Chapter 84 Beggars Can't Be Choosers
Chloe placed the freshly-washed grapes on the table before Anna. After that, she wiggled her slender figure as she sat down lightly on Bryan's lap.
Without waiting for Bryan to push her off, she wrapped her hands around Bryan's neck. She whispered in front of him, "It's okay. Anna can't see this."
After she finished speaking, her soft little hands began to gently stroke the area between his legs, making Bryan feel a different sort of excitement.
At that moment, the hospital door was pushed open and a deep voice suddenly rang out.
"What are you both doing?"
Chloe was so frightened that she stood up from Bryan's lap. All the color drained from her face.
Bryan’s complexion did not look much better than Chloe's. He went so white he was practically see- through.
"Un-uncle... Uncle...” Bryan was so terrified that his heart was pounding wildly. His voice was all choked u
P-
Liam glanced at Anna who had remained quiet. He did not speak plainly. He was a little worried that Anna would be hurt if she found that Chloe was found
sitting on Bryan's lap.
They were clearly bullying her because she could not see!
Chloe was so frightened that she nearly lost her mind. She rushed to explain, "Mr. Ackman... Please don't misunderstand. I nearly tripped and Bryan just caught me. W-we weren't doing anything.”
Bryan also hurried to say, "That's what happened.
Uncle, h-her heels are too tall, She slipped... because she was unsteady on her feet."
He turned to Anna and said, "Anna, please don't overthink. You know how Chloe likes to wear highheeled shoes."
Anna curved her lips coldly but did not speak.
However, when Liam saw this, the anger inside him grew.
This stupid woman! Did she not know how to retaliate?
"Huh? Is that true? In that case, the hand that you have on my nephew... Did it land there when you fell?" Liam's voice was as cold as ice.
Chloe and Bryan felt a chill go down their backs.
Chloe quickly waved her hands and tried to explain." Mr. Ackman, you must have imagined it. That... that didn’t happen."
Bryan saw Liam’s grim and cold gaze sweep across them and instantly felt a pain in his hip. He rushed to say, "Yes, uncle. Your eyes might have played tricks o n you. Haha... How could that have happened? Chloe is still young..."
Bryan awkwardly forced out an extremely uncomfortable-looking smile. He silently distanced himself from Chloe.
Liam's eyes darkened. "So you're both short and have n o talent for wearing high-heeled shoes. Why does the Hamilton family have such an embarrassing daughter?"
Chloe held her breath. She was about to say something when Liam smiled teasingly. His thin lips curved into a faint smile. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Now that I think about it, Miss Chloe, your original surname isn't Hamiton. You were brought to the Hamilton family by your mother."
The embarrassed smile upon Chloe's face froze. A huge sense of grievance spread across her body from top to bottom. However, now that she was facing a powerful person such as Liam Ackman, she was forced to endure the feeling. Chloe allowed this feeling of hatred to flow from her heart, spreading to all her limbs.
Even though Anna could not see, she could imagine how terrible Chloe felt right now. She must look as disconcerted though she had just swallowed a fly.
Anna felt her mood brighten. The disgust and loathing that had accumulated in her heart had largely dissipated. She smiled slightly and thought that Liam did not seem as hateful any longer.
Liam frowned. How could this woman smile right now!? She was certainly bold. It seemed as though she was heartless, brutal, and cold-blooded; not to mention extremely stupid!
Liam watched as Anna’s smile broadened and felt the rage in his heart grow. He said mockingly, "Miss Anna, it seems like you had a good upbringing."
How could she tolerate this and even smile so brightly?
Anna rolled her eyes at him internally. It turned out that the handsome illusion barely lasted three seconds before Liam returned to his original self!
Who had she offended?
However, since Bryan and Chloe loved acting so much, she would play along and fulfill their wish.
Anna looked around, searching for where Bryan was sitting. She spoke surely and emotively, "I trust Bryan.”
Trust Bryan!! This stupid woman truly had a death wish! How dare she confess her feelings to another guy in front of him, Liam Ackman!?
In other words, Anna was saying that she did not believe him. Liam's expression darkened and the surrounding temperature in the room decreased. It was as cold as the arctic sea, causing everyone to internally shiver.
Anna subconsciously gripped the corner of her blanket. However, she stubbornly kept her back straight and lifted her chin. Now that her plan had been set in motion, she had to keep going and cast her lot with the Dawson family.
"Bryan has always treated Chloe like his own sister. Chloe also considers Bryan as her older brother.
They've always had a good relationship," said Anna.
Bryan smiled as soon as he heard that. A brilliant smile appeared on his features while a sense of derision and hate flashed across Chloe's eyes.
So it turns out that Anna could act as well!
"Bryan, didn't you say that you were going to take me out for a stroll?" Anna felt that if she remained motionless like this, she would be frozen to death by Liam.
It was best to make a quick escape!
Anna took the initiative to reach out a hand towards Bryan. This gesture shocked Bryan. He felt as though Anna had started to warm up towards him recently. H e did not know if it was because she could not see. No matter the reason, he appreciated this feeling.
Bryan was about to grab Anna's hand when he heard Liam’s angry shout, "You're not allowed to touch her!"
His icy cold voice frightened Anna to the extent that she withdrew her outstretched hand. Chloe and Bryan were stunned at the same time. Their eyes were filled with doubtful confusion.
What was going on with this uncle?
However, Chloe was happy about this.
Bryan could see that fierce anger in the way Liam looked at Anna. Chloe and Bryan exchanged looks and suddenly felt a terrible chill...
Were the rumors true? Had the uncle really fallen for the nephew?
The atmosphere in the room subtly changed abruptly.
"Hurry up and get lost!" sneered Liam coldly.
Bryan came to his senses and said stiffly, "U-uncle... I’m going to head home to care for grandma. Anna, get some rest. I'm going to head off now."
After he finished speaking, Bryan quickly ran out of the hospital room.
Chloe also snapped out of her daze and felt a shudder inside her heart. She did not delay and timidly said," Anna, I'm going to leave too. I'll come visit you tomorrow."
Chloe ran out quickly like she was escaping something as well.
Everything returned to its calm, quiet state. However, Anna felt that this was merely the calm before the storm...
She worked hard to maintain her pencil-straight back as she sat. Her hands gripped her blankets a little nervously.
In the end, she grew tired and lowered her head slightly, as though she were a child that had misbehaved.
The sunlight streamed in from outside the window. Her fair skin was glowing with soft light and she looked stunningly beautiful.
Inexplicably, as soon as Liam saw her like that, the fury that filled his entire chest instantly evaporated.
He slowly walked towards Anna and his fingers caught her delicate chin.
A jolt of electricity flowed from her chin to the rest of her body, causing Anna to tremble lightly. She subconsciously moved her head away. However, that large hand deftly caught her head and turned it back.
"Do you know about Bryan and your sister?"
The calm, certainty in Liam’s voice made her panic inside. "What about them? I don’t know what you're talking about."
"Haha..."
"What are you laughing at?" He was laughing in an ugly manner.
"Woman. Have you become like a beggar, having no standards because I haven't fed you in some time?"
