Chapter 79 I Think I'm Abnormal
Chapter 79 I Think I'm Abnormal
Anna slept for an entire day and night in her hospital bed. By the time she woke up, everything had become unusually silent.
She pondered for a while before finally arriving at a conclusion. She must have contracted an extremely severe illness. Why else would she have lost control of her emotions and acted in such an embarrassing manner with a lack of self-restraint!?
She tossed and turned in bed. Sharon stood timidly beside her and called out her name several times but Anna did not respond.
Anna liked Nurse Sharon. However, as soon as she thought that Sharon and Liam might have...
She lay flat on the bed and took a deep breath before she was able to, with great effort, suppress the raging fire that started to surge once again.
Sharon was extremely worried. "Miss Hamilton, you’ve not eaten the whole day. Why don't you sit up and have something to eat? I'll help you up."
"Miss Hamilton, are you feeling unwell? Your body won't be able to handle it if you don’t eat."
Anna knew that Sharon was truly concerned about her. Her voice was choked up with sobs. However, after her experience with Chloe's fakery, Anna was unable to easily trust a woman’s tears.
She was not a saint. She was a mere woman and would also have moments when she was bad- tempered, grumpy, and even jealous!
That was right!
She was extremely jealous right now. She was so jealous she was about to go crazy!
Why did Sharon stay in Liam’s room with him for such a long time and be able to see him, yet Anna could not see a thing.
However, now that she had calmed down, she was not about to lose her temper again. That was extremely unbecoming and embarrassing!
Anna held her face in her hands. When she recalled her uncontrollable behavior yesterday, she felt ashamed of herself.
Anna waved her hand weakly. "Get the doctor please.”
Sharon quickly ran to call a doctor.
Anna's expression was extremely stern and somber. She sat brewing for some time before she solemnly spoke, "Doctor, I don't think that I’m normal."
"What is abnormal about you?" The doctor looked curiously at her.
"I’m abnormal all over, especially my temper. It’s become extremely explosive and I can't control it at all."
The doctor thought for a moment. "Perhaps Miss
Hamilton, you're feeling more emotional and reckless now because you can't see.”
Anna shook her head. "It seems like it's not related to my eyes! A few days ago, my moods were bearable and my temper wasn't this difficult to keep under control..”
"Doctor, please carry out a full check-up on me."
The doctor agreed and did a full check-up for Anna. In the end, apart from her eyes and a slight nutritional deficiency, Anna's body was completely fine.
Anna was still unsatisfied. "I heard that some psychological illnesses cannot be diagnosed via medical equipment.”
"Miss Hamilton, we've examined your head. Your brain waves signals and the ultrasound results are all normal. There is no abnormal brain activity." The doctor did not think that Anna had a psychological problem.
"I have a psychological problem! Find a psychologist for me!” Anna patted her chest as she said that.
The doctor nodded. "If you're still concerned, I'll arrange that for you, Miss Hamilton."
The psychologist sat before Anna and assessed her condition. He waited for quite a long time before Anna finally spoke.
"My mood has been terrible. I feel very frustrated."
"Can you give me an example?" asked the doctor.
Anna lifted her head and thought about it. "It's an indescribable feeling of frustration! This is especially true when certain people or certain things trigger me.
I feel like a crazy person."
Anna grabbed the doctor's hand and asked anxiously," Doctor, am I depressed!?"
"Can you tell me more about those 'certain people or certain things'?"
Anna pursed her lips but did not speak. How could she tell the doctor that it was because of Liam?
"Doctor, I know that there's a manic state for those who have a manic-depressive disorder. Might it be possible that I have that?"
The psychologist interrogated Anna, asking her numerous questions about her habits and behavior. In the end, the doctor concluded, "Miss Hamilton, you don’t have any psychological disorders."
"But I really think that I’m abnormal!" Anna was displeased with the doctor's verdict. "I am completely unable to control myself!"
"Even if you tend to, it’s only a mild presentation. You can relax, Miss Hamilton. As long as you focus on your self-control, it is possible to completely avoid losing control."
"Focus on my self-control?"
"Yes."
"So I won't need to take any medication for this? How will I be able to control myself without medication? Please prescribe me something for it." Anna clasped her heart. She was concerned that a situation like that might happen again.
The doctor shook his head helplessly. "Many mild psychological disorders depend on the patient learning to self-regulate, especially when you're about to lose your temper. If you can't control yourself, no medication will be able to help you either."
"Besides that, based on your current situation, you’ve not reached the level where you'll need medication for treatment.”
Hearing the doctor's words, Anna felt her worry dissipate. She could not help but pat her chest and take a deep breath.
"Self-control, self-control. I will do my best to work on my self-control." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
The doctor nodded. "You will need more control when you're feeling angry. Only then will you be able to stop your condition from getting worse."
Anna nodded her head repeatedly to show that she understood. She mumbled to herself as she fumbled her way back into bed.
"Self-control, self-control. Control my temper, control my anger..."
The doctor stepped out of Anna’s room just as Liam was headed to her room with a freshly prepared meal.
He asked Sharon who had walked out with the doctor, "What happened? Is she unwell?"
Sharon nodded her head timidly. "Miss Hamiton's condition doesn’t seem great. She's not eaten the whole day and keeps mumbling to herself.”
"I’ve done as you've instructed. I've kept a close eye on Miss Hamilton and have not left her side at all."
Liam rushed into the room.
Anna was lying in bed. He had no idea was she was saying but she kept mumbling to herself.
Liam put down the food containers and watched her lips move. He found it funny and amusing.
He stood there for ages but Anna did not seem to notice his presence. She continued to mutter to herself.
Liam cleared his throat softly to let her know that he was there. Anna instantly trembled and rushed to grab the blankets around her. He did not know what she muttered before she spoke in an extremely calm and gentle tone.
"Mr. Ackman, you're here."
Liam felt like he had been struck by lightning. When did Anna start treating him with such respect and gentleness?
Liam grunted in response and cast his eyes on Anna.
She no longer looked as she did yesterday, where she screamed, hit, and cursed like a crazy person. When h e saw the prim and proper smile on her lips, he felt a little angry.
"Is your psychological illness cured?"
Anna held her breath then took in a deep breath. She maintained her smile and softly said, "I'm sorry. I reacted to some medication yesterday so my mood swings were quite drastic. I hope I haven’t hurt you, M r. Ackman."
Liam felt goosebumps appear all over his arms and shivered involuntarily. "I'm alright. It seems like I managed to see another side of you.”
Anna was very unhappy but she continued to plaster the smile on her face.
It was for the best if his impression of her was ruined s o that he would stay far away from her. The further the better! The reason that she was losing control of her emotions was him!
As the initiator, he had caused her incredible harm. Yet, here he was acting as though he were an innocent victim.
Anna slowly crawled up as she maintained her smile towards him. She kept her gentle and sweet attitude.
Liam looked at her with cold, disdainful eyes. "What are you smiling at? Are you trying to seduce me?" "..." The smile on Anna's face instantly froze.
