The Law of Attraction

Chapter 402: I’m Really Sorry

Luo heard the monster clap his hand and commented to Lana, "Wow! I'm really proud of you, Lana!"

She watched the monster check the pulse of the man she had previously attacked. Then, he went in front of her and checked the man guarding her who was now lying unconscious, and whispered, "Oh you need more training when it comes to killing, my lovely daughter."

Her eyes rounded while she watched the monster slit the man's throat.

Lana, on the other hand, placed her mother on her back when the monster turned at her and said, "Do you want to fight your father next to save your sister's life, Lanabelle?"

"Marty! Problem! The military is here!" shouted the man and soon gun fires were heard. Lana felt relieved thinking it was Drey who had arrived to save all of them. The men then gathered around Marty.

"Free Luo from the rope and make sure not to let her out of your sight. She's your gold!" Marty shouted as he tried to come close to Lana but Lana swayed her knife. The monster instructed the other men to get her and her mother but Lana fought with them hard.

*Bang *Bang

Marty's men fell on the ground.

Lana saw Liam and Noah running quickly followed by the military force.

Marty grabbed Luo and pointed the gun at her temple.

"Take one more step and this daughter of mine will die!" Marty shouted.

Noah and Liam were confused about why the man called Luo his daughter.

Marty turned to Lana and said, "Drop that knife Lanabelle or your big sister will die."

"She's your daughter!" Lana shouted.

"So?! You are stubborn and so is she. I will kill you both if you don't listen to your father!" Marty shouted then signaled one of his men to grab Lana as soon as she dropped the knife.

*Bang

Another shot from behind and Marty's men were seen collapsing one by one on the floor. Luo managed to escape after biting her father's hand. Lana quickly pulled Luo together with her mother to Noah and Liam'sside who were surrounded by military forces.

"Lanabelleeeee!" she heard that monster shouted.

Marty along with all of his men were almost down and he knew he could not make it alive so he shouted, "I surrender!!!"

The gunfire stopped and the military approached Marty.

"Drop the gun!" Drey instructed him to throw his gun away because a machine gun still hung on his neck.

But something on his face changed and Lana knew that face. He was grinning maniacally as he looked at her then looked at Liam not far from them. He was in front.

"Liam… No!" she shouted and was about to run to him but she saw her mother suddenly appeared and hugged Liam.

The loud bangs rang on Lana's ears from both sides and her eyes widened seeing her mother wriggled violently as her body received the shots.

"No!!!" Lana shouted. She was about to run to her but everything went dark and her body helplessly fell to the ground.

After a few hours, Lana opened her eyes. She was already inside the hospital room.

"Love, how are you feeling now?" she heard Liam ask while he kissed her hand.

"Mom? Where's my mom?" she asked and seeing her husband's expression, she could tell something bad happened.

"I want to see her! Where is she?" she yelled as her eyes started to get clouded with tears recalling how her mother was hit by too many bullets before her eyes. She was still hoping she could still survive it somehow.

She raised her body to stand up even though her body felt so weak and numb. Why was she feeling so numb?

"What happened to me?" she asked with a terrifying look. Something was wrong with her body. She did not receive any gunshot wound, why couldn't she feel her body?

Liam stopped her and said, "Hon, you need to rest… Our baby…"

Liam could not continue further because it pained him to tell the devastating news to her wife.

Lana unconsciously caressed her tummy.

"No!" she hysterically cried.

"Please don't tell me I lost our baby?!" she almost yelled and her husband could not answer but she only saw her husband's tears fall from his eyes.

"No!!!" Lana screamed as she cried. Liam hugged her tightly while she wept so hard.

"I want to see mom. Liam please…" Lana stutteringly said. Liam's heart was broken. They lost their baby and now Lana's mother was in the hospital morgue already. He did not know how to deliver all of this bad news to his wife who just came to consciousness after.

"Alright. Calm down first…" Liam whispered as he gently stroked Lana's back and kissed her head. He wanted to take away all the pain in her.

"Tell me she is fine, Liam? Please tell me she's alright." Lana asked. But she was afraid to hear Liam's answer. Her husband could not say anything so she wailed hard, getting a hint of the situation. It only meant that her mother was gone too and her husband did not know how to say it to her.

Liam did not know what to do so he only hugged his wife tightly and wept with her. He had a gunshot in his arms but it was nothing because his mother-in-law saved him from several bullets aiming at him and hit a lot of her vital organs. The doctors did all they could to save her but there was no hope.

"It's all my fault… I am sorry… I am so sorry mom…" Lana cried, repeating each word several times. Liam could not breathe at all when he felt the grievance and pain of her wife.

Lana's father died on the spot after receiving a lot of gunshots from the military forces. But two lives were taken from them during that bloody battle. Their unborn child and his mother-in-law.

"It's not your fault love…" Liam whispered repeatedly.

"I want to see her… Please Liam, take me to her..." Lana insisted.

Liam arranged a wheelchair and accompanied her to the hospital morgue where her mother was lying. He closed his eyes hearing the cries of her wife who hugged the lifeless body of her mother.

He got out of the room and slumped helplessly on the floor. He was crying quietly because it could have been him lying in there if Lana's mother didn't save him.

"I'm sorry mother… I'm really sorry… I couldn't even save our baby..." he whispered again and again as he sobbed.
