Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 401 Mom will protect you

Anna seemed to be asleep. Daniel's voice came to her ears.

"Anna, it's great that you're okay! Daddy was so worried about you..."

"Rest well. Treat yourself better, all right?"

Daniel felt very guilty now.

Thankfully, Anna was fine so that he didn't have to carry another eternal guilt on his mind.

While Anna was in the hospital, Daniel can't sleep well at home.

He often dreamed of Anna's mother. Whenever this happened, he would immediately wake up from his dreams. He was sweating and could no longer sleep.

Nicole stayed with him and comforted him, but not relieving him of his frustration.

Nicole didn't know what Daniel was worried about.

But after this kidnapping, Daniel cared more about Anna. He often thought about whether Anna can eat and sleep well in the hospital.

He also often visited Anna in the hospital.

But no one knew if Anna did it on purpose. Every time

Daniel came, she was sleeping.

She always refused to lift her eyelids to look at Daniel.

Instead of blaming her, Daniel felt guiltier about Anna.

Nicole was angry, but she didn't dare to say anything when there was Daniel, because it sounded like a provocation of their relationship.

But there were some doubts in Nicole's heart.

All these years, Nicole had always suspected that in Daniel's heart, there was a big secret. So much so that Daniel had been subjected to Grandpa Lincoln all these years, even if unwillingly. And Anna encountered danger this time, which just touched the secret of Daniel's heart. It was only then that Daniel's attitude towards Anna had changed dramatically.

Nicole now guessed that the secret in Daniel's heart was most likely related to Anna's mother.

Otherwise, every time Daniel waked up from a nightmare, he wouldn't call out Anna's mother's name.

Anna didn't want to see Daniel now. So even though she knew Daniel was coming, she deliberately pretended to be asleep and won't wake up.

At the time she was kidnapped. Her father called the police. He was likely to have the idea to let her be killed by the kidnapper.

She never expected that her own father had already moved to kill himself.

Anna secretly gripped the bed sheet under her and pulled out a ruffle.

Was everyone around her so heartless?

Was there no one who was true to her?

Soon after Daniel left, Grandmother Dawson came again.

Anna knew that Grandmother Dawson had come to see her again, most likely because of the baby.

Grandmother Dawson had always wanted her to abort the baby.

But Anna kept saying that she hadn't thought about it well. Grandmother Dawson didn't mention this thing again, but she came to see her in the hospital every day. Every time Grandmother Dawson came to visit her, Liam came in as the next.

Grandmother Dawson looked at Anna who was lying on the bed. She hesitated for a while, and whispered.

"Anna, this can't be delayed any longer! The baby is already two months old. It's troublesome if this drags o n."

Anna's eyes were closed. Her damp lashes fluttered.

Her hands tightly covered her belly.

Her eyes closed tighter and refused to open.

It was her baby!

Why did she have to abort it?

What right did they have? Why can they make her abort her child?

"Auntie, this baby cannot be aborted." Liam suddenly spoke up.

Grandmother Dawson froze and looked at Liam in confusion.

Liam was about to say that it was Liam's baby and no one had the right to abort it! Auntie can't do this!

Anna also can't!

Anna opened her eyes violently. She looked at Liam in panic.

She looked at Liam supplicatingly and silently said...

"Don't."

Her fear, her pleading and her silent refusal made Liam's chest tighten. His face was getting clouded. He seemed to be on the verge of an outburst.

But when he saw her pale little face and the bruises on her neck, he so much worried about her. So the hostility around him dissipated a lot.

Liam suppressed the displeasure in his heart and spoke coldly, "That is a life. No one can decide whether he lives or dies."

Grandmother Dawson was silent.

She knew she was being selfish. But for the sake of the family, she had to do it. The success and continuity of any large family required trade-offs and sacrifices when necessary.

She just couldn't understand why Liam, who had always been cold-blooded, could be so kind to a child.

"Liam, I really can't keep this child." Grandmother Dawson let out a soft sigh.

"Liam, you have to understand. Some things are always out of one's hands and one has to make some trade-offs."

"Now, Chloe is pregnant. If we have another child, Dawson family really can't afford to weather such a big storm!"

"Besides, Anna is not married yet. Pregnancy before marriage would be a scandal for her, too."

Grandmother Dawson looked at Anna and continued," Anna, Grandma has analyzed the pros and cons very clearly for you. You are the mother of this child, so you make the decision. I am sure you will make a good choice."

Anna's mouth became bitter. She curled the corners of her mouth with difficulty to form a smile and her tone became distant, "Grandma, I'm tired. Please go back to rest."

After saying that, she slowly lay down. She gently closed her eyes, as if this could isolate all the

disturbances in front of her.

Grandmother Dawson's eyes darkened with a hint of pity, but followed by determination. She propped herself up with her crutches and staggered out of the ward. "Please go out too. Leave me alone." Anna said to Liam.

Liam took a deep look at Anna. His dark eyes and tense face could not see any emotion.

"Anna, what do you mean?" Liam asked, holding back his anger.

Anna still had her eyes closed and refused to look at him.

"What do you mean?" Her voice was thin and wispy.

Liam was angry, "Don't you know what I mean?"

Anna shook her head gently, "I don't know anything right now."

She was so tired.

And she didn't want to guess!

This man's mind had always been deep. She really can't see him through.

"Then what do you know? You know very well whose baby it really is!" Liam said coldly.

"So what? How are you going to admit it? Or not admit it? Either way, I'm afraid you don't want this baby!" Anna shouted excitedly. Her eyes were red.

Liam's fist clenched and slowly unclenched.

"You're the one who won't let me admit it!"

"How can you admit it? How can you admit it? Either way, it's a scandal! I don't want my child to born with such a stain!"

A stain?

How dare this woman call it a stain!

Liam's face was instantly as black as the bottom of a pot.

"It seems that you want to abort it!" Liam bellowed. He turned around and left with a big stride.

Anna stared blankly at his departing back and muttered.

"It's you who doesn't really want this baby, isn't it"

In the empty hospital room, Anna bit down hard on the corner of the quilt. She cried quietly.

"Baby, mommy will definitely protect you. Definitely..."
