Chapter 749 Of Course I Don't Want To

Anna lowered her head guiltily. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

There was a sparkle in her watery eyes. Yet, a tenacious look flashed through her delicate face.

Why should she be afraid of him?

There was nothing wrong with what she said!

When she thought this, Anna raised her eyes confidently and looked into Liam's unfathomable eyes.

Liam did hear what she had just said, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

All he wanted to do now was to build a good relationship with Gemma.

"If you'd stayed with me, those men wouldn't have been entangled with you all the time." Liam said softly.

Hearing that, Anna felt unhappy and turned around," Aren't you one of these men? Are you trying to scramble for my daughter?"

"Gemma is my daughter. Do I have to fight you for my own daughter?" Liam raised his eyebrows. A hint of banter flashed through his tone.

Anna snorted coldly. She withdrew her sight and continued to feed Nina.

"I specially asked Jamie to buy you non-spicy chicken nuggets. But you'd better eat less of this greasy food."

"This reminds me of when you were in the hospital. At that time, your eyes could not see anything, I quietly gave you two pieces of spicy chicken nuggets to eat." Nina leaned comfortably on the bed and said with a look of enjoyment.

"Yes, now it's my turn to take care of you. So I'm going to strictly monitor your diet." Anna stressed very solemnly.

Nina smiled softly, "Anna, thank you so much."

"You'd better eat fewer chicken nuggets. I also brought you a nutritious and healthy vegetable salad. Try it." Jamie bought a lot of delicious food for Nina, and she also prepared a lot for Anna and Gemma.

"Thank you." Nina ate happily.

When Tania came in for rounds, she saw that Jamie and Anna were sitting at Nina's bedside. And she was jealous.

Suddenly she saw a lovely little girl sat by the bed and her heart seemed to be melted, "This little girl is so cute. She's so beautiful."

When Anna saw Tania coming, she felt uneasy and she took a worried look at Nina.

As if nothing had happened, Nina greeted Tania politely and continued to chat happily with others.

Not long after, Michael came in again, and for a moment the ward was very lively.

Liam felt that the ward was too noisy for a while, so he got up and paced to sit down by the chair at the door o f the ward.

James went out with him.

At this time, Michael went to Nina's bedside. He said solemnly with a straight face on purpose, "Did you eat something the doctor told you not to eat?”

Nina shook her head gently, pretending to know nothing.

Michael was amused and chuckled softly. Then he reached over and wiped the greasy residue from Nina's mouth.

"Nina, you're such a glutton!"

As he retracted his arm, the oily residue could still be seen on his white tip of his finger.

Nina immediately looked very embarrassed, and she said somewhat coquettishly, "I have too many dietary restrictions. I'll probably be starving before I get out of here."

"When you get out of the hospital, I’ll treat you whatever you want." Michael held the eyeglass frame and said dotingly.

While speaking, he reached out and rubbed Nina's hair. He looked at the wound with great concern, "You

should recuperate in the hospital these days."

Such a sudden act of intimacy immediately stunned Nina.

With so many people looking at them, it seemed inappropriate for Michael to do so.

The emotion she was struggling to suppress at the bottom of her heart was like a piece of wood floating out of the water.

She was starting to loosen up a little bit.

It was only then that Michael realized his improper action, then he hurriedly withdrew his hand and said calmly, "If you are disobedient, I will have the doctor lecture you and give you an injection every day."

"I was wrong. I'll just be obedient." The embarrassment in Nina's heart was softened instantly by the gentle tone of Michael. A happy smile appeared on her cute cheeks.

They hadn't chatted so happily and naturally for a long time, and this long-lost feeling made her feel very happy.

Even if they could only chat like this for the rest of their lives, she would be really satisfied.

When she saw the two chatting as if no one was there, Tania, who was standing by, envied them even more.

Seeing Michael take such good care of his cousin, Tania was even more fascinated by him.

Tania quietly took a look at Michael. And she blushed at his polite demeanor.

And she looked at Anna and Jamie, and Gemma, who was playing happily, then she said very gently to Nina, "Nina, I should go now, take your time. I will go to other wards to check."

"Okay." Nina nodded gently and did not say much.

"Dr. Hart, I'll be leaving now." Tania smiled softly at Michael again.

Michael smiled and said, "Go ahead. You've been working hard these days."

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Once again, Tania was fascinated by his handsome smile and went out shyly.

In the corridor, Tania patted her chest gently and took a deep breath.

'God, Michael was so handsome just now.'

'I have to be calm.'

Tania went to the next ward for examination and happened to meet a doctor from the same department coming out of the ward.

When Dr. Ada Quarles saw Tania's flushed cheeks, she couldn't help smiling and teasing, "Did you go to see D r. Hart again? You've been very attentive to his friend these days. Let me guess, who are you more concerned about? It must be Dr...."

"Oh, Dr. Quarles, don't tease me. I just think Dr. Hart is a nice guy. All right, let's stop here."

Tania's cheeks were more ruddy now, a little more ruddy than a ripe apple.

She looked back at the ward where Dr. Hart was in, but secretly thought that she must take more care of Nina.

