Lana and Liam returned to the hospital as soon as they received their marriage certificate.

  "Are you staying in the hospital tonight?" Liam asked while they walked in the hallway.

  "Probably, but I have to get some things from my house before that……" Lana informed him.

  When they entered the room, Mrs. Huang was watching the television.

  Mrs. Huang's face brightened, seeing Liam was still with Lana. He had a distinct air of happiness around him and his eyes sparkled.

  "Dear, later take Liam for dinner and go home to rest. I really can manage. You can come back tomorrow once you have properly rested." Mrs. Huang commented, seeing Lana grabbing some apples to peel and cut for her.

  But she saw Liam immediately approached Lana and took the fruits from her, then signaled to Lana to go to her. The two looked so adorable that she could not help but giggle.

  Lana sat beside her bed and asked, "How are you feeling mom? Your surgery has been scheduled and will be held tomorrow evening, so you must rest well."

  "Tomorrow?" Mrs. Huang burst in horror.

  Lana pouted her lips, seeing how her mother's face turned white. She held her hand and gently squeezed it as if she was transferring her mother some strength with this simple gesture.

  "Time is crucial mom. You need to do the surgery as soon as possible and see this?" Lana commented. Raising her hand with the ring.

  "Oh, my… Dear…" Mrs. Huang gasped then she looked at Liam who gave her a sweet smile and a nod.

  "You mean you… two…" Mrs. Huang in awe breathed.

  "Yes, mom… We just registered our marriage so you don't have an excuse now to postpone your surgery anymore. Be strong and overcome that fear. You will undergo the surgery tomorrow evening." Lana mumbled, knowing her mother would still not be convinced that easily.

  "I know you, Lana. You've tried to play me several times already, like whenever I asked you to go on a date, you always have tricks around you. That ring is not enough to give me an assurance? What if you just come up with some terms in cahoots with Liam?" Mrs. Huang vocally expressed her assumption.

  Lana saw this coming. That was why she came up with registering the marriage and getting the certificate.

  She exhaled loudly before pulling out the certificate kept in her purse.

  "I knew you would say that so here…" Lana mumbled as she handled the marriage certificate to her mother.

  "Oh, goodness dear. I'm so happy at this rate. Congratulations to the both of you!!! Oh, I will have this laminated and hang it in our place!" Mrs. Huang burst out enthusiastically.

  "Mom… don't try to diverge the topic. Let's go back to the most important topic right now, your surgery. I have talked to the doctor, and she said there's a schedule available as early as tomorrow evening. I will confirm this schedule for you right now." Lana specified.

  Mrs. Huang nodded while dreamily staring at the marriage certificate. "This is good enough for now… Once I recover and become healthy, I will definitely plan for a grand wedding ceremony…" Mrs. Huang, feeling fulfilled, murmured.

  Lana's eyes rounded in terror hearing the grand wedding ceremony…


  "Mom, I think that's enough for now. You're being too greedy now… You know I don't like parties at all." Lana fired out with a crumpled face.

  "Dear what are you saying? A grand wedding ceremony is a must…" Mrs. Huang pinpointed.

  Lana was about to disagree, but Liam put his hand on her shoulder and gently squeezed it, signaling her to stop talking.

  "Mom, here eat some fruit. Let me take care of the ceremony, mom. I'm sure Lana will come into agreement with it. Let your son-in-law handle it." Liam stated to Mrs. Huang with a wink. Mrs. Huang nodded happily, trusting her son-in-law would handle everything nicely.

  Lana somehow got a weird feeling seeing how her mother and Liam were blending well with each other. She was almost non-existent when it came to any decision.

  "Lana, mom needs more encouragement at this point so let her win this time and don't contradict her words. If mom wants a grand wedding ceremony, then let's do it as soon as she's well. By the way, mom I will live with Lana in her place for now. Because she would definitely disagree to live with me in the Sy mansion…" Liam addressed.

  He pulled the moving table to put the fresh fruits he cut so Mrs. Huang could enjoy eating his masterpieces.

  Mrs. Huang looked at Liam adoringly and said, "Lana, I'm glad you have selected someone like Liam to stay by your side. You see… A man like him these days is really hard to find. You should treasure him and not let him out from your grasp by any means."

  Lana rolled her eyes, looking at how the two were having a great time combining their mutual thinking against hers.

  'Ya, too hard to find indeed… He is ganging against me already with my mom… such a traitor!'

  Liam heard Mrs. Huang's words and bent a little towards Lana. With his eyebrows lifted, he shamelessly said, "I guess you need to treasure me love since you will find no one as good as me…"

  Mrs. Huang burst out laughing, and Lana's face turned scarlet with both embarrassment and anger with the way he used his words.

  'Love? What the hell does he mean by using such words for me?' Lana silently mumbled.

  Time flew by so fast, and it was dinner already. Lana made sure her mother took a meal with her that night before she left with Liam to eat.

  "What do you want to eat?" Liam asked while driving. He dismissed Andrew and drove the car back to the hospital from the registrar's office. He wanted to celebrate, but he noticed how exhausted Lana was already.

  "I just want to go home, Liam," Lana tiredly whispered. A lot happened within just that day. Liam wished to live with her, meeting a seemingly double faced bitchy woman, her mother being hospitalized and diagnosed with cancer and last and most exhausting one…… getting married to Liam so suddenly.

  "Alright. Let's go straight home instead." Liam answered and drove to the road that headed to Lana's place.

  The car finally stopped and Lana unconsciously told Liam, "thank you," before going out of her car. She entered her house and helplessly slumped on her couch in the living area.

  Lana absentmindedly stared at a particular direction. Her eyebrows collided seeing Liam walking inside with his luggage. Lana subconsciously slapped her forehead.

  She forgot Liam said he would stay at her place starting tonight, but how the heck did he manage to come inside?

  "How did you enter?" Lana asked in disbelief.

  "Through the door…" Liam casually answered.

  "Of course through the door, but what I mean is, Liam, how did you open my door when it was locked." Lana grumbled.

  "Oh, that! I just entered your password, your birthday…"

  Lana: "……"???
