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

Chapter 69 The Wicked Prosper

"He was... at the hospital the whole time?" Anna asked Nina quietly.

"That’s right! He even asked me personally about what happened that day. He looked like he wanted to help you find out the truth. He’s more concerned about you than Bryan was!"

"Anna, do you think that Mr. Ackman likes you?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"How could he? He's Bryan's uncle. I’m sure he's only concerned about his students!" Anna's face instantly blushed. She quickly lowered her head as she explained.

"Mr. Ackman thinks that it’s really strange that your eyes got hurt out of the blue!" said Nina.

"What... what did he say?" asked Anna softly.

"He didn't say anything. He probably feels that this matter isn’t as simple as it seems! He's just a tutor after all. Even though you're both related by marriage, he must have decided that it wasn't his place to say anything."

Anna nodded her head. "Yes, it wasn’t his place to speak."

Liam’s personality was cold and indifferent but if he suddenly seemed to care a lot about Anna, it would certainly make everyone else suspicious. Besides,

Anna did not think that Liam would be the type of person who would waste his time helping her investigate the truth.

They merely had a physical relationship where they drew pleasure from one another.

"Anna, listen to me. You can’t marry Bryan! If you marry him, you’ll ruin your life!”

"Furthermore, if you get the chance, you must fight back! You can't tolerate them any longer! They’re such bullies!"

"If Chloe was the one who swapped your eye drops, that would be horrifying to imagine. Since she didn't succeed in harming you this time, she'll definitely try again in the future."

"Anna, your father, and your stepmother are both not o n your side. It’s going to be hard and dangerous for you to deal with this all on your own."

"Oh, what do we do, Anna? I'm so worried about you." Nina held Anna’s hands and shook them anxiously.

Anna smiled coldly. "Don't worry. It’ll be okay. I’ll be careful."

"Anna, you should quickly dissolve the marriage contract! What's so great about the Dawson family. If we're talking about it, don't you think that Mr.

Ackman is even better. The Ackman Group is one thousand times, ten thousand times more amazing than the Dawson family. Why should you die on that hill!?"

"Anna, why don’t you marry Mr. Ackman instead!? Since Bryan cheated on you with your sister, you should marry his uncle and become his aunt! That would kill him inside!"

Anna burst into laughter. "Nina, I know that you want the best for me. However, Mr. Ackman is Bryan's uncle ... Why would he want to marry me!?"

Anna suddenly felt a little downcast. "Do you think that it’s a simple matter to break a marriage contract? The joining of two families in marriage is not a simple matter between two people. It involves two whole families!"

"Anna, my heart bleeds for you."

"It's best to play the long game." Anna sighed softly.

"We shouldn't talk about such heavy, depressing topics! Do you know that Principal Mason informed us that the internship will be starting in a month. That's s o amazing! When that time comes, you'll be able to take part. We will both dominate during the internship, leaving no survivors. Haha..."

Nina started to laugh. Two lovely dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her look exceptionally pretty.

Anna raised her hand and fumbled to touch Nina’s head. "I love seeing you laugh. It's such a shame that I can only hear it now."

"Anna! You'll be able to see it again for sure!"

Anna put her hand down and turned her head. She wanted to look outside the window but no matter what, all that was before her was complete darkness.

So their internship would start in a month...

It must have been Liam’s doing!

Even though it was pitch black before her eyes, a ray o f light seemed to shine through a gap in her heart, making her feel less burdened.

Nina needed to get to her part-time job. She reminded Anna to take care of herself and left.

The hospital room went quiet in an instant. Anna lay o n the bed. Total darkness covered her eyes when the black wristband started to ring.

The happy sound of singing voices went straight to her heart. She smiled and sang along with the soft music...

Life was unreasonable.

We have no idea where life will end up, nor do we know whether the trajectory will change and start heading in an unknown direction...

Anna was a prime example, she never would have expected that her life would become this chaotic and convoluted. She had always imagined that she would graduate with no issues, smoothly take control over the Lincoln Group, marry Bryan and have kids then live happily ever after until they were old.

However, the shapeless hands of fate would be able to plunge one into darkness at any time. At the same time, fate would send a ray of warm sunshine in the darkness to give you warmth.

It was like the appearance of Liam.

Anna suddenly yearned to see him. She did not know what he was doing right now or where he was.

"Oh... My little Anna!"

When Jamie's enchanting voice rang out in the hospital room, Anna suddenly felt as though the darkness before her eyes brightened in an instant.

Jamie was dressed in a blue casual suit. As usual, he had put on intricate eye makeup, more elaborate than most women would wear. He swayed his slender hips as he rushed towards Anna with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand.

"My poor baby! How did this happen to you? Even if you couldn’t bear to see that cheating couple, there's n o need to destroy your own eyes!"

u n

Anna suddenly felt the urge to open up Jamie’s brain just to see how his brain circuits were different from everyone else.

"I think that I’ve gone blind because I’ve seen too much of you," teased Anna.

"Hey! You've not come to visit me in ages. How dare you say that! Besides, I’m so very fashionable, you should take more looks at me to heal your eyes."

Jamie raised his pretty hands and pinched Anna’s slim face. "Look, my baby has become all skinny. Your complexion is terrible. Have you been mistreated over the last few days?"

Anna slapped his hand away and scolded playfully," You're the one who has been mistreated. I don’t even need to lift a finger and food will be delivered to my lips. How could I lose weight? It seems as though your mouth has become more wicked."

"My wicked mouth is much more powerful than your icy one. Look at yourself! If it weren't because I was talking to you, I would have thought that I've entered a n icebox!"

"You’re just like a thousand-year-old glacier. Most ordinary people won't be able to approach you at all!”

When Anna heard him mention 'a thousand-year glacier', the image of Liam’s handsome face appeared i n her mind. She subconsciously fiddled with the wristband on her wrist and felt a little amused.

"Darling, don't you know that you look even more unapproachable now than you did before! When I look back, I can see why your fiance would cheat on you with your sister. It makes total sense!"

Anna’s expression instantly darkened. "What do you mean that it makes total sense!? Are you here to make me mad!?"

Jamie patted her little hand and spoke earnestly.

"My dear, think about it. Chloe is much better at flirting than you are. She’s much better than you at using her womanly wiles. She's also much better at acting weak and helpless. As for you, even boiling water will turn cold upon touching you. What kind of guy would be able to tolerate this?"

"So everyone thinks that I'm dull and uninteresting?" Anna suddenly thought about Liam. Did he think that way of her too?

"My dear, you need to know how to change yourself! In this society, only those who are devious and crafty will be able to live well! The wicked prosper and only the good die young."

Jamie tightly clasped Anna's hand and affectionately stroked her little face.

Neither of them knew that Liam stood sullenly at the door of the hospital room. A storm was brewing that was about to erupt explosively!
