Chương 59: Live A Happy Life
Lana stared at Liam in shock, and embarrassment was clearly written on her lovely face.
Liam narrowed his eyes at her and asked, "What's wrong? Do I have something funny written on my face?"
Lana gulped while her face unconsciously reddened.
To hide her embarrassment, she nodded and said, "There's morning glory near your eyes."
"A what?" Liam asked, not convinced. Lana slightly leaned as if looking closely in his eyes.
"Oh sorry, I'm nearsighted. I guess there's nothing in the close-up view," she innocently murmured and sat back down on her seat.
She was hesitant to ask Liam about those embarrassing moments so she better kept it in heart and took it to her grave and not dig it out.
She bit her lips and cringed while the scene played in her mind like a flash screen. 'Darn!' she inwardly cursed. She remembered that she was the one who kissed him most of the time.
'I called him handsome GAY,' Lana continued to ponder in her memories, trying to recall if Liam answered her with her accusation of him being a gay.
'Hold on! It was him who kissed me first!' She silently defended with squinted eyes, but then she couldn't afford to confront Liam because he could counter her by simply saying that she kissed him back multiple times.
She was in that deep thought when their order came.
"Why aren't you eating? I thought, you're hungry?" Lana heard Liam speak. She gave him an awkward smile before she touched her breakfast.
"Where are we going by the way? Is it to meet Mrs. Gale Ming?" she asked next, trying to erase the recollection of her memories of that night. She remembered Liam said that they would focus on her case since the trial would begin soon.
"Do you personally know her?" she asked next and Liam raised his head to look at her for a few seconds and simply nodded.
Lana pouted her lips because Liam was too quiet to handle and she didn't get any chance to pry further in the matter. It was like he did not want to disclose anything about Miss Gale and him, except if it was about the case, so she thought maybe she would ask Jorge about this later.
But that silence did not stop her from talking.
"You know, that Gilbert Ming seemed to be a good person. He has no enemy. He has a lot of charity foundations and is very famous for helping others. He is quite generous to people too, so I wonder who would dare murder him and frame it to his wife? It said, he has a good relationship with his family as well." Lana casually commented.
"He was quite a catch for any woman. So first I thought there could be a third party involved or something like that, but surprisingly, he never had a girlfriend since birth or been in a scandal with any other women. So they say Miss Gale was really lucky for having such an almost perfect man. Him being handsome and young was an added bonus.
They looked perfect in the photos, too much in love with each other, handsome and beautiful, very loving and adorable couple, as what others would remark. I think it's because of money. We should check more on his siblings and relatives. I agree that it's a framed up case. Poor Mrs. Gale…
She lost her dear husband in a brutally tragic way and at worst the real culprit is still out there making her the scapegoat. I really hate it when they use a naive woman like her for their crimes." Lana added before drinking her coffee.
She too felt so engrossed in the case and vowed to do everything she could to help Liam prove Mrs. Gale's innocence.
"Can we please have a quiet breakfast, Lana?" Liam dryly commented.
Lana's mouth twitched with that dull response, so she kept her mouth shut rather than talking to a statue.
After breakfast they headed to the detention center. Lana went out first but was startled that Liam was still in the driver's seat and had not even made any gesture of coming down so she opened her door and asked, "Why are you not coming out?"
Liam sat there without moving. His hands were still on the steering wheel and his eyes were fixed on a spot in front of him as well.
"Liam!" Lana called again. "What's wrong with you?" she murmured.
She went back inside and snapped her fingers in front of Liam's face. "Hey!!! Are you okay?" she probed.
Liam finally went back to himself and answered, "Yeah, I'm good. Let's go."
They both then went out of the car and walked inside the detention center together. They showed their papers and approval for meeting Mrs. Gale and were escorted inside the waiting room. There they waited for Mrs. Gale Ming.
Soon, a beautiful woman in a prisoner's outfit with handcuffs was escorted inside. Her head was lowered, and an officer guided her to sit on a chair.
Lana saw the woman was in very low spirits and she didn't even bother to look at the people who were there to see her. Gale heaved a long sigh before sarcastically muttered, "What's the sense for a pro bono lawyer to help in this hopeless case with no evidence in my favour."
Lana could sense how hopeless she was with those words and tone of her voice. She didn't even give them a single look and a few tears were already visible on her face.
"You said you will live a happy life… What's this now?" Liam murmured with an aggrieved expression.
Hearing his voice, Gale suddenly lifted her head, and shock was visible on her face. Her eyes darted at Liam in terror and she panicked a little when she saw him sitting in front of her.
"Liam?" she said in a raspy, doubtful tone that almost came out as a whisper to them.

Chương 60: The Only One Who Can Help You
Gale's mind was in a state of shock and her eyes widened when she recognised the man before him. She looked perplexed, unable to believe that she was seeing Liam sitting right before her eyes.
