Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 280 To the Hospital! Quick!

Bryan jumped off the sofa.

"Anna!”

Although he was trying his best to suppress his emotions, he couldn't hide the excitement shining through his eyes. Chloe could see them as clear as day.

Chloe jumped up too and wrapped her arms around his, but he made to fling her away.

"Bryan babe!"

Chloe tightened her grip.

Anna paused in the middle of her yawn, turned her head slowly to glance at Bryan and Choe in the living room.

Bryan smiled and rushed to say, "Anna, I heard you won first place in the practical assessment, congratulations.”

Anna saw Chloe’s warning gaze but still returned his smile.

"Thank you, Bryan."

Seeing her smile at him, Bryan felt like the boulder pressing down on his chest had finally been lifted. He was unbelievably happy, all the tension and stress sapped from his limbs.

"If there's a chance, I would like to celebrate with you please," he said.

Chloe gritted her teeth and tightened her grip around his arm, faking a cry of pain.

"Ouch, Bryan, my stomach hurts. Help me to the couch please."

"What happened? Why does it suddenly hurt?" Bryan held onto her tightly and helped her onto the couch.

Anna rolled her eyes at the display, went to the kitchen for her water, and prepared to return to her room and get away from the battlefield. At that moment, her father, Daniel returned home.

"Bryan is here! Anna is home too. Ha-ha, that’s perfect! We’ll eat as a family tonight!” Daniel laughed and waved Anna into the living room.

"I heard you performed well in the assessment and are confirmed to join the Ackman Group. This is good news, tonight we’ll open a bottle of wine and celebrate."

"Come, Anna, you need to thank Bryan for helping you place first too. He complimented you in front of Mr. Ackman countless times.”

"Come on!"

Anna shuffled forward, and said with a forced smile, "I s that true? Then I have to thank Bryan.”

She won first place by her own strength and ability, he had nothing to do with it.

His kind, innocent act was definitely convincing.

"Even though you have a bad history between you, we'll still be a family in the future. I hope you can all get along well." Daniel tugged at Anna, hinting at her t o improve her attitude towards him.

Anna didn't want to cause a scene, so she tried her best to smile at him.

Seeing her agree to forgo the past, Bryan was delighted, "Anna, once you join the Ackman Group, let me know if there's anything I can help you with. My family is quite close with Uncle Ackman."

"That would be great, thank you." Anna ran a hand through her long hair, continuing to smile.

Chloe's blood was boiling but she didn't dare throw a tantrum in front of her father. She could only silently let her anger stew.

Nicole walked out of the kitchen with the food in her hands, placed it on the table, and threw in a few words for Chloe.

"Even though Chloe and Bryan are not married yet, but they already have a child together. Bryan is part of our family now, we are also his parents, and Anna is his sister. We're a family."

Daniel laughed heartily, "Exactly! We're a family now! Come, let’s eat! Lisa, bring me the bottle of red wine I've been saving for special occasions."

Bryan followed Daniel into the dining room and purposely looked out for Anna, motioning for her to sit beside him.

Anna hurriedly walked to the seat opposite his and sat down, "This is my spot."

Chloe clenched her fists in anger, rushing to sit beside Bryan, and pulled him down into the chair.

"Bryan babe, I'm so happy that the three of us can eat together as a family." Chloe said and passed him his cutlery, "Quick, try my mother's cooking."

Bryan took his seat, looked at Anna sitting opposite him, and said, "I would like to have a drink with Anna, to celebrate her passing the assessment."

Daniel was delighted, "We will all share a drink in celebration of Anna’s achievement."

Lisa filled their glasses.

Bryan raised his fork and passed Anna some of the food on his plate.

"You should eat before drinking wine in case you get sick, this is your favorite fish!"This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Chloe grew jealous, sharp eyes shooting daggers at Anna.

Anna glanced at Chloe quietly, laughed brightly, and put the bite of fish into her mouth, chewing on it leisurely.

"Thank you, Bryan, you still remember what I like."

"Bryan babe, actually I like to eat fish too, pass me

some."

Bryan rushed to place some on her plate as well.

But to everyone’s surprise, the moment the fish touched her lips, she spat it out immediately.

"This is disgusting, what is this! I can't eat that!"

Anna knew Chloe was doing it on purpose just to make her uncomfortable, stopping her from enjoying her dinner.

Bryan didn’t know what to do, this was the first time h e was facing a situation like this. Even Chloe herself felt disgusted at the sight.

"Water, water, Bryan, I want water." Chloe pressed a palm on her chest, looking uncomfortable.

Bryan immediately handed her the glass of water and patted her back. Only then did her discomfort subside slightly.

"Chloe, what's wrong? Is it so hard for you to eat?" Bryan tried to maintain a calm and comforting tone.

"Sigh, this is a common occurrence after she got pregnant." Nicole sighed.

"Chloe, are you not feeling well?" Daniel was worried too.

Chloe shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm much better now."

Nicole scooped some salad onto her plate, "Eat this, maybe you'll feel better. No matter what, you need to eat more. The baby needs the nutrients."

Chloe took a bite, but spit it out again, "Why is it so spicy? Don’t you know I can't eat spicy food now?"

Nicole glared at Lisa, "Lisa, are you doing this on purpose? You know Chloe is pregnant and her stomach is very sensitive so she can't eat spicy food. How can you add so much chili to the salad!”

Lisa flushed red, "That salad is for Ms. Anna...”

Everyone knew Anna enjoyed her spices.

This whole scene was staged for Anna to watch.

Anna stiffened, "Enough! You knew there was chilly in the salad but still gave it to Chloe. You're aren't blind, are you?"

Nicole forced a smile, "I didn’t know it would be so spicy.”

Daniel was infuriated by the animosity in the air, his expression darkened, "Everyone quiet down and eat!"

Anna took a few bites quietly and stood up, "I’m done, I'll be in my room. Lisa, come to my room, I need you t o massage my legs.”

"Yes, Ms. Anna."

Anna walked upstairs without looking back.

Bryan stood up, staring at Anna’s retreating figure and asked, "Anna when are you reporting for duty at Ackman Group? I can drive you there, and introduce you to Uncle Ackman, so he'll look out for you."

Chloe gritted her teeth in anger, then suddenly placed a palm over her stomach in pain, "Ouch, my stomach hurts..."

Bryan and Nicole hurriedly held onto her hands, steadying her. Their faces pale from nerves and anxiety.

"To the hospital, quick!"
