The Law of Attraction
chapter-78

Liam's hurt expressions made Lana's heart ache she wanted to console him.

She was stroking his back with one hand, and her other hand held him from his shoulders. Their position was quite intimate and Liam felt very much warm and relaxed in her embrace.

Liam wanted to cry his pain out, and so he did on her shoulders. He inadvertently lifted his arms to wrap on her slim and dainty body. He cried holding her like that, something he had not done for years, whatever loss he faced he never cried… but this day was an exception.

Once he got a hold of his emotions, he realised how he was leaning into her embrace. His head was on her shoulders. Her fragrance was inciting his senses, calming him down at the same time.

Liam was a little out of his own mind and driven only by his heart. The way they held each other just fluttered a few emotions in him and all he knew now was he wanted this girl for himself in all ways. All the fears of her running away were forgotten, and he wanted to feel the love he was yearning for.

Liam gently pushed Lana and fixed his tear-filled eyes on hers. He was shocked to see the feelings of hurt in her eyes. Then his gaze shifted on her lips and he immediately wanted to kiss those moist luscious and beautiful lips. The kisses they had shared the last time in the party were yet fresh in his memory. Once again, he wanted to feel the comfort and sense of belonging that kiss gave him.

He unconsciously started leaning closer to her face to capture those lips and seal into his…

'What is he doing?' Lana's eyes widened when she realized Liam was slowly getting closer.

She was a little shocked by her own behaviour. It was again her who brought him so close. If anyone was to be blamed for the intimacy, it should be her alone.

"Father! Father! Father!"

Both got startled by the wailing sound of a girl. Lana out of reflex pushed Liam away lightly, hearing someone's hysterical screams. Liam also came back to his senses and turned to look towards the girl, wailing profusely.

At that moment Lana saw a young, beautiful woman come running towards them and Liam murmured, "Gracy…"

The woman ran to Liam, instinctively seeing him sitting there. Liam stood up and muttered, "Gracy I'm sorry abou…"

But his words were cut because Gracy pounced at him unexpectedly. She hugged Liam tightly, sobbing and crying her heart out. Lana saw Liam naturally embraced her and patted her back while gently stroking her hair to calm her down.

"I'm really sorry about this…" Liam whispered while he too unconsciously cried again. Lana felt awkward and suddenly unwanted at the scene. She quietly stood up and walked towards Jorge who was standing not very far away from them.

"Come and get some fresh air outside. Let's leave the two of them for a while… They need some time alone." Jorge muttered, so Lana followed him.

"Who is she?" Lana immediately asked when Jorge and she were finally seated on one of the benches of the hospital's garden.

She felt weird and a little unsettled after witnessing that scene and Lana could not help but become curious about who that woman was.

The first woman got to touch Liam except her. He hugged her back and she could see how he got worried about the woman's emotions at that moment. He was calming her down, consoling her. His gestures were full of care and worry, something that Liam had shown only towards her in so many days since she had been with him.

'Why am I feeling like this? So what if there's a woman next to him? Wake up, Lana! Do you expect all women flocking Liam to be like Rio Tang? Do you expect Liam to act the same on all the women like he did to Rio? Someone he wanted to shoo away like a contagious disease?' her inner self almost hit her head for thinking too much about unnecessary things.

Jorge looked at Lana and smiled a little when he saw a hint of dislike mixed with curiosity on Lana's face. He shook his head because he could understand Lana's curiosity, but dislike? Was that true what he saw?.

"She's Gracy Go. The only daughter of Senior Go, the Vice Chairman. She is staying abroad for many years and occasionally comes home here to visit." Jorge stated. "She is a model by profession and works for very well-established brands there, a very famous model." he added and told her.

'No wonder the woman is very beautiful and slim with an exceptionally maintained figure.' Lana thought.

Then a mischievous glint sparkled in Jorge's eyes as he continued, "To be honest… in fact she..."

He was curious how Lana would react to the info he would divulge. He wished to see some sparks of jealousy flying around, so maybe it was not bad to spill some of Liam's secrets to Lana.

Lana waited for him to speak, but Jorge paused for a long time so Lana turned and stared at him. Jorge gave her an awkward look scratching at his forehead that said he was hesitating to say what he would say.

"Tell me… I hate being hanged like this Jorge. You should not have started saying it in the first place if you won't continue and finish what you were going to say." Lana complained with a twitched face.

Jorge chuckled at that and continued, "You have met Gale already, right?"

Lana nodded and whispered, "Yeah… Liam's first love? Isn't she?"

She presumed that Gale was Liam's first love, though she never confirmed it yet directly from Liam. Not that she would since those were his personal matters she should not be prying about.
