The Law of Attraction

Mrs. Huang secretly squealed seeing Lana arrive with Liam. She still could not believe that her daughter was now living with a man, her husband. She was feeling giddy thinking of many grandchildren that she would have very soon. She loved kids too much.

"I am sorry Liam that you two can't have a proper honeymoon right now because of my health," Mrs. Huang voiced out with dropped shoulders.

"Mom, we can enjoy our honeymoon in Lana's room. It's more than enough for me," Liam gladly jumped in the teasing boat of Mrs. Huang.

Liam had that coy smile crafted on his relaxed and fresh face while Lana reddened with the background meaning of his words.

Mrs Huang laughed hard, seeing the blushing face of her daughter. She was too grateful for having a son-in-law full of humor. Lana elbowed Liam to shut him up before spurting anymore of his nonsense. She still could not believe how this ice statue was becoming a trademark of a hilarious one liner in front of her mother.

Lana's expression became soft and even a gentle smile curved up on her face without her knowing while watching her mother enjoy the company of Liam. He was so good that she could not think of a way to thank him properly for vesting out time on her mother like this.

'Maybe I should be a little more lenient with him in deciding the house rules later and terms about the marriage.' she came on the conclusion while being satisfied with her mother, laughing now and then while having a simple chat with Liam.

Soon Dr. Gong and Dr. Wang entered to check the condition of her mother.

"It's the best thing that you finally agreed to have the surgery. The tests conducted on you have all come normal. Your body is absolutely ready for the operation. For now, just relax and we will make sure you recover well. No need to get nervous Mrs. Huang..." Dr. Wang said to Mrs. Huang with a reassuring smile.

Then the doctor looked at the nurse and instructed her to prepare Mrs. Huang for the evening surgery. After a few more instructions, the doctors left.

*Knock *knock

The door opened, and Jorge's head popped in.

Liam knitted his eyebrows seeing Jorge entering followed by Miley and then his father with Andrew behind him carrying a lot of paper bags in his hands.

"Father? Weren't you supposed to visit tomorrow after the surgery?" Liam blurted out. It was unexpected, so he looked at Lana, who only nodded and smiled.

Miley had an awkward smile and said, "Father is so pushy. I mean, he couldn't wait until tomorrow and dragged me and Jorge so suddenly in here."

She and Jorge were about to leave for the amus.e.m.e.nt park when their butler halted them and their father suddenly dragged them to accompany him to the hospital instead. He was too excited to meet his in-law that he visited earlier than what he agreed with her brother last night. They also barged in the boutique early to buy a lot of presents for Lana and her mother.

Mrs. Huang chuckled at that and said, "That's okay, dear. I can understand your dad's sentiment. I, too, was so eager to meet Liam's family, but then my condition prohibited me. Thanks to him for coming and visiting me."

"Mom, they are my family, my dad, my sister Miley and brother Jorge." Liam interrupted and bashfully introduced his family to Mrs. Huang.

Senior Sy walked towards Mrs. Huang with a bright smile and extended his hand towards her.

"Finally, we get to meet each other madame. I'm sorry about what happened, I mean about the rushed marriage of our children. This son of mine… I feel so embarrassed that he didn't properly plan the wedding with your daughter. I mean, Lana deserves something special and…"

Mrs. Huang hushed him to cut him off because there was nothing to be sorry about.

"Shh. That's okay. Please call me Ana. We are now a family. It's my fault that Liam and Lana had to rush the wedding… Please don't apologize. I'm really glad and happy seeing my daughter getting married with a fine young man such as your son."

"Call me Ram then. I should thank you as well that my son finally settled down then, but after your recovery we will definitely do things right and give Lana the best wedding ceremony…" Senior Sy stressed with a smile and Mrs. Huang nodded in agreement. It was nice to meet Liam's family at that time. She got rid of a heavy burden from her heart.

"Oh, you also have a beautiful daughter," Mrs. Huang then praised, looking adoringly at Miley.

"And another handsome son. Such a perfect sibling." Mrs. Huang added, looking at Jorge next.

Jorge suddenly flinched and got horrified by the sibling mark on his forehead. No one came forward for his rescue, and so he took that sword in his own hands. He coughed a little and cleared his throat and said with a smile, "Thank you, auntie, but I'm not blood related to them, though father raised me just as his own…"

He did not want to be called Miley's brother... never.

Mrs. Huang nodded in understanding, then turned to Lana and said, "Lana, let your in-laws sit and offer them something to drink, also arrange some snacks please if possible."

Her mother's instructions awakened Lana, who was observing everyone in a daze, her eyes were fixed at the smooth interaction of the seniors with each other. She had an awkward smile and quickly offered the unexpected guests to have a seat in the receiving area of their room and offered them some drinks.

The complications of the reality of marriage just dawned at her.

She looked at Liam, who seemed to understand her expression. He walked towards her and whispered, "Relax." He held Lana's hand and guided her to sit and have a quick chat with his father.

Liam could recognize the conflicted look on Lana's face, so he immediately typed a message to Lana while everyone was busy.

[Don't think too much about this and focus on how your mother is so happy and getting relaxed before her surgery. I will take care of my family when the time comes, so don't worry…]

He sighed after pressing the send button. He did not want Lana to have any doubt and panic due to anything because any doubt in her mind would be like a curve in his smooth lane of a journey to her heart.

Lana read that text message and gave Liam a satisfied smile before she finally let herself loosen up more in entertaining Liam's family.
