Lana visited Miley who immediately ran to her and hugged her as soon as she entered her office. Lana was crying and so was Miley.

  "I'm glad you are back sis," Miley said, sobbing. Lana felt so overwhelmed that all she could do was whisper, 'I'm sorry…I'm so sorry' repeatedly.

  "Shhh. All that matters right now is that you're back." Miley added while sniffing. She was very grateful that Lana came to her.

  As soon as she came back to her senses, Miley excitedly pulled Lana to sit on the couch.

  "Miley I'm really sorry. I want to apologize to Jorge and father as well but I am too embarrassed, especially to go and see father. I don't know how to face him or even whether I should directly visit him at the Sy mansion."

  Miley held Lana's hand and cleared out all her doubts, "Father understands you, Lana. Jorge as well. Actually, we all do. Although we, of course, would have preferred it had you stayed with us and let us help you in coping up with everything that happened back then. Father will be very happy to see you sis. How about dinner later?"

  Lana nodded and with a smile said, "Thank you, Miley."

  "It's nothing sis. Did you meet brother Liam already?" Miley asked and Lana nodded.

  "He's mad at me…" Lana helplessly whispered.

  "Don't worry we will help you out. I will tell father to also call my brother for dinner. You see, he has been staying at his own apartment since last month and father has to bug him to come home, to eat dinner and sleep at the mansion with us at least once a week." Miley commented.

  The two women talked a lot more and Miley was very keen to find out Lana's whereabouts while she was away, so much so she spent hours with Lana, catching up.

  Hours flew by so fast that Miley did not let her go and pulled her to go directly home where their father was waiting.

  Lana felt so nervous. She was too embarrassed to face her kind father-in-law.

  Miley held her hand to go inside the mansion as they arrived. She looked around and tried to control the tears that were on the verge of flowing out of her eyes. She was back in a place she could call home because the people who lived there gave her warmth and security.

  She saw her father-in-law approaching them and he immediately hugged her.

  "Oh, dear… Welcome back…" Lana heard him whisper while he stroked her back with his hand as if he was comforting her by saying that it was okay.

  Lana cried… She had been crying all day, yet there were more tears coming out of her eyes.

  It was exactly like meeting Miley, she felt safe and guilty all at once, all she could repeatedly whisper was, 'I'm sorry father'.

  "It must have been hard for you, don't feel embarrassed we understand you well, my child…" her father-in-law whispered. Yes, she would keep calling him father-in-law in her mind because for her she could never accept anyone else as her father-in-law except for the man who was hugging her right now.

  "Come child…" Senior Sy said and urged Lana to come and sit with him in the living room area.

  He wiped the tears on Lana's face and with a smile said, "I'm glad that you are finally back. Things may not be as easy as they were with us, with my son but I want you to know that all of us are not mad for what you did. But I'm hoping that you have choosen to stay with us instead and give us a chance to figure things out together."

  Lana looked at her father-in-law and started to pour out and explain to him why she left. She told him everything and how she coped up with the pain and trauma. She felt Miley rubbing her back.

  "I'm really sorry father, for being weak. When I decided to finally return… I vowed to myself that I will no longer be that weak woman. I will work harder to be a better person and I will do my best to win Liam back. I know how badly I hurt him with my actions, I promise I will never put him in that position again…" Lana whispered, stuttering, while she wiped the tears in her eyes.

  "It's okay. What matters is that you learned a lot from this and you became a stronger person to face everything. I would like nothing more than for you to return to us dear, but Liam will be the one to decide when that happens, not us. However, we want you to know that you will have our support throughout whatever it is that you intend to do…" Senior Sy stated because he knew his son still loved Lana.

  Soon enough, dinner was ready and laid out, but Liam did not arrive. Lana enjoyed her dinner with everyone. She also congratulated Jorge and Miley at their wedding, which she had missed. The wedding day, when she was also supposed to have a formal wedding ceremony with Liam.

  "You have to be patient with Liam, Lana. But I'm sure everything will soon turn out to be good as long as Liam sees your sincerity to be back in his life. But I must say… Liam is like a big fish right now, every family is eyeing him for their daughters. I honestly managed to drive away some…" Jorge stated.

  "Thank you, Jorge. I'm really grateful for you all, for this family. Everyone is too good, I feel like I don't deserve this kindness," Lana could not help but voice out.

  "Ok, that's enough and let us all focus on having this wonderful dinner, together." Senior Sy commented with a smile.

  The dinner went well and there were a lot of things they talked about during the time when she was away. Lana wanted to stay with her family, she hated even the thought of leaving but it was already very late so she stood up to leave so that they could finally rest after the long day they had.

  "Feel free to come anytime you want Lana." Senior Sy commented and Lana expressed her gratitude. Miley walked her through the door.

  "Don't worry, he's just playing hard to get. I will tell you his address and the passcode to his new apartment so you can crash there anytime you want." Miley whispered.

  Lana bit her lip. She wondered if she could extend her shamelessness to that point. But she knew that she had to try that.

  "Sis, the password is your birthday," Miley said before she went inside her car.

  "Thank you so much, Miley," Lana whispered. She went straight home but felt uneasy. She did not know what came on to her that she immediately grabbed her baggage and drove to Liam's apartment.
