Chapter 234: Abandoned

"I'm sorry?" Liam asked, a little confused at the way she spoke.

The woman shook her head and said, "My assistant is with me, she just went to the restroom. You guys can leave me here. I'm really fine."

Liam insisted that they stayed until the woman's assistant arrived.

"Are you two in a relationship?"

"Husband and wife, we are married" Liam proudly answered.

"Oh, you both look good together. Such a beautiful couple." The woman complimented. Her eyes never left Liam, who was becoming uncomfortable with her constant gaze.

"Madame," the assistant finally arrived so Liam and Lana left.

The woman stared at their back and tears fell from her eyes. Cherry heaved a sigh and handed her some tissue. "Here, madame..." she whispered as she sat in front of her.

"He grew up so well, Cherry… Without a mother..." Cherry heard her boss whisper.

Lana felt Liam suddenly quieted down after they left the bakery and did not speak during the entire ride home from there.

"Are you okay?" she then asked as soon as they got out of the car.

Liam looked at her and put his one arm on her shoulders and replied, "Yes, love. I'm good. Why?"

"You look like something is bothering you after we left the bakery."

Yes, he suddenly felt uncomfortable with how that woman was staring at him in the bakery. Her eyes looked a little familiar… But... that was impossible…

"Could it be…?" he unconsciously whispered with a dark face.

"Huh?" Lana asked as they walked inside the house.

"Later, love, I will tell you, but first let's go and greet mom. She's been waiting for us," Liam whispered as he gave Lana a smile. He tried to remove the idea from his head because for him it would be such a waste of time to even bother or think of the woman who abandoned his family.

Liam composed himself and gave a bright smile to his mother-in-law, who was approaching them.

Meanwhile, at Luo's residence, Luo just got back home after doing some field work. She finished work a little early that day and decided to join her family for lunch since she passed by their home along the way.

She went directly to her room when her mobile phone rang. It was Liam on the other line. He called her to inform her that Lana would not proceed in joining Yao's legal firm.

"Ohh… You mean Lana will no longer come to Yao. Urgh, so what's the point of staying there? No worries… I'll go back to the firm as soon as possible." Luo said on the other line.

After a little more talking, the call ended.

She heard knockings in her room before the door opened.

"Dear, lunch is ready. Come down and eat." her mother said.

"I'll be there in a minute, mom." she answered.

She clicked her tongue as she stood up and whispered with a wide grin, "Too bad it's time to go back, I'm enjoying my time bullying the new boss."

She was about to go down when her mobile phone rang once more.

"Yes, any good news this time?" she asked her friend who was good at hacking a lot of files.

"Dude…?Who would have thought you would be this lucky." Vin commented with a chuckle. Luo wanted a file from almost thirty years ago. He even discouraged her that it would not be possible because for sure videos during those times would probably be destroyed already or corrupted after so many years of time.

But Luo insisted that he still should try to check it and even offered a very good price for the work done.

"I just sent you that file and the profile of the woman who left that baby on that doorstep. By the way, who is that baby, anyway? Is that you?" Vin already presumed it, but still it would be good to ask and confirm it directly with Luo.

"You don't have to know… You gossipmonger, since when did you start gossipping about the job at hand? I will wire you half of the money now." Luo retorted.

Vin laughed and said, "Hey, I'm not?like others okay. Consider me as your good and close friend. But anyway, thank you for the money in advance."

Luo then ended the call and went out of her room. She would look at those files later and first go eat with her family.

She smiled, seeing her dad back in his seat. He was recovering well, and she was so grateful to see him healthy.

"Hello dad, how are you feeling?" Luo hugged him and asked.

"I feel great, dear. Soon we can play tennis once again."

Luo's mother's face crumpled and said, "No! Don't be stubborn. Your wounds are deep and you almost died because of loss of blood…"

Her mother paused, recalling how the secret behind Luo's birth was revealed in the hospital.

Luo smiled and interrupted, "Mom, don't be strict that much. We will first ask the doctor of course if dad is already fit to work."

Her mother still nagged at her father, and Luo watched them enthusiastically.

She had already talked to her parents and informed them she already knew that she was not their biological daughter. She told them that she came to know about it all because she wanted to know more about herself, to find out about her parents and know how she ended up in their family.

She did not want to find out about her biological parents because she wished for her own family. It was not important to find them for anything else, because she was already happy with her parents and as a family of three with them.

But a part of her was curious to find out her own origin and to know why they abandoned and left her alone like that. So she asked her mother and found out that someone had left her on their doorstep while she was still a small baby. They did not have a child due to her father's medical condition, so at that time they kept her and arranged legal matters on how to adopt her legally as their daughter.

They kept that fact a secret from her because her parents thought it would not be necessary for her to know since for them she was more than their own blood. She was their one and only treasure, a blessing that God granted them one night silently.

She felt terrible being abandoned like a stray cat by that person. She wanted to find him or her so she could show them how good her life was right now. She would even thank those heartless bastards for leaving her there like that in a family that loved her wholeheartedly.
