Chapter 531: The Truth Prevailed
Meanwhile, Lana was in deep thought as she was curious about the scene earlier in the emergency room.
"I cannot help but wonder about how Kyle and Sarah came to know each other?" she could not help but comment as she walked towards the exit door with Liam where Andrew was already waiting for them with the car to drive them back home.
"I'm wondering that too but hearing Mrs. Jung… I guess the two got caught in a relationship…" Liam casually commented.
"Yeah, it seems complicated though, seeing the awkward expressions of Kyle. Anyway, I'll be happy as long as Kyle will find his happiness because he deserves it. Although I and Sarah had some bad encounters, I'm still hoping she will treat Kyle well if they indeed ended up being together…" Lana voiced out because Kyle was someone close and dear to her heart, more than a friend almost like a brother already.
"I'm sure everything will go well for Kyle so you don't have to worry. Sarah is a nice person, though she did indeed have an attitude problem, especially with the way she speaks. She's tactless most of the time, saying things without thinking," Liam commented because it was true. That was Sarah's weakest link that he would always point out, saying that the attitude of hers would be a problem for her work as a lawyer.
Lana nodded and heaved a long sigh. She suddenly chuckled afterward so Liam asked, "Why? What's so funny?"
"Well you looked so adorable a while ago when your possessiveness stirred up when I held Kyle's hands. I can't believe that you're still bothered by that simple gesture," Lana teased, recalling how Liam deliberately coughed to remind her and Kyle of his presence.
Liam's face reddened as he massaged his nape.
"So guilty!" Lana added more and Liam could only continue massaging his nape in defeat, realizing that his wife knew him well.
As soon as they were inside the car, Lana grabbed her mobile phone which she had turned silent ever since the trial started. It was only now she recalled it and her eyes widened seeing the number of missed calls she got from Noah so she quickly returned the call.
"Is everything alright? My phone was on silent so I only checked it now. What?! Alright, we will go there directly…" Lana said before ending the call.
"What happened?" Liam asked.
"Andrew, drive to Noah's house," Lana shouted before turning to Liam and said, "Luo fainted."
As soon as they arrived at Noah's house, Lana rushed inside. Noah already informed her that there was nothing to worry about but he wanted Lana to see Luo so Luo would not get worried as soon as she woke up. He wanted Luo to calm down after seeing her sister unscathed.
"She fainted as soon as she saw Gracy aiming a gun at you. The doctor said she's fine now. She was just shocked," Noah explained while looking at Luo who was still unconscious.
Luo was watching the live telecast of the trial with him when she saw Gracy aiming a gun towards Lana. All the cameras were focused on Gracy so everything she did was broadcasted live as well. Luo screamed and was hysterical when the gun was fired and soon she passed out and lost consciousness.
She had just got to know about her sister with whom she was having a good relationship. Luo would often tell him how happy she was when she found out about her blood relationship with Lana. She liked Lana so much and worried a lot about her.
Noah sighed, it was a good thing and a wise decision on his part to not let his wife attend that trial physically given how bloody and dangerous it turned out. He was only glad that Lana was safe and unharmed.
Lana sat beside Luo and touched her sister's hand and held it lovingly as she raised it to her cheek.
Luo gently opened her eyes and abruptly sat seeing Lana beside her.
"Oh God, are you hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?!" Luo burst, inspecting Lana's body from head to toe.
Lana smiled at her and whispered, "I'm sorry for making you worry so much sis. It's all over now don't worry… We won and Gracy paid the price for all her crimes. The police shot her when she didn't drop the gun. She died on the spot."
Luo, with teary eyes, touched Lana's face as she whispered, "I thought I would lose you…"
Lana gave her a reassuring smile, followed by a jest, "Hey… Didn't you witness how your sister fights? I won't die that easily so stop worrying about me. We can finally be at peace now Luo, so concentrate on being happy and don't take any stress. It's not good for your baby's health as well."
Luo nodded and then pulled Lana for a tight hug while she whispered, "I'm so happy that you are safe. Thank God…"
"You two should eat your dinner here. I will ask the helpers to cook…" added Luo and Lana agreed.
Meanwhile, at the morgue, Ram together with Chelsy took care of Gracy's body.
"This is the least I can do for her father, who was a close friend of mine. It's really sad that her demise was a tragic ending like this…" Senior Sy could not help but comment while they waited for Gracy's body to be cremated.
Chelsy patted his back and whispered, "Yeah it's sad… She was still young and could have experienced a lot more in life. If only she walked the right path as she lived her life instead of harboring a grudge and hatred in her heart she wouldn't have ended up this way. May she rest in peace…"
Ram heaved a long deep frustrated sigh and could not help but inwardly apologized to his friend, 'I'm sorry it ended up like this…'
After the cremation, he had Gracy's ashes in an urn and buried them beside her father's grave.
Ram and Chelsy were already on their way home when Liam called and asked for an update for her body.
"It's done, son. Her ashes are now beside her father's grave. We are now heading home…"
"Thank's father. Lana and I will eat dinner here with Luo and Noah. Luo fainted and Lana wanted to stay with her for a while…"
"I understand son. Finally, it's all over now..."
"Yes father," Liam answered with a sigh of relief. Bill would not find a way out of the punishment for his crimes no matter what he did. He even has to face the trials for other cases from the rest of the victims...
Liam was glad that justice was served and the truth prevailed in the end.
