The Law of Attraction

Chapter 407: A Working Machine

A Working Machine

Luo came with Lana to her apartment from Mrs. Huang's graveyard.

"When did you come back?" Luo asked as she sat on Lana's couch in the living room.

"Just a few hours ago. Do you want something to drink? Maybe coffee or tea?" Lana asked but Luo pulled her instead to sit beside her.

"I don't want anything, Lana. I just want you to sit with me right here. I want to see you for a while. I was so lucky that I passed by your mother's grave before going home and ran into you." Luo commented with a sigh.

She wondered if Lana even planned to tell her that she was back in the country or not. However, she was still glad that she accidentally saw Lana in the cemetery, it was such a coincidence entwining the destinies of the sisters in such a magical way.

"Where did you go Lana? How did you survive there? How are you doing, though? Didn't you miss any of us here? I was worried sick something had happened to you when you were gone and was nowhere to be found!" Luo asked as she stroked the side of Lana's hair filled with emotions.

Lana smiled at her and said, "I should be the one asking you about your health. Why do you look so thin now? I heard you're pregnant. You should eat more and gain some weight."

Luo crumpled her face and grunted, "How unfair! How come you managed to get updates about my condition and I didn't even get a hint about your whereabouts, not even a news telling whether you are still alive or not!"

Lana sighed frustratedly, it slowly dawned on her how her actions affected people who cared so much for her. She raised her hand and gently wiped the tears on her sister's face.

"You're so selfish! You did not even give me the time to be an older sister for you properly. It was just a few days when I found out that we share the same blood and you suddenly disappeared? You didn't think even once about how I would feel losing my sister, I really hate you." Luo poured out her emotions while sobbing and Lana pulled her in for a hug.

"You even left that big burden of taking care of your inheritance. You… you…" Luo grunted. Lana gently stroked her back and said, "Yeah, I know, this sister of yours is such a dumbass selfish b*tch. I'm really sorry..."

Luo nuzzled her and with narrowed eyes, she beamed, "Glad you at least know that. You have a lot to make amends for, you know."

Lana had a soft smile and replied, "Yes ma'am. I will make up for everything now that I'm back. I will follow whatever you wish me to do."

Luo's mouth twitched as she mumbled childishly, "There's nothing I want other than seeing you happy, Lana... Mom Ana would want the same thing and you know that."

Lana nodded with her meek smile as tears also started to flow down from her eyes, "Yes big sister. I know that."

"By the way, I heard Liam will finally be meeting Mr. Chua's daughter tomorrow at lunch. You should stop that. Mr. Chua's daughter is very pretty but very cunning. I'm afraid Liam would soon get trapped by her." Luo was sniffing while informing Lana about Liam's rumored arranged marriage.

Lana chuckled. First Keira and now Luo.

"I guess all of my friends, including my own sister, are all spying on Liam's whereabouts, huh?" Lana commented in a jest.

"Of course… We were guarding your man well while you were away. We don't want you to lose someone you love just like that so all of us have teamed up in sabotaging any other woman trying to come in his life…" Luo confessed because that was true. Lana's friends, Keira, Drey and May, including her, were collaborating to make sure that no woman could get near Liam.

If Lana did not show up now, they were actually planning to sabotage Kenzie Chua's arrival at the meeting place also.

"Don't worry, I'm back now big sister," Lana reassured her with a smile.

Luo's face crumpled and scolded, "I feel so old hearing that big sister...?just call me Luo. I'm used to you calling me that."

Lana chuckled and said, "Alright… As I said, I'm back now so I will get him back by any means."

"That's my sister. Welcome back Lana," stated Luo, with a bright smile, she then hugged her sister warmly.

"Let's have dinner together along with Noah. I'll ask him to come here directly from work. We should celebrate. The prodigal daughter finally came back..." Luo whispered in a jest.

The next morning, at Sy Mansion, during breakfast...

"Bro, are you really going to accept that proposal of Mr. Chua?" Jorge exclaimed in a disagreeing tone.

"Why not?" Liam casually commented.

Senior Sy heaved a long deep sigh but he remained quiet. On the other hand, Miley focused on her food instead. She knew it was useless to give an opinion on the biased debate since she knew well her brother would still do whatever he wanted to do.

She realized that he would prioritize the proposal because he wanted to bring more investments and help the expansion of their family business. Money was all that mattered to him and feelings became an alien concept for him now.

Since Lana left, he had transformed himself into a working machine, more like a money minting machine. Miley felt bad for her dearest brother who had gone through the same ordeal of getting hurt by a woman again and again.

Still, she had mixed sentiments about everything that Lana did. She was in contact with Keira who had informed her that she had already found Lana and was going to bring her back by hook or by crook back to their country. Miley was sure Keira was the best when it came to convincing Lana for something.
