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

Chapter 105 She Hit Me!

"Ah!"

A loud shriek sounded from Nicole’s lips.

The boiling hot soup did not spill onto Anna, but was, instead, poured all over Nicole.

Anna had been keeping her guard up against Nicole that whole time. When she saw Nicole slipped and was about to pour the bowl of soup toward her, Anna knew that was her chance to see through Nicole.

Anna grabbed the pillow beside her and threw it toward Nicole, screaming, "I said I don't want any food! Take it out! I want to rest!”

"Ah!"

Her loud shriek was accompanied by the sound of the bowl shattering on the floor. Both sounds reverberated in the room.

Daniel and Chloe heard it too.

"What happened? What happened?"

They came upstairs to be met with Anna hugging herself tightly. Fear filled her beautiful eyes.

Meanwhile, Nicole was screaming in pain as she flapped the drenched long dress she had on.

"What... What happened?" Daniel questioned.

Nicole gazed at Daniel with a pitiable expression."

Danny, I was worried that Anna isn't eating anything, s o I brought her a bowl of chicken soup, but she... I mean, I accidentally spilled it.”

Daniel frowned. He turned to Anna and said in a deep tone, "How can you be so careless? Are you alright?" i

Anna hung her head low, rubbing the red and swollen back of her hand that had been scalded by the hot soup. 1

"Danny, it hurts. I think I got scalded." Nicole raised her arm, which was even redder and more swollen than Anna's. Moreover, she had soup all over her body.

"Ouch, it hurts." Nicole yelped painfully.

"Chloe, hurry up and help bring some medication for your mother!" Daniel ordered. His heart ached for her.

Chloe glared at Anna. At last, she could not hold back her rage anymore. She yelled, "Anna since you lost your sight, everyone has been compassionate toward you because we pity you! But you're taking this too far!

"Mommy cooked for you every day and even brought it to your room! She made sure to cook everything to your taste. How could you spill a bowl of soup on her!

"Anna, aren't you acting a little too high and might!" Chloe glared at Anna furiously.

"Chloe, you can't talk to your sister like that!" Nicole scolded as she grabbed onto Chloe.

"Mom! I just feel sorry for you. Every morning, you wake up before the sun rises to prepare breakfast for

Dad and Anna. You busied yourself the entire day, yet Anna..."

"It's okay, Chloe.” Nicole wiped away the tear at the corner of her eyes as if she was trying to be strong after being wronged.

Chloe's heart ached as she held up Nicole's arm." Blisters are already forming. They must hurt a lot... Mommy, I feel so sorry for you. You worked so hard, yet you don't even get a word of thanks."

Daniel gazed at the mother-daughter duo, then turned to Anna.

"Daddy, you know how well Mommy has treated Anna these few days. You can't let Anna keep this up!

Otherwise, Mommy..." Chloe choked up and started crying. She was implying that she wanted justice for Nicole.

"Anna, what happened exactly?" Daniel interrogated i n a deep voice.

Daniel did see how nice Nicole had been to Anna those few days. He was grateful for that and wished that peace could remain in their household indefinitely.

Nicole glanced at Anna confusedly. She hesitated, but i n the end, still sighed and said, "It's nothing. Anna's hands must have slipped. It was an accident.”

"Her hands slipped? Mommy, Anna can’t see right now. How did her hands slip? She did this on purpose, didn't she?"

Nicole quickly held Chloe back. She glanced at Daniel anxiously. "Chloe, don't talk nonsense! It was nothing like that."

Daniel's expression darkened. He turned to Anna and growled, "Anna, are you causing trouble for your mother again?”

"No, I just don't have the appetite for food, so I told her to take it away..." Anna murmured.

Anna was still traumatized by Nicole’s actions. If that bowl of soup had landed on her, her face might have been disfigured!

'Nicole finally could not endure it and made her move!

'Or could it be that she noticed something suspicious and was probing me?'

Anna raised her head and shifted her vacant gaze toward Nicole. Resentment filled her heart.

'Nicole Baine, I bet it feels horrible to fall for your own trap!’

Nicole could not help but feel like Anna's lips were curved up in mockery. However, upon closer examination, she found that Anna's expression had already changed into an innocent face. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Nicole was afraid that Anna might speak first and thus gain an advantage. Thus, she quickly spoke up.

"I just thought that I should at least let her drink some nutritious chicken soup if she doesn't have the

appetite for food. I brought it over to feed her, but... who could have thought...

"Waa...” Nicole suddenly burst into tears.

Anna froze. 'What is she trying to say?’

“Mommy, don’t cry! Tell us what happened! Daddy is here, he can be the judge of all this!" Chloe was also choking up as she held Nicole in her arms.

"Who could have thought Anna would hit me with her pillow... She hit me..." Nicole hugged Chloe and bawled her eyes out.

"What? Anna hit you?" Chloe's voice turned loud and sharp. She glared at Anna furiously.

Daniel was also enraged. "Anna, how could you hit your mother! Every day, she climbs up and down these stairs innumerable times just to serve, feed, change and bathe you. And yet you hit her?"

Anna’s head was turned in the direction of Daniel. She had an innocent look in her teary eyes. She shook her head confusedly.

Chloe took the chance to dig a deeper hole for Anna. She screamed abruptly and exclaimed, "Is this the pillow she used? Anna, there's a witness and there's evidence. There's nothing to quibble about!"

Daniel scolded annoyedly, "Anna, everyone knows your eyes haven’t healed yet, so we always give you the benefit of the doubt, tolerate your behavior and care about your feelings! But that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want! You've crossed the line."

Anna's eyes turned a little red. She shook her head, trying her best to hold back the tears in her eyes. She glanced at Daniel with a pitiable expression.

"Dad, I can't see anything, so how did I hit Mom? Just now, I did throw my pillow, but it's me who can’t see, not Mom. Dodging is a basic human instinct. Why didn’t Mom dodge..."

"Anna, are you saying Mommy is accusing you?" Chloe yelled in an ear-piercing tone.

Nicole burst into tears. "Danny, don't ask anymore. Don't say anything. I believe that Anna didn't do it on purpose! It’s all my fault! I must've done something wrong that has made Anna bury her anger deep in her heart. That must be why she suddenly lashed out like that..."

Anna scoffed internally. Chloe definitely inherited her expert acting skills from Nicole.

"Dad, I didn't.” Anna's eyes were bloodshot. She kept shaking her head.

It was Nicole who wanted to pour soup on her, She merely threw her pillow out of self-defense. Alas, the person that ended up scalded all over was Nicole herself.

"Anna, you got Mommy scalded all over, yet you're trying to act innocent?" Chloe shouted wrathfully.

"Dad, Mom scalded herself, yet she wants to blame me for it,” Anna explained.

"Anna, I treat you with kindness from the bottom of m y heart, yet you're accusing me? Danny, why would I pour a bowl of scalding hot soup on myself? Anna, I know you're scared that your father will scold you, but that doesn't mean you can make up lies and accuse m e.” Nicole turned to Daniel with a wretched expression and tear-filled eyes.

"Danny, I didn't."
