Bryan drove Chloe to the hospital. When the doctor confirmed after a series of checks that everything was in order, they both sighed in relief.The doctor subtly reminded Bryan and Chloe not to do any strenuous exercises, making them squirm awkwardly.“Chloe, you scared me to death. Thank god you’re okay!” Nicole patted her rest in relief. “You have to be more careful in the future. You’re not alone now, you have the baby to take care of. Bryan, remember to take care of Chloe, the baby in her stomach is yours too.” Nicole was also unhappy that Bryan always asked after Anna.“Since you both have a child together, you’re parents now, you need to prioritize your child, anyone or anything else is not important anymore.”Bryan nodded, not making any comments. Chloe leaned on his chest and whispered, “Bryan, I was so scared. I thought something happened to our baby, thank God he’s fine.”“The baby is very important to me, Chloe. I know it’s hard for you but you have to protect the baby.”
The next day, Anna went to Nina’s house to meet Nina and her mother before visiting the hospital together. She supported her sore waist with a hand on her hip the entire way.“Nina, Nina. You don’t know how much I’ve sacrificed for you!”Anna walked up the stairs, the pain from her sore waist causing her to sigh at every step.Nina lived in an old, run-down neighborhood. The staircase was old and rusty from age and in urgent need of repair.Anna looked carefully before taking every step, worried that the staircase would give way and cause her to her fall.She followed the address Nina gave to the school, found her way to Nina’s house, and pressed on the doorbell.“Anna!” Nina opened the door, she seemed depressed.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing! Come on in.”The inside of the apartment was clean. There was not a speck of dust in sight, but the air was filled with the overpowering scent of herbal medicines.Melissa Baker, Nina’s mother, sat on the sofa clicking through the channels on the tel
Melissa’s emotions were out of control again. Dr. Hart hurriedly ordered the nurses to push her down on the table then they injected her with a tranquilizer. Melissa grew quiet, leaned on Nina’s chest, and fell asleep. Dr. Hart immediately seized the chance and arranged for some examinations to be done.“Anna, my mom is like this. When she’s sick, she’ll say anything! She even said she wanted to kill me…” Nina bowed her head, tears gathering in the corners of her eyes.“Nina, I won’t take this against her! I just felt like she mistook me for someone else.”“She’s not conscious anymore. She doesn’t even know what she said or what she did. She’s in a blur most of the time,” Nina sighed.“Don’t worry too much, we’ll look at the results and see.” Anna patted Nina’s shoulder comfortingly. In the VIP ward.Melissa lay on the bed quietly with countless machines on her body. Her breathing was stable as she had an expression of calm peace while she slept. Nina sat at her bedside and stare
Anna accompanied Nina to the hospital the whole day.At night, her father called her home to take care of Chloe. Nicole and he had a cocktail party to attend.Anna was infuriated, “Don’t we have a maid at home? I don’t know how to take care of someone.”“A maid is a maid, you’re her sister! Your sister is pregnant now, shouldn’t you help take care of her?” Her father grew upset too.“Daddy, you have to know who is the father of her unborn child! I’m already tolerating her the best I can, why do I even have to take care of her?”“It’s all in the past, you have to look forward to the future! Come home, now!” Daniel finished and hung up the phone.Anna clenched her phone tightly in her fists, wishing she could fling it away to vent her anger. “I’m human too! In their eyes, I’m like an emotionless robot. They never considered how I feel!”Her family was like this, previously Bryan was like this, and now even Liam treated her this way.Nina walked towards her, “Anna, that’s because you hav
Chloe saw a man lurking suspiciously outside the gate and shouted. The man hurriedly hid behind a large tree.“Who’s there! Come out, now! I’m calling security!” Chloe shouted in fear.The man appeared from behind the tree, motioning for Chloe to keep her voice down.“Chloe, it’s me, Daddy! Shush! Don’t shout! Don’t let anyone else see us!”Chloe’s eyes widened in shock, expression full of disbelief as she stared at the man in front of her.Even though the sky was already dark, beneath the dim street lights, she could clearly see the middle-aged man’s face.His hair was messy and disheveled. Stubbles covered his face like small black needles, his clothes were dirty and torn. He looked like a beggar. “I don’t know you!”Chloe turned to run but the man reached out and covered her mouth with his palm then tugged her into the trees behind him.“Don’t call out, don’t shout! I’ve been mapping out the area for the past few days, I know the guards don’t patrol this area at this time.”Chloe
“You want me to be her bridesmaid?”Are they out of their minds?Anna couldn’t keep calm anymore, “I have nothing to do with their marriage. Don’t bring me into this!”Daniel’s expression darkened but he tried to keep his voice calm and neutral, “Anna, I know this is hard for you! But we need to show the public that we are a happy, loving family. That there’s no bad blood between you and Chloe because of Bryan.”“Didn’t you promise you will try to get along with Chloe?”“Getting along is different from making me the object of public ridicule!” Anna’s anger was growing, her displeasure written on her face.“Anna is saying that she hasn’t forgotten Bryan yet. Her acceptance and forgiveness is all an act! She said she’ll give us her blessings but deep down she doesn’t think so at all!” Chloe piped up.Anna’s gaze was as sharp as a knife. She looked as if she could cut through Chloe’s body and see right through to the heart. Chloe hid behind her father in fear, whining to gain sympathy, “D
