Chapter 61A Pitiful Woman
"Doctor! How is my friend doing now!?"
Nina’s face was full of anxiety. Her voice wavered from excessive worry.
"Hurry up and tell us!" Liam growled gruffly. His menacing appearance made everyone''s heart stop.
"The patient suffered a burn to her lens. However, we were able to repair it in time. The operation
was a sess but we will need to monitor her as she recovers."
"Okay. How did she end up with a burn to her lens?" asked Nina. That was exactly the question on
Liam''s mind.
"The patient’s eye came into contact with an irritant substance. She just had LASIX surgery done
not too long ago and her recovery was a little poor. Couple that with the substance, her eyes were
severely damaged as a result."

"Irritant substance? How could that be? She was talking to me over the phone before she was
injured. She was perfectly fine!" shouted Nina.
“After ourb analysis, we have determined it to be alcohol."
"Alcohol!?" Everyone was shocked.
"In fact, it was highly concentrated alcohol," the doctor
continued.
Everyone exchanged looks. How could Anna''s eyes havee into contact with such highly
concentrated alcohol?
The doctor flipped the file in his hands then handed it to Daniel. "This is theb report. If the
patient''s family members have suspicions about how the patient was injured, you can lodge a police
report and have them investigate the matter. This was because the alcohol also contained
formaldehyde which can cause blindness which made things worse.
The doctor did not go on because he did not know how the injury urred. Was it because Anna
was careless, was it an ident or was it because someone had tried to harm her? In the end, the
final decisiony with her family. They would decide whether to investigate the issue or not.
Daniel looked at the file in his hands and suddenly felt lost. The doctor''s meaning was very clear.
Anna''s injury was no ident, but who could have wanted to harm her!?
If Daniel initiated an investigation, the media would b e all over this and it would ruin the reputation
of the Hamiton family!
If this went poorly, it would affect the confidence of the people in the Lincoln Group!
Anna was about to take over the Lincoln Group. With thistest event, it made sense to suspect that
someone with ulterior motives was trying to stop Anna from taking over thepany.
Daniel could not guarantee that Grandpa Lincoln, who was abroad, would not ce his suspicions
on Daniel himself.
In that instance, Daniel had considered many possibilities and subconsciously squeezed the
laboratory report in his hands.
Chloe was a little panicked, "Anna was in her room the whole time. Who could have harmed her?
It''s not possible!"
Nicole rushed to speak, "Why don’t we wait til Anna wakes up to ask her what on earth happened?"
Bryan anxiously asked the doctor, "Will she lose her sight?"
If Anna lost her sight, would the Lincoln Group let a blind person take over thepany?
Liam''s deep eyes swept across everyone in the room indifferently. His sharp gazepletely saw
through everyone''s inner thoughts.
The doctor said, "The patient will need to stay in the hospital to recover. The extent of her recovery
is hard t o predict for now."
Bryan instantly felt his heart sink. The atmosphere seemed to have darkened and he seemed to
have lost his spirit.
Liam radiated a chilling energy which caused the
surrounding temperature to drop. With his current status, he was in no position to speak and could
not call for this matter to be investigated. However, he was very clear about Anna’s predicament
now!
Apart from Nina, no one truly cared for her.
She was truly a pitiful woman!
Liam''s heart abruptly tightened and his iron fists slowly sped together. His woman would not
need the people around her to care for her. All his loving care would be more than enough for her.
Anna was sent to the intensive care unit from the operating theater. Everyone rushed to see her still
unconscious form.
Liam used his identity as an elder in the family to take a look at her. Anna was in a blue hospital
gown with white stripes. Her slender arm was exposed and under her fair skin, her green veins
could be seen clearly. A light blue nket was pulled up to her chest level, covering the rest of her
lovely figure.
Her beautiful, small face was extremely pale at the moment. Her watery, crystal-like beautiful eyes
were bound inyers of snow-white bandages. The slight swelling in the area soundlessly revealed
how swollen her eyes must be.
In her current state, she waspletely stripped of all her strength. She looked so weak that it
made his heart bleed.
Liam felt a strong urge to pull her into his arms and hold her dearly.
Daniel had been observing Liam this whole time. He noticed off-handedly that Liam’s eyes seemed
to be filled with a hint of pity and started to feel a little suspicious.
Even though Liam was Bryan''s uncle, he was not close with Anna and the entire Hamilton family.
If he had shown up to visit Anna merely to represent his family, a look would have sufficed.
However, for him to stand guard there, refusing to leave...
Nicole also found it strange. ording to Mr.
Ackman’s cold and ruthless personality, he would not stand for ceremony. Yet, here he was lingering
by her side, refusing to leave!
Liam''s continued presence made everyone tremble in fear, hardly daring to breathe in case they
might trigger the wrath of this great god!
Nicole nced at Nina, who had been fussing around Anna’s bandages since the beginning, and
said, "Anna is okay now. You should head back. Thank you for your help today.”
Nina swept a nce at Nicole but pretended that she had not heard her.
Now that Anna had suffered such great harm, she needed to stay behind to look after her.
Otherwise, Nina would not be able to stop worrying about how these people would mistreat Anna. 1
"Anna is resting. It’s not good to crowd her room. It’s enough to have her family here with her."
Nicole continued meaningfully.
Bryan walked to Anna''s bedside and gently held her hand. "Anna, you must get better quickly."
Liam’s frosty voice suddenly rang out, ruining the tender moment between Bryan and Anna.
"Bryan, go and ask the doctor once more about Miss Anna''s condition!”
Bryan rushed to get up. “Yes, uncle."
Nina looked a little timidly at Liam and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ackman, can I stay here to look
after Anna?"
Liam’s frown softened. He suddenly found a reason to stay here. He was Anna’s tutor. It was
perfectly understandable for a concerned tutor to stay by his student''s side.
"Of course you can! You''re Anna''s ssmate. Look after her well. You’re both about to graduate. It''s
best that she recovers quickly so that this won''t affect her studies!" Liam delivered his words in an
extremely teacher-like manner.
"Yes! I’ll take good care of Anna, Mr. Ackman!"
Nina deliberately stressed the tone on Mr. Ackman to emphasize to Daniel and Nicole that Liam
was now Anna''s tutor. If they nned to bully Anna from now o n, they would need to consider who
Anna’s tutor was!
Chloe and Nicole exchanged looks and quietly hung their heads.
Liam gently gazed upon Anna lying in bed. His gaze gradually turned towards Chloe who seemed
uneasy, but his words were directed at Daniel.
"Miss Anna achieves ster grades at school. All the lecturers and tutors regard her highly. It''s
shocking for an ident like this to ur so close to her graduation."
Daniel quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. Anna has always done well in school."
Chloe felt ill-at-ease under Liam''s stare and timidly took a step back.
Liam took a step closer to Chloe. His tone was as cold a s an iceberg. "Were you at home when
Miss Anna sustained her injury?"
