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

Chapter 62 I'm Not Budging

Chloe's knees nearly buckled when she was suddenly questioned by Liam. His cold expression was extremely terrifying and there was a lingering chill around him. It was like he came straight from the depths of hell, carrying the smell of death with him.

Chloe stifled her breath. She stammered in a wavering voice.

"I-I... I was in my room. I-I... don't know anything." Chloe frantically waved her hands.

Liam's inky-black pupils constricted. He easily saw through the guilt in Chloe’s heart.

"If you were in your room, how did you know that Miss Anna was in her room the whole time?”

"That's because... I-I... I saw Anna head into her room. I then went back to my room...I think that she was in her room the whole time..."

"In other words, you didn't see for yourself if she was i n her room the whole time?"

Chloe rushed to nod. "I-I.. didn't see her!"

"Were you and Miss Anna the only ones in the house?”

“There... there were also servants at home! It wasn't just the two of us... Mr. Ackman. I-I... I'm not lying. I don’t know anything.”

Chloe was about to burst into tears. She hurried to hug Nicole and sobbed, "Mommy, I really don't know anything... I'm also really worried about Anna... Daddy ... I'm truly worried about Anna..."

Chloe's tears began to fall. Nicole hugged her daughter, feeling heartbroken. "It’s alright Chloe dear.

I know you don't know what happened. Don't cry..."

"Mr. Ackman." Daniel smiled awkwardly. He could see that Liam was suspicious of Chloe. "The sisters have a good relationship. Why would Chloe do such a thing to Anna? We've always got along fine in the Hamiton family."

Even though Daniel also thought that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, he could not let an outsider like Mr. Ackman discover that their family was not as harmonious as they made themselves out t o be.

Besides that, Daniel truly thought that his family was harmonious all this while. Chloe was worried sick about Anna, how could she possibly have the guts to harm Anna?

Liam stopped. If he continued, everyone else would think that he was being brusque. Liam glanced at Nina. "You, follow me."

Niina followed Liam to the corridor outside the hospital room.

Nina thought that Liam was extremely cool and was protective over Anna. She felt like he was a rock that

Anna and herself could lean on. Out of nowhere, Nina developed a strange feeling of closeness with Liam. Despite this, his spine-chillingly cold aura still made her feel slightly afraid.

"Tell me everything that happened, in detail.” Liam’s voice was frosty.

Nina calmed her nerves and told him in great detail all the things that had happened.

"I was working my part-time job at the Earldom Club tonight. I had some free time so I gave Anna a call.

Everything was going well when Anna suddenly cried out."

"After that, I heard her scream out in extreme pain 'my eyes, my eyes.' My heart shattered to pieces when I heard her voice. I kept shouting to her over the phone. I don't know what happened but the call ended abruptly. I tried calling back but no one picked up.

That's when I immediately dialed 911."

"Oh, there's something else. Chloe entered Anna's room. She kept shouting Anna's name. It sounded like she was very worried about Anna. Yet... I still think we can’t absolve Chloe from this matter! She has always been extremely envious of Anna!"

Nina hung her head in chagrin. "Highly concentrated alcohol. I have no idea how that managed to get into Anna's eyes."

Liam frowned.

"Okay, you should head back. There'll be someone here to look after her.” "Mr. Ackman, won't you let me stay with her?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Liam looked at Nina coolly. Even though this little woman was truly concerned about Anna, her personality was too impulsive. It might not be a good idea to let her stay.

"You should still head back."

Nina disappointedly murmured, "Okay, make sure that person takes good care of Anna. Mr. Ackman... you're the only person who can help her now."

A feeling of joy abruptly overcame Liam.

He really liked that sentence.

He was the only one who could help his woman! It was not a job that everyone could do, to help a stupid woman clear the way.

After Nina had left, Liam reentered the room.

He sat down on the sofa inside the hospital room and put on a stance that seemed to say 'I'm not budging'.

He glanced at the little lady who was sound asleep on the bed. In his heart, he reached out his hand and silently stroked Anna's pale face.

She must have been in so much pain when it happened...

He suddenly felt a strong, intense pain in his heart. It felt like being sliced by a dull knife.

Nicole and Daniel exchanged looks. What was happening? Was Mr. Ackman planning to stay here?

Chloe suddenly threw herself to Anna's side. Her face was covered in tears and worry. "Anna, when are you going to wake up? I feel so heartbroken seeing you like this..."

Nicole also walked up. She wiped her tears and wore a sorrowful expression. "Anna, you must promise me you'll get better..."

Liam glanced at the crying mother-daughter pair and shouted angrily, "You’re too noisy!"

Anna and Nicole immediately went silent. 1

"How dare you make fools of yourselves by crying in front of Mr. Ackman!? What is this behavior!? Hurry u p and get out now!" Daniel hurried to reproach Nicole and Chloe.

Chloe sobbed pitifully. "Daddy, mommy, and I are just worried about Anna. Is Anna going to be able to see again? If she loses her sight, what will happen to Bryan? Will Grandmother Dawson let Anna

marry into their family? Anna will be heartbroken if that happens because she loves Bryan so much."

As soon as Liam heard the words 'Anna loves Bryan so much', he instantly saw red.

"Miss Chloe, it seems like you're very concerned about my nephew!"

Chloe instantly panicked. Tears began to gush out more fiercely from her eyes. "Mr. Ackman, I'm just concerned about my sister. I'm really afraid of anything bad happening to Anna.”

As she spoke, Chloe lunged into Nicole's arms and began to sob sorrowfully.

Liam stared cooly at the pretend show put on by the mother-daughter duo. The coldness in his eyes was even more frightening.

Bryan had just returned. As soon as he entered the hospital room, he could sense a chill rushing towards him. His body tensed up.

Bryan looked towards Liam and found that he was the source of the cold air. He could not help but shudder.

He had never had much contact with this uncle of his. Today, they went to the Earldom Club on official business. However, his uncle had not said a word to him from start till end. In fact, Liam treated outsiders more warmly than he did his own nephew.

Bryan somehow felt as though his uncle had a sense o f enmity towards him. However, Bryan did not know when or how he had offended Liam. Every time he met Liam's eyes, Bryan felt that he was put through an x-ray machine, as if nothing could be hidden from Liam.

"Uncle, the doctor said that the situation still needs to be monitored. He cannot give us an answer now." Bryan reported the situation to Liam respectfully.

Nicole hung her head and dried her tears. She hid the gleam of glee in her eyes.

Chloe’s eyes also shone with a glimmer of joy. If Anna did not recover fully, she might really lose her sight!

How could the great Dawson family accept a blind granddaughter-in-law!?

Daniel said, "Nicole, over the few days, could you get Lisa to prepare some food and send it over? Don't forget all of Anna's dietary restrictions."

"Danny, you can relax. I'll make sure that Lisa pays attention to this," replied Nicole.

"Liam abruptly got up and walked out.

When everyone saw that he had left, they all instantly let out a sigh of relief.

However, barely two minutes had passed before Liam returned. Everyone had just begun to relax when they instantly tensed up once again.
