Chapter 113: Friendly Gesture
Chapter 113: Friendly Gesture
Liam called his father and advised him to not visit Lana's mother that day so Mrs. Huang could get a good rest and don't feel awkward in his presence. Senior Sy understood Liam's concern and heeded his advice.
Liam stayed with Lana the whole day in the hospital while Lana encouraged him to review some important details on Gale's case so his time inside her mother's room could be at least a little productive. Lana checked on him and gave her opinion whenever something came to her mind.
Mrs. Huang watched the both of them working together admiringly and thought it was helpful for the two both of them to have the same profession, and they both seemed to compliment each other well.
Hours seemed to be running surprisingly fast, and before they knew it, it was evening. Lana told Liam to go home early.
"I will drop by here in the morning and we shall have breakfast together before I leave for the office," Liam informed.
"No, you don't have to Liam." Lana persisted, thinking Liam had already done so much for her and her mother.
"Lana, why are you refusing Liam's good intentions, dear. You are his wife so it's just natural for him to want to see you the moment he wakes up, and if not first thing in the morning then at least he would want to see you before he leaves for office." Mrs. Huang teased, making Lana turn redder than a ripe tomato in embarrassment.
Liam chuckled and said, "How come you can read me better mom? Much better than my wife…"
Lana rolled her eyes and pursed her lips before standing up from her seat to pull Liam outside.
"Mom, I'll just walk Liam outside before you two gang up against me and tease me anymore," Lana mumbled with a crumpled face. Mrs. Huang nodded and Liam gave his mother-in-law a kiss on her cheek and whispered, "I'll be back tomorrow morning, mom, take care."
Outside the room, Lana could not help but voiced out, "You like my mom so much, huh?"
Liam smiled and muttered, "Why are you jealous? Don't worry, my dear wife… I like my rational and very understanding wife more than I like my mother-in-law."
Lana did not respond to his teasing because she already started getting used to Liam's teasing now.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Liam suddenly asked.
"Cook anything you find in the fridge. You see, I'm not a picky eater as long as the food is tasty, and with you cooking I don't have to worry about that." Lana answered. They were already at the exit door of the hospital when Liam's car stopped in front of them.
"See you tomorrow," Liam whispered and suddenly turned to face her and bent a little and planted a small and soft kiss on her forehead.?Lana was caught off guard by this action of Liam and before she could say anything Liam spoke...
"There… I kissed mom's cheeks So to make things even between mother-in-law and wife, I kissed you also. I kissed on your forehead because you might kill me if I kissed on your lips. Don't get fired up, it's just a casual friendly gesture so don't overthink things." he muttered with a handsome smile at her rounded eyes before going inside his car.
"Don't overthink?!" Lana absentmindedly complained before turning around to go back inside her mother's room. Her heart was pounding like a drum, but she had to admit that she liked the new Liam, who was more loose and free with her.

Monday morning, Liam got up in the morning and energetically stepped into the kitchen and prepared a hearty breakfast for Lana. He was smiling while he cooked and packed breakfast. When Andrew came to pick him, he even greeted Andrew enthusiastically.
"Take me to the hospital first," he instructed, so Andrew drove to the hospital first.
Liam stepped out of the car and carried the boxes of breakfast along with him inside. He opened the door of the room and as he went inside the room he was blown away by the early morning messed up, sexy look of Lana.
Lana had just woken up when he arrived in the room, and her hair was all messed up. Her face had a pink glow. She looked like a cute little girl. Liam was transfixed in his place and couldn't help but stare at that beautiful face he loved so dearly.
How he wished he could just take her in his tight embrace and kiss her senseless.
Lana didn't notice that expression of Liam. She just yawned and greeted him before she stood up to freshen up.
Liam gulped and when Lana went inside the bathroom, he drank a glass of water to relax his dry throat. He then set the table for breakfast and waited for Lana to come out.
When she came out, they started eating breakfast together, but Lana was very distracted and kept on biting her lips now and then. Her attention was on the clock more than it was on the food.
"Aren't you going to be late?" Lana asked while looking at the wall clock once again. She was grateful for all he was doing for her and her mom, but then she was wishing for Liam to leave quickly because her friends were about to visit her mom today in the hospital.
If Keira, the most mischievous of all, saw Liam there… It would be doomsday for her and she would be subjected to their non-stop teasing the entire day.
"How's the sandwich?" Liam asked, ignoring Lana's question.
"It's good, really good. Wait, Liam, it's almost nine in the morning now. You should go to the office." Lana, once again, remarked.
"Lana… I'm the Boss there, so I can go to my office anytime I want. No one needs to check my attendance there, and I report to no one. Why do I have a feeling that you're driving me away?" Liam asked with pouty lips.
