Chapter 468 The Two Strangers
Chapter 468 The Two Strangers
Anna always had a sullen look on her face. Lisa wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say.
Lisa put a glass of milk on Anna's bedside table, and said softly, "Miss Hamilton, milk is nutritious, but you'd better drink it while it's still hot. When it turns cold, it can get on your stomach and it will have an unpleasant taste."
"Once something gets cold, it hurts after all."
Anna was lying in bed. Slowly, she lifted her head u P-
"Lisa, what are you trying to say?"
Lisa sighed, "Miss, for a man as excellent as Mr. Ackman, it is really not easy to love someone wholeheartedly."
"Nowadays, most men are just playing around with girls. They don't get serious, or give their heart to any girl."
"Mr. Ackman is a good man. You're lucky to have married him."
"Miss, after what happened between you and Bryan, you should understand very well how many rich men turn out to be playboys." "There are some things you can just let go of. Don't bother too much with it.."
Lisa's words finally dawned on Anna.
Was Liam her lucky draw?
Since he had appeared, he had literally helped her out of countless troubles.
They had been together for so long. His occasional tenderness, thoughtfulness, concern, care... Everything was vivid to her at that moment.
Although Liam was imperious, scheming and overbearing, Anna truly felt his affection for her.
But, even so, how come she felt so sad in her heart?
If Liam really loved her, why hadn't he come to her?
Anna's heart was in turmoil.
"I understand. I won't give up on our relationship easily. We already have a baby and we are married."
"I will find a way to defend our marriage."
"Miss, it's good that you could think it over." Lisa said.
After Lisa left the room, Anna's cell phone rang.
She hurriedly picked it up and took a quick glance.
Liam sent a message.
"Hey."
Anna wanted to reply to him immediately, but it occurred to her that they couldn't talk things through online. So she rolled out of her bed. Regaining her courage, she walked out of the house and headed straight to the hospital.
Anna didn't expect she would witness Liam feeding the woman soup personally on arriving at the hospital.
The woman was so haggard and emaciated that anyone who saw her would feel instinctive sympathy.
But this could not compensate for the bitterness in Anna's heart. Her husband was attending to another woman, with such tenderness and care!
That taste of bitterness, she simply could not bear.
"Madam!" James' voice sounded beside her.
Without looking at James, Anna turned and ran away.
Liam heard the sound outside the door and his hand quivered a bit.
"Liam, what's wrong?" Winnie asked softly.
When she opened her mouth, she couldn't stop coughing.
"It's okay, Winnie, you lie down and rest for a while.
Don't speak. You can't talk too much right now."
Liam attentively helped Winnie to lie down.
Looking at Liam, Winnie's eyes were sad as well as content.
"Liam, I thought I would never see you again in my life. We would be separated from each other by death."
"Now it's so great... that I can see you again..." Winnie's voice was weak as if a breeze could blow it Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
away.
Liam looked at her helplessly, his gaze... mild.
"All right, Winnie, get some sleep. Don't talk too much."
Winnie nodded obediently, her pale lips out of the lightest color, and then she closed her wide eyes.
Her hand, however, clutched Liam's as if she was afraid that he would leave if she let go.
Liam tried several times to pull his hand back.
He was then worried about Anna and wanted to find her.
But Winnie's grip was so tight that she wouldn't let g o.
Then Winnie didn't know about his marriage. If she knew, she would be devastated. The situation would get worse.
Liam had to make a choice. And he stayed, quietly
with Winnie.
Winnie had just regained her consciousness and still could just be awake for a few hours of a day, and her condition could deteriorate at any time.
Liam did not dare to take it lightly.
This woman, who grew up with him together, if it weren't for him, wouldn't have been suffering for these couple of years, lying in the sickbed.
He owed too much to her.
He was afraid he would never be able to pay her back i n his lifetime.
Liam picked up his phone and intended to send a message to Anna, but his fingers hesitated on the keys.
At last, he just sent a message to James.
"Take care of Anna."
Running out of the hospital, Anna came across Nina.
"Anna!"
Anna quickly collected herself. She struggled to make up a smile to Nina.
"Nina, haven't you eaten yet! Let's go to have lunch together! On my treat!"
Anna found a restaurant and ordered a full table of food.
She stuffed the food into her mouth continuously as if it was the only way to fill the void in her heart.
Nina was sitting across the table. Watching Anna gobbling the food, she was astonished.
"Why are you so hungry? You haven't eaten anything for the last few days?"
Anna took a big gulp of her drink, and then she grabbed a ham sausage, chewing it all up.
"I'm pregnant now. I need to eat more!"
"What about you? Tell me something fun that's been going on lately. Make me laugh!"
Anna would just need anything that could distract herself right then, so she wouldn't think about Liam and that woman.
Nina pursed her lips. "Don't mention it! Since you are not coming to the company anymore, no one there will back me up. That new guy, Wilson, is now my manager. He's just a demon. He assigns me a whole lot of work."
"Wilson finally goes to work at Ackman Group?" Anna was surprised.
Nina nodded, "Besides, I heard he's not doing bad! Once he took the position, he signed two large orders. H
"But he is very harsh on me as a newbie. I don't know i f he's holding a personal grudge against me." "He probably wants to train you so that you can improve soon." Anna laughed.
"That's what he said. He also said if I accomplish the task, he'll give me a raise! But if I can't, he'll dock my salary. That's just insane!"
"If this keeps on, I'm probably going to die of overwork!"
"You're as vigorous as a lion! And you're cursing the guy with so much energy! So don't worry. You won't die of overwork." Anna smiled and took a gulp of her drink.
Nina hurriedly snatched the drink from Anna's hand.
"Anna! You're pregnant now. You can't take any beverage! How come Liam did not send someone to keep an eye on you!"
At the mention of Liam's name, the emotions that had been suppressed in Anna's heart finally burst out.
Tears immediately welled up in Anna's eyes.
She hurriedly worked up a smile and said, "I just want to have a drink! It's okay, just one sip!"
"Anna, you guys..." Nina looked at her worriedly.
"We're fine! Everything is fine! Everything is in peace and perfect!" Anna hastily turned her head to look out of the window.
Seeing the couples walking by, hand in hand, outside the window, somehow, she thought of Liam and the woman.
Anna's mood sank, and suddenly, the food all over the table lost its taste.
Nina saw something abnormal with Anna, so she asked softly, "What's wrong, Anna? Did you and Mr. Ackman have a quarrel?"
Anna shook her head. "No, we didn't. How could we quarrel when we couldn't even see each other?"
Nina got angry, "What kind of marriage is this? It's like two strangers."
"Anna, I'll take you to find Mr. Ackman!"
