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

Liam began the story in a distant tone.

"Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit that saw its mother being eaten alive by a wolf in rabbit's skin. However, the little rabbit chose to hide and not make a peep. Because it knew that even if it distracted the wolf by making some noise, his efforts would still be in vain as its mother would still be eaten alive..."

"After that, the little rabbit still lived happily with the wolf in rabbit's skin, calling the wolf 'Mommy!

Mommy!'. Until one day, the little rabbit grew up into a tiger and ate the wolf alive, exacting revenge for its mother."

Liam's story sounded harsh and emotionless, yet it gave Anna a shock.

"Are you trying to say... I should hide my true capabilities?"

"No! I'm saying you must face catastrophe with a calm attitude!"

'Facing catastrophe with a calm attitude...

Anna lifted her head, wishing to take a look at Liam. However, the bandage around her eyes made it impossible to see anything. She could not feel Liam's expression either.

He patted her head gently. "You should get some sleep. Rest well so your eyes can heal."

Liam tucked her in, then left silently.

Anna could not see him, yet she had an inexplicable feeling that his heart was feeling heavy.

Anna had always thought that the high pedestal Liam sat on was merely the result of being born into a good family and having people making up false beliefs about him. However, Anna soon realized that Liam's character as simple as she initially thought.

Anna lay quietly on the bed. She closed her tearful eyes and thought about the advice that Liam had left her with. The chaotic thoughts in her mind seemed to have abated.

She felt as if she had unexpectedly found an exit from a world of chaos and disarray, enlightened by a new world of clarity.

Lately, fate seemed to enjoy playing pranks on her, dragging her into dreadfully complicated situations.

Anna could relate to the little rabbit. No matter how bitter the days were, she still had to endure them. She had to endure it until the day she could grow up and transform. She had to wipe out her enemies in one fell swoop-that way, they would have no chance of retaliating.

Anna chuckled ruefully. "He must have taken it away."

Anna had not seen the wristband since the time she threw it away.

Habit was a terrifying thing. Anna gently her palm against her fair wrist. She could not dismiss the agonizing feeling that something was missing.

Just then, the cheerful song of Jingle Bells sounded melodiously in the room.

Anna was stunned. She felt her way toward the direction of the joyous music.

The adorable voices of children singing played from the exquisite black wristband that lay below her bed, luring in the princess that was Anna.

She hurriedly picked up the wristband and checked its condition.

Fortunately, it did not break.

Anna curled up the corners of her lips and carefully wiped the wristband clean. As she put on the bracelet, she could feel the emptiness in her heart being filled... Liam returned to his room. After calming down for a while, he started to miss Anna again.

He gazed at the white paper towel James had stuffed between the gap in the wall. The beautiful white flower bloomed exquisitely.

Liam was surprised that James knew how to make flowers out of paper towels.

He went over to the wall and took down the paper towel. Without the paper towel flower in the way, he gained a crystal clear view of the room behind the wall. He peeped through the gap and saw Anna clasping the wristband carefully around her wrist...

Liam's lips curled up into an unusually tender smile.

That little lady did care about him!

Even since Chloe reported to home that Liam was staying at the hospital too, Nicole and Daniel began to make frequent visits to the hospital.

They said they were there to visit Anna, yet all the supplements they brought were sent to Liam's room instead.

Liam felt immensely uncomfortable when he saw that the supplements were all meant for healing eyes.

He wondered, 'Was Anna really so insignificant in Nicole and Daniel's eyes?

'Moreover, Daniel is her biological father!'

"You two should go care for Anna instead! She has temporarily lost her vision!" Liam scoffed coldly and had James show them out.

Daniel and Nicole felt extremely awkward. As they left the room, they assured, "Of course, of course! Anna is our daughter. Of course, we will take care of her."

When Daniel returned to Anna's room, he told her that he was away from Johannes City on a business tripthat was why he had not been visiting her.

On the other hand, Nicole's excuse was that she had been busy at home and was not feeling well. She claimed that she did not want Anna to catch her cold-that was why she did not visit. Anna had a faint smile on her face as she listened silently.

"Dad, I know you're always busy with the company. I'm healing well, so don't worry about me. Mom, I know your health has always been a problem. When Chloe came to visit, she told me about your fever and cold.

"Are you feeling better now? I feel bad that you came to visit despite still feeling unwell."

Nicole and Daniel were shocked by Anna's sudden change in attitude. They exchanged glances with each other.

Daniel smiled and said, "Anna, rest well and you'll soon be able to take off those bandages and go home."

"That's right! I'm so relieved to hear that you're healing well, Anna," Nicole said smilingly.

Anna maintained her faint smile. No trace of disdain o r aloofness toward Nicole could be found in her expression.

Two days later, she would be able to remove her bandages.

Liam pulled open the heavy curtains to let the bright sunlight permeate the room through the glass windows. As the light shone on his tall and handsome figure, a long shadow was drawn out on the floor. Liam stared intently at the field outside the window, where a nurse was helping Anna as she went out to bask in the sunlight.

Anna sat on a bench, staring up at the sky with sunglasses that covered half of her beautiful face. Her smooth, black hair was draped loosely on her shoulders as she swayed her adorable little feet. Liam's lips curled up and his gaze softened as he stared at the picturesque scene.

Knock, knock!

After knocking on the door twice, James came in on his own accord and stood upright behind Liam.

"Sir, your stay in the hospital has been a hot topic of discussion among the board of directors. All sorts of predictions have also been spread around the company."

Liam remained gazing out the window. "Oh, what kind of predictions?"

"Well, there are two. The first is that you've fallen seriously ill, and the Ackman Group might have a new leader soon. The second... Well..." James turned quite.

"Haha, just say it. Rumors are good ways to test someone."

Liam was in a good mood.

James stared at his broad figure from behind and murmured carefully, "The second is that you've fallen in love with your own nephew, but Mr. Dawson already has a fiancee. You can't get what you want, so..." Liam raised his brows and scoffed. "So I fell into depression and hid away in a hospital? Or am I getting close to Anna on purpose so I can split the two up?"

James did not reply. He was equally shocked when he heard those rumors. He yearned to let those people see how Liam treated Ms. Hamilton. No one would dare to call him gay after that!

"It's alright. It's a good thing. With these rumors going around, my mother should be relieved for a while," Liam snickered.
