Chapter 165: Back Into Your Arms

Lana came back to her room after the dinner. She changed her clothes and got ready to go to bed. She was still waiting for Liam to arrive, and it was probably the first night that Liam was so late to be back. Her heart was uneasy, and she kept feeling annoyed for some unknown reasons.

"Stop thinking about it, Lana!" She scolded herself while she stomped her feet towards her bed. She laid down on the bed and stared at the ceiling absentmindedly. She was itching to know who the woman with Liam was.

She could not think of anyone but only Gracy. But her voice seemed different.

'Beers? She ordered beers, so they were drinking together?' She irritatingly mused.

The thought was making her restless. She did not like what she was feeling at all. She realized that ever since she woke up that morning, her thoughts and entire attention was focussed on Liam and his actions.

Then Lana decided that she should just sleep and go visit her apartment and Clyde the next morning. Maybe she needed to unwind and spend a day without Liam, or else she might be starting to obsess over him.

She closed her eyes and tried her best to clear her mind. She was about to sleep when she heard the opening of her door. Lana quickly rose and muttered, "Liam?"

"Dear, it's me."

"Mom? What happened? Are you alright?"

Her mother seemed to seek her in a rush while she tried to catch her breath.

"Did you try to call Liam?" her mother asked next in a worried tone.

"No, mom… He said he will be late, so I am just waiting for him. I told you that before dinner."

"I know that, but can you just check on him right now and call and ask him if he's okay? Where is his location right now?"

Lana knitted her brows because she was confused, realising how concerned and nervous her mother looked. She stared at her mother. She noticed that she looked extremely worried and even had a wrinkled forehead. She also looked pale.

"Mom tell me first what's going on? What's wrong. Why are you so worried?" she asked, alarmed.

"Dear Dami bridge had collapsed and there're many casualties. We often use that route to come home here. If Liam would be in a hurry to return home, he might have used the same bridge as a shortcut." Mrs. Huang stuttered, she was hoping Liam did not take the same route or at least he was still in another place at that point of time.

Lana felt her soul leave her body when she heard that news. She trembled slightly and quickly grabbed her mobile phone with her trembling hands and dialed Liam's number, but it only kept on ringing and he didn't pick it up. His no response to her call shook her from inside and her heartbeat raced uncontrollably while her face started to pale without her knowing.

"He's not picking it up mom…" she spoke anxiously, almost in a whisper with trembling lips.

Lana stood up and said, "I will go on the spot and check for him. He's still not answering."

"What? No. I will send our head of security to go there and find out instead. Try calling Liam again." Mrs. Huang insisted and she herself called their butler to instruct someone to get there.

Lana became more impatient and restless as she tried to call Liam several times but his phone went unanswered all this while.

"He's not picking up mom. I can't wait like this at home, I'll go and check mom." Lana breathed and rushed out of her room. She did not even bother that she was in her sleepwear. All she could think of was to rush to Dami bridge as soon as possible to see the situation and find Liam's whereabouts there, hoping Liam was not there in the injured people.

She had never felt that nervous in her entire life. Not even during her military missions where her own life was at stake. She could hear the loud thumping of her own heart while her body shivered. Even the slightest thought of Liam being on the bridge when it collapsed made her feel an inexplicable pain and discomfort in her heart.

She called Andrew and rushed to the hallway, but his mobile phone was busy.

She tapped her mobile phone several times, trying to call Liam's number once more.

"Please pick up…" she begged, almost crying while murmuring these words.

She was worried sick for Liam's safety and twisted her leg on the last few steps, causing her to trip and fall from the last few steps going down the staircase.

Lana was startled and knew she would fall down since she could no longer keep her balance. Her mind was too disoriented, thinking something bad had happened to Liam or something worse happened since he was not answering his mobile phone.

Instinctively, her eyes closed as she covered her head to make sure it would not hit the floor or the railing of the stairs because of the impact. But to her surprise, before she could fall down, she was met with a pair of strong arms with the familiar touch that she had been missing for the past few hours.

"Hey what are you doing trying to jump into my lap as soon as I enter the house? I like this way of welcoming me, Mrs. Sy. But on a serious note Lana, where are you running to in such a haste to fall helplessly on the floor. Since when did you become this careless?" Lana heard Liam's voice.

"Liam…! Oh, God! It's really you, Liam!" Lana burst as she opened her already moist eyes and stared at Liam's frowning face.

"What's wrong, Lana? Where are you rushing to at this hour? What is going on?" Liam asked, seeing the tears welling in Lana's eyes. He was taken aback and started to worry for her.

Lana was overjoyed to see him and tears suddenly started falling from her eyes, staining her cheeks and running down to her neck. Instead of answering his question, Lana encircled his neck with her arms, hugging him so tightly, overwhelmed by seeing him alive and safe standing in front of her.

"Oh God, thank God you're safe." Lana cried, sobbing continuously.

Liam gently pushed her to gape at her. He felt Lana's hand cupping his face and in the next second her lips pressed on his lips. It was a scene he wanted to experience over and over again where Lana was the one who would kiss him first.

Realising what she was doing, Lana broke the kiss. Her cheeks were red as she met Liam's gaze.

"Dami bridge… I thought you're there." she whispered, trying to open a topic and eased the awkwardness of the situation.

Liam now understood what was happening. He suddenly felt so happy, though it could be an inappropriate feeling since that tragedy at Dami bridge was really unexpected. He watched the news and saw many people were hurt and dead.

"I'm home safe and sound. Back into your arms…" he replied with a smile before he gave Lana a gentle kiss back on her lips.
