Chapter 63 Stupid Woman!
Chapter 63 Stupid Woman!
No one knew what Liam was planning to do! Did he think that everyone’s heart was too healthy? Did he want to send everyone to the hospital due to a heart attack?
Liam returned to sit on the sofa. He did not say a word, his expression icy.
Everyone started to feel uncomfortable once again. They exchanged looks in silence.
At that moment, a doctor entered intending to speak t o the patient's family.
"This is the situation. The patient's situation is a little unique because her eyes are injured. Her care must be provided by one of the specialized nurses appointed b y our hospital. Her diet will also need to be provided b y our specialized dietitian. I hope that we will have your full cooperation.”
Nicole looked at Daniel, "Does this mean that the family will not need to be involved with her food and care?"
"Yes, that's right!” answered the doctor.
Nicole was overjoyed. "As long as the hospital takes good care of Anna.”
Bryan was about to sit by Anna's side and show her some affection as her fiance.
Chloe hurried to remind Bryan in a low voice, "Bryan, Anna needs to rest now,"
The doctor said, "Since the patient's eyes are injured right now. It's best if the family keeps a distance from her to prevent a bacterial infection."
Bryan was forced to stand up and take two steps back.
Liam cocked an eyebrow. "Bryan, let's go and see aunty."
Liam got up and walked out of the hospital room.
Bryan glanced at Anna who was still unconscious before rushing to follow Liam out the door.
When Chloe saw that Bryan had left, she tugged at Nicole. "Mommy, the doctor has already said that we need to keep a distance from Anna to avoid her getting a bacterial infection. We’d better leave soon."
"That's true, Danny. For Anna's sake, we should rush back. There's going to be a specialized nurse here looking after her. She'll be alright," said Nicole.
Daniel was still a little worried about Anna. However, i n the end, he still followed Nicole out.
An unconscious Anna was the only one left in the huge hospital room. She slept alone on her hospital bed, completely unaware of the things happening around her.
Deep in the night, Anna slowly seemed to rouse from her slumber. She was surrounded by darkness and
had no idea where she was.
She was groggy and her senses were unclear. There seemed to be a person speaking next to her ear faintly. That voice was deep, melodious, and filled with a magnetism that made her feel safe.
"Of course I wouldn't leave you here alone."
"Stupid woman!"
Anna gently lifted her finger and a large, cool hand clasped her small one.
She softly mumbled, "My eyes... they hurt...:”
"Good girl, go to sleep. It won’t hurt in a little while."
Liam gently helped her arrange her messy hair.
"Why... why can’t I see... anything?" Her voice was feeble and her entire body was weak.
"Don't be afraid. It’s only temporary."
He lightly stroked the snow-white gauze over her eyes. How could her pair of lively big eyes be destroyed!
He would not let her world be plunged into darkness. Liam leaned over and gently planted a soft kiss on her clear forehead.
His voice was filled with warm affection as he said," You make me worry so much when I'm not by your side."
The next day, in Dr. Hart’s office. Liam sat across Michael, both wearing stern expressions.
After a long time had passed, Michael said, "Why have you come to see me, Mr. Ackman?"
Liam looked at him but did not speak. He continued to maintain his elegant and haughty stance.
Michael stared at his handsome, chiseled face hoping t o catch a glimpse of emotion on it. However, he found nothing.
After a long time, Michael started to become a little impatient after being stared at for so long. "Mr.
Ackman, I have a lot of other patients to see."
Michael knew his good friend well. Whenever Liam had this expression, Michael needed to speak up.
Whether he wanted to or not, he would have to do it.
"Go on, tell me what's up," asked Michael in exasperation.
"I'm not well." Liam finally spoke.
"Where are you feeling it?"
"I feel it everywhere!"
Michael carelessly wrote down a few drug names. "Go and get your prescription."
Liam stood up happily and took the prescription and finally left Michael’s office.
Michael shook his head. He understood what was going on. This fellow was coming up with reasons to b e at the hospital.
He could easily guess the reason that this big CEO wanted to be at the hospital. It was because of that woman, Anna Hamilton!
Michael never expected that Liam Ackman, the guy who had never shown any interest in women would end up being so enamored with Anna Hamiton.
When he recalled that Anna was Liam's nephew's fiancee, Michael shook his head once again.
"Mr. Ackman, Mr. Ackman... The person you have fallen for is problematic. Even though you and Bryan Dawson are distant relatives, thankfully, both are of different generations."
Liam got James to head to the pharmacy to pick up two bottles of vitamins. He strolled along the hospital corridor and casually walked into Anna’s hospital room.
He did not know why the horrible emptiness that he felt inside would dissipate only when he saw Anna.
However, since he did not want to cause trouble for Anna by stirring up a scandal, he had to resort to this tactic to enter the hospital.
Sunlight streamed in through the curtains, falling upon Anna's cheeks. She slowly awakened and gently blinked her swollen eyes. She felt an intense, piercing pain instantly and cried out for the doctor in pain.
After a long while, the pain slowly subsided. She struggled to open her eyes but all she saw was a patch of darkness.
As she raised her hand to touch her face, she could feel the warmth of the sunshine on the gauze encircling part of it.
Anna tried to open her eyes but she could still see nothing. She began to panic.
"What happened to my eyes?"
"Where am I?" She started to shout. She felt confused and helpless.
She fumbled, causing her IV drip to shake. She became more and more frightened by the darkness surrounding her. She raised her hand to tear away the gauze around her eyes...
A pair of large, warm hands caught hold of her hands. An angry voice rang above her head.
"If you want to recover your sight, stop moving! Stupid woman!”
"Liam Ackman?" Anna was stunned.
"Yes.” He responded coolly.
"Where am I? What's wrong with my eyes?" Anna's voice trembled slightly.
Liam saw that she had torn out her IV drip, causing blood to flow down the back of her hand in a thin, red line. His voice was both angry and heartbroken," You're in the hospital. Don't you know that you have a n IV drip on your hand? It's bleeding now!"
Liam was about to release her hand when she gripped onto him tightly. So tightly it was like she was clinging on to her only lifeline.
"Don't go! Tell me what happened to my eyes? Why can't I see anything?”
Her face was pale. There was fear in her voice and even a sense of confusion and despair.
Liam's heart melted and he pulled her into his arms." Your eyes are hurt. You're currently in the hospital for treatment." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Hurt?" Anna wore a puzzled expression.
Liam sighed softly. "Stupid woman, how is it possible that you don't know that you're hurt? How are you going to protect yourself?"
Her hands trembled as they held his large hands. She shook her head helplessly.
"How can this be... How can this be? I can’t see... My eyes... Am I blind?" She began to sob.
