Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 28

Grandmother Dawson lied on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask on. She was still unconscious.

Liam sat beside her bed, gently holding her hand in his.

Although she was already 70 years old, her skin was still as smooth as ever. Nonetheless, her skin sagged and her knuckles and bones stood out prominently.

Liam massaged her hand softly. His eyes were filled with warmth.

"Aunty, it seems you've grown old too."

That was his personality-only toward Grandmother Dawson did the man ever show such a loving side.

Chloe stood at a spot not far from them. As she gazed a t Liam's flawless face, she unknowingly fell into a trance.

Nicole quickly nudged Chloe and brought her back to reality. Only then did Chloe notice Bryan and Amelia's return.

Amelia came in to find that Grandmother Dawson had not wakened up. Thus, she had no choice but to keep the things she wanted to say for later. Nonetheless, she still stared at Chloe with an expression that somewhat resembled a smile.

Her gaze was making Chloe nervous. She turned to

Bryan, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not even glance at her. Instead, he glared at Amelia as if warning her.

"Uncle, you’re here. Let me take care of Grandma. You can rest for a while,” Amelia offered as she smiled and approached Liam.

Liam did not budge nor did he glance at Amelia. His indifferent act made her feel as if she did not even exist.

Amelia was humiliated. Behind her, Bryan’s scornful snicker sounded. She ground her teeth in anger.

"When will Aunty wake up?” Liam asked coldly. In an instant, everyone in the room turned serious.

"Don't worry, Uncle. The doctor said that Grandma is already out of danger. She'll wake up very soon," Bryan replied swiftly.

Nicole would never let go of such a golden opportunity to win Grandmother Dawson's favor. She told everyone, "It's already so late. Mr. Ackman, Ms. Dawson, you should head home and get some rest. Chloe and I will stay here and take care of Madam Dawson."

Chloe quickly nodded in agreement.

Grandmother Dawson had always loved Anna, but Chloe was adamant that as long she worked hard to give Grandmother Dawson the best treatment she could, she would one day get Grandmother Dawson to love her more than Anna.

Amelia gasped, "Wow, when did the Hamilton family become so caring! Is there no one here from the Dawson family? Who said it was your turn to take care of our grandma?"

Nicole felt a little awkward. She smiled and said," We're just trying to be nice. Ms. Dawson, please don't say such hateful things."

"Humph! Trying to be nice? If it weren't for your eldest daughter, Grandma never would've ended up here!"

Amelia's words were vicious and harsh. "Why hasn't that Hamilton girl showed up yet? She hasn’t even taken over Lincoln Group yet she already thinks she's some kind of big shot!"

Amelia's piercing gaze landed on Bryan. "Bryan, could it be that your fiancee had seriously run away with some other man!”

Bryan’s face turned deep green, but with Liam around, he did not dare to lash out. All he could do was glare angrily at Amelia's delighted expression.

"Don’t be too upset, Bryan. Even if your fiancee had abandoned you, as the only son in the family, you still have to crawl to her feet and beg her to take you back

Before Amelia could finish, Liam interrupted abruptly.

"Enough!”

Shocked, Amelia shut up instantly. She did not utter a sound after that.

Just then, Grandmother Dawson's eyelids twitched a little. Slowly, her eyes opened.

"Grandma..."

"Grandma, you're awake..."

Everyone hurried to the bed.

Grandmother Dawson took a long while to fully regain consciousness. With much effort, she moved her fingers a little. Her hazy eyes scanned the faces in the room one by one, then finally landed on Liam.

Liam knew that she was going to speak, so he quickly leaned forward. "Yes, Aunty?”
