Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 60

At the entrance to the operation theatre. The red indicator light was still shining brightly. The smell of disinfectant kept everyone alert, intent on learning what had happened.

Nina paced anxiously in front of the door.

Occasionally, she would crouch to peek through the gap under the door. However, there was nothing that she could see. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and her lips never stopped chanting, "She'll be okay, she’ll be okay."

Daniel sat quietly on a bench in the corridor, his eyes flitting towards the operation theatre from time to time. Nicole and Chloe sat next to him, one on the left and the other on his right.

"Danny, Anna will be alright. There's no need to worry." Nicole gently patted Daniel’s shoulder as she consoled him.

Daniel nodded but did not speak. He wore a grim expression and frowned deeply.

Nicole wiped away the tears in her eyes.

"We asked Anna to come home so that we could have dinner as a family. It's been such a long time since we've all shared a meal as a family. All we did was leave the house for a moment to get some groceries. I can’t believe that such a thing would happen..."

Nicole looked like she was feeling guilty about the incident. However, her words made one feel like Anna was the one at fault here.

Daniel embraced Nicole and spoke gently.

"How could I blame you for this? She was the careless one! She sneaked off to have the surgery without telling anyone. Despite that, she didn't take care of herself after her surgery and spent her days doing as she pleased."

Daniel suddenly thought about Anna in her younger days when she would blink her large eyes at him and call him 'daddy' using her child-like voice. An uncomfortable feeling grew in his heart.

She was still his daughter and he was extremely worried about her.

"Daddy, why hasn’t the operation ended by now? It’s making me nervous. Will Anna be alright? If something happened to Anna..."

Chloe’s voice suddenly broke through the troubled thoughts in Daniel's mind. Daniel looked unhappily at Chloe. Chloe felt her heart lurch. She said in an aggrieved tone, "Daddy, I'm also worried about Anna. O h... If something happened to Anna, what will become of her marriage to Bryan?”

Daniel frowned. If anything happened to Anna and her marriage to the Dawson family, how would he be able to explain himself to Grandpa Lincoln?

Nicole glanced at Daniel and softly said to him, "If anything happened to Anna, you would have to continue to manage the Lincoln Group, Danny. Otherwise, the Lincoln Group will be without a leader and be directionless."

Nicole's words instantly pierced the depths of Daniel's heart. His mind was now filled with indecision because of her words.

If Anna was not able to take over the management of the Lincoln Group, that would mean that his position would be solidified. That was an undeniable fact.

Nicole could see that Daniel looked conflicted. She continued, "Danny, we're all hoping that Anna will be alright. However, Chloe is right, We must all be prepared for the worst."

Daniel pursed his lips tightly. His eyes darkened and became more reserved.

Nina turned back to glare at the three of them." There's just a little complication with Anna's eyes. Don't talk about her like she's about to die!"

Nina finally understood what Anna had to endure when she was at home. It was no wonder that Anna would rather stay in a shared dormitory at the university rather than going home to stay at her family's big mansion.

Nicole and Chloe rolled their eyes at Nina, making Nina angry enough that she felt like launching herself at the vile mother-daughter pair.

"That’s enough. This is a hospital. Everyone be quiet!" growled Daniel. It frightened Nicole and Chloe into settling down and being on their best behavior. No one dared to speak.

"Mr. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton."

Bryan rushed over and looked extremely panicked." How's Anna doing? What happened?”

Daniel rushed to his feet. “She's still in surgery. We don't know how she's doing."
