Nina scratched her head in confusion when she saw everyone's anxious expressions.
She sat down on Anna’s bed and opened the bag she brought. The aroma of fried chicken diffused throughout the entire room.
"Ta-da! Your favorite fried chicken is here, Anna. I'll feed you.'
"Wow! Fried chicken!" Anna immediately started to drool. "It'd be perfect if there's a bottle of beer now."
Anna rubbed her hands together impatiently and opened her little mouth. She took a bite of the fried chicken that Nina was feeding her.
Just then, a soft cough sounded in the room.
Everyone turned to Liam to see that he was glaring disgruntledly at Anna, who was enjoying her fried chicken.
Nonetheless, Anna could not see his expression, so she continued to merrily bite into her chicken and sucked on her fingers from time to time.
Nina felt a shiver down her spine. "Uh... Mr. Ackman, would you like some?"
Liam glanced disgustedly at the oil-drenched fried chicken. 'How can she like this kind of junk food!
'Does she not know her eyes are still healing! She shouldn't be eating unhealthy deep-fried food!
'On top of that, she's even thinking about drinking beer!'
"Yeah," Liam replied nonchalantly.
Nina glanced at Anna, who was still enjoying her chicken. She awkwardly picked up the bag and carefully shuffled toward Liam, presenting him with the bag of fried chicken.
Liam raised his brows at her. Frightened, Nina had no idea what kind of expression she should serve his gaze with. Alas, she could only blush and smile at him courteously.
"Mr. Ackman, enjoy your meal."
Nina left the bag and quickly turned away, exhaling deeply and patting her chest.
Nina strongly believed that interacting with an iceberg like Liam could be the death of her.
Meanwhile, Anna continued to suck on her fingers incessantly. "Nina, you really are my adorable little angel! Quick, give me another piece!
"The hospital serves me clear soup every day. It’s like torture!" Anna reached out her petite hand, waiting for another piece of fried chicken to bite into.
Nina smiled dryly. She turned her head to see Liam eating the fried chicken elegantly. She had no courage
to snatch food from a tiger.
Thus, she could only whimper, "Anna, there’s no more. Mr. Ackman ate all of it."
“Give me one more. Just one." Anna was craving for more. The petite hand she reached out was grabbing impatiently at the air.
Nina glanced at Liam again, then continued to mumble, "There isn't any left. If you want it, you'll have to snatch it from Mr. Ackman's mouth.”
Anna bashed her blanket angrily. "Heartless bastard! Even a piece of fried chicken you want to take away from me! Boohoo..."
Seeing Anna's adorable fit, Bryan could not help but smile.
Chloe had been paying close attention to Bryan all the while, She had long noticed that Bryan's gaze was fixed only on Anna-it was as if she was invisible. No one had batted an eye at her the entire time.
Chloe clenched both her fists tightly.
Finally, they got through to seven in the evening. Dr. Moore and Micheal returned with a few specialists. It was already after office hours but none of them dared t o leave. They gathered in Anna's room.
Dr. Moore personally took off Anna's bandages. Everyone tensed up as he slowly unraveled the white bandages around her head.
Bryan thought that he could finally see Anna's beautiful eyes and that this whole incident would finally be over. At last, he could officially discuss their wedding date with Anna.
Chloe thought that when Anna finally regained her sight, all her efforts would be thrown out the window. She would return to her subpar status below Anna's and continue to be forced to endure Anna's attitude.
Liam, on the other hand...