In this way, she could have more chances to get in touch with Michael.

Tania thought happily and went to check other wards.

In the ward, Michael stood by the bed and told Nina uneasily, "Do you remember what I just said? Don't let me worry again."

"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore." Nina forced a smile.

In fact, she wished someone could love her.

But Michael could never be the one.

Michael stared at Nina, and he obviously captured the lost in her eyes. He immediately felt a pain in his heart.

He wanted to hug this woman, too. But he couldn't.

His soft expression had cooled instantly. Pretending that nothing had happened, Michael said with anguish in his heart, "It's getting late. Have fun

chatting with your friends. I'll come back to see you later."

Without waiting for a respond from Nina, Michael strode out of the ward.

Seeing Liam sitting outside the ward, he also sat down. He clutched the collar of his coat in one hand and fanned himself with the other.

At the moment he felt that the air was so dull that he was a little out of breath.

He was torn and pained at the thought that the feelings he had just suppressed might have burst forth.

"Do you think it's right or wrong for me to do this?" Michael took off his gold-rimmed glasses, put his hands over his cheeks and whispered as if to himself.

"It's up to you." Liam glanced at the man beside him and said in a low voice.

Michael put down his hands and smiled bitterly, "I don't know!"

"Then think about it again. If you can't figure it out now, it means you're still hesitating. When you're ready to make the decision, that's when you'll get the answer you want most." Liam's dark pupil flashed a firm look.

Michael was stunned for a moment, "I think you're right." "Don't do something you'll regret. In fact, this is the simplest answer." Liam's eyes became a little deeper.

Michael suddenly realized. He stood up, patted Liam o n the shoulder and said, "Come with me to the front desk."

Liam thought that there was nothing to do anyway, so he went along with him.

When the doctor at the front desk saw Michael, he handed over the printed list.

"I'll pay Nina 30% of her medical expenses first. But you mustn't tell her."

As he said this, Michael took out his bank card and handed it to the doctor to complete the payment.

Liam looked at him quietly.

"You mustn't tell Anna and Nina. Nina's mother is in poor health, and her family needs money very much. I f I help her directly, she won't accept it." Michael smiled.

Liam nodded slightly, but suddenly he asked in doubt, "If Nina knows in the future, will she be angry?"

Michael carefully put away his bank card, hid the bill i n his wallet and whispered, "I did her a favor and it's the least I could do. She won't be angry."

"Then it was kind of me to buy a gift for Gemma. But Anna is very angry." At this point, Liam's face darkened.

Michael felt amused, "Have you done anything else to

make her unhappy?"

At that moment, Liam's eyebrows wrinkled tightly together. And his dark eyes flashed a trace of grievance and anger.

"Gemma is my daughter. What's wrong with me taking her downstairs to buy gifts? Why was she angry?"

"I see. You must forget to inform Anna in advance when you took Gemma out to buy gifts. After all, you are not together now, and Gemma is also raised by Anna. If you want to take Gemma out, of course you have to tell Anna. What parents worry about most is the safety of their children." Michael turned around and leaned back on the service desk, looking leisurely. But he said it seriously.

Of course Liam knew what Michael was right. But he laughed unconvincingly, "Come on, Gemma's obviously my daughter."

"Well, even she is your daughter, and you have to play by her mother's rules. Besides, you must keep it a secret for me for what I did today." Michael and Liam touched each other's fists in a particularly serious manner.

Liam nodded gently, but asked blandly, "I can keep the secret for you. But there is one condition."

"Are you serious? You're my buddy, and you're gonna make me a deal? I used to help you so much!" Michael seemed to sense that Liam was trying to set him up.

"If you don't agree, forget it." Liam said coldly.

"I'll just promise you, but what are the conditions?"

"You will know this condition next month." Liam raised the corners of his lips and smiled mysteriously.

The two walked back to the ward together, talking and laughing.

Inside the ward, Anna happened to be comforting Nina.

"I know that girl is a lot like you, but it's not a big deal. Since you are cousins, you have to have your own families sooner or later. You'd better let go of this kind of thing as soon as possible."

"But I'm jealous. He was my boyfriend, but he suddenly became my cousin. He loved me most in the past, but now a girl suddenly showed up and she wanted to share this love with me. Perhaps she will surpass me in the future. It's really hard on me."

Nina put down the spoon, and her eyes were red with grievance.

But thinking that she could not starve herself, she reluctantly bit the spoon and ate a mouthful of food.

"Don't think about these things. You will meet a better man in the future." Anna hugged Nina and poured a glass of warm water for her.

Jamie also comforted her, "There are so many personable, gentle and considerate men like him now, why can't you let him go all the time? Do you still want to go against the ethics and continue to fall in love with him?"

"Of course I don't want to."

"Then you should give up as soon as possible. Besides, if he really has a crush on that nurse, you should be happy. At least that nurse is a lot like you. Obviously, you are your cousin's type. And you should be satisfied." Jamie sat by the bed, tidying up the bangs o n the forehead for Nina.

Nina lowered her head somewhat dismally.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open by Michael.
