An icy cold sensation spread across Liam’s heart. His heart lurched and he let out a soft sigh.“If you want a speedy recovery, don’t you cry.”Anna rushed to hold back her tears. She bit her lower lips hard and turned deathly pale.When he saw her aggrieved expression as she tried to suppress her feelings, Liam felt even more heartbroken. “Why would you lose your sight? Of course, you’ll be able to see.” He gently stroked her long hair.“Is that true? Will I really be able to see again? I won’t lose my sight, right?” She lifted her head and looked in his direction. However, there was still only darkness“I’m so scared. I’m so scared that my eyes won’t get better,” she sobbed.“Yes. It won’t get better in your lifetime. You’ll just have to stay by my side.”Anna suddenly let go of his hand. He snapped angrily, “Stop moving! Your hand is still bleeding!” He caught her hand once again and applied pressure to the needle exit wound on the back of her hand.As she struggled forcef
Since Anna lay motionless on her hospital bed, Chloe was fearless. Chloe did not care whether Anna was truly asleep or awake. To Chloe, the world should learn about her relationship with Bryan. That way, she could be with Bryan out in the open!Chloe looked at Bryan piteously, “Bryan, I really love you…”Bryan could not hold himself back any longer. He kept his voice as low as humanely possibly, “I want to be with you too, but now is not the time.”“When will it be the right time? I can’t be with you in this unclear, undefined manner forever! Besides, you’re not truly in love with my sister. I’m also a daughter of the Hamilton family. Marry me and my father will also treat you well.”Bryan smiled coldly inside. Even though Chloe had the surname Hamiton, no one knew what her real surname was!Anna who was lying in bed was the true Miss Hamilton, the heir of the Lincoln Group.What was Chloe compared to her!?However, Bryan still maintained a loving expression on his face, “Chloe,
“Anna, you’re awake!”Bryan hurried to straighten his clothes and fastened his belt. He rushed over to Anna’s bedside. He was thanking God in his heart that Anna could not see right now, otherwise, he would be dead meat!Chloe was so mad that she stamped her feet. Why was she always the one who was discarded when Anna was around!?“Anna, now that you’re awake, do you feel any better?” Bryan asked her in a warm, tender tone. Anna resisted the urge to vomit but continued not to give a response. She crashed into bed and went back to sleep.Bryan’s expression froze on his face.Chloe bit her lip angrily. “Bryan! I told you that she was asleep! What are you scared of!?”Bryan stared questioningly at Anna on the bed. The suspicions in his heart grew. Was Anna truly asleep?“Bryan, let’s continue. How about that…” Chloe continued to wrap herself around him. Bryan pushed her off impatiently. “That’s enough! Stop making a fuss!”Now that they had been interrupted in that activity ag
Chloe glared at Nina angrily and yelled, “Nina Scott! What do you mean by that? I’m here to see my sister. What does this have to do with you?!”Chloe then snickered and crossed her arms, “I’ve heard that you’re on different teams with my sister in this latest internship. Maybe you’re planning to harm my sister while she’s hurt so that she won’t be able to do well. That way, she won’t be able to compete for first place against you!”“Chloe Hamilton! I’ve never met anyone as shameless as you! I’ll be d*mned if I’d harm Anna!”“Nina! Watch your words!”“Hurry up and leave! The door is right there, I won’t see you out. Leave and stop hurting our eyes with your presence!” Nina pointed towards the door.Chloe was so angry that she puffed up her chest. “That’s is my sister. I’m a member of her family. You have no right as an outsider to order me about! The person who should leave is you! Hurry up and get out of here!”Chloe was furious. Were not for Nina, she would have succeeded!Ann
Anna reached out her hand. She could not see a thing. All she could hear was the sound of Nina’s footsteps as she rushed out. Then, the sound of the door closing. Her world instantly filled with darkness and dead silence. Anna swung back and forth in bed.She felt as though she was trapped inside a dark little house where there was no light, no way out and nothing could be seen. She felt suffocated like she was about to die a slow death in this darkness.“Nina, Nina…”She called out a few times but Nina did not respond.Nina left the room and quickly ran towards the staircase, blocking Chloe’s way.“Why are you still here!?” Nina saw that Chloe was still skulking around which was why she started to give chase.“Whether I go or stay has nothing to do with you! Stop being such a busybody! Who do you think you are?” shouted Chloe angrily.“It doesn’t matter who I am. All I know is that you are the ‘second’ daughter of the Hamilton family, and you’re Anna’s stepsister!”Nina part
“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?”“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 cer
Jamie stroked Anna’s little face feeling heartbroken. “My little darling, was I too harsh?”Anna did not speak. A sorrowful look was plastered upon Anna’s features which made Jamie’s heart wrench. He sighed and said in a serious tone, “Darling, I’m just giving you some advice. You need to learn how to be flexible and be able to adapt to situations. That way, you won’t end up like this again!”“Tell me the truth. Did your eyes get like this because someone was out to get you?”A sense of sorrow was evoked on Anna’s lips. “Can you imagine that? It felt like a burning-hot needle was stabbed into my eyes. I think I can still feel the pain lingering even now.”“But… When I was lying here, I could hear Chloe tell Bryan how much she liked him without a care in the world. When no one was around, she even tried to blind me! I feel like my heart hurts even more. It hurts so much that I can hardly breathe.”“Even though we’re not related by blood, we’ve lived together for nearly 20 years. Is
“Oh!”The sudden kiss caused Anna to panic. She struggled, pushing both her hands against Liam’s sturdy chest.“Stop moving wildly or I’ll have you right now! growled Liam angrily. Anna felt a chill go down her back and stopped struggling.Liam started to kiss her with a fervent passion that gradually changed and became extremely tender. His rage slowly disappeared, leaving no trace…What an overbearing man!Was he jealous? Jealous of a gay person? That was so adorable.Liam released Anna, panting heavily. His body felt like it was burning up and he could scarcely catch his breath. His eyes were filled with a raging fire as he stared into Anna’s flushed little face.Anna’s breathing was disordered as well. Her chest moved up and down rapidly. She leaned limply against Liam’s chest.“When… when did you become this insecure?” she asked coyly in a quiet voice.“What?” Liam’s voice was husky.“Why did you lose your self-confidence in front of a gay man?”“...”Liam’s gaze dar
