Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 29

Amelia’s beautiful eyes were staring fiercely at Anna, who just entered the room.

"Grandma..."

Anna quickly pounced toward Grandmother Dawson. Tears were welled up in her eyes.

"Grandma, what happened to you?" Anna's worry was genuine. She also felt remorseful for causing Grandmother Dawson’s collapse.

Seeing that Anna had finally returned, Grandmother Dawson swallowed the heart in her mouth.

"Anna, where were you last night? How is it that no one could find you..." Grandmother Dawson's voice grew weaker as she spoke. She lifted her arm and gently wiped away the sweat on Anna’s nose that formed because she was rushing to the hospital.

Anna's heart ached. She hugged Grandmother Dawson’s arm and placed her hand on her cheek.

"Grandma, it’s all my fault... I’m sorry for making you worry, Grandma."

When Amelia noticed Grandmother Dawson’s gaze softening, she raged internally. "Humph! Ms. Hamilton sure is on a different level. Her mysterious disappearance landed Grandma in the hospital, yet with a simple 'sorry', she emerges with a clean slate."

Nicole and Chloe exchanged glances. Nicole inquired caringly, "Anna, where were you last night? I was worried sick about you."

Anna shot a glance at Liam, who sat calmer than a stagnant pond. She smiled and said, "I had some errands to run last night, so I went out."

"You went out? To where? Why didn't you bring your phone? What’s so urgent that you had to leave at night! You know, everyone thought that you ran away with some rogue!” Amelia mocked.

"Enough! How could a Dawson spit such vile words from her mouth!" Grandmother Dawson scolded angrily.

Amelia bit her lip in anger. She complained discontentedly, "Grandma, she tarnished the Dawson family's reputation, so why can’t I tell her off!"

"Anna, what's so urgent that you had to leave in the middle of the night? You didn't even tell Mommy about it. She was so worried about you," Chloe asked i n a low voice as she stared blinkingly at Anna with big, innocent eyes.

Even so, in Chloe's mind, she was thinking about how Anna should have been incapacitated by the drug by then. How did she manage to vanish from her room?

Grandmother Dawson gazed at Anna with serious eyes but did not say a word.

Clearly, she wanted to know what happened too.

Nicole was secretly delighted. She hurriedly condemned, "Anna, this incident is truly your fault! If something had happened, you should have told everyone instead of just vanishing like that! No one would blame you for it! Now, you’ve embarrassed the Dawson family and dragged Madam Dawson's name through the mud!”

Anna turned to Nicole in silence. The moment she opened her mouth, Amelia butted in.

"Anna Hamilton, what exactly happened between you and Ryan Sanchez? You better clear this up right now and leave us Dawsons out of your disgraceful acts!" Amelia crossed her arms and held her chin up high with pride.

Chloe took the chance to add insult to injury. "That's right, Anna. It's not like you're unaware of the kind of man Ryan Sanchez is. Why would you interact with a man like that? I was so shocked when I saw him naked on your bed earlier today!

"Anna, he didn’t do anything to you, right? If he did, you must tell us! Us Hamiltons will never forgive him!"

Anna turned to Chloe quietly. Her words may sound caring, but they also made it sound as if her illicit relationship with Ryan was a sure thing.

Anna’s heart ached a little as she gazed at the woman who she always loved and pampered as her real sister.

She never would had thought that a human's true nature was deception.

Just then, Bryan darted into the room from outside and clutched Anna's wrist.

In an aggressive tone, he interrogated, "Anna Hamilton, where the hell were you! What exactly happened between you and Ryan!"

Bryan’s grip was firm. Anna felt as if her bones might shatter.
