The air in the room turned stale. They could feel their chests turning heavy.
After a long while, Micheal took a deep breath and retorted, "Mr. Ackman, if you're unhappy with our treatment methods, you could have just talked to us. N o need to make our lives hard!"
At that moment, Micheal was the only person that dared to say such words to Liam Ackman.
Dr. Moore turned to Micheal with concerned eyes. He was thankful to have Micheal stand up for him, yet at the same time, he felt sorry for him. It was an incredibly naive move! Offending Liam could mean losing his job! Dr. Moore subtly moved a few steps away from Micheal.
Liam raised his brows. "Did I trouble you?"
The exasperated look on his face made everyone scream internally.
Was he about to mock Liam? If he did, there would be no end to this squabble!
"Mr. Ackman, we consult experts and do thorough research before providing any kind of treatment to our patients and we have proper documentation for all of i t! Your actions are disrupting our work!" Micheal was impatient to get Anna discharged from the hospital. That way, they could finally be rid of the conceited
Liam Ackman and regain peace in the hospital.
The atmosphere turned slightly awkward.
Bryan turned to Micheal, then to Liam. If he remembered correctly, the two were personal friends, good ones too. It was Micheal that arranged for Anna's ophthalmologist in the hospital.
When did their friendship fall apart?
One was a handsome and elegant man, while the other was stubborn and overbearing. Was friendship the only thing they had between them? Or perhaps... a relationship not to be divulged?
Bryan could not help but shiver. He quickly smiled and tried to defuse the situation. "Dr. Hart, there’s been a misunderstanding. That's not what Uncle meant."
Micheal glared at Bryan with an irritated expression and asked, "Then what did he mean!"
Bryan staggered. Why was he becoming the target of Micheal's rage?
Confused, he turned to Liam and advised, "Uncle, why don't you let Dr. Moore take off Anna’s bandages. She has been healing for days now. It should be fine."
"It should? Are you a doctor now?" The coldness in Liam’s voice made his heart stop for a second.
“N-n-no..." Feeling awkward, Bryan hung his head low and kept silent.
At that moment, Liam was a land mine. Anyone that dared to touch him would be caught in an explosion.
Just then, Chloe suggested in a low tone, "Let's ask for Anna’s opinion. After all, she’s the one with the bandages."
Chloe was secretly infuriated. She had a date with Bryan at the cinema that night-if Anna was to remove her bandages at night, her meeting with Bryan would have to be delayed too!
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Anna, who was sitting on the hospital bed.
Chloe could feel Liam's piercing black eyes staring at her. His gaze was as cold as an iceberg and as sharp a s knives.
Chloe inhaled sharply. All the hairs on her body stood erect. She instinctively hid behind Bryan, hiding from Liam's murderous gaze.
"She's right. Ms. Hamilton, what do you think?" Micheal inquired.
The moment Anna opened her mouth, Liam interrupted.
"She hasn’t even graduated yet! What does she know!"
Anna’s heart skipped a beat. She was a little touched. She felt as if a pair of large hands were protecting her from every angle.
However, at the same time...
Was that man insane?
What was that maniac planning to do next?
Anna rested her cheek on one hand and dived deep into thought, not uttering a word.
