The Law of Attraction

Chapter 120: He’s My Man

Chapter 120: He’s My Man

A few days passed in a jiffy and Liam kept giving all his evenings to Lana and her mother in the hospital as a routine. Mrs. Huang was already back to her old self, not paying attention to her health that made Lana even more worried about her since she always wanted to walk around the room, sometimes even overexerting herself by too much walking.

Dr. Wang was though very happy with the progress of her recovery but had warned her several times to take good proper rest. After almost 10 days, Mrs. Huang was given the discharge slip and instructed to rest properly at home for another month at least.

She still needed to be taken care of and seeing all the circumstances. Liam assigned a private nurse and an in-house doctor exclusively for Mrs. Huang to assure her treatment would go well even at home. And Mrs. Huang was truly touched with that thoughtful action from her very dear son-in-law.

"Mom, I will also stay with you so that I can monitor your health closely." Lana commented while they waited for Liam to arrange clearance for Mrs. Huang's discharge.

"No way!" Mrs. Huang in her top pitch note disagreed.

Lana looked at her mother dumb confounded because the last time she checked, it was her mother who was begging her to stay in the mansion, so what was up with her now?

"Huh?" Lana breathed with a disbelief expression.

"I mean… You're already married now, dear, so it's inappropriate for you to stay with me unless… Anyway, you and Liam can visit me on weekends." Mrs. Huang commented with an awkward smile.

Lana's brows lifted up and asked, "What's with the unless mom? Unless what?"

"Do you mean you will only allow me to stay with you if I bring Liam along with me? Mom?! Are you for real? Do you now care about Liam more than me?" Lana burst out in jealousy, which made Mrs. Huang laughed out loud.

"Dear, what are you saying? I just want to be fair with your husband. Imagine his patience. You see, the two of you did not even have a proper honeymoon trip and celebration and now you are planning to stay with me and leave him alone behind. Married couples should always stick together." Mrs. Huang explained after calming herself from giggling.

Lana exhaled loudly and said, "Mom, Liam can understand the situation and he very well realises how important it is for me to stay with you right now. You have just started to recover and are getting discharged from the hospital so it's very natural that I stay with you mom. I'm really hurt, you know. Why do I feel like you favor Liam now more than me?"

Lana pouted her lips intentionally so she could show off her sulky mood to her mother.

"How about this then dear… You stay with me but Liam must stay there as well. I don't want to stand in between your relationship, dear. Lana, please understand dear, you're married now, so every decision you must take should always concern your better half.

How about you open this to Liam as well? I'm sure he won't be happy if he is asked to be separated from you for even a day…" Mrs. Huang expressed because she could notice how Liam could not wait to see her daughter every single day.

Liam who just then entered the room said, "Mom, you're all set to go home." As he said this, he noticed the weird silence between the mother and daughter duo who were engaged in 'who talks first is a fool' contest.

He knitted his eyebrows, seeing Lana and his mother-in-law exchanged meaningful glances. His mother-in-law was even signalling Lana to speak.

"Hmm, what is it? Something in your expressions gives me a vibe that there's something I need to know urgently?" Liam asked, waiting for any of the two to speak.

"Lana wants to stay with me and I said it's not right since you two have just gotten married and I can't separate you both." Mrs. Huang started.

"Oh, but I don't see any problem with that mom." Liam answered with a smile.

Lana smiled as well and said, "See mom? I told you Liam will understand."

"Of course I understand love… Besides, I see nothing wrong with us staying with mom while she recuperates. That way you can monitor her more closely." Liam added with a grin.

Mrs. Huang then finally had a wide smile carved on her face. She looked at Lana and said, "See what I mean?"

Then she shifted her gaze back to Liam and added, "That's right, son, never let your wife alone. As I said, married couples should always be together. Let me first call now our butler to prepare the biggest room for you two because Lana's room is small for the two of you."

Lana could see that excitement in her mother that she no longer corrected Liam with what was really she and her mother were debating about. She wondered what could be the endpoint of this marriage of agreement she had with Liam. One thing foremost she must set straight would be the expiration of their agreement.

Her mobile phone beeped, and it was Keira's non-stop messages informing the group were so ready to have fun with them, the newlyweds.

"Who's that?" Mrs. Huang asked, seeing the conflicted expression of her daughter who seemed to be troubled on how to reply to the messages she received.

"Oh, it's Keira mom. You know she keeps asking when our group would hang out." Lana casually commented and typed a reply.

"Why not go and have fun tomorrow night? Your friends are just too excited and happy to know you are married to someone like Liam. You can't blame them… They are like me, remember who can't let you die an old maid like you used to say."

Liam silently watched Lana and her mother talk while he on the other hand felt really lucky to have a supportive mother-in-law. In his head, he thought it would be better to stay with Lana's mother, knowing it could be easier to convince Lana with a lot of things with her mother around.

Besides, he was also worried about her mother-in-law, and he himself wanted to make sure she would have proper treatment to make sure her progress was steady and that her disease would not reoccur or something.

The nurse finally entered with the discharge slip.

Liam called Andrew to get ready while he himself helped Mrs. Huang to her wheelchair. Lana watched the nurses, who were obviously squealing towards the handsomeness and thoughtfulness of Liam. She herself somehow could not help feeling proud of Liam. So she had such a look at the nurses, stressing the words, 'he's my man.'
