After returning home, Anna had a cough and her delicate cheeks were particularly reddish.
It looked like she caught a cold and had a fever.
Anna gave a violent sneeze. She grabbed a tissue helplessly.
She wiped her nose with the tissue and it made the tip of her tender nose turn red immediately and there was a hot pain at the tip of her nose.
Enduring the pain, Anna wiped her nose gently with the tissue. Then she collapsed tiredly on the bed and closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Gemma ran to the kitchen and sweetly poured a glass of water for her mother.
When she returned to the room, she carefully held the glass of water in her plump pink hands and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, drink some water. You will stop coughing and stop sniffling."
"Daddy said when you are sick you need to drink more hot water."
Anna was very touched and she clutched Gemma in her arms.
"You're a good girl."
Gemma carefully put a cushion behind Anna's back." Mommy, it will be more comfortable to lean on the cushion."
"Thank you, baby." Anna gently rubbed Gemma's little head, her heart indescribably touched.
Gemma was sweetly staying by Anna's side and taking care of her attentively.
Every time she saw Anna reaching for a tissue, she would come ahead of Anna to get it for her and hand it to her. "Mommy, let me do this for you. Just rest in bed and get better soon. I want you to get better soon."
"Sweet baby." Anna rubbed Gemma's head again and smiled faintly with contentment.
Gemma carefully pulled the sheet for her mother up to her chest, with a sense of seriousness on her face. She held her hands on her cheeks and blamed, "Ugh, what kind of mommy you are to make us all worried about you all the time. I didn't see you just for one night and you've made yourself sick. You're such a headache."
Anna was drinking her water. She couldn't help but spit it out at once.
"You're the one who makes us worried all the time, aren't you?"
Gemma raised her pretty face. "It's you, okay? Daddy said you made us worried all the time."
Anna shook her head helplessly, her eyes full of love," I really don't know what to do with you."
"I don't know what I should do with you either. You've dropped your coat again."
Seeing the coat on Anna's shoulders slipped off, Gemma raised herself on tiptoes and clumsily helped Anna put her clothes back on.
"Hey, what's this?"
Gemma took out a card from the pocket of Anna's coat.
Anna gave the little one a glance from the corners of her eyes and then she took the card over without saying any word.
But her calm eyes flickered a bit, a little embarrassed and a little helpless.
That Liam had written her a card?
"Have a good rest. Don't think too much. Send me a message when you get home."
Gemma took a step back, pointing at the card, and she sternly questioned, "Who wrote this for you? Mommy!"
"Just a friend."
Looking at the curious little girl, Anna was a little nervous and she clutched her tiny wrist and said tenderly, "I have a cold. You'd better go back to your own room. I'd be sorry if I passed it to you."
Gemma gave Anna a suspicious look, and then she agreed, "All right then. You get some rest. I'll leave you alone. Remember to drink plenty of water."
Gemma ordered like a grownup, and then she went out.
Anna shook her head in amusement. She felt warm in her heart.
Looking down at the card in her hand, Anna wanted to send a message to Liam, but she gave it up at last.
Otherwise, they would fall into an endless entanglement again.
Anna rested at home for a day. She felt much better, and she hurried back to work.
On arrival at the company, she rushed to the conference room.
However, how did Liam know she had a cold? Was the man spying on her again?
Seeing the determined look on Anna's face, the delivery man took the package helplessly and left.
Anna hesitated for a long time, and finally, she decided to send Liam a message.
"Don't waste your time on me."
Anna had mixed feelings in her heart. She compressed her soft lips tightly and rested her thin chin on the desk, showing a look of hopelessness.
Liam's concern for her had gone too far!
She couldn't give him any more chances to get close t o her!
Putting on a firm, chill look, Anna turned back to her work attentively.
At the same time, inside the president's office of Ackman Group
After receiving the package back, Liam pulled back his chair and stood up gracefully.
Then, he raised his handsome eyebrows, his sharp eyes gradually turned dark, with a freezing coldness. H e walked out of the office speedily.
"Terrible woman! See how I will get back at you later."
Liam got into his car and sped all the way to Anna's company.
Seeing Liam, the security at the Lincoln Group building was stunned.
The reception girl stood up with extreme excitement and greeted him with a coquettish smile, "Mr.
Ackman, welcome!"
But Liam strode straight into the elevator as if he didn't hear her. He had a superior look on his face.
Behind him, the crowd exclaimed, "He's so handsome! It's hard to see him!"
