| ← Ch.079 | Ch.081 → |
Lana bade goodbye to Jorge and started walking in the hospital's lobby towards the exit. She wanted to hail a taxi and as she tried to get her mobile phone but realised that it was not with her. Then she remembered that she had forgotten it in Liam's car.
She cursed at her carelessness for forgetting her mobile phone. She had to get it back, so she decided to go to the car park knowing Andrew must be there in the car or driver's lounge. She turned around and almost bumped into Liam, who seemed to be running towards her.
She was stunned to see him in this condition, as if he was in a hurry to reach her."Did you run here all the way from inside?" she asked with knitted brows seeing Liam was panting.
Liam nodded and uttered, "Yeah. You left your phone in the car and I was worried how you will even take a taxi. Let's go, I will drop you off."
Lana did not refuse and walked beside Liam before she asked, "Aren't you going to stay, what if you are still needed there for something?"
"Jorge can take care of things here." Liam answered but followed by a deep sigh before adding, "I need some fresh air to be honest."
They went in the parking lot and creased her forehead, seeing Liam open the door for her in the passenger.
"Andrew?" she asked.
"Get in. I'll drive. He will accompany Jorge." Liam responded.
Lana smiled brightly, opened her palm in front of Liam and asked him to hand her the car keys.
"Give me the keys... Let me drive you to a beautiful and serene place with fresh air, you will feel refreshed there, " Lana offered followed by a wink.
Liam froze at her gesture and a feeling of being cared for by her surged in him. He stood speechless and stared unblinking at Lana.
Looking at his nonreactive state, Lana grabbed the?keys from his hand and instructed, "Get inside."
Lana walked around the car and reached the other side to sit on the driver's seat. Liam obediently followed her instructions and watched her quietly while she drove.
"Where are we going?" Lana heard Liam.
"Hmm, to a lovely place... Me and my friends always hang out there. It's a small hilltop with a breathtaking sunrise and sunset view. You'll see when you reach there later." Lana commented and focussed on driving.
The sun was about to set in a couple of minutes and she wanted Liam to see the breathtaking view of sunset, so she increased her speed a little.
It was not very long when Lana entered the car in her neighborhood. A sweet smile crept up on her beautiful lips while the car passed the houses of her friends, remembering a few beautiful memories of her treasured friends and the time they spent together.
Liam looked like he knew the place very well."Have you been here before?" Lana asked with curiosity. She was sure Liam had many clients around their neighborhood.
"Yeah, the Field Marshal lives here, right? I'm their family attorney." Liam commented.
"Oh, so you know Keira? She's one of my closest friends." Lana commented with a smile.
"No wonder..." Liam commented.
"What? No wonder what?" Lana beamed.
"You are both naughty and stubborn?" Liam hesitated. As much as possible he did not want to irritate Lana.
Lana laughed, then stopped the car and mumbled, "What's with the question mark? I'm guilty anyway. We're here. Come out of the car, be faster, the sun will set soon."
Liam went out of the car and followed Lana, who sprinted her way to the hilltop easily and sat on a bench. She signaled him to sit beside her and Liam followed her.
Liam's eyes were fixed at Lana. He was mesmerised by the beauty of the entire scene, including her.
Lana's beautiful face was reflecting the colours of the sunset and she glowed like a rising star at that moment. Liam blinked and looked at her once again, and this time he could see shining stars in her eyes. He was busy watching her celestial beauty at that moment when his concentration was broken by Lana's voice.
"There look at the beauty of the setting sun. I am sure you barely have time to watch the sunset or sunrise because of your busy schedules. So I brought you here with me today. Anyway, today, I'm lending you one of my secret places where I come when I need to relax myself... Look... Isn't it the most beautiful sight to see!" Lana enthusiastically pointed her finger at the view and Liam followed her gaze.
The sun was going down. It was a marvellous view to behold. He could not recall when he last saw the sunset and appreciated its beauty.
"You can cry your sorrows here or even shout your frustrations out, no one will come and disturb you nor hear you. I'll go back inside the car and wait till you pour feelings of your heart out." Lana murmured and stood up to give Liam his space to cry in an open area instead of the corners of his room.
She was about to leave when she felt Liam's hand on her wrist. Lana turned to face him and at that moment Liam pulled her gently towards him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his face on her stomach.
Lana was stupefied with his sudden action, and she just gulped. She did not dare move for a few moments. She somehow understood his predicament and knew he needed someone to share his moments with. She heaved a long sigh and unconsciously lifted her hand and stroked Liam's head, running her fingers between his silky soft hair to calm him down.
