Chapter 402 - I’m Really Sorry (2/2)

”No!!!” Lana shouted. She was about to run to her but everything went dark and her body helplessly fell to the ground.

After a few hours, Lana opened her eyes. She was already inside the hospital room.

”Love, how are you feeling now?” she heard Liam ask while he kissed her hand.

”Mom? Where's my mom?” she asked and seeing her husband's expression, she could tell something bad happened.

”I want to see her! Where is she?” she yelled as her eyes started to get clouded with tears recalling how her mother was hit by too many bullets before her eyes. She was still hoping she could still survive it somehow.

She raised her body to stand up even though her body felt so weak and numb. Why was she feeling so numb?

”What happened to me?” she asked with a terrifying look. Something was wrong with her body. She did not receive any gunshot wound, why couldn't she feel her body?

Liam stopped her and said, ”Hon, you need to rest… Our baby…”

Liam could not continue further because it pained him to tell the devastating news to her wife.

Lana unconsciously caressed her tummy.

”No!” she hysterically cried.

”Please don't tell me I lost our baby?!” she almost yelled and her husband could not answer but she only saw her husband's tears fall from his eyes.

”No!!!” Lana screamed as she cried. Liam hugged her tightly while she wept so hard.

”I want to see mom. Liam please…” Lana stutteringly said. Liam's heart was broken. They lost their baby and now Lana's mother was in the hospital morgue already. He did not know how to deliver all of this bad news to his wife who just came to consciousness after.

”Alright. Calm down first…” Liam whispered as he gently stroked Lana's back and kissed her head. He wanted to take away all the pain in her.

”Tell me she is fine, Liam? Please tell me she's alright.” Lana asked. But she was afraid to hear Liam's answer. Her husband could not say anything so she wailed hard, getting a hint of the situation. It only meant that her mother was gone too and her husband did not know how to say it to her.

Liam did not know what to do so he only hugged his wife tightly and wept with her. He had a gunshot in his arms but it was nothing because his mother-in-law saved him from several bullets aiming at him and hit a lot of her vital organs. The doctors did all they could to save her but there was no hope.

”It's all my fault… I am sorry… I am so sorry mom…” Lana cried, repeating each word several times. Liam could not breathe at all when he felt the grievance and pain of her wife.

Lana's father died on the spot after receiving a lot of gunshots from the military forces. But two lives were taken from them during that bloody battle. Their unborn child and his mother-in-law.

”It's not your fault love…” Liam whispered repeatedly.

”I want to see her… Please Liam, take me to her...” Lana insisted.

Liam arranged a wheelchair and accompanied her to the hospital morgue where her mother was lying. He closed his eyes hearing the cries of her wife who hugged the lifeless body of her mother.

He got out of the room and slumped helplessly on the floor. He was crying quietly because it could have been him lying in there if Lana's mother didn't save him.

”I'm sorry mother… I'm really sorry… I couldn't even save our baby...” he whispered again and again as he sobbed.
