Liam gazed out the window. As Anna stood up from the bench, a nurse quickly went over to help. The two o f them slowly headed back toward the direction of her room.
"She should be able to remove her bandages today," Liam muttered under his breath.
"That’s right, sir. Ms. Hamilton will finally be able to see again!" James was happy for her too.
Chloe and Bryan stepped into the elevator and ascended to the twentieth floor. The moment the elevator doors opened, Bryan hastily let go of Chloe's soft, petite hands and strode out of the elevator.
Immediately after exiting the elevator, Bryan was staggered by the sight of Liam dressed in a grey suit.
Chloe, who was following behind, ran straight into Bryan. "Ouch!"
"Bryan, why did you stop?" Chloe pinched his waist with her tiny hand.
"U-u-uncle... What are you doing here..." Bryan stammered. He quickly smacked Chloe’s hand away.
"I’m admitted to this hospital. Why else would I be here!" Liam's voice was cold.
After that, Liam's gloomy gaze fell on Chloe, who was standing behind Bryan. "Ms. Hamilton, it seems like
you’re not very good at wearing heels."
"If you're not good at it, don't wear heels next time!" Liam scolded. His tone was as cold as ice.
Chloe felt a shiver run down her spine. She stole a glance at Liam then quickly turned away. She gazed at Bryan from the corner of her eyes.
‘The Ackman prince... He can't have truly fallen in love with Bryan, right?
'But that would explain why he's always so hostile toward me!
'Bryan Dawson is mine! You can’t have him!'
"Uncle..." Anna greeted timidly.
"Don't call me Uncle! I don't have a niece as old as you!" Liam sneered.
Chloe trembled in fear. Even her fingers were quivering.
“Uncle, umm..." Bryan did not know what to say.
"What are you two doing here?"
Liam asked with an expressionless face, pretending a s if he had no idea.
Bryan's expression froze. He hastily replied, "We're here to see Anna. She gets to take her bandages off today so we’re here to take her home.”
"Take her home?" Liam's expression changed abruptly.
Liam glanced at them with displeased eyes, then stated, "I'll leave with you guys. My car isn't here anyway."
The corner of Bryan's lips twitched. He clearly saw Liam's car in the parking lot downstairs. 'What is he playing at now?'
Even so, when faced with Liam’s frigid eyes, he could not refuse. All he could do was nod stiffly.
"Yes, Uncle."
Bryan and Chloe followed behind Liam, too afraid to make a peep. They followed blindly behind him like two obedient little servants afraid of their master.
The path to Anna’s room could have been completed i n mere seconds, but Liam chose to saunter elegantly along the corridor, taking minutes to reach their destination.
Behind him, the two were sweating profusely, yet they had no choice but to suppress their displeasure.
Finally, they reached Anna's room.
Bryan quickly went up to hold the door for Liam. Liam slowly walked through the door and sat down gracefully on the sofa.
Inside the room, Anna was sitting on her bed while leaning against the headboard, dressed in a loose, blue, and white striped hospital gown. She smiled as she listened to the joyful song of Jingle Bells playing from her wristband.
