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

Chapter 61A Pitiful Woman

"Doctor! How is my friend doing now!?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Nina’s face was full of anxiety. Her voice wavered from excessive worry.

"Hurry up and tell us!" Liam growled gruffly. His menacing appearance made everyone's heart stop.

"The patient suffered a burn to her lens. However, we were able to repair it in time. The operation was a success but we will need to monitor her as she recovers."

"Okay. How did she end up with a burn to her lens?" asked Nina. That was exactly the question on Liam's mind.

"The patient’s eye came into contact with an irritant substance. She just had LASIX surgery done not too long ago and her recovery was a little poor. Couple that with the substance, her eyes were severely damaged as a result."

"Irritant substance? How could that be? She was talking to me over the phone before she was injured. She was perfectly fine!" shouted Nina.

“After our lab analysis, we have determined it to be alcohol."

"Alcohol!?" Everyone was shocked.

"In fact, it was highly concentrated alcohol," the doctor

continued.

Everyone exchanged looks. How could Anna's eyes have come into contact with such highly concentrated alcohol?

The doctor flipped the file in his hands then handed it to Daniel. "This is the lab report. If the patient's family members have suspicions about how the patient was injured, you can lodge a police report and have them investigate the matter. This was because the alcohol also contained formaldehyde which can cause blindness which made things worse.

The doctor did not go on because he did not know how the injury occurred. Was it because Anna was careless, was it an accident or was it because someone had tried to harm her? In the end, the final decision lay with her family. They would decide whether to investigate the issue or not.

Daniel looked at the file in his hands and suddenly felt lost. The doctor's meaning was very clear. Anna's injury was no accident, but who could have wanted to harm her!?

If Daniel initiated an investigation, the media would b e all over this and it would ruin the reputation of the Hamiton family!

If this went poorly, it would affect the confidence of the people in the Lincoln Group!

Anna was about to take over the Lincoln Group. With this latest event, it made sense to suspect that

someone with ulterior motives was trying to stop Anna from taking over the company.

Daniel could not guarantee that Grandpa Lincoln, who was abroad, would not place his suspicions on Daniel himself.

In that instance, Daniel had considered many possibilities and subconsciously squeezed the laboratory report in his hands.

Chloe was a little panicked, "Anna was in her room the whole time. Who could have harmed her? It's not possible!"

Nicole rushed to speak, "Why don’t we wait til Anna wakes up to ask her what on earth happened?"

Bryan anxiously asked the doctor, "Will she lose her sight?"

If Anna lost her sight, would the Lincoln Group let a blind person take over the company?

Liam's deep eyes swept across everyone in the room indifferently. His sharp gaze completely saw through everyone's inner thoughts.

The doctor said, "The patient will need to stay in the hospital to recover. The extent of her recovery is hard t o predict for now."

Bryan instantly felt his heart sink. The atmosphere seemed to have darkened and he seemed to have lost his spirit.

Liam radiated a chilling energy which caused the

surrounding temperature to drop. With his current status, he was in no position to speak and could not call for this matter to be investigated. However, he was very clear about Anna’s predicament now!

Apart from Nina, no one truly cared for her.

She was truly a pitiful woman!

Liam's heart abruptly tightened and his iron fists slowly clasped together. His woman would not need the people around her to care for her. All his loving care would be more than enough for her.

Anna was sent to the intensive care unit from the operating theater. Everyone rushed to see her still unconscious form.

Liam used his identity as an elder in the family to take a look at her. Anna was in a blue hospital gown with white stripes. Her slender arm was exposed and under her fair skin, her green veins

could be seen clearly. A light blue blanket was pulled up to her chest level, covering the rest of her lovely figure.

Her beautiful, small face was extremely pale at the moment. Her watery, crystal-like beautiful eyes were bound in layers of snow-white bandages. The slight swelling in the area soundlessly revealed how swollen her eyes must be.

In her current state, she was completely stripped of all her strength. She looked so weak that it made his heart bleed.

Liam felt a strong urge to pull her into his arms and hold her dearly.

Daniel had been observing Liam this whole time. He noticed off-handedly that Liam’s eyes seemed to be filled with a hint of pity and started to feel a little suspicious.

Even though Liam was Bryan's uncle, he was not close with Anna and the entire Hamilton family.

If he had shown up to visit Anna merely to represent his family, a look would have sufficed. However, for him to stand guard there, refusing to leave...

Nicole also found it strange. According to Mr.

Ackman’s cold and ruthless personality, he would not stand for ceremony. Yet, here he was lingering by her side, refusing to leave!

Liam's continued presence made everyone tremble in fear, hardly daring to breathe in case they might trigger the wrath of this great god!

Nicole glanced at Nina, who had been fussing around Anna’s bandages since the beginning, and said, "Anna is okay now. You should head back. Thank you for your help today.”

Nina swept a glance at Nicole but pretended that she had not heard her.

Now that Anna had suffered such great harm, she needed to stay behind to look after her. Otherwise, Nina would not be able to stop worrying about how these people would mistreat Anna. 1

"Anna is resting. It’s not good to crowd her room. It’s enough to have her family here with her." Nicole continued meaningfully.

Bryan walked to Anna's bedside and gently held her hand. "Anna, you must get better quickly."

Liam’s frosty voice suddenly rang out, ruining the tender moment between Bryan and Anna.

"Bryan, go and ask the doctor once more about Miss Anna's condition!”

Bryan rushed to get up. “Yes, uncle."

Nina looked a little timidly at Liam and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ackman, can I stay here to look after Anna?"

Liam’s frown softened. He suddenly found a reason to stay here. He was Anna’s tutor. It was perfectly understandable for a concerned tutor to stay by his student's side.

"Of course you can! You're Anna's classmate. Look after her well. You’re both about to graduate. It's best that she recovers quickly so that this won't affect her studies!" Liam delivered his words in an extremely teacher-like manner.

"Yes! I’ll take good care of Anna, Mr. Ackman!"

Nina deliberately stressed the tone on Mr. Ackman to emphasize to Daniel and Nicole that Liam was now Anna's tutor. If they planned to bully Anna from now o n, they would need to consider who Anna’s tutor was!

Chloe and Nicole exchanged looks and quietly hung their heads.

Liam gently gazed upon Anna lying in bed. His gaze gradually turned towards Chloe who seemed uneasy, but his words were directed at Daniel.

"Miss Anna achieves stellar grades at school. All the lecturers and tutors regard her highly. It's shocking for an accident like this to occur so close to her graduation."

Daniel quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Anna has always done well in school."

Chloe felt ill-at-ease under Liam's stare and timidly took a step back.

Liam took a step closer to Chloe. His tone was as cold a s an iceberg. "Were you at home when Miss Anna sustained her injury?"
