At Sy Building

  That morning Luo took the initiative to go see Liam in his office.

  Noah narrated everything to her last night and she could understand where her husband was coming from. She did not want the two men to have any misunderstanding between them. Mostly, she did not want people to misunderstand her husband. He had already suffered a lot since his childhood

  Yes, she was aware what Noah did was still wrong. He was but only a human, who like her sometimes could not get a hold of his emotions, and that was especially true due to the trauma he experienced in the past.

  Her husband needed healing for his emotional turmoil that he had gone through ever since he was a child and it would surely take him time to come out of it all because he had been keeping it all up to himself only.

  He had no one to guide him in his growing years since his father was away with that cruel and selfish woman.

  Brione, his sister, was his only driving force after his mother passed away. He did everything he could and tried his best to protect her for years until she was old enough to understand things and take the facts about what really happened back then.

  Luo stopped at Liam's door and exhaled loudly before opening it and entering inside.

  "Good morning… Coffee?" Luo greeted with a smile and raised her hand carrying Liam's favorite coffee. Liam closed the file he was reading and signaled Luo to sit on the couch as he stood up to join her at the opposite side.

  Liam knew why Luo was there so he waited for her to say whatever it was she wanted to say.

  Luo sighed once more and said, "I really want to apologize Liam for what happened last night. About what Noah did… It was wrong of him but somewhere I can understand where he was coming from, after talking to him last night I realised how badly injured his heart is because of what happened in his childhood.

  If you have time and if you don't mind I would like you to listen to what I have to say. I want you to understand his side too, because I really hate it that you two are having any kind of misunderstanding between you two."

  Liam stayed silent so Luo presumed that he was willing to listen to her, so she started telling Noah's story with every detail she heard from him with no less and no more. Liam patiently listened to her moves by the fact how Noah felt abandoned in his life.

  "I know what he did is still wrong and he knows that as well, but Noah is definitely going to work and am sure will progress fast in improving himself but he is still going to take his time in letting go of everything at this point Liam.

  He gradually became so eccentric as he grew up almost alone after his mother died without even the guidance of a parent. He himself had to become a parent to his sister Brione.

  I know harbouring hate and grudges is still not a solution for any problem that is why I wanna help him out to overcome his own nightmare. To let go of his resentment.

  I believe you yourself know how much this thing is easy to say but in reality hard to do. But I'm sure he will slowly get there… And I will help him in lifting all those burdens from his heart.

  I'm here saying all this to you right now, so that you can at least understand his side too Liam, how much he suffered after he lost his mother, how much the selfish act of his father made him lonely in this huge entire world.

  When a woman snatched everything away from him for fulfilling her selfish love, he was so broken and devastated and if he lived at that time then it was only for Brione.

  All I want you is to keep a rational approach towards him and not judge him despite what he did. But still, you're entitled to your own opinion…


  Again, I would like to apologize for what happened last night Liam. I'm sure Noah already reflected about it… But you will never hear him apologize. You know how egoistic men can be…"

  Liam shook his head and muttered, "Noah is such a lucky guy to have you Luo as his wife."

  Luo chuckled and replied in a jest, "I'm sure Noah will say the same thing to Lana…"

  Liam chuckled too and asked, "so what's your plan after leaving here?"

  "Hmm, stay home for a while now and simply be a housewife for at least a month. You see I want to have a baby too like Lana. I'm even older than her so I must hurry… they say it's hard to get pregnant as you age you know so I wanna focus on it first. Besides its the……" Luo suddenly halted.

  She was about to say that the baby or children could be a great help to make one' marriage more stronger and tightly bound. But she realized that was not the case for Liam's father and mother.

  "Anyway, I will not take much of your time and I also have to wrap everything before I leave so I will go now." Luo said as she stood up from her seat.

  Liam nodded and walked her out saying, "Thank you for taking your time in explaining everything to me. I really appreciate it…"

  Luo smiled then left. Liam released a deep sigh as he walked back to his seat. He could understand Noah's resentment. All of them were just victims of deceit. He wondered how that woman even managed to sleep peacefully every night.

  ********

  At Yu Ancestral Mansion.

  Assistant Cherry handed her madame her medicines as soon as she opened her eyes. She did not exactly know what was the medicine for but all she knew was madame should not skip a single dose of it everyday.

  "I think we should call Dr. Jin." She worriedly said while she helped her madame to get up from bed.

  Marlyn shook her head and weakly whispered, "It's not necessary."

  "Where is Tony?" Marlyn asked. Cherry was hesitant but Marlyn looked at her with a creased forehead and demanded, "where is he?"

  "He's in the library and in a serious talk with Brione madame." Cherry answered.

  Marlyn scoffed and muttered, "I bet everyone hates me now except for Tony."

  Cherry remained quiet because she also did not know what to say. All she knew was that madam had never stopped checking the daily reports about her children in this country. She had someone to send her daily updates about Liam and Miley.

  "Maybe my choice was wrong right Cherry? I always keep asking myself this question. What if I am given a chance to turn back time, would I make the same decision or would I rather choose a different path?"