'Is it really Liam?' she mused, blinking her eyes several times to make sure she was not hallucinating. She pinched her hand and felt the pain. She was not dreaming or hallucinating. It was really Liam.
"Liam," she murmured once more. It was really Liam, sternly looking with a hint of contempt in his eyes for her. Gale's eyes unconsciously welled up with tears. It was really him. Liam…
How many years had passed already since she last saw him? Five, six or seven years? She lost track of time already. She felt happy, yet she was filled with a wave of fear, not understanding the reason for his presence.
Gale's eyes drooped down, and she wished the ground to eat her wholly at that point. She imagined meeting Liam someday, but not even in her wildest dreams she had imagined that she would meet him in the kind of situation where she was in right now.
The man who made her his most precious possession at a time and offered his life, his happiness and everything to her was standing before her eyes. And her miserable state was nothing she could be proud of or anything that she could show off to him about.
'Why is he here today? Is it to mock me and show me how miserably I ended up by not choosing him?'
"Are you here to mock me? To laugh at my situation I am in now?" she whispered, voice shaking. Her body too was shaking in mixed emotions because this was the last thing she expected to happen. She clasped her hands tightly below the table to control her trembling.
Liam's eyebrows lifted hearing those words from Gale before a disappointed grin appeared on his face.
"Dumb you always were, but did you become deaf also after staying for a few days inside the bars? Or have you lost your sense of judging people completely? Didn't the officers brief you about your pro bono lawyer coming over?" Liam snapped.
Gale's face paled then she whispered, "You mean you will handle my case? The pro bono lawyer who offered to take up my case?"
Liam did not answer, but his silence confirmed it. Gale gulped and added, "But why?"
She bowed her head down, looking at her hands. Her head shook and she could not dare give even a proper look at Liam. After all those years of no contact and keeping no news of each other, he suddenly showed up in front of her like this? What else did he expect her to say? Isn't he here to slap her with retribution of the bad karma she obtained by making him sad?
Liam's jaw tightened. He hated it when Gale bowed her head like this. She was still so weak. She had not changed much! No wonder she happily stepped in the trap laid for her, without seeing it coming. She was an easy scapegoat for the culprit. She had no one to defend herself since Gale was an orphan, a nobody in their eyes who could be used to get their aim.
"Why? You want to know why? It is simply because I'm the only one who can help you at this point of time. You married for money one day and look where it landed you today." Liam hissed with a clenched jaw and Gale wanted to cry out loud but suppressed herself.
Liam was right. She was probably facing retribution for breaking his heart, but he was wrong on one thing.
"I married him because I loved him too, Liam. I still love Gilbert," Gale defended, trying her best to control another tear from falling, recalling the tragic ending of Gilbert always gave her pain in her heart. Gilbert was her everything.
She bit her lips, afraid that her words were like an axe cutting through Liam's heart again. It had been years already since she first met Liam in her country. Gale drifted back to the time when she first met Liam.
She worked as a waitress in one of the beach resorts at the Capital City of country V. She accidentally bumped into Liam and spilled the drinks on her tray at him. She had never met a man as handsome as him. Tall, mysterious and masculine. He looked so prominent and dignified.
He was not staying in their resort, but she often saw him picking up a VIP guest booked at their resort. She felt bad for accidentally spilling on his shirt and spoiling it, so she bought another shirt that day and gave it to him when he came next time.
Liam was an aloof man, but she caught his attention by her simple caring gestures, like offering a treat of a cup of coffee as an apology as well for the unpleasant encounter. Well, she always served him coffee she noticed he liked before even ordering it whenever he was at the restaurant.
She had a good and harmonious relationship with him, and eventually they became a couple. She was so happy seeing him smile and laugh whenever he was with her. For some reason, Gale wanted Liam to be happy. They kept meeting and remained as a couple for almost two years.
Liam was her first man whom she shared everything with. He knew all her dreams because Liam was always there by her side, supporting her in all her endeavors.
She knew little about Liam. He was always secretive and didn't like to speak about himself and his family. They were a couple and Liam was very protective of her, but she was sometimes afraid of talking to him as his replies were always short and whenever she asked about him, he stiffly refused her answers... but she felt secure whenever she was with him.
He was from country D and he would often leave whenever his Boss needed to get back, but most of his time was spent on her.
She was not aware of who Liam was at that time, but he said he was into a small business.
Gale knew how Liam loved her deeply. He had already planned everything for them. He was so sincere and genuine to her to the point that he proposed marriage and wanted to bring her to his country to meet his family but she told Liam that the two of them should still wait because she felt she was not ready for the marriage.
Everything seemed so perfect until Gilbert came into her life like a hurricane.
