Chapter 71 24 Hour Surveillance
Hour Surveillance
"Oh!"
The sudden kiss caused Anna to panic. She struggled, pushing both her hands against Liam's sturdy chest.
"Stop moving wildly or I'll have you right now! growled Liam angrily.
Anna felt a chill go down her back and stopped struggling.
Liam started to kiss her with a fervent passion that gradually changed and became extremely tender. His rage slowly disappeared, leaving no trace...
What an overbearing man!
Was he jealous? Jealous of a gay person? That was so adorable.
Liam released Anna, panting heavily. His body felt like it was burning up and he could scarcely catch his breath. His eyes were filled with a raging fire as he stared into Anna's flushed little face.
Anna's breathing was disordered as well. Her chest moved up and down rapidly. She leaned limply against Liam's chest.
"When... when did you become this insecure?” she asked coyly in a quiet voice.
"What?" Liam's voice was husky.
"Why did you lose your self-confidence in front of a gay man?"
Liam's gaze darkened. He gently stroked Anna's exquisite little nose and looked at her affectionately.
"Anna, you are mine."
Anna felt her heart flutter inside her. An indescribable feeling slowly blossomed in her heart and spread across her whole body.
She embraced Liam tightly. As she leaned into his arms, she began to sob quietly.
Liam felt his heart break when he saw her cry. He gently stroked her long hair without speaking. All he did was hug her slender body even more tightly.
He would not let anyone bully his little lady!
Anna had barely cried for a minute before she was stopped by Liam.
"How can you cry when your eyes are like this? Hurry up and stop your tears!"
His dominating tone seemed to leave no room for refusal. Anna quickly blew her nose and stopped crying. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"You need to look after your eyes! I won't allow your eyes to have even the tiniest bit of damage!"
Anna nodded slowly.
"Get some rest! You're not allowed to overthink things! You need to have a speedy recovery!"
Anna nodded her head.
"Take your medication on time, eat on time and drink more water!”
Anna nodded her head once again. Why was he so long -winded?
"When the nurses change your dressing, please cooperate with them as much as possible. Even if it hurts, you need to endure it! As my woman, you need t o be strong!"
The phrase 'my woman’ made Anna feel warm and fuzzy inside. She pursed her lips and held back a smile then nodded once again.
"Have you had your dinner?"
"Yes, I have. Nina brought me some soup."
"How can you merely have soup! The doctor said that you're nutritionally deficient. I don't understand how you can be nutritionally deficient as a daughter of the Hamilton family! You’re not taking good care of yourself at all!”
Anna scratched her head. She felt as though Liam was now acting like a menopausal old woman. He was being naggy and eccentric!
Liam instructed the nurses to deliver a nutritionally balanced dinner and personally stared at Anna to make sure that she finished eating it. He stayed with Anna and only left the hospital after she went to sleep.
When Liam left the hospital, he overheard some people in the middle of a quiet discussion.
"I heard that he's Miss Hamilton's fiance's uncle.
That's so odd. Miss Hamilton's fiance only visits her at the hospital once a day. Yet, this uncle visits her several times a day."
"If it weren't for the fact that Miss Hamilton already has a fiance, I would have thought that he was her fiance."
"How can he always come running to Miss Hamilton’s room as an uncle? Isn’t that extremely inappropriate?"
Liam’s expression was cold as he strode away from the hospital.
He returned to the Ackman Skyhigh Group.
The Ackman Group headquarters was the tallest and grandest skyscraper in Johannes City. Located in the city center, it had become a defining landmark of Johannes City.
This was not merely because of its height, it was also because it represented the Ackman Group that controlled the economic lifeline of the city.
Liam was currently sitting with a grim expression in his CEO’s office on the top floor.
James stood across him. He would occasionally sneak a look at Liam’s cold face and feel his heart stop.
"Is... Miss Anna alright?" James felt extremely confused. Liam’s mood had been terrible ever since he returned from the hospital.
"Bryan Dawson. Chloe Hamiton and Nicole Baine. Pay more attention to three people when they head to the hospital," said Liam coldly.
"Yes, Mr. Ackman."
Liam still felt as though something was not right. He continued, "Has everything been organized with our people?"
"Yes, Mr. Ackman. Everything is organized."
"So they’ll be able to carry out 24-hour surveillance?"
"Umm... Mr. Ackman. All our people are men. There will be times when this would be... Inconvenient!" James appeared a little uncomfortable.
Liam slammed the table. "Didn't I ask you to organize for nurses and doctors?"
"But Mr, Ackman... You said that if we could bribe the people in the hospital, it meant they could be easily bribed by other people as well. It would be too dangerous...” James wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead nervously.
Liam spun around in his leather office chair grumpily and looked at the majestic skyscrapers outside the window. No matter what arrangements he made, he still did not feel any less worried.
That woman could not see a thing right now! It would be child's play for someone to harm her as she is!
He would not feel reassured until he was able to personally keep a close eye on her!
He suddenly realized that Anna Hamilton was more difficult to manage compared to the big cases in his company and more headache-inducing!
Liam waved his hand in frustration.
James understood his intentions and quietly retreated. He had just walked up to the door when he heard Liam’s voice ring out once again.
"Get me a doctor's appointment at the hospital tomorrow for a check-up."
James was stunned. Another medical check-up!?
Over the last two days, Liam has been to the hospital twice for a check-up! What problem did he have that required him to go to the hospital every day to be examined?
"Mr. Ackman, are you feeling unwell? Should I postpone the meetings later today?"
Liam walked to stand in front of the windows, looking down at the ant-like flow of traffic and pedestrians. H e had an idea and a smile appeared on his face.
"Keep the meetings as scheduled.” "Yes, Mr. Ackman.” James excused himself.
The next day at 9 a.m., Liam appeared at Michael's office.
Just as before, he sat inside Michael’s office without saying a word, staring at Michael as Michael stared back.
Michael clasped his hands together, placing them on the desk as he patiently waited for Liam to speak.
Over the last two days, as soon as Liam entered, Michael would prescribe him some vitamins. Today, the prescription was ready yet Liam continued to sit there, refusing to budge.
Finally, Michael could no longer bear it and was the first to break the silence.
"Mr. Ackman. I have a lot of other patients to see."
If only it were possible for him to stop coming to keep doctors from their work!
"Mr. Ackman, what seems to be the problem that has brought you to the hospital over the last few days?" Michael pushed up his glasses with his index finger. H e was extremely impatient now.
"I want to have a medical check-up." Liam finally opened his mouth.
"Where do you feel unwell?" Michael frowned.
Liam pointed to his heart, thought for a moment then pointed to his head. "Here."
Michael gave James, who stood behind Liam, a look.
James looked similarly confused.
"Where in your body does it feel unwell?”
"My whole body feels unwell!"
Michael rushed to write in his notes, "Let's run some tests."
Liam declared, “I want to be admitted into the hospital!"
