Chloe glared at Anna with eyes filled with resentment. She yearned to shove Anna away from Bryan's side.
Anna could clearly see the malice in Chloe's eyes. It seemed like Chloe had truly believed in her blind act, s o she did not bother to hide the animosity in her eyes.
Anna lifted her chin slightly and gazed at Chloe with empty eyes.
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. Although Anna's gaze at her was unfocused, she still felt as if she was being stared at.
Chloe quickly hid away the resentment in her eyes and turned to face in another direction. She did not dare to meet Anna’s gaze.
Anna smiled. She reached out her hands and felt around. "Bryan, I'm tired. I want to sit down."
Bryan hurriedly helped her to the sofa.
Daniel rushed home from work. The moment he walked through the door, he saw that Anna was already at home. A smile instantly blossomed on his face. "Anna, I came rushing home the minute I heard about your discharge. How are you doing? Are you feeling any better?"
Nicole frowned a little when she saw Daniel showing s o much concern toward Anna.
"Dad, I’m feeling much better! I'm a little thirsty," Anna said.
Bryan quickly poured a glass of water for her.
"Chloe, come serve your sister. Don't let Bryan do everything. Let him take a break," Nicole beckoned.
Chloe responded obediently and came over to feed Anna the glass of water. Unexpectedly, Anna smoothly dodged away from her cup.
"It's okay. Bryan can feed me," Anna said.
Bryan brought a straw to her lips. Anna sucked on it gently.
Bryan caringly alerted, "Anna, slow down. It's a little hot."
Anna drank a mouthful of water. She could clearly see the look of envy emanating from Chloe's eyes.
"Chloe, my feet hurts. Help me change into a pair of slippers. I can't see, so I'll have to trouble you,” Anna instructed politely.
The sweet smile on Chloe's face tensed up. The corner of her lips twitched subtly.
'What?
'You're asking me to change your shoes?'
"Chloe, what are you waiting for? Go help your sister change her shoes!" Daniel prodded.
Chloe forced an awkward smile and hid away the resentment in her eyes. She bent down, took out a pair of slippers, and helped Anna change out her shoes.
As Anna was enjoying the moment Chloe bent over and put on her shoes for her, a sinister look appeared i n her eyes.
'Chloe Hamilton, the game has just begun.’
Nicole’s heart ached when she looked at Chloe. She turned to Daniel.
Daniel seemed to be a little off that day. He was unusually caring toward Anna.
"Nicole, how’s the cooking going in the kitchen? Anna i s malnourished. Tell those in the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes! Make sure nothing is spicy or overly seasoned. Also, no greasy food."
Daniel goaded Nicole to go help out in the kitchen.
"Go make sure they’re not cooking with anything
Anna should be avoiding."
"Alright, alright, alright! I'll go now! Since Anna just got discharged, and Bryan is here too, I'll add in two of my personal dishes too!” Having said that, Nicole darted to the kitchen.
"Anna, your mother is personally cooking for you today. Thanks to you, I get to eat her food too. Haha...” Daniel sat beside her and chuckled. His eyes were filled with love.
"Anna, I envy you for having such a warm household. Your mom and dad love you so dearly." Bryan felt lucky that he would soon be able to enjoy the warmth and affection of this family too.
