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

Chapter 89 The Overbearing Mr. Ackman!

Liam gazed out the window. As Anna stood up from the bench, a nurse quickly went over to help. The two o f them slowly headed back toward the direction of her room.

"She should be able to remove her bandages today," Liam muttered under his breath.

"That’s right, sir. Ms. Hamilton will finally be able to see again!" James was happy for her too.

Chloe and Bryan stepped into the elevator and ascended to the twentieth floor. The moment the elevator doors opened, Bryan hastily let go of Chloe's soft, petite hands and strode out of the elevator.

Immediately after exiting the elevator, Bryan was staggered by the sight of Liam dressed in a grey suit.

Chloe, who was following behind, ran straight into Bryan. "Ouch!"

"Bryan, why did you stop?" Chloe pinched his waist with her tiny hand.

"U-u-uncle... What are you doing here..." Bryan stammered. He quickly smacked Chloe’s hand away.

"I’m admitted to this hospital. Why else would I be here!" Liam's voice was cold.

After that, Liam's gloomy gaze fell on Chloe, who was standing behind Bryan. "Ms. Hamilton, it seems like

you’re not very good at wearing heels."

"If you're not good at it, don't wear heels next time!" Liam scolded. His tone was as cold as ice.

Chloe felt a shiver run down her spine. She stole a glance at Liam then quickly turned away. She gazed at Bryan from the corner of her eyes.

‘The Ackman prince... He can't have truly fallen in love with Bryan, right?

'But that would explain why he's always so hostile toward me!

'Bryan Dawson is mine! You can’t have him!'

"Uncle..." Anna greeted timidly.

"Don't call me Uncle! I don't have a niece as old as you!" Liam sneered.

Chloe trembled in fear. Even her fingers were quivering. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Uncle, umm..." Bryan did not know what to say.

"What are you two doing here?"

Liam asked with an expressionless face, pretending a s if he had no idea.

Bryan's expression froze. He hastily replied, "We're here to see Anna. She gets to take her bandages off today so we’re here to take her home.”

"Take her home?" Liam's expression changed abruptly.

Liam glanced at them with displeased eyes, then stated, "I'll leave with you guys. My car isn't here anyway."

The corner of Bryan's lips twitched. He clearly saw Liam's car in the parking lot downstairs. 'What is he playing at now?'

Even so, when faced with Liam’s frigid eyes, he could not refuse. All he could do was nod stiffly.

"Yes, Uncle."

Bryan and Chloe followed behind Liam, too afraid to make a peep. They followed blindly behind him like two obedient little servants afraid of their master.

The path to Anna’s room could have been completed i n mere seconds, but Liam chose to saunter elegantly along the corridor, taking minutes to reach their destination.

Behind him, the two were sweating profusely, yet they had no choice but to suppress their displeasure.

Finally, they reached Anna's room.

Bryan quickly went up to hold the door for Liam. Liam slowly walked through the door and sat down gracefully on the sofa.

Inside the room, Anna was sitting on her bed while leaning against the headboard, dressed in a loose, blue, and white striped hospital gown. She smiled as she listened to the joyful song of Jingle Bells playing from her wristband.

The dark expression on Liam's face gradually turned warm. There was even a slight curve on the corner of his thin lips.

Bryan said in a tender voice, "Anna, I’m here to take you home. Uncle and Chloe are here too."

Through her bandages, Anna could make out the silhouettes of three people. She turned off the music.

Bryan was happy to see Anna turning off that blaring song. "Anna, I've asked the doctor about your eyes and he told me that you'll be able to see again when you take off your bandages today. Don’t be scared, Anna. I'm here for you."

"That's right, Anna. You’ll be able to go home today! Daddy, Mommy, and I have all missed you! Mommy is at home preparing a feast to celebrate your recovery!" Chloe said in a coquettish voice.

Anna scoffed silently. She replied simply, 'Oh, really? 1 think it’s the same with or without me there."

A hint of resentment flashed across Chloe's eyes. In a sweet voice, she refuted, "How can that be? Mommy talks about how much she misses you all day long! She even said she’ll cook your favorite dishes and clean your room for you today."

"Haha..."

Anna's laugh sounded like hurtful scorn in Chloe's ears. She turned to Bryan and pouted as if she was his wounded little princess.

Nonetheless, Bryan did not bat an eye at her. He went t o Anna's bed and held her hand. However, he was instantly reminded of Liam's presence and let go of her immediately. "Anna, after you've taken off your bandages, let’s go to Maison's together. You love that restaurant, right? Let’s have a small celebration there."

Just then, Anna's doctor came in with Dr. Hart. They greeted the visitors with a nod. "Ms. Hamilton, you can take off your bandages now."

"No!"

Liam yelled abruptly, shocking everyone in the room.

Even Anna was staring at him with a confused expression.

What was he trying to do now?

Anna's doctor turned to Liam and with a perplexed expression. "Mr. Ackman, Ms. Hamilton's eyes have been healing well. It's already the fifteenth day, so I'm sure it's safe to take off her bandages."

"That’s right, Uncle. Why can't she take it off?" Bryan asked in a bewildered tone.

Liam lifted his arm, glanced at his watch, then said in his low voice, "It's only nine o’clock. Ms. Hamilton was admitted at seven in the evening that day. It's not time yet."

Wrinkles formed on all their foreheads.

Micheal was amused. He adjusted the glasses that sat on the bridge of his nose and gazed at Liam with a

playful expression.

Anna's doctor turned to Micheal, then to Bryan. He announced loudly, "Mr. Ackman, a few hours will not make a difference."

Liam glanced at the nametag on his chest. "Tell me, Chief Physician Moore, do all the doctors in your hospital treat their patients so lightly?"

Dr. Moore was drenched in a cold sweat. In his many years of practicing medicine, he had never encountered a patient’s family member that was so insistent on the time! Moreover, Mr. Ackman was not even family! Even so, he was the prominent Ackman prince, so Dr. Moore had no choice but to smile.

"Mr. Ackman, strictly speaking, the bandages are supposed to be left on for fifteen days, but depending o n the patient's condition, we don't have to be so rigid with the time. Haha..."

"Depending on the patient’s condition? How would you know if her eyes have healed well enough for that?"

Dr. Moore staggered. For a while, he had no idea how t o reply. After calmly pondering for a while, he answered, "Mr. Ackman, I've been practicing medicine for many years. According to my years of experience, it's completely fine to take off the bandages now. Rest assured, Mr. Ackman. After taking them off, I'll conduct a thorough examination on her eyes." "From your experience? How can I trust your

experience? Have you never made a mistake?"

Dr. Moore felt a dull pain in his chest as if someone had landed punches directly on his heart. How could h e insult a fifty-year-old doctor's medical knowledge? H e was one of the top doctors in the entire hospital!

Nonetheless, it was Liam Ackman. What could he do?

"Alright... We'll leave it on then." Dr. Moore surrendered.

Anna turned her head in Dr. Moore's general direction and put on a sympathetic smile.

No matter how insufferably arrogant and overbearing Liam was, no one could say a word about it.

They just had to live with it.
