Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 284

Anna accompanied Nina to the hospital the whole day.

At night, her father called her home to take care of Chloe. Nicole and he had a cocktail party to attend.

Anna was infuriated, "Don't we have a maid at home? I don't know how to take care of someone."

"A maid is a maid, you're her sister! Your sister is pregnant now, shouldn't you help take care of her?" Her father grew upset too.

"Daddy, you have to know who is the father of her unborn child! I'm already tolerating her the best I can, why do I even have to take care of her?"

"It's all in the past, you have to look forward to the future! Come home, now!" Daniel finished and hung up the phone.

Anna clenched her phone tightly in her fists, wishing she could fling it away to vent her anger.

"I'm human too! In their eyes, I'm like an emotionless robot. They never considered how I feel!"

Her family was like this, previously Bryan was like this, and now even Liam treated her this way.

Nina walked towards her, "Anna, that's because you haven't met the person who will love you with all his heart."

"Now I only have you and Jamie. Only the two of you really care about me." Anna bowed her head sadly.

Nina shot a bright smile at her, "In the future, it won't b e just us. You'll meet the person who will love you wholly, and forever."

Anna scoffed, "Don't keep your hopes up.”

Anna grabbed her bag and headed out, suddenly her footsteps stopped. She glanced at Melissa who was lying on the bed peacefully and shifted her gaze to Nina.

"Nina, can I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"Do you hate your father?" Anna asked.

Nina was quiet for a few seconds, then laughed and asked her instead, "Do you hate your father?"

Anna pondered her question, "It's not hate, I guess. I hated him, when I was younger because he forgot about Mom and married another woman. Later on, he was so nice to Chloe, even loving her more than he ever did love me.

But looking back, I have more complaints, or I guess I just wanted him to love me. He never took my side or protected me, in his eyes, I was more like an outsider. I know why though. It's because of the Lincoln Group and family interests." "That’s because your existence threatened his position in the company. Having a father like this is indeed a knife to the heart." Nina sighed quietly, "I don’t hate my father."

"Why?"

"Because he gave me the gift of life. Sometimes, I'll think that I have to find him, not for revenge or anything else, I just want to know what kind of person he is."

Nina looked out the window, at the shining in the distant night sky, "Someone who gave me life, and yet never appeared in it, not even once.

If I don't meet him, somehow, I feel like there'd be a raging gap in my life. I’ll never be truly happy."

“Nina..."

Nina turned back to her and smiled, "But the past is the past, I won't take it to heart.

My mother raised me. I want to take care of her. What happened in the past, why she was abandoned, why did he act like I didn't exist, all of that isn't important anymore."

Anna looked at the strength and resilience in the bottom of her eyes, and her heart ached.

"Nina, you’re much stronger than I am."

"Anna, I’m doing fine, I really am. Don't worry about m e."

Anna nodded, she wanted to comfort her but swallowed her remaining words.
