Liam finally managed to drill a hole on the wall that h e was satisfied with. It was a hole large enough for him to put his hand through and also observe everything in the next room.
Liam smiled in satisfaction and blew on the electric drill in his hand, looking like a cowboy that had won a duel.
James stood behind him and after hesitating for quite a long time, he cautiously opened his mouth, "Mr.
Ackman, we could have installed a hidden camera next door... Wouldn't that have been much simpler?”
Liam’s smile froze for a second on his lips. He then turned back to look at James.
"When did you become so clever?"
His tone was calm and indifferent, yet, James seemed to hear a tinge of coldness in it. The corner of James' lips twitched and three deep lines appeared on his forehead. It was as though a murder of crows had flown across his head.
Was he clever or has Liam lost a few points of his IQ recently?
After all, it was said that love could make one lose their sense of reason and make your IQ drop to zero. It seemed like this was true!
Liam turned back to look at the fruits of his labor and was still pleased with it. "The image on a computer will never be as clear as seeing it with my own eyes!"
"You're right! Mr. Ackman, you’re absolutely right!" James did not dare disagree. After all, he valued his life!
Liam instructed James to hang a picture over the hole on the other side of the wall. That way, he could conceal this large hole. When he was not observing the happenings next door, Liam would still be able to hear what was going on.
"Mr. Ackman, since Miss Anna cannot see, it'll be fine even if we don’t hang a picture there."
Liam thought that there was some reason in James' words. However, he then realized that it was not right. "It’s not good if the nurses see it!”
After all, there was still Liam and her family members who would eventually come to visit Anna.
By the time Anna returned to her room, Liam had already organized for everything to be cleared up, leaving no trace of the impromptu renovation.
Anna had wanted to return to her room to rest some time ago. However, the nurse kept pushing her around the garden, singing to her and telling her stories. The nurse treated her warmly and with much consideration.
Anna was a little tired from all the activity. She could not see so no matter how far they traveled, she felt as though they were spinning in the same spot.
She lay in her bed and adjusted until she was in a comfortable position. She pondered about her future i n leisure.
Nina and Jamie were right, she could not sit here and await death, If she conceded, it would only make Chloe and the others bolder. Then, the things that she needed to protect would be gradually stolen by them, bit by bit.
Her eyes suddenly ached, causing her to gain an understanding of many things. Some people were not worth cherishing. In fact, treating them with kindness was the biggest cruelty to herself...
All of a sudden, she thought that she heard a quiet sound. It sounded like something brushing against the wall.
"Who’s that!" she screamed vigilantly. However, her reply was met with an empty silence.
Anna held her breath and quietly listened for a moment. She realized that apart from the sound of her breathing, there was no one else present.
She let out a sigh of relief and laughed at herself." Haha, have I got paranoid delusions now? It seems like my mental health is fraying."
Over the last few days, Chloe had not appeared in the hospital. However, it was only a matter of time before she showed up. Anna kept waiting and was also on high alert the whole time.
In the room next door, Liam could clearly see Anna sitting on her bed through the hole in the wall. His lips curled into a smile.
This little lady! Despite not being able to see with her eyes, her hearing was extremely sharp!
James stood behind Liam and sneakily wiped the sweat off his forehead. The noble and elegant Mr. Ackman crouched against the wall, peeping on a woman! It was truly a shocking sight!
In his heart, James thought, 'Mr. Ackman! You're a big CEO worth billions! If anyone found out about this, your image would be ruined!'
