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

Chapter 323 A Woman Died

Anna froze under Nina's stare.

"Because she saw me? It can't be." Anna pointed to herself blankly.

"But she pointed at me and called me Miss Lincoln.”

"Miss Lincoln?" Michael frowned.

"Who is she?"

Nina shook her head, "I don't know either, this is the first time Mom has mentioned her."

Michael remained silent for a long moment, then his eyes brightened, "I think I've figured out how to treat her."

"How?" Nina looked delighted.

"I think this Miss Lincoln is the key to discovering the core of her disease."

"But I don't know who Miss Lincoln is."

"These few days when the psychiatrist performed psychological profiling on her, he realized there's a locked-up part of her mind.

As long as we can unlock this area, and make her face it head-on, it might be the key for her to achieve full recovery."

Nina was confused, "But what can I do now?"

"Nina, think about the words Mrs. Scott said in the garden just now! It sounded like a woman died because of her.”

"She blamed the woman's death on herself, she's guilty and afraid, she's terrified."

"A woman died?" Nina's eyebrows screwed even tighter.

Michael continued, "If you really have no idea what to do, maybe you can start by reaching out to Mrs. Scott's friends. Maybe they would know something.”

"My mom has been sick for so long; she lost all her friends a long time ago."

"What about family?"

"Besides the two of us, we don't have any other family! Even if we do, I don't know them. All these years, I haven't met them before."

Michael's pity for Nina and her sad family situation only deepened, the urge to protect her becoming stronger than ever.

"... Nina, what about your father? Maybe he knows more about what happened.”

"My father..." Nina's face turned pale, her body trembling.

She smiled bitterly, "I have no idea where he is."

Michael looked at her subdued expression, his heart aching.

Nina lowered her eyes, it seems like now, she had to try to search for her supposed father.

Because only he would know more about her mother's story.

"Alright, don’t think about this now. Go take a look at your mom in her ward, I have a surgery to perform, I'll visit you later in the day." Michael hurriedly changed the topic of conversation.

Watching her leave with her shoulders slumped in distress, he felt an ache in his chest and sighed.

"Nina, don't be sad, I'll figure out a way to help you," Anna said.

"Anna, you've already helped so much! You need to start work at the Ackman Group soon, don't delay it because of me!”

"I'm on vacation too! I'm free these few days, I can come to visit you anytime.”

"Anna, if Mom suffered a relapse because she saw you, I...” Nina opened her mouth, her remaining words left unsaid.

Anna rapped her knuckles on her forehead, "I understand! I’ll leave now, I won't come to the hospital anymore. Take good care of yourself, call me if you need me.

I'll do some research on the design! You just stay here and focus on caring for your mom!”

Nina’s eyes turned red with unshed tears, but she remained smiling as usual, "Thank you, Anna."

"Sillyhead, there’s no need for 'thank you’s between u s."

Hamilton Villa.

Chloe tossed and turned on her bed, no matter where she lay, she still felt uncomfortable.

Recently, the ache in her belly has been occurring more frequently.

The doctor told her as the baby grows, it was normal for her to experience some pain and discomfort.

But she didn’t know what level of pain was considered normal.

She took a few more pills to be sure.

But she was still afraid.

She was pregnant with Bryan's child now, as long the both of them were healthy, then her position in the Dawson household and her own house would be secure.

Why did she allow herself to be angered by the few sentences that Anna muttered, and almost hurt the baby?

She flipped over to the side, but the jealousy in her heart remained.

Why could her arrogant sister land such a perfect man as Liam Ackman so effortlessly, whilst she had to exert all her efforts for a mediocre alternative?

And now, she had a biological father roaming around outside like a ticking time bomb, lusting after she and her mother's supposed wealth?

He was the reason she and her mother were worried and flustered all the time, sneaking around gathering money for him.

No!

This was unacceptable, seven days would pass by in the blink of an eye, by then if they couldn't produce the money, what could they do if he came and caused a scene in their home?

If Daniel found out, her position as Miss Hamilton would be threatened, and she would lose her strong support system.

Just when she was busy pondering her situation, her mother opened the door and walked in.

Nicole looked at the chaos in the room and frowned, looking at Chloe, displeasure clearly written on her face. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"Chloe, what is this tantrum you're throwing? You made such a big mess, Lisa will definitely complain about this to your father."

Chloe jumped off the bed, her eyes opened wide in a glare, "Doesn't she know who she is? How dare she bad mouth me, where are her manners!

I’ll get Daddy to fire her one day, I promise you she'll think twice before she runs her mouth about me again."

"My dear girl, you're carrying a child now! Be careful, the first three months are the most precarious period, don't do anything rash.”

Nicole hurriedly helped her sit up at the head of the bed and continued, "I made a mistake all those years ago by hiring only one maid, even if your father is used to her cooking, so what!

"Who knows she’s even the maid that Anna's dead mother hired.”

"Exactly, everyday it’s Miss Hamilton this, Miss Hamilton that, she never respected me!" Chloe said angrily.

Nicole poked her forehead gently, "That's enough. Why are you angering yourself because of a lowly servant?

What can become of her? You're the one, so what if she calls her Miss Hamilton?" She pointed to the floor.

Chloe pouted, "It's that stupid Anna's fault, pissing me off as soon as she came home last night."

"Right, Mom, let me tell you something interesting, last night I saw her and Mr. Ackman heading for his private villa."

Nicole froze, "You're talking about Mr. Ackman? Don't tell me something's going on between them. I heard from your father that he's in charge of her practical assessment. It's normal for the two of them to be seen together."

"Besides, aren't there rumors floating about outside that he's... gay?"

"Going home together in the middle of the night, not coming out at all the whole night, what else can it be!"

Nicole sucked in a cold breath.

"Anna admitted it herself, she called herself my aunt, i f not, I wouldn’t be so angry!”

"She said that?" Nicole was shocked.

"I wanted to sew her mouth shut, why should I address her my aunt, who the hell does she think she i s!"

Nicole paced around the room anxiously.

"If they are really involved, we're dead."

"I think so too! Mom, you have to think of something!" Chloe stomped her foot on the ground.

Nicole wracked her brains for a while, then her eyes brightened.

"I have an idea."
