Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 94

"How did that happen? Didn't the doctor say she was healing well? And that she had regained her vision and could be discharged today?”

Daniel's face was chalk-white. He was at a complete loss.

This news came too unexpectedly. Daniel had already made arrangements with Grandmother Dawson to have dinner with the Dawson family after Anna’s discharge. They were supposed to discuss the marriage between Bryan and her.

"Exactly! Chloe, what happened? I've prepared all of Anna's favorite dishes. Daddy and I had been waiting t o welcome her home the entire day!"

Nicole’s expression was filled with shock and distress. She kept shooting glances at Chloe, hoping that she would tell the truth.

Chloe sniffled. "Daddy, Mommy, the doctor said that there's nothing wrong with Anna's eyes but... she had developed some psychological problems due to the trauma... They don't know when will she regain her vision.

"In other words, she's blind...

"Daddy, Anna has lost her vision. What will we do about Madam Dawson? And the company? Waa..."

"Chloe, are you sure?" Nicole suppressed the excitement in her heart and tried her best to put on a sorrowful expression.

Chloe nodded, wiping away the tears in the corners of her eyes. "It's true... The doctor had personally examined her eyes. There were many specialists at the scene too. They all said the same thing."

An expression of joy emerged on Nicole's face, yet when she saw Daniel's solemn and woeful expression, she quickly returned to a state of despair.

"Danny, the company still has you, but I’m not sure how Madam Dawson and Bryan will react. If... If Anna has truly lost her vision, does that mean the arranged marriage with the Dawson family will..."

Daniel turned to Nicole, giving her a huge shock.

She hastily explained, "What I mean is, will Grandmother Dawson want a blind granddaughter-inlaw? We should start planning for this early!”

Daniel went silent. All that while, he had been keeping Anna’s injury and her admission into hospital a secret. Even so, the truth would have to be revealed eventually. The senior shareholders at the company were already indirectly inquiring about Anna's whereabouts.

After all, it was not long before Anna would take over the company. Daniel might be able to dodge those questions for a day, but it would be impossible to avoid them for a month or two. 1

He would only arouse more suspicion if he deliberately refused to step down.

Moreover, he would have no explanation for Grandfather Lincoln.

As for the marriage of convenience with the Dawson family, Daniel could not give that up either. He needed their assistance to make up for the Lincoln Group's shortfalls those few years.

Nicole noticed that her words had fulfilled their purpose. She shot a glance at Chloe.

Seeing that, Chloe sat beside Daniel and hugged his arm. In an endearing voice, she said, "Daddy, don’t be sad. Anna will be fine. When Anna comes home, I will stay by her side and take her out to relax and lighten her mood. I believe that Anna will recover in a flash!”

Daniel’s tense expression softened a little. He praised i n a gratified tone, "You’re such a good girl, Chloe.

Anna is blessed to have a sister like you."

"Don't say that, Daddy. I've always seen Anna as my real sister. If she’s blind, I'll be her eyes."

"Hahaha... Good, good. You’re such a thoughtful child, Chloe." Daniel squeezed Chloe's hand. Nevertheless, h e still could not rest easy.

Nicole glanced at him and murmured, "Danny, now that Anna has lost her vision, you shouldn't hand over the company to her just yet! How can she manage a company if she can't see?"

Daniel shot a cold glance at Nicole. "I will never go against the promise I made to my father-in-law!"

Nicole was annoyed. "How many years has it been? Almost twenty years, Grandpa Lincoln had been recovering from his illness overseas! He hasn't come home once! In addition to that, he rarely calls you and rarely asks you anything about the company, so why are you so adamant about keeping this promise?

"Danny, it's been so many years. Lincoln Group could not have survived to this day without you. You have poured your blood, sweat, and tears into this company -do you really want to give it up to someone else?"

Daniel stood up abruptly. His emotions were especially unstable that day. "Nicole, you better stay out of my business!"

Chloe was terrified. She quickly tugged at Nicole's sleeve. "Mommy, don’t make Daddy angry anymore."

Nicole took a few deep breaths then hung her head low. "I'm sorry, Danny. I just think it's unfair to you, that's all."

Daniel scoffed and stormed up the stairs.
