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

Chapter 60 Will She Go Blind?

At the entrance to the operation theatre. The red indicator light was still shining brightly. The smell of disinfectant kept everyone alert, intent on learning what had happened.

Nina paced anxiously in front of the door. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Occasionally, she would crouch to peek through the gap under the door. However, there was nothing that she could see. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and her lips never stopped chanting, "She'll be okay, she’ll be okay."

Daniel sat quietly on a bench in the corridor, his eyes flitting towards the operation theatre from time to time. Nicole and Chloe sat next to him, one on the left and the other on his right.

"Danny, Anna will be alright. There's no need to worry." Nicole gently patted Daniel’s shoulder as she consoled him.

Daniel nodded but did not speak. He wore a grim expression and frowned deeply.

Nicole wiped away the tears in her eyes.

"We asked Anna to come home so that we could have dinner as a family. It's been such a long time since we've all shared a meal as a family. All we did was leave the house for a moment to get some groceries. I can’t believe that such a thing would happen..."

Nicole looked like she was feeling guilty about the incident. However, her words made one feel like Anna was the one at fault here.

Daniel embraced Nicole and spoke gently.

"How could I blame you for this? She was the careless one! She sneaked off to have the surgery without telling anyone. Despite that, she didn't take care of herself after her surgery and spent her

days doing as she pleased."

Daniel suddenly thought about Anna in her younger days when she would blink her large eyes at him and call him 'daddy' using her child-like voice. An uncomfortable feeling grew in his heart.

She was still his daughter and he was extremely worried about her.

"Daddy, why hasn’t the operation ended by now? It’s making me nervous. Will Anna be alright? If something happened to Anna..."

Chloe’s voice suddenly broke through the troubled thoughts in Daniel's mind. Daniel looked unhappily at Chloe. Chloe felt her heart lurch. She said in an aggrieved tone, "Daddy, I'm also worried about Anna. O h... If something happened to Anna, what will become of her marriage to Bryan?”

Daniel frowned. If anything happened to Anna and her marriage to the Dawson family, how would he be able to explain himself to Grandpa Lincoln?

Nicole glanced at Daniel and softly said to him, "If anything happened to Anna, you would have to continue to manage the Lincoln Group, Danny. Otherwise, the Lincoln Group will be without a leader and be directionless."

Nicole's words instantly pierced the depths of Daniel's heart. His mind was now filled with indecision because of her words.

If Anna was not able to take over the management of the Lincoln Group, that would mean that his position would be solidified. That was an undeniable fact.

Nicole could see that Daniel looked conflicted. She continued, "Danny, we're all hoping that Anna will be alright. However, Chloe is right, We must all be prepared for the worst."

Daniel pursed his lips tightly. His eyes darkened and became more reserved.

Nina turned back to glare at the three of them." There's just a little complication with Anna's eyes. Don't talk about her like she's about to die!"

Nina finally understood what Anna had to endure when she was at home. It was no wonder that Anna would rather stay in a shared dormitory at the university rather than going home to stay at her family's big mansion.

Nicole and Chloe rolled their eyes at Nina, making Nina angry enough that she felt like launching herself at the vile mother-daughter pair.

"That’s enough. This is a hospital. Everyone be quiet!" growled Daniel. It frightened Nicole and Chloe into settling down and being on their best behavior. No one dared to speak.

"Mr. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton."

Bryan rushed over and looked extremely panicked." How's Anna doing? What happened?”

Daniel rushed to his feet. “She's still in surgery. We don't know how she's doing."

"That's true when we got here. She had already been transferred from the ambulance into the operation theatre!" added Nicole.

"Bryan, don’t be too anxious. Anna will be alright! Bryan, come sit down here." Chloe rushed to hold Bryan and thoughtfully led him to the bench,

Nina felt like rushing up to give Chloe two tight slaps t o ease the rage in her chest when she saw Chloe's shameless behavior. However, Nina would not do that because she knew that Anna had been secretly enduring this because she did not want to jeopardize her marriage with the Dawson family.

At that moment, Liam and Dr. Michael Hart came over. As soon as Daniel saw Liam, he rushed over to greet him. Bryan also stood up hastily.

"Mr. Ackman, what are you doing here?" Daniel was a little surprised.

Liam's expression was as icy as a glacier. "I heard that

Miss Anna has been admitted into the hospital.”

Daniel's heart sank. How did Mr. Ackman hear of this news? It was such an honor for Mr. Ackman to come visit her personally!

Daniel was shocked but pleased at the same time. "It's a small matter. There's a slight problem with her eyes. It’s not a big deal. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ackman."

Liam did not spare Daniel a glance. He walked to stand outside the door of the operation theatre.

Nicole pulled Chloe with her. She planned to strike up a conversation with Liam but as soon as she saw his frosty expression, she instantly swallowed words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Liam glanced at Nina. Nina quickly took a step back and quietly greeted him. "Mr. Ackman."

"I know an eye specialist and he's already inside helping with the operation,” said Dr. Hart quietly to Liam.

Dr. Hart was a famous doctor in this hospital. He was also the doctor in charge of Grandmother Dawson's care.

Despite that, Liam still could not put his heart at ease. I f it were not for his status or the worry that he might disturb the doctors operating, Liam would have stormed in to stay by that little lady's side.

"Oh, I wonder how Anna is doing. Why haven't they finished yet?" sighed Chloe faintly. She spoke quietly but her eyes were focused on Bryan as she sent him a flirtatious look.

Bryan was not in the mood to flirt with Chloe. He was truly worried about Anna. Besides, with Liam around, his body and mind were incredibly tense. He stood smartly as if he were a soldier in the army.

"Mr. Hamiton, don't be worried. I'm sure Anna will be alright." Bryan spoke up to reassure Daniel.

Daniel nodded his head then looked at Liam’s broad and tall figure from behind. Liam looked just like a king, letting his subject admire him in awe.

Since Liam knew about the news, this meant that Grandmother Dawson was very likely to have learned about it as well.

Daniel was now extremely worried that the marriage business between the two families would be affected now that Grandmother Dawson had learned about this.

Bryan quietly glanced at Chloe. He saw that Chloe looked unfazed and not worried in the slightest. She even seemed to be concealing a hint of smugness in her expression. Bryan frowned.

Was it possible that Chloe had something to do with this?

The light outside the operating theatre finally switched off. A doctor walked about from the theatre and everyone quickly rushed over to surround him.

The doctor's first words were, "Thankfully, she was brought here in time."

Nina quietly gazed at Liam. When she rushed to Anna's home and helped Anna into the ambulance, she did not see Liam there. However, Liam's car, a luxurious Lincoln limo drove up ahead of the

ambulance the whole journey here. That was the only reason the ambulance had been able to drive unimpeded the whole way to the hospital.

"However..."

The doctor paused and everyone's hearts followed suit!
