? The nurse here can take care of my needs beside I\'m not that sick…" Mrs. Huang asserted.

Lana pursed her lips and with knitted brows objected, "Stop it mom. No one can take care of you properly except me. Also, I have already asked the doctor to schedule your surgery. Don\'t worry, I will get married before your operation takes place, so please don\'t worry about anything and focus on getting healthy and conditioning your body for the operation."

They were still talking when they heard knocking on the door. Then they saw Liam enter with a basket of a variety of fruits and a sweet smile plastered on his face.

"How are you feeling mom?" Liam asked, smiling. Lana cringed at that \'mom\' from Liam. She was not used to Liam calling her mother with endearment like how she used to call her mother.

"I am good, Liam. Wow, they look good and fresh," Mrs. Huang commented as Liam put the basket on the table. Lana could feel how enthusiastic her mother was whenever Liam was around that she often felt her presence was not even needed.

"Mom… I will leave for a while with Liam as soon as your private nurse arrives. I will come back after fixing a few things." Lana commented and bade her mother goodbye when the nurse arrived before pulling Liam outside the room.

Mrs. Huang had the widest smile on her face while watching the two leaving the room together. Registering their marriage in advance would be nice, and the grand ceremony could follow soon. Knowing her daughter inside out, she knew that she would surely go to register the marriage first, just to convince her to get?the surgery done…

She really liked Liam for her daughter because she felt that Liam could handle Lana well as he said, besides the fact that the man was sincere to Lana, who told her he loved Lana without hesitation.

*****

Liam was surprised when Lana suddenly pulled him outside.

"What\'s going on? Where are we going Lana?" Liam asked, totally confused.

"Let\'s hurry before it closes." Lana mumbled, holding Liam\'s hand. She was basically dragging him through the hallway towards the parking lot while she kept looking on her wristwatch.

Then he saw her dialing a number on her phone and heard her talking to Andrew. Liam\'s eyebrows knitted.

\'Where are we going?\' Liam mused while listening to Lana giving direct instructions to Andrew.

"Yes, we are near the exit. Come fast. Thanks." Lana mumbled before ending the call. His car stopped as soon as they were at the exit.

"Lana, what\'s happening?" Liam asked when they were inside the car. Lana ignored him and turned her head to Andrew instead.

"Drive fast, Andrew, please. We need to hurry to the registrar\'s office before it closes Andrew. Make sure we arrive in time. Well, we still have time… drive fast..." he heard Lana directly instruct Andrew.

Liam\'s jaw dropped in awe by the way Lana was instructing Andrew without any hesitation. He was able to get some hint but didn\'t want to feel too happy before any confirmations from Lana.

He was in a complete state of bewilderment when Lana finally faced him and asked, "Liam, can I have just this one favor from you, please? You are the only person I can trust. You do trust me as well, right?"

Liam subconsciously nodded. He felt… He could not explain it… So he asked, "Are we going to the registrar\'s office?"

Lana nodded and muttered, "Let\'s get married, Liam… right now."
