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

Chapter 343 Are You Lying to Me?

Bruce struggled with his wheelchair and called out Chloe's name.

Chloe was ready to head home with Bryan in tow but turned around anxiously at the sound of her name.

Seeing his face splattered with bruises, she sucked in a cold breath.

"Who is he?" Bryan frowned and looked at Bruce.

Chloe hurriedly tugged at his sleeve to leave.

"What's wrong, Chloe? Who is he? Why does he know you?"

Chloe grew uneasy, her heart raced in her chest trying to think of an excuse to feed Bryan.

"Bryan dear, have you forgotten? News about us has splattered across the newspapers! Everyone in Johannes City knows us!"

Bryan still had his head turned towards Bruce.

Because Bruce was struggling fervently in the wheelchair, even urging the pushers to push him faster to catch up with Chloe.

Somehow, Bryan felt there was something weird about the man littered with injuries.

But he couldn't place his finger on the exact reason why.

He didn't know this man at all, and his bruise-littered faces didn't seem familiar.

Chloe knew Bryan was starting to grow suspicious, and said in a panic, "Bryan, I'm pregnant now, nothing can happen to me! Not everyone who knows me has pure intentions, we should leave

immediately!"

After news spread that Chloe was a man-snatcher, even going so far as getting pregnant with her sister's fiance's child, the internet was awash with angry citizens seeking her out to teach this shameless lady a lesson. Of course, many threats to take physical action were made.

Bryan was worried a similar incident would occur and hurriedly left the hospital with Chloe in tow.

Chloe sat in the car, feeling panicked and uneasy, her palms drenched in a cold sweat.

"Uhm, Bryan dear... send me home please, I left something at home and would like to collect it."

Bryan drove Chloe home, intending to accompany her into the house and later send her back to the Dawson home.

"Don’t you have a meeting later? You should leave now! Go to work! I'll get the driver to send me home."

Bryan glanced down at his watch.

"Alright, be careful." "Ok, I will."

Her mother was shocked to see her home.

"You just got married, why are you home?"

"Where's Daddy? Is he home?"

"He's in the office. What’s wrong? You look terrible.” Nicole asked her worriedly.

Chloe tugged her mother into her room, and locked the door behind them, whispering in her ear, "I ran into Bruce Walker! He's staying in the hospital! He was beaten up so badly, his face was littered

with bruises and his leg wrapped up in plaster!”

"What? You met him at the hospital? Where did he get the money to stay in such an expensive hospital?" Nicole turned pale.

Chloe shook her head, "I have no idea!"

"Mom, he was beaten up so badly! He even shouted out my name! I hate him!"

"Why wasn't he beaten to death? If he died, our worries would be over once and for all!"

Nicole pondered the issue for a moment and told her daughter the whole story.

"What? You hired someone to beat him up?"

Nicole nodded, "I didn't dare take his life! If anything happened, even I wouldn't be able to save us!"

Chloe and her mother were almost hysterical with panic.

"I thought he would die from his injuries once he was beaten up and didn’t have the money to seek treatment. Who knew he could pay to be hospitalized!" Nicole said furiously.

"Mom, we have to think of a way to get rid of him!"

Chloe frowned in thought, and suddenly a lightbulb lit up in her eyes.

"Mom, many issues of medical malpractice occur in the hospital every year, why can’t it happen to him?"

Nicole was shocked, she never expected her daughter t o suggest murdering her own father.

But after thinking about it, now this was the only way t o save them.

"Okay, don't interfere in this matter, I will figure out a solution," her mother said.

Liam had tormented her the whole of last night.

He found some kindness in his heart and gave her another day off.

Anna held her sore waist, "I’m highly suspicious that b y hiring me as an intern at your company, you mostly want me to work in your bed."

Liam put on his clothes, raising a thick eyebrow, "I’m glad you realize that."

Anna was speechless.

She glared at him furiously, "Don’t you think you should prepare some medicine at home?”

"What medicine?"

Anna pointed at her belly, further south and back at her waist again.

“You know what I mean!" NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

With a flash of his mind, he did understand.

"Birth control pills, and some ointment for pain relief."

Liam nodded solemnly, "We have been together for some time but nothing has happened, I don't think you need birth control."

"But I really should prepare some ointment you mentioned."

Anna was furious, "What do you mean I don’t need birth control? I am a perfectly normal and healthy woman, ok!"

"I don’t know whether you're healthy or not, but you're definitely normal." He looked at her meaningfully," After all you're very passionate."

Anna gritted her teeth in anger, "LIAM. ACKMAN.”

Liam laughed and walked out of the bedroom, "The servants have breakfast ready. If you want to take a nap, you can eat later. If not, get up and have breakfast now."

Anna held up the pillow and flung it in the direction o f the exit, but Liam had already shut the door behind him.

Anna flopped back onto the bed in anger, buried herself under the covers, and kicked around furiously t o vent her anger.

That damn Liam, screw him!

Mentally, she cursed him at least a thousand times.

Liam started the ignition of his car, he was in a great mood today.

He did suffer from a sleeping disorder, but every time Anna was with him he could sleep soundly. He wasn't sure whether that was because he was exhausted from the strenuous exercise or because he was hugging her.

Every time they were together, he fell into a deep, dreamless sleep and would wake up refreshed the next morning.

On his way to work, he drove past the hospital.

He parked the car and entered the hospital.

He felt embarrassed to buy the medicines Anna requested.

But he could visit Michael while he was here.

The moment he walked to Michael's office, he saw Michael and Nina exiting said room, hand in hand.

Nina paused in her tracks, the smile freezing on her face.

"Mr... Mr. Ackman."

Liam's gaze swept across her face emotionlessly, onto Michael and said in a low voice, "Are you off- duty now? Come out for a second."

Michael didn't know that Liam had warned Nina about him.

He smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so serious? Are you here again because someone has a n incurable disease?"

Then, he clutched Nina’s hand tighter in his and introduced her to him with a smile.

"Allow me to make a formal introduction, this is my girlfriend, Nina Scott. You’ve met each other. She's Anna's best friend.”

Nina was frozen stiff, she wanted to pull her hand back, but his grip on her was too tight.

He brushed the action off as her being shy, the smile still shining brightly on his face.

Liam raised his eyebrows, glanced at Nina coldly, voice filled with suppressed rage.

"Oh? So Miss Scott, you were lying to me?"
