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

Chapter 117 Turn Over a New Leaf

Grandmother Dawson subtly shot a glance at Amelia. She smiled and changed the subject. "Anna, listen to them! They keep using the doctor's words against me! I'm the one who knows my body best, and I’m telling you I've recovered a long time ago."

Anna chuckled and said in a soft tone, "Grandma, Amelia is just worried about you. I'll stay with you the entire day and help relieve your boredom!"

"Good, good!" Grandmother Dawson smiled merrily.

Amelia scoffed. "Ms. Hamilton, you really ought to stay by Grandma's side more often! After all, she ended up in the hospital because of you!"

Amelia truly knew how to seize every opportunity.

Anna kept a faint smile on her face, not uttering a word.

Grandmother Dawson's expression darkened. "Amelia, how could you say that? I've already said that the incident has nothing to do with Anna. How could you still blame her!"

"Grandma, there’s no way she played no part in it at all! There's no smoke without fire. The incident had turned into such a huge scandal, yet she still dares to claim innocence?" Amelia refuted annoyedly.

Grandmother Dawson's expression darkened even further. Daniel hurriedly smiled and tried to defuse the situation.

"Haha, Madam Dawson, although Anna is not to be blamed for the incident, she was still the root cause of it. It's only natural for Ms. Dawson to have some complaints. Please don't let Anna ruin the peace between you and your granddaughter."

"Daniel, please don't mind Amelia. I've been spoiling her."

Daniel chuckled, "It’s not a problem. She’s just a child after all."

"Anna, Amelia doesn't have any ill will toward you." Grandmother Dawson held Anna’s hands.

"Grandma, I do have to take some responsibility for that incident. I was wrong, and I understand what Amelia is feeling. Of course, I won't blame her for it," Anna replied in a soft tone.

Grandmother Dawson shot a glance at Amelia. "Listen to Anna and learn to be more tolerant like her!"

Amelia's chest tightened with rage. She felt as if the father-daughter duo was singing the same tune to make themselves look like the good guys while she was the bad guy! Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"I apologize to both Grandma and Amelia.” Anna bowed her head low.

Amelia widened her eyes in shock and stared at Anna with disbelief.

Did Anna get hit in the head that day?

When did she become so docile and willing to admit her mistakes? Did she decide to turn over a new leaf after losing her eyesight?

The old Anna would have sat silently in an aloof and arrogant manner, her expression filled with disdain.

Nonetheless, Amelia enjoyed hearing the high and mighty Ms. Hamilton apologize to her in a submissive tone.

"If you want to apologize, do it properly! Do you think this is something that can be forgiven just by simple words of apology?" Amelia started acting imperiously.

Grandmother Dawson shot a stern glance at Amelia, rendering her with no choice but to shut up.

"Amelia is right. I will try my best to make up for my mistakes." Anna maintained her humble manner.

"Anna, don't take her words to heart. Just focus on resting. Bryan went on a business trip this morning. When he comes back, I'll tell him to bring you out to help you relax."

Anna nodded compliantly. "Yes, Grandma."

Grandmother Dawson smiled at Daniel and said," Daniel, I asked you all here today to discuss the wedding date for Anna and Bryan..."

Daniel smiled and replied, "Whenever suits you best,

Madam Dawson."

"Well, of course, I want it to happen as soon as possible! I can't wait to have a great-grandchild!” Grandmother Dawson patted Anna’s hand.

Daniel was grinning from ear to ear. He was afraid that Grandmother Dawson might call off the marriage between the two families because of Anna’s current condition. He did not expect Grandmother Dawson to have the same enthusiasm as before.

It seemed like his luck had been amazing lately. He constantly received good news one after the other.

"At first, we thought that we should talk about marriage after Anna had graduated. But now that she has lost her eyesight, I was thinking that giving her the joy of marriage might help her recover faster!" Grandmother Dawson explained smilingly.

Wrinkles appeared in Daniel's face as he smiled vibrantly. "It sounds like you already have a date in mind for their wedding ceremony."

Hearing that, both Chloe and Nicole panicked.

They thought that Grandmother Dawson would delay the marriage because of Anna's eyes. On the contrary, Anna's blindness prompted Grandmother Dawson to bring forward their marriage!

If Bryan and Anna were to get married, what part would Chloe play!

Chloe hastily blurted out, "Grandma, shouldn't we ask Bryan before deciding on the wedding date?"

Grandmother Dawson looked up and glanced at Chloe, thinking, 'Since when did that brat have the right to interrupt our discussions?'

Nicole noticed the displeasure in Grandmother Dawson’s eyes. Even so, she was afraid that if she did not help Chloe, the marriage would be settled. If that were to happen, their efforts those few years would all go to waste!

"Madam Dawson, Chloe is right. Marriage is a huge milestone in life. We should hear Bryan out before making any decisions," Nicole smiled and said.

"My decision is Bryan's decision! Bryan has expressed his stance on this marriage for a long time! He loves Anna very much and would not settle for anyone else!" Grandmother Dawson declared.

Having said that, she patted Anna's hand and changed her expression into a smile. "Besides, I’ve always yearned to have a great-grandchild! If you two get married soon, I can get a great-grandchild in my arms as soon as next year! If we wait any longer, I might already be buried six feet under!"

Anna kept silent. Her heart was in disarray and her mind was in chaos.

She did not want to marry Bryan. She did not want to marry that bastard!

"Anna, why aren't you saying anything?" Grandmother Dawson asked in a tender tone.

"It's... It’s nothing." Anna quickly shook her head.

What should she do?

How could she dispel this idea from Grandmother Dawson's mind?

Anna subtly shifted her gaze onto Daniel. He had agreed to delay the marriage when she last discussed i t with him. However, after Grandmother Dawson proactively brought up the marriage, Daniel went with the flow and decided against postponing it.

After all, the marriage between the Dawson and Hamilton family would be nothing but beneficial for his position in the Lincoln Group.

Nicole turned to Anna, then to Daniel. She quickly brought up, "Madam Dawson, Anna has been staying i n the hospital for a long time. Moreover, she’s taking medication every day. Even if she does marry Bryan, they won't be able to have a child in the following year or more."

Nicole's words seemed to have hit the right spot.

Grandmother Dawson's eyes filled up with dejection." How did I forget about that? Anna will always be taking medicine to help her recover. She can’t have a child for the time being..."

Chloe’s eyebrows instantly shot up with joy the moment she heard Grandmother Dawson's words. " Grandma, Anna is still recovering. You can't hold the wedding yet. It would be bad if Anna had to be guided around the entire ceremony!" "That's right, Madam Dawson. There will be a lot of guests at the wedding. Letting them know about Anna’s vision loss will put her under a lot of pressure," Nicole quickly added on.

Daniel turned to the mother-daughter duo with displeased eyes. "This is a serious matter! You women shouldn't be butting in!"

Nicole's expression froze. She mumbled, "I'm still Anna’s mother. How can I not be concerned about her wedding?"

Anna held Grandmother Dawson's hand gently and spoke in an earnest tone, "Grandma since we're talking about marriage, there’s something I'd like to confess to you."

Anna lifted her head and turned to Chloe, who was sitting across from her. Although her gaze was vacant and unfocused, Chloe still felt her chest tightening.

Was Anna about to rat her out to Grandmother Dawson?

Chloe panicked. She would be dead meat if Grandmother Dawson was to find out about her and Bryan at that moment!
