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

Chapter 80 Gave Up Struggling

Anna took a deep breath and slowly defrosted the frozen smile on her lips. She maintained her perfect posture.

"Mr. Ackman, why are you here?"

Liam was a little more used to seeing her like this so h e pushed the meal table towards her bedside. "You must be hungry. Have something to eat."

Anna smiled softly. "I'm alright. I'm not hungry."

She was already full from all the pent-up rage inside her!

"I don't want anyone to say that I'm mistreating a patient!" Liam placed all the dishes on top of the table.

"Hurry up and eat." He ordered.

Anna smiled as she shook her head gently. Her voice remained calm and pleasant. "I'm not hungry."

Liam wore a cold expression on his face. "If you don’t eat, how will you have the energy to continue throwing crazy fits?"

"..." Anna softly curled her hands into fists but slowly released them. She kept her smile going.

As soon as she smelt the aroma of the food, Anna realized that she was ravenous. After all, it had been a full day and night since she last had anything to eat or drink. She was a little conflicted because she wanted t o eat then have a good night's sleep.

She reached out her hand for a fork but heard Liam say, "Open your mouth, I'll feed you."

He wanted to feed her!

"Let me do it myself.” She smiled modestly but her expression showed that she believed that there was n o such thing as a free lunch.

Anna’s hands fumbled around, wanting to do everything herself. However, Liam caught hold of her slender wrist.

"You have two choices. The first one is to let me have the fork and feed you. The second is for me to feed you with my mouth. The choice is yours!"

What a ridiculous choice!

"Can't I have a third choice?" Anna waved her hands." I can feed myself."

"No, you can't. Do you even know where the food is?"

"Yes, I can feel for it."

"The only thing you need to touch with your hands is me." He pulled her little hand and placed it on his strong abdominal muscles.

Anna wanted to take back her hand but it was firmly held by Liam.

She simply stopped struggling. She needed to control her temper!

After all, she would only get burnt if she played with fire. If Liam wanted to play with fire, she would fulfill his wish!

However, was she the first woman in history that Liam had ever fed personally?

Anna settled down and became docile, allowing Liam t o feed her.

"How does it taste?" Liam looked at her in anticipation as Anna took a bite and chewed. He looked like a little student who was waiting for praise with bright and sparkling eyes.

"It's nothing special." Anna shook her head. "Is there a new head chef in the hospital? It tastes like the cooking of a new person who does not know how to cook."

Liam's expression became rigid and he asked in a gruff voice, "Does it really taste bad?"

Anna nodded her head. "Yes, the broccoli has become all soggy and it falls apart in the mouth. The asparagus is too tough! The mashed potatoes are undercooked and have a grainy texture. As for the flavor, everything is a little too salty.”

"However, the chicken is passable. It's a little burnt in some areas and has a strong burnt flavor because of that..."

Anna was only speaking the truth. She did not expect

Liam to become angry.

"Stop eating it!"

Liam's expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"I'm still hungry,” protested Anna in a soft voice.

All of a sudden, Anna gasped. "This... Did you cook this?"

Liam's cold voice rang out, "Anna Hamilton, feeding you is a huge blessing in itself. Are you expecting me t o cook for you as well? Who do you think you are!?"

Absolute heartache!

Anna pursed her lips and stroked her chest above where her heart sat, as she continued to suppress her anger. She did her best to sound calm as she said, " You're right, Mr. Ackman. You’re the great CEO of the powerful Ackman Group. You don't have to lift a finger in life so why would you personally cook this for me?"

When she imagined a picture of Liam bustling in the kitchen, Anna could not help but shudder. It was not a harmonious sight!

"It's good that you know!" barked Liam.

He had gone into the kitchen to make her these dishes yet this little lady was nitpicking every little detail. He had not made her pay for the incident yesterday where she cursed at him and called him names!

"I'm satisfied. Thank you for blessing me with your help, Mr. Ackman. I'm going to get some rest."

Anna shuffled to lay down in her bed and pulled up the covers. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Liam saw that she looked pretty tired and did not say a word.

Anna softly spoke up, "Mr. Ackman. You're also a patient now. You should look after yourself. It's best if you don't always come to my room to bother me."

Liam's lips twitched viciously a couple of times.

What did she say!?

He was bothering her!?

Liam gritted his teeth and coldly scoffed, "You'd better not bother me either!"

Anna nodded her head obediently. “I definitely won't bother you."

Liam slammed the door on his way out.

Anna pulled the blankets tightly around her. In the darkness, she took deep breaths as she tried hard to calm the rampaging furnace inside her heart.

"Don't be angry. Don't be mad. Control yourself...”

Liam returned to his hospital room, pacing back and forth angrily.

Liam wondered when he, Liam Ackman, the lofty Ackman prince had started caring so much about making someone else happy!

That heartless, ungrateful little woman who was unable to tell the good from the bad!

Liam shouted angrily in the direction of Anna's room." You d*mn woman! Apart from me, take a look and see who else cares about you!”

None of her family members had come to the hospital t o see her, not even once. Despite that, she was still unclear about who was the person who treated her the best?

Liam faced the wall separating the two rooms and gave it two forceful kicks.

The visual of Anna's adorable appearance when her little mouth opened and closed as she ate suddenly came to mind. Liam's lips curled into a smile without him knowing.

He quickly chased away the image in his brain and growled in annoyance, "I should let everything run its natural course. You can end up in the grave that you've dug for yourself.”

"That way, she'll finally realize how important I am."

Liam did not head into Anna's room from then onwards.

He moved all his work into his hospital room and buried himself in a pile of documents. He used his work to keep him busy and chased away all thoughts about that little woman.

Liam’s hospital room had turned into his office. There would frequently be men dressed in suits walking in and out, giving reports about progress at the company.

No one knew who started it but the rumors about

Liam being admitted into the hospital because he was overworked spread. Many people scurried to visit him and take the opportunity to become acquainted with him.

Some people even rushed straight to the colorectal department as soon as they heard that Liam was in the hospital, only to find out later that Liam was in the eye department of the ENT ward.

Liam had always been too lazy to deal with sycophantic bootlickers. He made James turn away everyone who came to visit and did not receive even a single one of them.

He was so busy each day and even if he had the time, h e would need to keep a close eye on Anna. Where would he find the time to spare on those brown nosers!?

However, ever since Anna had told him to stop bothering her, he had not been into her room at all.

He frequently paced up and down the corridor and would occasionally glance in the direction of Anna's room. However. He could not see a thing. He felt empty inside, as though he had lost something.

James could see Liam suffering in this tortured state and felt anxious as well. It would not bode well if Liam continued in this manner. Yet, what could he do to make his boss feel a little better?

James was stumped for ideas.

Liam stood inside the hospital room and stared at the wall separating him from the room next door. He looked deep in thought.

James found it strange so he also followed along and stared at the wall.

Out of the blue, Liam said, "James, bring me an electric drill."
