Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 312

"Keep your distance from Michael Hart,” Liam said coldly.

At that moment, Nina felt her heart splinter into pieces.

She knew full well what his answer would be, but she couldn’t help asking.

"Why? We are just... friends.”

Liam looked at her coolly, "The two of you are not suitable for each other."

Nina looked down. Her long eyelashes drooped, trying to hide the pain in the depths of her eyes.

"I... know, I don't deserve him."

"With his personality, he will only sympathize with you, cherish you and try to help you. But if his family knows of your existence, they will start investigating, and find out everything about you. Do you understand?"

Liam emphasized his last sentence, making his tone sound even more cold and unapproachable.

Nina's heart shriveled into a ball.

Noticing her silence, Liam continued.

"I hope you understand and dispel all unrealistic ideas."

Liam had known about Nina’s part-time job at the Earldom Club for a long time. Even though she was just a hostess, he knew the Harts would never allow a girl like her to be with Michael.

That's why right from the start, he had been against the idea of the two of them starting a relationship.

It would only end in disaster, so he would play the devil’s advocate.

Nina lifted her lips in a smile, "I don't have feelings for him. Why are you telling me this, Mr. Ackman? I know my standing, and I know what I should or shouldn’t do.

He’s just my mother's doctor, I respect him very much! That’s all!”

Nina suppressed the gut-wrenching pain and forced herself to smile, not allowing a single drop of her tears to fall.

"I don’t have feelings for him, I just think he's a really nice man, kind and friendly! Anna was just trying to play matchmaker, there's no possibility of a relationship between us. It's not at all what you think!"

Nina was afraid her trembling voice would her away s o she laughed to clear her throat.

"Anna said Dr. Hart is a good man and recommended him as my mother's doctor.”

Although she had wondered, how wonderful it would b e if she could have such a brilliant and gentle boyfriend like him.

But it was nothing but empty wishes.

Liam glanced at Nina.

Even though he felt pity for the poor girl, he knew he had to be ruthless.

"Michael won't fall for a girl like you. Alright, this conversation ends here."

Nina smiled brightly, big, fat tears filling her eyes.

"Of course, I know he won't like me! If he likes a woman like me, he should visit an optometrist or a neurosurgeon for a checkup! Hah..."

She laughed, but her tears started to fall.

She couldn't bear it anymore, bowed her head, and allowed her tears to flow.

"Mr. Ackman, I know we're not suitable for each other. Don’t worry, nothing will happen between us. Once my mother's condition stabilizes, I will transfer her to another hospital."

Liam looked like he had more to say, but Anna returned to the car with a bag of items she bought from the pharmacy in her hands.

She opened the door and hopped into the car, put the bag on the seat, and started rummaging inside.

"Come on, Nina, I’ll apply the ointment for you. Bear with it, it might hurt."

Nina held out her wrist to Anna, still trying with all her might to maintain the smile on her face.

"It’s just a minor wound, you don't have to fuss over it. I'm serious, just a band-aid will do."

"With such a long gash, it’ll be bad if it gets infected and is inflamed. You still have to take care of your mom. Come on, it'll be done in a jiffy."

Anna held the cotton bud and applied disinfectant to her wound gingerly.

Nina felt tears surging in her eyes again.

All these years, besides the time when her mother was conscious, no one else had been so nice to her except Anna.

Nina forced herself to smile and said to Anna, "Anna, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hide this from you."

Anna didn't answer, she didn’t even bother to look at her. She applied the ointment on her wound and tied her bandages firmly before looking at her sternly.
