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
“Admitted into the hospital!?”The volume of Michael’s voice increased by one notch. “Mr. Ackman. You should have a medical check-up first.”“I want to be admitted into the hospital,’’ repeated Liam.“Mr. Ackman, our bed spaces at the hospital are extremely limited. You can’t be admitted to the hospital just because you want to!” said Michael.“I have money!” said Liam angrily.Michael was speechless.“Fine, the Ackman prince does as he pleases just because he has money!” Michael swept an eye across the plucky and spirited Liam. He said helplessly, “Go and get a CT scan of your head.”“I won’t. It’ll harm my brain,” Liam refused.“Then go and have an ECG.”“No, I don’t like to have things stuck on me.”Michael lost his temper, “Are you the doctor or am I the doctor here!?”Liam replied indifferently, “You’re the doctor. It doesn’t matter. I’ll come back tomorrow.”As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left without hesitation.Michael deeply felt as though his be
Anna felt really great to be able to get down off the bed to stimulate her muscles. She walked forward slowly with the help of the nurse.When they arrived at the door leading into the corridor, they heard several of the nurses in quiet discussion.“What’s going on with room 1207? Why are there so many people here?”“That’s right! This is too sudden! Can you see them moving all their equipment out?”“The room looks completely different now. It doesn’t look like a hospital room at all but more like an office…”Anna held onto the nurse as she leaned against the door. She felt safe this way. She sighed internally, ‘This person must be a workaholic for him to want to keep working even though he’s so ill.’“Sigh, he’s about to die. What’s the point of working so hard now? Even if he made a lot of money, he won’t be able to spend it…”Anna suddenly sensed that the corridor had gone cold. She asked the nurse curiously, “Why has the corridor become so cold?”The nurse did not answer. I
Liam carried Anna back to her room personally. Anna could not see a thing so she had no idea that she was back in her hospital room. All she knew was that she was being carried gently by Liam.She was angry and in a difficult situation. She quickly buried her little head into Liam’s embrace to stop him from seeing her bright red face.Liam placed her on her bed and gently tucked her under the covers. Anna felt her heart melt and tightly gripped the blankets. She looked like a timid little kitten hiding under the covers, with only her eyes peeking out.However, her eyes were currently wrapped in gauze so Liam could not see them.She had no idea what sort of evil mood had come upon Liam as he gradually closed the distance between them and kept drawing closer to her. She could hear the sound of his breathing clearly and also feel the vapor of his breath wafting across her cheeks.Anna hid under the covers. As she continued to feel his breath on her, she feared that she might lose c
Bryan coaxed Anna to get her to have some soup.“Anna, try this. It’s a nutritious chicken soup that I spent two hours cooking especially for you. There’s a lot of ingredients inside that are good for your eyes. It’s perfect for your current situation.”“Anna, I personally made this for you. Please have more of it.”Anna quietly faced Bryan without speaking, neither did she open her mouth.Liam stormed in abruptly, causing Bryan to jump fright.He quickly put down the spoon and stood up. “Uncle, why are you here?”When Anna heard that Liam had come, she suddenly gripped the blanket under her hand tightly.Why had he returned!? He was truly like a haunting spirit that she could not shake off!Liam coolly looked at Anna who sat in bed. When he could clearly see that she was ill-at-ease, some of the rage inside him dissipated.After that, Liam turned towards Bryan. “Bryan, step out with me for a moment. I have something to ask you.”Liam did not know what it was about but he gre
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
