Chapter 92 Anna's Woeful Wailing
"Why is it so dark? Why aren't the lights on?"
Anna stared up at the ceiling with hollow eyes, her hands frantically feeling around.
Everyone stared at Anna’s tantalizing eyes then exchanged glances with each other. They were all staggered.
Some of them gazed at the brightly lit room and felt their hearts sink.
"Why is everyone so silent? Nina, hurry up and turn on the lights."
Nina covered her mouth in shock. Her voice trembled as she spoke. "Anna, the lights are on! Don't scare me!"
Anna was dumbfounded. She smiled and replied," Stop playing around, Nina. This joke isn't funny at all."
Nina turned to Dr. Moore with helpless eyes. However, her gaze was met with his equally dumbstruck expression.
"Logically speaking, that's impossible!” Dr. Moore turned to the specialists behind him.
They quickly stepped forward to examine Anna's eyes, but could only shake their heads in confusion.
The doctors quickly urged Anna to the examination room.
"Hold on!” Anna yelled, "First, tell me, did I lose my vision?"
Anna’s voice started to tremble.
"I can’t be blind, right!"
"Ms. Hamilton, let us run some tests first. Please don't panic."
Bryan, who was finally able to react, hastily agreed, "T-t-that’s right! The doctor is right, Anna. Let them examine you first. You'll be fine! You’ll definitely be fine!" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Bryan was also taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
Chloe stood in a corner with a horrified expression on her face, yet she could not conceal the subtle grin at the corners of her lips.
"Anna, what’s wrong? Please don't scare me like that! Anna, look at me." Chloe hastily moved in front of Anna.
Anna reached out her hands and waved them around frantically, hitting Chloe several times in the process and even tugged hard at Chloe’s pretty dress.
"Chloe, is that you? Where are you? Chloe! Are you in front of me?" Anna yelled and grabbed desperately.
Frightened, Chloe stumbled backward and adjusted her dress. "Anna, you can't have lost your vision, right? Waa... Don't scare me...”
Chloe choked up. She stared hard at Anna’s eyes, which appeared hollow and unfocused. Her pupils were widely dilated as if there was truly no light in the room.
Anna was suddenly panicking. She pounced toward Chloe. "Chloe, where are you? Where are you?"
Anna pounced toward her forcefully. Chloe lost her balance on those high heels of hers and fell butt- first o n the floor. An agonizing pain spread from her ankle.
"Ah..." Chloe yelped in pain.
At that moment, everyone was occupied with Anna-n o one batted an eye at the woman on the floor.
Chloe silently ground her teeth. She rubbed her aching ankle and strenuously picked herself up.
In a sorrowful tone, she cried, "Anna, imagine how devastated Daddy and Mommy will be if you lose your vision! What about the company? What about Bryan? Anna... You have to be okay... You have to be..."
Bryan felt a little uneasy when he glanced at Chloe’s tearful expression.
Nina glared at Chloe, then went up to hug Anna. She patted her shoulder and assured, "Anna, you're gonna b e fine. Don't be scared. Let the doctors examine you first, alright?"
Bryan held Anna's hand and said in a tender tone, " Anna, don't panic. Be a good girl and listen to the doctors' instructions."
Liam scoffed. Hearing that, Anna quickly pulled her hand away. She waved her hands around frantically and shrieked.
"Go away! I don't want any doctors! My eyes are fine!
"They're fine! My eyes are absolutely fine! They're fine H
Bryan hurriedly stumbled backward. "Anna, calm down! You’ll hurt yourself. Please, just calm down."
Anna held on tightly to Nina. Her empty eyes stared straight at the nothing in front of her. Anna choked up.
"Nina. Nina, my eyes... my eyes..."
Nina feared up too. "Anna, don't be sad. Don’t be scared. I'm sure you'll be fine! It'll heal... It’s only temporary..."
Chloe studied Anna's eyes attentively. She did not notice any difference except the dimming of the natural glow in Anna's eyes.
Suspicion began to arise in Chloe’s heart.
Liam's tense expression slowly loosened up. He silently shot a glance at Micheal.
Micheal rolled his eyes at Liam. He stood up and approached Anna.
"Come on, let’s examine those eyes."
Seeing Micheal stepping up, the other doctors quickly backed away and let Micheal handle this mess.
Micheal put on a warm and tender smile. "Ms.
Hamilton, listen to me, okay? You don’t want to stay blind forever, right?"
Micheal continued to coax her. "We’ll run some tests and get some numbers first. You know, perhaps your eyes just haven’t adjusted well yet, causing temporary vision loss. Some things can’t be explained by science, but know that your psychological disposition plays an important role too."
Gradually, Anna was able to calm down. She nodded and reached out for Micheal's hand.
Micheal guided Anna out of the room to be examined. Along the way, he continued to reassure, "Relax, you’ll be just fine. All you have to do is follow my instructions."
Everyone followed them out of the room. Liam suddenly strode forward. Everyone else stopped in their tracks and waited for Liam to exit before quietly following.
Liam followed behind Anna, like a wall of ice, keeping the others far behind from them.
Bryan was overwhelmed with anxiety. His palms were covered in perspiration.
Chloe endured the pain in her ankle and limped behind them. She whimpered, "Bryan, my feet hurts. Can you hold me?"
Bryan turned his head back and shot a frigid glance at
Chloe. "Can’t you read the situation? So annoying!”
Bryan thought that Chloe was getting more and more out of line. How dare she ask him to hold her in front o f so many people! Did she want people to suspect them?
Chloe’s heart ached. She gazed dejectedly at Bryan.
Nonetheless, Bryan had already turned away and was chasing after Anna with large strides.
Chloe stomped her foot in anger, which only aggravated her pain. She inhaled sharply.
Anna was very anxious when she stepped into the examination room.
Liam entered with her and closed the door behind him, cutting off all the people that followed behind.
The people outside exchanged glances with each other. No one dared to make a peep.
Bryan fixed his gaze at the tightly shut door as he anxiously stomped around in circles outside the examination room.
'What will happen to our marriage if Anna seriously loses her vision?' he wondered.
Nina was also walking in circles restlessly. "Anna... Anna... You have to be okay."
Within the examination room, Liam's cold gaze landed on Anna, then shifted onto MicheaL
Anna had figured out long ago that there was some kind of relationship between Liam and Micheal. Even so, she could not comprehend what tacit understanding those two men had reached through nothing but glances. Micheal adjusted his glasses with an expression that somewhat resembled a smile.
Micheal turned to Anna. The fragility of the sick could be seen on her beautiful face. Despite that, she exuded an aura of determination and perseverance, arousing the sympathy of anyone who laid eyes on her. Her bright, prepossessing eyes glistened faintly.
It was no wonder that Liam would see this woman as special-her beauty was truly bewitching.
"Ms. Hamilton, I shall begin the examination.”
