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

Chapter 107 A Head Full Of Malice

Daniel sat on the sofa, smoking. Nicole fixed her gaze o n him, observing his reaction. When he saw a hint of suspicion toward Anna in his eyes, she smiled and quickly spoke up.

"Perhaps I had hoped too hard for Anna to get better! You’re right, how can the best hospital in the city make a wrong diagnosis."

"Yeah, you must be overthinking things! You probably care too much about her. If Anna can see, why would she say she can't?

"Besides, look at the state she’s in now. How can you say she's pretending!" Daniel growled.

"Danny, I never said Anna is pretending to be blind!" Nicole hurriedly corrected, "Anna has always been distant toward us, but I know she's an honest kid!"

Nicole sighed. "I can’t be at peace with her current state. I keep feeling like I’m not taking care of her well enough."

"Don’t say that. You’re already taking care of her so well. Anna didn’t have a mother since she was a young child, so her personality can be a little conceited. Give it some time, she’ll get better! You must be tired, Nicole." Daniel's gaze turned slightly warm.

Nicole put on a tender smile and came to Daniel's side, gently rubbing his shoulders.

In a soft tone, she said, "Nonsense! I’m a mother! I may not be Anna’s biological mother, but she's still your daughter. From the first I married into this family, I’ve seen Anna as my own.

"Danny, I was wrong. I should have endured and tolerated anything that Anna does. I shouldn't have burst into tears in front of our children.

"Rest assured, Danny. From today onwards, I will take even better care of Anna."

Daniel patted her hand. He did not see the sinister look that flashed across the eyes of the woman behind him.

"I’m happy to hear that. A family should always live in harmony. I wish to see the day all three of you can live in harmony," Daniel said earnestly, "As long as you three can live in peace, I too, can be at ease while at work."

"Danny, I'll handle everything at home. You don't have to worry about that." Nicole hugged him from behind.

"Alright." Then, he added, "As for Chloe, please tell her t o be nicer to her sister. Tell her not to play any petty tricks."

Nicole's heart skipped a beat. "Danny, w-w-what do you mean?"

"Nothing. You just tell her that. She'll know what I'm talking about." Daniel did not explain.

Needless to say, Daniel knew that Chloe had tampered with Anna’s eyedrops. Nonetheless, he did not want to talk about it or cause another uproar.

Nicole gazed at Daniel with wary eyes. She tried her best to keep her voice soft and sweet. "She's just a child, you know? Sometimes they throw little tantrums by causing mischief. I'll be sure to teach her a lesson!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Chloe came into Anna's room with a bowl of oatmeal.

She sauntered in without knocking.

"Anna, you must be hungry. I brought you some oatmeal! Let me feed you some."

Anna had her back turned against Chloe. She quietly kept her phone away.

There was no way Chloe brought her oatmeal out of kindness-the mother did not succeed, so perhaps it was the daughter's turn?

"Get out!" Anna demanded coldly.

Chloe suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a cute tone, "Anna, you should eat a little. Otherwise, you’ll break Bryan's heart! He loves you so much. Even when you've lost your vision, he still says he will stay b y your side forever. Hehe...”

Anna chuckled wryly. She rolled over. "My eyes may b e blind, but my heart isn't.”

Chloe scoffed. "Tch... What do you mean by that?" "You know what I mean!"

"I don’t know anything!"

"Aren’t you glad that I've lost my vision?"

"Anna, how could you say that! I was devastated to find out you lost your vision!" Chloe stared at Anna with piercing eyes as if she was trying to see through her.

"Oh? You were devastated? I thought that you'll be laughing with joy.” Anna did not want to see Chloe for a second more. She rolled over and gazed at the bright sunlight penetrating through the window.

"Anna, you don't think it's my fault that you ended up this way, right? Daddy has already investigated it. It was the maid that accidentally left a bottle of alcohol o n your dressing table. It had nothing to do with me."

"Anna, how could you make such a foolish mistake! How careless of you! On top of that, you try to blame the people around you and drag them into misery with you!" Chloe sighed. Her discontent was evident in her tone.

Anna's heart prickled with rage. She clutched her hands together tightly.

At the moment, she had no means to prove it was Chloe—she had no evidence. Her word was not enough proof, so even if she called out Chloe, she would not receive any punishment.

Moreover, Daniel had destroyed all the evidence and tampered with the truth.

Chloe had drawn another step close to Anna, staring a t her from behind with eyes as vicious as a viper's.

"Anna, it’s the maid's fault that you lost your eyesight. Do you hate her?" Chloe probed.

Anna smiled faintly. "Chloe, you must've watched too many suspense dramas! All you have in your head is malice. There's no grudge between me and the maid, why would she hurt me? It must’ve been an accident.”

Chloe put a disdainful smile. "Anna, there's no knowing what a person hides inside their hearts.

Don’t you know that nothing in this world can stay unchanging forever?"

Anna smiled. "You really can't judge a book by its cover. But the only way someone can get away with something is by not doing it in the first place. Thank you, Chloe, for reminding me of this. I'll be sure to watch out for myself.”

Anna deliberately emphasized the last four words. Chloe's eyes turned red with rage.

"Anna, this maid sure is wicked. Karma will surely get to her soon. Anna, do you think you lost your eyesight because... Hehe... I think I said too much."

"Hmm, perhaps you're right. I saw some things I wasn't supposed to-maybe losing my eyesight is punishment for that. Maybe those who always lie will someday become mute." Anna nodded her

head slowly and turned to Chloe with an ice-cold gaze.

"Chloe, you might want to be careful. Karma might come knocking," Anna warned in a low and chilling voice. Her lips curled up into an ominous smirk.

Chloe suddenly felt Anna's piercing gaze. It sent a chill down her spine.

"I want to rest. Get out!" Anna ordered.

Chloe's face beautiful scrunched up with rage. "Anna Hamilton!’

Anna did not even glance at her. She felt the bed with her hands and slowly sat up.

Chloe ground her teeth. She forced out a vibrant smile again. "Anna, I'm here to feed you lunch. How can you shoo me away?"

As Chloe approached her, Anna caught a whiff of the rich perfume on her body.

It reminded her of when she first woke up in the hospital-when Chloe drew closer to her to ruin her eyes. Her chest instantly felt cold.

At that moment, whatever sisterly relationship they had left was completely destroyed.

Anna slowly raised her head and gazed at Chloe, who did not even bother to hide the malice in her eyes.

Anna uttered coldly, “Chloe, do you think I’ll eat anything that you're trying to serve me?"
