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

Chapter 104 Probing

Liam's expression was cold. He kept sending messages to Anna, yet she never replied to any of them.

At last, he grew tired of this game and called her number directly. However, all he heard was a robotic voice, saying, "The mobile you are trying to reach has been switched off..."

Exasperated, Liam threw his phone away. It bounced a few times, then lay flat on the floor in silence.

James realized what was going on. The only person who could make Mr. Ackman throw such a huge tantrum was none other than Anna Hamilton.

James was rendered speechless. Did the two get into a n argument?

'We’re doomed!'

James could sense the imminent arrival of death.

Soon, the office would turn into living hell again!

When Anna woke up, it was already evening.

Darkness loomed outside the window. Grey clouds billowed in the sky as if waiting for the perfect time to start a storm.

Anna switched her phone back on. Messenger notifications flooded her screen.

It was that crazy pervert again!

He sent all sorts of symbols to her chat again. In addition, some students had personally messaged her to ask about her. Her phone overflowed with messages.

Just then, Nina’s call came in. Anna answered the phone.

"Anna, I heard that you've been discharged. How are your eyes? Have they recovered? Did you get your vision back? I saw that you managed to play the lucky draws today!"

"Uh..."

Anna wiped away her cold sweat. "My eyes haven't healed yet! Just now... I asked the maid to help me check my phone. Did she play lucky draws for me? Oh, I didn't even know..."

"I see. I can't believe your eyes haven’t healed... How are you feeling? Now that you're at home, I won't be able to visit you often..." Nina's dejected tone made Anna's heart ache.

"Nina, don't worry. My eyes will definitely get better," Anna assured. "Have some faith in me."

"Yes, I do have faith in you! Hehe... You don't know this, but today, some guy named Charles spent an exorbitant amount of money for you! All the students i n our university envied you so much! Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Especially that Jennifer Wurst! She was so jealous that she kept badmouthing you in the group. A few students ended up shutting her down indirectly.

"She can’t stand it when anyone treats you well! She always thinks that she's the most beautiful person on earth. She thinks that the honor should be hers, not yours."

Nina ranted angrily. Then, she grew worried about Anna again. "Anna, how are they treating you at home? Do they think they can bully you however they want now that you can't see! I shiver just thinking about it. Anna... how about you move back to the hostel? I can take care of you here.”

"Rest assured, Nina. I’m doing very well. Don't worry about me."

Anna did not wish to tell Nina too much-it would only worry her more.

Anna hung up and lay back down on the bed. She stared at the darkness outside the window.

Suddenly, she was reminded of Liam. An abrupt smile appeared on her face as she thought about Liam’s handsome face.

Out of habit, she caressed the black wristband on her wrist. As the voices of joyful children sounded from the wristband, Anna hummed along to the tune.

Those few days, Daniel had been taking good care of her at home.

He ordered everyone in the house to take extra good care of Anna. To make it more convenient for Anna to get around, he removed many obstructions within the house and even laid an extremely soft carpet at the steps so that Anna would not get injured even if she fell.

Seeing Daniel's extreme care toward Anna, Nicole and Chloe had no choice but to stay in line. They did not dare make any mistakes while taking care of Anna anymore due to fear of angering Daniel.

Just then, a knocking sound came from outside her room. Followed by that was Nicole’s voice.

"Anna, it's lunchtime. I'm coming in.”

Those few days, Nicole would personally bring Anna's food to her room whenever Daniel was home. She even deliberately spoke in a loud voice to make sure Daniel could hear that she was personally bringing food to Anna.

Nicole came in with Anna’s lunch. She smiled vibrantly. "Anna, here's your food."

"I can eat downstairs. I don’t have to stay in this room all day long,” Anna said.

"It might be a little inconvenient for you to go down the stairs. I think it's better for me to serve you." Nicole’s gaze turned cold. She thought that Anna could not see, but in reality, everything was crystal

clear to Anna.

Anna smiled sweetly at Nicole. "I've troubled you so much, Mom. It must be hard for you.”

Nicole’s heart sank when she saw Anna's blossoming smile. She glanced at Anna suspiciously but did not notice anything strange. She placed her food on the table.

"Not at all. You are my daughter. I should be doing all this.” Nicole smiled.

Anna instantly lost her appetite when she saw the bland and tasteless food on the plate.

"But I don’t feel like eating anything today," Anna muttered.

"Anna, are you feeling unwell? The doctor said that you’re malnourished, so you have to eat. You need all those nutrients so your eyes can heal."

Nicole helped Anna up and sat her down on a chair.

"I'll feed you." Nicole picked up the spoon and brought a spoonful of boiled vegetables to Anna's lips. Anna slowly dodged away.

If anyone could eat tasteless boiled vegetables for a few consecutive days and still be able to swallow them, Anna would give them a big thumbs-up.

"Anna, at least eat a little. You can't starve yourself the whole day! I cooked this especially for you," Nicole advised.

Anna knew about Nicole’s little mischief. Ever since she spat out the vegetable she made that day, claiming it was spicy, Nicole had been boiling all her vegetables without adding any salt or seasoning. On the surface, Nicole claimed that bland food was good for her health, but in truth, she was torturing Anna through food.

Daniel was happy to see that Nicole was taking care of Anna so meticulously. He often said that Nicole was not her biological mother-she was better than that. Anna had no chance to refute.

Anna had to endure Nicole's tasteless ’meals with love ' for so many days. Finally, she had enough. She could not take another bite of it. Even its smell is making Anna nauseous.

"Anna, eat a little at least. Otherwise, your father will get angry at me for not taking care of you well," Nicole pleaded in a low voice.

Anna clenched her fists and slowly opened her mouth. However, the moment she got a whiff of the boiled vegetables, she felt her stomach turning again.

Anna shut her mouth and shook her head. "I... have a stomachache. I don’t want to eat.”

A grin appeared in the corner of Nicole's lips then swiftly disappeared. She replied in a loving tone," Alright, let me help you back to bed then.”

Just as Nicole was about to help her up, Anna had already stood up and felt her way to her bed.

The arm that Nicole extended for Anna to grab froze i n the mid-air. She frowned. A feeling of suspicion arose in her heart. For a second there, she felt as if Anna could see her.

Anna sat down on her bed and carefully felt her surroundings with her hands.

Nicole stared at her for a long while, but could not find any clues.

'Did Anna really lose her vision? Or is she just pretending to be blind?'

Just then, a wicked look appeared in Nicole's eyes. Her lips curled up ominously. She poured a bowl of soup and brought it toward Anna with a kind smile on her face.

"Anna, if you don’t want to eat, how about some soup? It's chicken soup. It's good for your health. I made it especially for you."

Nicole started into Anna's hollow eyes as she slowly approached.

Suddenly, Nicole’s hands shook and the bowl of soup was split toward Anna...
