Jamie stroked Anna's little face feeling heartbroken." My little darling, was I too harsh?"
Anna did not speak. A sorrowful look was plastered upon Anna's features which made Jamie’s heart wrench. He sighed and said in a serious tone, "Darling, I’m just giving you some advice. You need to learn how to be flexible and be able to adapt to situations. That way, you won't end up like this again!”
"Tell me the truth. Did your eyes get like this because someone was out to get you?”
A sense of sorrow was evoked on Anna's lips. "Can you imagine that? It felt like a burning-hot needle was stabbed into my eyes. 1 think I can still feel the pain lingering even now."
"But... When I was lying here, I could hear Chloe tell Bryan how much she liked him without a care in the world. When no one was around, she even tried to blind me! I feel like my heart hurts even more. It hurts so much that I can hardly breathe.”
"Even though we’re not related by blood, we've lived together for nearly 20 years. Is our sisterly bond so fragile?"
"My dear, you still have me! It's fine, we don't need the Lincoln family or that backstabbing, b*stard of a man. What's so great about them. Come to my bar and I'll take care of you." Jamie patted his chest.
Anna suddenly felt less lonely. "Jamie, you’re such a manly man! If I were a man, I'd definitely fall for you. Naha..."
"Who are you falling for?”
A cold voice rang out. Anna's laughter instantly died. The entire hospital room was plunged into deathly silence.
Even though Anna could not see, she would be able to recognize Liam's voice anywhere, especially this sense of coldness that seemed to rush towards her, causing her entire body to shiver.
Jamie could also clearly feel the temperature in the hospital room begin to drop.
Anna quickly withdrew her hand and did her best to put some distance between her and Jamie.
When Jamie saw Anna’s reaction and saw Liam at the door. He understood the situation right away.
"Oh! My dear, is this your one-night stand from that night? Haha, you have a good eye!"
"Hey, handsome. I’m Jamie. I’m Anna’s...” Jamie thought for a moment. "I’m her best friend! What's your name, handsome?"
"Get out!"
Jamie’s friendliness was met with Liam's usual cold response.
"Oh... You're not friendly at all, handsome. You scared me." Jamie patted his heart.
Liam's face was grim and his dark eyes looked as sharp as knives, frightening Jamie so much that he went silent.
Even though Jamie was a little scared of Liam’s chilly regal aura, he forced himself to be brave and stood before Anna, shielding her behind his back.
"Anna, don’t be afraid. No one can bully you while I'm here!"
Liam wore a murderous expression. The depths of his eyes seemed capable of shooting out beams of frost that could freeze a person dead in his steps.
Jamie felt a chill down his spine. He felt a sudden shiver in his heart. "Anna, I take back what I said before, you’re not the one who’s a thousand-year glacier, He’s the one..."
Anna felt a little awkward. Liam must be about to blow his top because of Jamie! Even though she could not see Liam’s expression right now, based on the cold air beside her that felt colder than the air conditioning, she could hazard a guess at how much rage was on Liam's face right now.
"Jamie, he's... he’s Bryan’s uncle.
"What!? Uncle!?"
Jamie looked at Liam in surprise and squealed, "Baby girl! You have some mighty fine taste! I didn't know
that you were like this, Anna...”
Jamie gave Liam a bear hug and said exaggeratedly," Uncle! What a lovely surprise! How exciting!"
Anna facepalmed.
"Are you leaving or not?" Liam glared at Jamie as he clenched his jaw.
Jamie put a hand on his hip and made a coy gesture with the other hand. "There's nothing good in the entirety of the Dawson family. Don't even think about bullying Anna in my presence! Get out get out get out!"
Anna was shocked!
