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

Chapter 68 Inexplicable Flicker Of Sweetness

Anna reached out her hand. She could not see a thing. All she could hear was the sound of Nina’s footsteps a s 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 particularly emphasized the words ’stepsister’, saying it in a very disdainful manner.

Chloe was so enraged that her chest puffed up. She hated it when people referred to her as the 'second' daughter, especially when they called her 'Anna's stepsister'! It was like a stab to the heart.

"Nina, shut your sl*tty mouth!" Chloe’s voice became shrill.

"Sl*tty mouth? We both know who the sl*tty one is here! I would never go around seducing men. You have absolutely no morals and have reached new levels of sl*uttiness!"

"You!" Chloe was so furious that she gritted her teeth." Nina, believe me when I say that I will rip out your mouth!”

Nina had been itching to give Chloe a good beating on behalf of Anna. She immediately rolled up her sleeves. "Let's go!"

Chloe had always been soft and delicate. She was as weak as a baby. She was not a match for Nina at all. Knowing that, Chloe's eyes instantly filled with tears and put on an extremely pitiful expression.

"I don’t understand, why do you have to bully me!? What did my sister tell you in private? Is she the one who asked you to torment me?"

"What have I done wrong? Why does my sister hate m e so much?"

As soon as Nina saw Chloe crying, she instantly lost her temper. "Hurry up and leave! Don’t act all innocent! I'm not a man!"

Chloe dabbed the tears at the corners of her eyes. "I just wanted to look after my sister. Why do you and Anna have to kick me out? I'm staying behind because I wanted to see if Anna needed..."

"How can you be so shameless!? Didn't you hear me, get lost!"

Chloe began to cry more piteously. "Why do you have t o treat me like this. What have I done wrong?"

Just as Nina was about to raise her voice and give Chloe a good scolding, Daniel's voice suddenly rang out.

"Chloe, what’s going on!?"

Nina turned her head around and saw Daniel standing close by with a displeased expression.

"Daddy..."

Chloe looked like an injured butterfly. She ran towards Daniel and sobbed sorrowfully.

"I wanted to stay in Anna’s room to look after her but she kicked me out. After that, Nina chased after me to give me a good scolding.”

Chloe sobbed and sobbed like she had suffered a huge injustice.

"Daddy, why are they always bullying me? What have I done wrong?"

Daniel glared at Nina angrily, "Excuse me, Chloe is Anna's younger sister. How can you say such repugnant things to Chloe!?"

Nina was furious. Chloe was such a fine little actor!

"It was Chloe..."

"Daddy... It's alright. She’s Anna’s classmate and also her good friend. Let's stop here. If we continue, we'll put Anna in a tough position! Since Anna doesn't want to see me, I should leave."

Chloe said this as she supported her head in her hand. She gently leaned against Daniel. "Daddy, I'm feeling a little dizzy. I think I might have caught a cold... Daddy, can you drop me off at home please?"

Daniel quickly hugged Chloe and said in a voice filled with fatherly love, "You must have caught a chill after spending the last two days running around to and fro from the hospital. I’ll send you home.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Daniel cast a hostile look at Nina. "Go back and tell Anna that since her eyes are hurt, she needs to get some good rest and should stop throwing such childish tantrums!"

Nina clenched her fists angrily but said nothing.

Chloe smirked and looked smugly at Nina. She then leaned weakly into Daniel's arms.

"Daddy, let's go home." "Okay, Chloe. Let's go home and get you some medicine. I'll get Lisa to make you some chicken soup. You should stay home and get some rest..."

Nina watched the father-daughter pair as they slowly disappeared from sight. She was furious inside.

Daniel came to the hospital to visit Anna. Yet due to Chloe's devious trickery, he was now leaving with Chloe without sparing a thought for Anna! She was the patient in the hospital with a serious condition!

What kind of father was he!?

Nina returned to the hospital room. Nina was worried that Anna would be upset if she told her that her father had come to the hospital without visiting her. Hence, she lied and said that she went to the bathroom.

"There's a bathroom here, why did you have to use the one outside?" Anna fumbled until she found Nina’s hand and grabbed it.

"I-I... I didn't know the layout of this hospital room."

"Nina, are you hiding something from me?" asked Anna suspiciously.

Nina became anxious that she would not be able to trick the sharp-witted Anna. Her mind scrambled to come up with something to change the subject.”

"Anna, when I came to see you, I saw Bryan! He walked out of your hospital room! Did he come here with Chloe to see you?" "That pair of c*cksuckers, how dare they appear before you together? It looks like they don't think that you're a threat at all. They're such bullies!"

"I know." Anna spoke softly, "In fact, they were about t o get their freak on in front of me!"

"What!??" Nina's voice went up in volume. "They tried t o 'do the deed’ in front of you!? Is she trying to show you her cards!?"

"Are they trying to provoke you just because you can’t see!? How can they be so shameless!?" Nina was about to lose her tip.

Anna shook her head slightly. "I pretended to be asleep and acted as though I wasn't aware of anything."

"Anna, how could you tolerate that!?”

"What could I do otherwise? I can't see anything. Even if I wanted to hit them, I wouldn't be able to."

Nina was furious. "How can they be so shameless!? They are truly the worst! As for Chloe, she acts all sweet and innocent. She's such a great actress!”

"Not to mention that Bryan! How could he be so hateful!? I just want to destroy his balls, pickle them then feed them to the dogs. I bet even the dogs will refuse to eat his hateful bits!!!"

Anna burst into laughter. "Nina, why haven't I realized before this that you had such a potty mouth? You swear like a sailor. I salute you!”

Anna gave Nina a thumbs up.

"I'm not angry! Anna, Mr. Ackman is the best. As soon as he heard that something happened to you, he rushed to the hospital right away. In fact, he drove up ahead and cleared the way up ahead for you.

Otherwise, the ambulance wouldn't have arrived at the hospital in such a timely manner!"

"He even found you a specialist and made sure that they used the best medications on you. He even found a specialist nurse to look after you."

"Don't you think that the difference between the uncle and the nephew is like night and day!?"

Anna’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She felt an inexplicable flicker of sweetness.