Chloe pressed a palm over her mother’s mouth.“Mom! Lower your voice!”Nicole nodded, her expression harrowing. She lowered her voice and whispered, “He came to see you?”“Yes! I’m so scared! Mom, what should we do?”Nicole was flustered too as she paced around the room nervously.“Don’t panic, don’t panic. Tell me, how did he appear? And why did he want to see you?”Chloe sucked in a deep breath and reiterated the days’ happenings to her mother. “Mom, you need to think of a way! I gave him a thousand dollars, and the card is already expired but I lied saying there’s money inside. I couldn’t have chased him away otherwise!Once he realizes there’s no money in the card, with his personality, he won’t forgive me!”Nicole’s face turned pale as a ghost, “He knows you’re marrying into the Dawson family, he’ll definitely stick to you like a vampire!”Nicole was at a loss too, the more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt, “Why would he come here? How could he come here!”After sh
Liam made a call to James, ordering him to take care of the situation.Then, he stalked her, driving behind her leisurely.When Anna reached Fitzrovia Hills, Liam was right behind her.Anna turned around and saw him alighting from his car. He was wearing a black suit, though handsome as always, to her eyes, he looked more like the Grim Reaper than anything else. “You just got home?”She glanced towards his car; it wasn’t the flashy sports car he used to drive.“You followed me!” Anna suddenly realized; this car had been driving closely behind her the whole way.Liam didn’t even look at her, pressed the password to open the door, “Come in, quick.”His voice was soft but carried a commanding air that allowed no room for disagreement. Anna walked past the door quickly, followed him past the garden and into the villa. “Why did you follow me?” Anna stared at his tall frame suspiciously. “What evil trick are you planning again?” Liam turned and glanced at her, lips pressed softly togeth
Chapter 860 The EndThree years went by. Liam held a press conference and announced earth-shattering news."All my properties will be transferred to Anna." This news made a sensation in the whole city, which shocked Anna."I object it."After Anna got off work and went back home, she walked into Liam's study, emphasizing every word. "I won't accept a single cent of your properties! My own company is very big now. I don’t lack money."Liam frowned unhappily and said coldly, "This is my love for you." "I only need this one." Anna held tightly the diamond necklace that Liam asked her to design, a satisfied expression. Liam looked at the diamond necklace and smiled."This is yours. This is designed for my beloved woman."Anna blushed and glared at him, "You kept it a secret at that time. You are so cunning!""I want to give you a surprise!" Liam gently held Anna's shoulder and was about to kiss her when a clear voice rang at the door."Mommy, Daddy, what are you doing?
Chapter 859 Will Be HappyUp to now, Sherry still remembered that Michael was totally drunk and called Nina's name for the whole night after he proposed to Tania successfully.Seeing that Michael was so sad, Sherry and Michael's father were worried about Michael.Sherry and Michael's father discussed it in private. Since Michael was so sad, they would better fulfill his wish."It doesn't matter for us to publicize what happened in the past. Your father and I don't care about it as long as you are happy."Sherry stroked Michael's cheek gently. Her tone was filled with love. "You're our only child... We were worried that you would estrange from us if you knew that we were not your birth parents, but you have known about it for many years. You are still so filial, obedient and excellent. We are very glad...""I'm Nina's aunt. Of course, I hope she will be happy. So do you, my dear son.""But what outsiders will say about Dad and you?" Michael was reluctant to publicize these things
Chapter 858 Pretending to Be Happy All the Time"I know that you love Michael very much. Since you love each other deeply, why do you separate because of misunderstanding?"Tania looked at Nina with tears in her eyes.Nina took a step back in shock, "What are you saying? Impossible!""You are no blood relations at all... Maybe I misheard. But that's what I heard at that time. If you don't believe me, you can ask him about it.""Michael was worried that if the news that he wasn't the biological child of the Hart family was exposed, it would affect Dean Hart's reputation... That's why he didn't dare to mention it. He could only separate from you and hide his secret..."Tania choked while saying, "Actually, I really love Michael. I really don't want to be separated from him... Am I stupid? If I pretend that I don't know, could I be with him?"Tania's eyes were red from crying, "But if I don't tell you about it, I would be really sad. I think I've done something really bad...""I
