Chapter 73 Your Body Is More Honest
Anna felt really great to be able to get down off the bed to stimulate her muscles. She walked forward slowly with the help of the nurse.
When they arrived at the door leading into the corridor, they heard several of the nurses in quiet discussion.
"What's going on with room 1207? Why are there so many people here?"
"That's right! This is too sudden! Can you see them moving all their equipment out?"
"The room looks completely different now. It doesn't look like a hospital room at all but more like an office

Anna held onto the nurse as she leaned against the door. She felt safe this way. She sighed internally,' This person must be a workaholic for him to want to keep working even though he's so ill.'
"Sigh, he's about to die. What's the point of working so hard now? Even if he made a lot of money, he won't be able to spend it..."
Anna suddenly sensed that the corridor had gone cold. She asked the nurse curiously, "Why has the corridor become so cold?"
The nurse did not answer. In fact, she withdrew her hands that were holding on to Anna's arm.
Anna reached out her hands but could not feel the nurse next to her. "Where are you?"
The nurse had retreated in fear from a pair of frosty, intimidating eyes.
"Who did you say was about to die!?"
Liam's expression was as black as ink. His deep eyes blazed with a powerful chill, looking as though he was about to freeze Anna into an ice cube.
Anna felt a shiver go down a body and quickly grabbed the door beside her to steady herself.
Liam took a step forward and leaned down slightly to draw closer to Anna. The unique fragrance of his cologne mixed with the musk of his manly scent and wafted straight into her nostrils. Anna felt her heart skip a beat and subconsciously turned around to leave. However, in the next second, she collided with a muscular chest.
She instinctively reached out to stroke her stinging nose. She turned around to escape in the opposite direction only to crash into the door. Liam could not help but smile as he watched her crash into things.
Anna was a little annoyed. It was very troublesome to not be able to see. She quickly fumbled around and continued in her attempt to escape. Liam's expression darkened once again. A clear voice rang out next to her ear.
"Let's see what happens if you dare to take another step?"
Anna felt a chill go down her spine and paused for a second.
If she wanted to leave, she would do so! She was not scared of him!
Anna continued to walk up ahead. She looked like she was about to make a quick escape. However, she had barely taken a step when she crashed into Liam's body once again. She continued to change direction, but each time she would end up colliding with Liam.
She raged, "What are you doing!? Why are you always i n my way!?"
When she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Liam gritted his teeth secretly as the flames in his eyes burned with greater intensity. He took a large step and brushed past her so that his tall body stood in front of Anna. Anna sensed his movement and did not crash into him this time. She screeched into a halt and immediately turned around to walk back in the direction she came from.
She had merely taken a step when Liam's large hand pulled her back and trapped her within his warm arms.
"Where are you running to, little one?"
Liam's low, husky voice carried a hint of anger as it washed over her.
Anna felt an involuntary ache all over her body and cautiously responded, "Do I know you? You're in my way, of course, I'm going to move to avoid you!"
Liam chuckled in amusement, "So you don't know me? What a coincidence. I'm also staying in the hospital, in the room right next to yours. I'm sure I'll get to know you pretty well as the days go by." Anna felt a chill on her back. What did Liam mean by that? He was staying in the hospital!? In the room next to hers!?
"Why are you here!? Are you unwell? Is it because your womanizing ways have drained your body to the point it no longer works?" mocked Anna.
Liam's complexion had only started to improve when it instantly became as black as ink. He applied more force with his hands and his voice was filled with a chilling energy.
"Don't you know whether my body works or not?"
"Quiet down. This is a hospital corridor, not your house. I'm your nephew's fiancee so can you pay more attention to your behavior?"
Anna was extremely anxious. She could vaguely hear the whispered discussions all around them.
"Huh? Isn't that Mr. Ackman? I heard that he's gay. Why is he chasing that woman so intently?"
"Don't you know? That woman is no ordinary girl.
She's the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family and the heir of the Lincoln Group! She's the Ackman prince's nephew's fiancee! The granddaughter-in-law of the Dawson family!" "Oh my goodness! So that's her!"
"However, it seems like the uncle doesn't like her very much. Look at how grim his expression is. I get the feeling that he's about to crush Miss Hamilton's eyes."
"That's right. That woman must have tried to seduce the uncle first but she didn't know that he was gay. Well, her plan backfired. Haha..."
A couple of the nurses started laughing and the more they spoke, the more outrageous they became...
Liam overheard their discussions and swept his sharp gaze towards them. Everyone instantly became mute and rushed off to their respective duties.
"You heard it for yourself. You were the one who seduced me. I'm completely innocent!"
Liam did not know why as soon as he held Anna's small, frail-looking hand, all of his rage disappeared immediately and his mood improved.
"You're so thick-skinned!" raged Anna through gritted teeth.
Liam smiled wickedly and his tone became devious, "Go ahead and tell me, does my body work? Would you like me to let you test it right now? I seem to recall that I owe you five times?"
Anna blushed furiously. She shook his hand off and was about to escape. If this continued, there was no telling what unsavory things this huge pervert, Liam Ackman, would continue to say. If that happened, she would not be able to cleanse herself fully even if she jumped into the Pacific ocean.
She increased the speed of her footsteps. However, because she could not see a thing with her eyes, she soon stumbled and her body went tumbling forwards...
Suddenly, she was fished up by a large hand and held tightly in a warm embrace.
Liam's delicious scent filled her nose and Anna could feel the firm bulge on his lower abdomen... She was so frightened that she started to struggle. Her blush instantly spread down from her cheeks until her entire neck was red as well.
"Have you always been this reckless?"
"You're the reckless one! Hurry up and let go of me, you pervert!"
Anna was out of her mind with anger. She had never been this reckless in the past. She had always been calm and stoic. However, every time that she encountered Liam, all the rage inside her would be stoked and she found herself unable to suppress the anger inside her.
Anna pushed against Liam's sturdy, muscular arms but Liam moved and bend down to pick her up.
She gasped in surprise and her hands moved subconsciously to wrap themselves around Liam's neck. Soon after, she heard him chuckle lightly.
"It seems as though your body is more honest."
Anna was about to go crazy! This was a hospital corridor where people would pass frequently. How dare Liam do such a thing here!?
Was he completely unbothered that people might mistake their relationship by carrying her like this?
"Liam Ackman put me down! I can walk."
Anna lowered her voice and her tone carried a sense of pleading. It was coy and very pleasing to the ears.
Liam's thin lips curved into a smile. When he felt the soft and graceful body of the little woman in his arms, his heart began to race and the fire in some parts of his body began to burn more intensely. "Miss Anna, you're overthinking. I merely thought that your fierce appearance looked too unsightly! I'm carrying you so that you'll be a little more honest."
