Chapter 99: She’s Sexy
Chapter 99: She’s Sexy
Lana knew she had to convince her mother for the surgery, and she decided to do just whatever needed to convince her for the same. She calmed down her heart and mind and wiped down the tears from her face.
As soon as she composed herself, Lana stood up and walked towards her mother's room. When she entered her mother's room, she found her already conscious and happily having a conversation with Liam.
Lana's face was gloomy and Mrs. Huang gulped, knowing her daughter was now aware of her condition.
Lana approached her mother with heavy steps and stared deep in her eyes. Mrs. Huang could not take her piercing gaze and before Lana could say a single word she said, "Lana, I am sorry for not telling it all to you, dear."
"Mom, how could you hide it from me and you even refused to get your surgery done? Do you realise what I would do without you around me? Do you so badly want to leave me alone that early?" Lana scolded her mother as tears ran down her eyes.
Mrs. Huang exhaled loudly while she opened her arms widely. Lana ran into her arms for a tight hug and closed her eyes in the warm embrace of her mother. Once again, the tears ran out from her eyes without her knowing.
"This child… I would not hide it for long from you, just that I didn't find the courage to tell you, knowing that you will nag me about that surgery. And I didn't want to see you cry like that." Mrs. Huang commented and gently pushed her daughter to wipe Lana's tears away from her cheeks.
"Hey Liam is here…" Mrs. Huang reminded Lana.
"It's okay mom. I will just make a call outside…" Liam murmured with a smile.
Liam excused himself because he knew that the two of them needed some private time to talk things out. Lana nodded and muttered, "Thanks a lot, Liam. I will follow you outside shortly."
She then turned her face back to her mother.
"Mom, please agree to this surgery. I am there with you, nothing wrong will happen but if you keep denying then your health will keep deteriorating. And I cannot let that happen. For my sake, please don't be stubborn." Lana mumbled, still sobbing. She must persuade her mother no matter what!
"What do I need to do for you to have a surgery mom?"
Mrs. Huang cupped Lana's face and lovingly stared at her now undeniably grown-up daughter.
"Lana, you know my fear about the surgery. I don't even know if I would survive the surgery or not, and frankly I can't imagine myself leaving you all alone in this world. I will only get enough courage for being ripped open inside that operating room, if I see you being taken care of Lana. Seeing you settling down with someone who can take care of you like Liam. Knowing you're secured with someone will make me feel relaxed. I hope to see you married Lana before I get the operation done, please."
"Mom… Can you ask for anything else? You do know that it's not my priority right now. Tell me what else can I do for you to have a surgery mom? And stop saying you'll get ripped.. The doctors are professionals and will do your surgery well." Lana pleaded.
"Dear, you know how scared I am with even the mention of any surgeries and that kind of thing… They will still cut me open." Mrs. Huang stammered. Just thought of it could almost make her pale already.
"Okay, If I sacrificed my stubborn idea for you will you also do the same and agree for the surgery? If I marry Liam, do you promise that you will have surgery as soon as possible?" Lana murmured, looking intently at her mother.
"Yes, Lana. I will then have the courage regardless of what may happen inside the operating room… At least… just in case that worse comes to worst… I know you will be in safe hands, dear." Mrs. Huang genuinely expressed.
Liam gave her that idea of asking to get married, and she realised that Liam indeed loved and wanted her daughter desperately. She could not ask for more… She knew her daughter well. She had never allowed any man in her life all those years… except for Liam, so she was sure Liam had a special spot in her daughter's heart…
If Lana married Liam, she could peacefully leave this earth.
"You have to keep your words mom and don't be so pessimistic! You will be fine and have many more years to come. The surgery… we will have the best doctor so everything will be successful so I don't want to hear any more negativity please…" Lana begged while she kissed and nudged her mother's hand.

Liam was outside the room, sitting on one of the hallway chairs, waiting… How he hoped Mrs. Huang was able to convince Lana somehow. This was something highly unexpected. If Mrs. Huang helped him and Lana agreed under her pressure, he would make sure to open the closed layers of Lana's heart slowly and gradually make way inside her heart and life for a lifetime. He wished to be with her forever.
He heard the door of Mrs. Huang's ward opened and he stood up when Lana came out of the door.
"She is resting now. The medicine has taken effect again, and she is better now. Let's go and eat lunch first… I'm sure you must be starving," Lana said and walked ahead of Liam to guide him to the restaurant inside the hospital.
They ate lunch in silence, and neither of them said anything during the entire time. After eating, Liam paid for the lunch and they left to go back to Mrs. Huang's ward.
"I think you should go back to the office, Liam." Lana commented after lunch. Liam still walked her to her mother's room. Her mother was still sleeping.
"Alright… Don't think about anything else but your mother's health, Lana. I will leave you for now and please call me if you will need any help." Liam commented and was relieved seeing Lana nodded. He then soon bid his farewell and left the room.
Liam paused and turned around to give one last glance at Lana, who was sitting beside her mother. He knew Lana was exhausted and would have a lot to process for now. So Liam left to come back later.
Inside the car, Liam instructed Andrew to drop him at a jewelry store.
"Hello Attorney Sy," The manager greeted as soon as he entered.
"I want an engagement ring," he instructed, and the manager asked him to sit while she prepared the variety of choices.
"See this one, Sir…" the manager showed him a three-stone ring set on a yellow gold band.
"The center emerald cut stone is an ethically mined diamond." The manager explained and asked Liam for the size of the finger.
Liam was puzzled and said, "I don't have her size yet."
The manager smiled and said, "Hmm, sir, can you describe me in her frame so more or less I can check the size of her finger."
"She's sexy." Liam answered firmly.
"Sir, do you think you can give me her vital signs, height and weight?" The manager asked next.
Liam's forehead furrowed while he pictured Lana's frame in his head…
"I think she is thirty six, twenty four and thirty six. She's about five feet and seven inches in height. Weight… I'm not sure… Fifty kilos? More or less." Liam answered, trying his best to answer as close to reality as much as possible.
The manager prepared the ring and Liam put it in his pocket.
