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

The air in the room turned stale. They could feel their chests turning heavy.

After a long while, Micheal took a deep breath and retorted, "Mr. Ackman, if you're unhappy with our treatment methods, you could have just talked to us. No need to make our lives hard!"

At that moment, Micheal was the only person that dared to say such words to Liam Ackman.

Dr. Moore turned to Micheal with concerned eyes. He was thankful to have Micheal stand up for him, yet at the same time, he felt sorry for him. It was an incredibly naive move! Offending Liam could mean losing his job! Dr. Moore subtly moved a few steps away from Micheal.

Liam raised his brows. "Did I trouble you?"

The exasperated look on his face made everyone scream internally.

Was he about to mock Liam? If he did, there would be no end to this squabble!

"Mr. Ackman, we consult experts and do thorough research before providing any kind of treatment to our patients and we have proper documentation for all of it! Your actions are disrupting our work!" Micheal was impatient to get Anna discharged from the hospital. That way, they could finally be rid of the conceited

Liam Ackman and regain peace in the hospital.

The atmosphere turned slightly awkward.

Bryan turned to Micheal, then to Liam. If he remembered correctly, the two were personal friends, good ones too. It was Micheal that arranged for Anna's ophthalmologist in the hospital. When did their friendship fall apart?

One was a handsome and elegant man, while the other was stubborn and overbearing. Was friendship the only thing they had between them? Or perhaps... a relationship not to be divulged? Bryan could not help but shiver. He quickly smiled and tried to defuse the situation. "Dr. Hart, there's been a misunderstanding. That's not what Uncle meant."

Micheal glared at Bryan with an irritated expression and asked, "Then what did he mean!"

Bryan staggered. Why was he becoming the target of Micheal's rage?

Confused, he turned to Liam and advised, "Uncle, why don't you let Dr. Moore take off Anna's bandages. She has been healing for days now. It should be fine."

"It should? Are you a doctor now?" The coldness in Liam's voice made his heart stop for a second.

"N-n-no..." Feeling awkward, Bryan hung his head low and kept silent.

At that moment, Liam was a land mine. Anyone that dared to touch him would be caught in an explosion.

Just then, Chloe suggested in a low tone, "Let's ask for Anna's opinion. After all, she's the one with the bandages."

Chloe was secretly infuriated. She had a date with Bryan at the cinema that night-if Anna was to remove her bandages at night, her meeting with Bryan would have to be delayed too! Everyone's gaze was focused on Anna, who was sitting on the hospital bed.

Chloe could feel Liam's piercing black eyes staring at her. His gaze was as cold as an iceberg and as sharp a s knives.

Chloe inhaled sharply. All the hairs on her body stood erect. She instinctively hid behind Bryan, hiding from Liam's murderous gaze.

"She's right. Ms. Hamilton, what do you think?" Micheal inquired.

The moment Anna opened her mouth, Liam interrupted.

"She hasn't even graduated yet! What does she know!"

Anna's heart skipped a beat. She was a little touched. She felt as if a pair of large hands were protecting her from every angle.

However, at the same time...

Was that man insane?

What was that maniac planning to do next?

Anna rested her cheek on one hand and dived deep into thought, not uttering a word.

Chloe subtly pushed Bryan, hoping that he could say something to make Anna take off her bandages.

Bryan smiled and said in a soft tone, "Uncle, everyone is waiting for Anna at home. Why don't you let Dr. Moore take off her bandages and check her eyes first? If she still needs time to heal, we'll delay her discharge. What do you say?"

Bryan could not fathom why he, Anna's fiance, had no right to make this decision!

"I say no!" Liam crossed his arms while sitting on the sofa and shot a displeased glance at Bryan from the corner of his eyes.

Bryan stole a glance at Liam. On the surface, his gaze appeared calm, yet Bryan felt as if an icy dagger had shot out of Liam's eyes and penetrated straight through his heart.

Bryan could not help but shiver. He hid away from Liam's gaze and shut his mouth.

Dr. Moore could not stand being in that room. After all, he was not young anymore.

In the presence of Liam Ackman, Dr. Moore's body trembled and his legs felt as if they were about to give in. He could not even stand straight.

"Dr. Hart, let's leave for now. We'll take off the bandage later tonight." Dr. Moore wiped away the sweat on his forehead.

Micheal glanced at Liam, scoffed, and left the room.

He needed to calm down. He needed to be left alone!

After exiting the room, Micheal pulled off the stethoscope around his neck.

'That bastard, Liam!

'How can he act so unscrupulous in front of Anna's fiance! What the hell is he thinking? That's someone else's woman! Why does he want to snatch her away?

'To make matters worse, her fiance was his own nephew!'

The hospital room turned silent.

Bryan and Chloe exchanged glances and sat down quietly at a corner.

The moment Bryan sat down, Liam's gloomy voice sounded. "Bryan, are you bored?"

"..." Bryan froze in a half-squatting position.

Chloe, too, felt immensely awkward. She pressed her lips together, wanting to say something but alas, never opened her mouth.

Just then, the door was pushed open again. Nina entered the room with a bag of stuff in hand.

She was stunned when she saw four people in the room. She could feel a strange atmosphere within, yet bit the bullet and entered anyway. "Good morning, Mr. Ackman."

She greeted Liam then scurried to Anna's bedside.

"Nina! You're here again!" Chloe had a stomach full of rage with nowhere to vent. Nina was about to become her victim.

Staggered, Nina glared at Chloe. "Chloe! You're here again!"

Chloe glared at Nina, silently grinding her teeth. She stole a glance at Liam then lost the courage to talk.

Nina turned away and smiled, revealing her charming dimples. "Anna is taking off her bandage today-of course, I'll be here on such an important day!"

"Anna will be able to see you soon! When those bandages come off, the cockroaches dwelling in the dark will no longer have a place to hide. They'll have no choice but to show themselves! Are you scared?" Chloe's chest tightened. "What are you saying! What am I supposed to be afraid of?"

"Naha, who knows?" Nina's disdainful gaze fell on Bryan.

Anna felt for Nina and grabbed her hand, hinting at her to not be so rash.

"Anna, why are your bandages still on? It's already so late," Nina questioned in a perplexed tone.

Both Bryan and Chloe shifted their gaze onto Liam. Meanwhile, Liam leaned back on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes to rest as if he had nothing to do with this.
