Chapter 400 Why Was He Angry
Chapter 400 Why Was He Angry
Slowly Anna opened her eyes. The white-painted ceiling and the dazzling bulb light came into her eyes.
She was in a daze. It was like a few months ago when she had been hospitalized for an eye injury.
She hurriedly closed her eyes. It took quite a while for her to recover herself. Then gradually she opened her eyes again.
There was pain everywhere in her body. Her head ached as well, and her consciousness was in chaos.
She tried to recall her memory. But all she could remember was that she had passed out and fallen into Liam's arms, and after that, she had no idea.
"Anna, you're awake?"
An elderly and compassionate voice sounded in her ear.
Anna turned her head and saw Grandmother Dawson looking at her concernedly.
"Grandma..." Anna strained to open her mouth and made a hoarse sound. Her throat was dry and sore.
Grandmother Dawson patted her on the shoulder and said tenderly, "Don't be in such a hurry to talk, Anna. You are still too weak. You need to rest. Let grandma help you up and drink some water."
"Let me do it."
Anna turned her eyes in the direction of the voice, and only then did she see that Liam was standing a few feet away, his arms crossed over his chest.
He had changed into a clean suit, his hair unkempt and hanging naturally over his brow, which made him look less stern but a bit more mild.
When he came closer and reached out to help her up, Anna noticed that his hands were wrapped in thick gauze. Tears burst out of her eyes instantly.
Was he hurt because of rescuing her?
She wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry so badly. What had happened yesterday had really freaked her out.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Liam's hand movements stopped abruptly.
He followed Anna's eyes and saw his gauzed wrist. He said in a low voice.
"It's fine."
His large palm, which was holding her, began to soften...
At that moment, Anna couldn't help herself from leaning into Liam's arm, even though she knew that Grandmother Dawson may find out about their relationship.
She grabbed Liam's arm and wouldn't let go. She couldn't resist her raging tears...
Anna looked up at Liam, her tears running down her cheeks to the corners of her lips, salty and bitter, but with a taste of sweetness.
Liam kept still and quiet, letting her hold his hand.
He wanted more than anything to hold her in his arms and tell her that it was all over.
But Grandmother Dawson was here, so he couldn't do that.
Anna had always wanted to keep their relationship from going public.
Grandmother Dawson thought Anna was so frightened and hadn't recovered herself that she lost her mind.
Grandmother Dawson wiped the tears from her face and looked at her with compassion. She sighed, "Poor Anna, you and the baby have suffered so much. Thank God! Nothing has happened to you. Otherwise, what should I do?!"
The child?
Anna's tears stopped instantly.
She looked up at Grandmother Dawson. Then she asked in a mute voice,
"Grandma, what... child?"
"Anna, don't you know? You're almost two months pregnant."
Anna was stunned. Her mind went blank.
She looked dumbly at Liam and then she turned back t o Grandmother Dawson. Seeing the keen look in the old lady's eyes, Anna felt mixed feelings in her mind.
So, she was really pregnant. So all those unwellness was... pregnancy sickness.
'I'm pregnant!'
That excuse she made up off the top of her head turned to come true!
She was really pregnant with Liam's child!NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
There was joy, happiness, loss, and even some uncertainty... in her mind...
What should she do now?
Should she tell Grandmother Dawson about her relationship with Liam?
Grandmother Dawson already knew about the baby. Soon Anna's father and the whole Dawson family would all know about it. It was time for her to face the matter.
Anna took a deep breath. Before she could say anything, she saw that Grandmother Dawson wanted t o say something but didn't know how to say it. Anna was a little surprised and confused.
"Anna, I need to tell you something. I hope you could understand."
A reluctant look flashed across Grandmother
Dawson's cloudy eyes. She paused and then she said," Abort the child."
Abort the child?
Anna subconsciously covered her belly with her hands. She glanced at Liam's taut jaw out of the corner of her eye. Her palms broke into a cold sweat.
"Grandma, why..."
"Ugh...I know you've suffered a lot because of Chloe and Bryan. You're a good and sensible kid. I always felt we all owed you too much."
"But you know that Chloe is married to Bryan. She is now Bryan's wife, a member of the Dawson family, in charge of the Dawson family in the future..."
"You're Chloe's sister. Now you're both pregnant with Bryan's child. It's not good for your reputation. After all, you're the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family and the heir to the Lincoln Group."
Anna felt devastated.
Anna knew that there was another and the most important reason that Grandmother Dawson did not say.
That was, her pregnancy would have a great impact o n the Dawson family, and on Bryan as well.
People would say that Bryan was an irresponsible man who had affairs with both of the sisters.
Then, that would give a big blow to the Dawson family's reputation, business, and stock. That was the consequence that Grandmother Dawson, as the steward of the Dawson family, would not like to see.
In regards to the family's interests, even though Grandmother Dawson liked Anna so much and wished her to be her granddaughter-in-law, she would give up on her and the so-called "the Dawson's child" eventually.
But again, Grandmother Dawson was right. After all, Anna was pregnant before she got married. As Lincoln Group's heir, this was absolutely intolerable.
But this was Anna and Liam's child!
Her baby! Her flesh and blood! He survived after all these trials and tribulations. Anna could not or allow anyone to hurt her baby.
Why should her baby be sacrificed!
Anna looked up at Liam, to see what his intention was.
However, Liam looked calm and detached. There was n o other expression on his face.
Suddenly, a sense of desolation overwhelmed Anna.
Liam didn't want the child either, did he?
In his eyes, she didn't mean anything, did she?
He despised her and the child, didn't he?
Anna wouldn't believe that. However, the detachment i n his eyes forced her to admit it.
Grandmother Dawson looked at Anna with a deep gaze. "Anna, you've always been a sensible girl. Please! Just even it's for your own good. I'm begging you."
Anna slowly lowered her eyelids, tears lining her eyelashes.
"Let me think about it." Her voice was so weak that as i f her breath could not carry it.
Suddenly, Liam's face turned terrifyingly grim. He glared at Anna mercilessly.
What was going through this woman's mind?
That she would have to think about it!
Did she really want to abort their child?
That was so ridiculous!
Liam made a chill snort. Then he turned around and strode away.
He slammed the door so loudly that it startled Anna and her shoulders shivered.
Grandmother Dawson was also startled. She was confused, "Why was Liam so angry?"
Grandmother Dawson could not figure out what was going with Liam.
By all accounts, that she told Anna to abort the baby, it seemed to have nothing to do with Liam.
It was no wonder that Grandmother Dawson would not understand. If calculated by the month of the baby, when Anna got pregnant, she and Bryan hadn't broken up yet.
Anna had always been a quite and well-behaved girl. She would never have had an affair with another man, while she was still with Bryan.
Anna closed her eyes heavily. She fell into the bed weakly.
Was this Liam's attitude?
As she had expected, Liam didn't want their child at all.
Her hands slowly stroked her flat belly while a suffocating pain was torturing her...