Chapter 857 I Have No Place in His Heart By the time Ethan knew about it, Anna had been sent to hospital by Liam. Anna choked smoke and was in a coma now. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time, and she was fine now. When Ethan visited Anna at the hospital, Liam was feeding Anna chicken noodle soup. "The doctor said you have to eat something lighter." Liam said gently. Anna was unhappy and pouted, while she still looked sexy and charming with her eyes dropping. "That doesn't mean excessively light food, right?" "Well, chicken noodle soup does have very little chicken and noodles. If you are recovering well today, I will put more chicken and noodles in the soup for you tomorrow." Liam took the spoon, gently blew at it and carefully placed it before Anna's lips. Anna had a mouthful, and then her eyes swept over the small table next to her. Liam immediately sent some appetizer to Anna's mouth, "This is also what I had the cook prepare specially for you, I
Chapter 856 It's My FaultThe yellow-haired man was coaxed to drink a few glasses of red wine and finally got tired of waiting.Seeing him walk towards her slowly, Anna backed away in fear."Can you wait a minute? I want to know who wants to ruin me. Can you tell me?"The yellow-haired man sneered. He grabbed her shoulder and dragged her towards the round bed behind him."I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"Anna was pinned down by the man.At that moment, Anna's heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest."Let go of me. You hurt me..." Anna tried hard to struggle."Can you be gentle? I'm so painful..."The yellow-haired man was about to kiss her neck when Anna kicked him away with all her might.The yellow-haired man's eyes widened with pain, "How dare you kick me? You've been lying to me! Fuck!""Don't touch me." Anna widened her eyes in horror and in a cold sweat."Aren't you afraid I'll get back at you when I get out?"Th
Chapter 855 You Know How to Have Fun!Anna was so terrified that she hurriedly put her arms around her chest to protect herself.Someone started tearing her clothes. She kept shaking her head and shouted, "Let go of me... If you dare to touch me, I will make you pay a heavy price...""Ah...""Aren't you afraid that Liam will kill you? If he finds me, he won't let you guys go!!!""You'd better let me go now!""Don't scare me. Don't you think I really dare to touch you?" The yellow-haired man had someone bring the pills, "Make her take the pills quickly. Then she'll listen to me."...Liam was searching for Anna anxiously."Have you found Anna?" Liam was driving while calling James."Not yet! There's no surveillance near the park!" James was also distressed.Liam had an extremely cold face, with a crazy and tyrannical aura around him. He said, "No matter what method we use, we must find her now!""Okay! Mr. Ackman!"James hurriedly ordered people in the whole city to search
Chapter 854 I Have Got Nothing But MoneyAnna huddled herself up in a corner.She could only feel safe in this way.There was another woman at the place. The man with yellow hair was forcing the woman to shoot an adult movie.The woman was struggling and crying like crazy. Suddenly she fell to her knees in front of the yellow-haired man, crying and begging him."No, I can't do this... I really can't.... Please let me go... At least we had been together. You can't do this to me..."The yellow-haired man kicked her ruthlessly, and the woman was lying on the ground in pain and couldn't get up."Bah! I slept with you for one night, and you want to bargain with me? Get the hell into the room and do your job!"The woman huddled herself up, and she cried more desperately.The man apparently lost his patience. He picked up an iron bar and struck the woman cruelly.In an instant, the woman's shrill cries and pleas resounded throughout the empty and dilapidated factory.Anna shuddered
Chapter 853 Why Didn't He Come to Rescue Her?Anna's mouth was covered, and then she was put into a sack."Let go of me!" She struggled violently but was dazed by the people behind her with Ecstasy.When she opened her eyes again, she found it was so dark that she couldn't see the surroundings clearly."Are you awake? Get ready for work."Suddenly a man with yellow hair walked up to Anna and threw a book into her arms.Anna unconsciously took it and looked around nervously.The place seemed to be an abandoned and shabby factory."Where is it?""This is our studio." The yellow-haired man stared closely at Anna and smirked.Anna looked around defensively. She found some men in the corner were seriously reading the book in their hands.Anna also looked down at the book in her hand. Surprisingly, it was a script!But she had a bad feeling that something terrible was going to happen."I didn't promise to work with any studio." Anna was uncomfortable for the yellow-haired man ke
Chapter 852 Why Isn't Mommy at Home?A complete family... Anna almost stayed up all night because of what Gemma said. Who were the members of her family?She had thought that her family members were her father, her mother, Nicole, Chloe, her grandpa, Grandmother Dawson, Bryan...And Liam. Finally, it was Ethan.These people all appeared in her life, but then they all gradually separated from her.Now that the whole Hamilton family left only Gemma and her.Who else could be called her family?She slowly picked up the marriage certificate with Liam. Both she and Liam looked strange in the photo on the marriage certificate. In this photo, her expression looked like she was forced, much like the one on their first marriage certificate about four years ago.Their story seemed to have been repeated all over again.A few years later, they were back where they started.Anna touched the photo gently, she could clearly feel that Liam had been taking good care of her in recent d
