Chapter 408: Anxiously Waiting For Her
Miley's eyes darted towards Liam who was sitting like a cold robot. He was now living only for his family's business and reputation. She rembered how he had gone almost crazy when Lana abandoned him and left no stone unturned to look for her. He failed in finding her yet he didn't lose hope and kept on looking for Lana for a long ti with no results.
He didn't even take care of himself during that dark ti and he didn't even rember to feed himself, he lost track of ti… but Lana was nowhere to be found, it was as if she had vanished in thin air without any trace.
Miley got back from the cloudy thoughts of her brother's life this past year, she squinted her eyes and felt a little anxious as she couldn't decide whether she should bring up the forbidden topic or not.
Keira had left the decision to Miley and said that it was up to her if she wanted to inform Liam about the news or not. However, Keira was sure that she would bring Lana back to the country by any ans.
'He must know about this.' she mused but she was hesitating in spilling that piece of news in front of her steeled brother.
Miley sighed while she looked at her brother every now and then and tried to gather courage to say her piece of mind. She unconsciously did that several tis attracting Liam's attention.
"Miley… Do you want to say sothing?" Liam asked with a straight face and cold tone.
Miley exhaled loudly and she looked frustrated in the end, she blurted out, "Keira has found Lana, in country A, she said she will be bringing Lana back to our country…"
All eyes in the dining area shifted and stuck on Miley almost intimidating her. It was Jorge who quickly recovered from the shock Miley just inflicted on them.
"Bro, Lana… she is going to co back... Think about her. You can't accept that marriage proposal. She is going to co back now." Jorge seconded, almost begging.
He knew how much Liam had loved Lana, how he had changed himself for her, pursued her, protected her, and cared about her every sentint. He also knew how much he was hurt when she suddenly disappeared without telling him anything, with no clue and no hint.
Jorge was sure that Liam still had a spare room for Lana in his heart after his failed frantic search for her for months, and therefore he did not want him to make a decision he would regret later on.
Liam's heart trembled hearing that na after so long. The mories attached with that na flashed past his eyes and ca the pain that she gave by abandoning their love. He understood she was in pain, but the child she lost was his too and she forgot that their pain was equal, be it because of losing their baby or of the departure of their mother… mom Ana. He was stabbed by her thoughtlessness and baffled by her reckless action.
When he heard Jorge speaking, his anger started building up, but he controlled himself and took a deep breath and nonchalantly said, ???She left us on her own accord. She left the signed divorce papers and set free."
"She happily left and went away that day. I will appreciate it if that na won't be ntioned again. She is no longer part of this family so no one should care about her whereabouts since she did not care about us." he coldly added before he stood up and left.
Miley and Jorge's face fell hearing his reply and a loud exhale was heard but this ti it was from Senior Sy.
"You can't bla your brother for being like that… You both have witnessed how he went crazy looking for Lana to bring her back and he searched everywhere he could, again and again. For months he kept his search on and all he got was a disappointnt. I'm not trying to judge Lana as well because I can understand a little why she did that.
But things could have been easier had she chosen another path of life and stayed with us to overco everything together. But then again, we are not in her shoes, it is easier for us to voice out our opinion like that since we didn't experience what she had experienced. If I ask any of you what would you do if you were in her position, I'm sure none of you would be able to answer it correctly..."
"To be honest, I understand sis Lana… She had always been an introverted person from the starting. Keira once told how she always hid herself to heal her emotional wounds and probably that was what she did this ti too. Keira knows Lana well and how she thinks. She also said that she was sure sis Lana would learn from this and will co back as a better and stronger person. She just needed this ti alone… Away from everyone…" Miley comnted with a sigh.
"You should tell Liam about that, Miley. I really don't like that he is planning to enter a new relationship in this condition and most especially for the wrong purpose. This is so unlike him. He has beco worse than he was before he t Lana. More heartless… Totally ruthless..." Jorge suggested.
The dining area was filled with several sighs. Everyone was feeling anxious and frustrated at the sa ti.
anwhile, Liam was in very deep thought while he was inside the car. He was supposed to et Mr. Chua at lunch today to discuss further the old man's proposal.
All Liam could think now was how to torture Lana the way she tortured him. He was anxiously waiting for her and wanted to see her reaction when she would see him with so other woman. He intentionally had the news of his engagent leaked all over the country with the hope that it would reach Lana.
'Are you really coming back now, Lana?' Liam mused.
'Do I need to proceed with the engagent ceremony? What are you going to do now? Will you really just let be with another woman?' Liam continued to ponder at the back of his head.
