Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 106

Daniel glanced at Nicole and turned to Anna. He did not utter a word.

The air felt as if it was frozen solid.

Daniel was a little confused. It seemed like the situation was not so simple after all.

He growled annoyedly, "What happened exactly?"

Nicole rubbed the corner of her eyes and whimpered," Anna, I can't believe you're framing me. I have always been patient and compliant with you. I treated you as my own daughter. I can't believe you would hurt me like this..."

Anna scoffed internally. If she had actually lost her vision, or if she was still the naive girl she once was, she would have been the one scalded by the soup.

Even so, Nicole continued her wretched act and pointed her finger at Anna.

Nicole could feel Anna's piercing gaze on her. It sent a shiver down her spine. However, when she turned to Anna, her eyes were once again empty and unfocused.

"Mom, if I wanted to frame you, I would have found a better excuse. Don't you think this method is too substandard? I may not be your biological daughter, but I am still thankful that you raised me all these years. But I can't even see now, so is there any point in you doing this?" said Anna with a stone-cold expression.

Nicole's jaw dropped. She widened her eyes and inhaled sharply. "Anna, what are you saying? You're speaking as if I have ill will toward you."

"Dad, I didn't hit Mom. She accidentally spilled the soup on herself," Anna stated.

"Danny, I didn’t... Anna hit me and spilled the soup all over me. It was Anna..." Nicole sobbed. Her eyes were blurry with tears.

"Enough! I don't care who's right or who's wrong. You both have to remember that you are both Hamiltons. You're family! From today onwards, no arguing in the house!" Daniel raged, utterly exasperated with their bickering.

Anna endured the hurt she felt in her heart and maintained a nonchalant expression. "I've always seen Mom and Chloe as my family.”

Daniel turned to Nicole. Nicole quickly declared, "I’ve always seen Anna as my own daughter too."

"Go change your clothes and let Chloe put some ointment on you. Look at yourself! Bawling like a child!" Daniel grumbled impatiently.

Chloe wanted to say something but she could only shut her mouth under Daniel's stern gaze and helped Nicole out of the room.

As they exited the room, Nicole glanced back at Anna

suspiciously.

She was in the perfect position to spill the bowl of soup onto Anna, yet somehow Anna responded swiftly enough to save herself and spilled the soup onto Nicole instead.

Chloe brought Nicole to her room and helped her get changed. Then, she spread some ointment on her burns.

Chloe’s heart ached as she gazed at Nicole’s burnt arm. "Mommy, what in the world happened in there? Did Anna try to hurt you?"

Nicole’s eyes turned dark. She whispered, "Chloe, I always feel as if Anna can see."

Chloe's hands froze. Her expression was filled with shock. "Really? Mommy, did she actually spill the bowl of soup on you?"

Nicole nodded, then shook her head. "That little b*tch, I brought her food all the way to her room, yet she still acted arrogantly and spoke in such a haughty tone. I lost my temper and tried to test her."

"Huh?"

Chloe’s eyes darted toward the doorway. When she saw that Daniel was not approaching, she quickly shut the door.
