Chapter 75 Deliberately Opposing Me?
Bryan coaxed Anna to get her to have some soup.
"Anna, try this. It''s a nutritious chicken soup that I spent two hours cooking especially for you.
There''s a lot of ingredients inside that are good for your eyes. It''s perfect for your current situation."
"Anna, I personally made this for you. Please have more of it."
Anna quietly faced Bryan without speaking, neither did she open her mouth.
Liam stormed in abruptly, causing Bryan to jump fright.
He quickly put down the spoon and stood up. "Uncle, why are you here?"
When Anna heard that Liam hade, she suddenly gripped the nket under her hand tightly.
Why had he returned!? He was truly like a haunting spirit that she could not shake off!
Liam coolly looked at Anna who sat in bed. When he could clearly see that she was ill-at-ease,
some of the rage inside him dissipated.
After that, Liam turned towards Bryan. "Bryan, step out with me for a moment. I have something to
ask you."
Liam did not know what it was about but he grew anxious when he saw how stern Liam looked.
Hence, h e rushed to follow Liam out of the hospital room.
As Bryan walked out, he asked, "Uncle, if you had something to ask me, you could have given me a
call. Why should you trouble yourself bying here personally?"
A trace of disdain shed across Liam''s eyes. He slowly began to speak, "How is your grandmother
doing? Why aren’t you at home looking after her?"
Bryan could sense the displeasure in Liam''s voice. He felt a little perplexed. "Grandmother has
people specifically tasked with looking after her. I... I''m a man, to look after her..."
Before he finished speaking, he was cut off forcibly by Liam.
"As her dear grandson, do you find itborious to stay by her side and fulfill your filial duties!?"
Bryan quickly hung his head. His tone was full of discontent, "You''re right! When I''m home, I''d
always spend time with my grandmother. However, Anna is now in the hospital! I''m really worried
about her so..."
"Is your grandmother more important or are women more important?"
Bryan trembled violently. "Of course my grandmother i s more important! However, grandma
instructed me toe to the hospital more often to spend time with
Anna..." "That''s an excuse!!!" growled Liam deeply. His features were tense.
Bryan was so frightened that he felt a chill go down his back. He wiped the sweat off his forehead
and said respectfully, "Uncle, you''re right! Grandma is advanced in age. I should spend more time
by her side. I’ll head back right now!"
Bryan wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead. He did not understand how he had managed to
offend Liam bying to see his fiancee!
However, Grandmother Dawson was the one who wielded all the power in the Dawson family.
Spending more time by grandma''s side and making her happy would be able to help him secure his
position in the Dawson family.
Bryan was also worried that Amelia would take the opportunity to feed his grandmother lies to turn
her against him while he was at the hospital.
Bryan was about to leave when he heard a crisp shattering sounding from the hospital room,
followed by Anna''s surprised gasp.
Bryan quickly ran back in. "Anna, what happened?"
Liam also felt his chest tense up and quickly ran inside as well.
It appeared that Anna had tried to get out of bed and identally knocked over the bowl of hot
soup,
causing it to shatter to pieces on the ground.
Anna was a little panicked. "Did I break something?"
"It''s okay. Are you hurt?" Bryan anxiously spun around Anna.
Liam’s expression darkened. His gaze became even more frightening. He barked furiously, "So
troublesome!"
After that, Liam red at Bryan''s hands that did not stop touching Anna and spat out through gritted
teeth. "How dirty!"
Anna tilted her head, staring in the direction of the door. She pretended to be confused, "Who''s
speaking? I f you think that it’s dirty, please could you step outside?”
Liam felt a growing sense of frustration. That d*mn woman. Did she think that he was in the way?
Bryan could see that a storm was brewing on Liam''s face and rushed to say, "Anna, it''s my uncle.
Please don''t speak in that manner. It''s disrespectful."
Bryan then quickly smiled catingly at Liam. "Uncle, please don''t take offense. Anna didn’t mean
it. She can’t see so she didn''t know that it was you.”
"Does she not know?" Liam''s voice was deep and as cold as a winter storm.
He was outraged now. He was just about to send Bryan packing when Anna suddenly made a
scene, foiling his n to chase Bryan away with a seemingly righteous reason.
This sted woman. Was she going out of her way to oppose him?
Anna responded, "Oh! It''s uncle! I really can''t see. Doesn''t uncle know that? Or is he just forgetful
because he''s an elder?”
Anna was deliberately provoking Liam. After all, she was not the one who invited Bryan over. What
right did Liam have to be angry with her now!? For him to call the situation dirty, did he mean to say
that she was dirty?
"Anna, don''t speak like that to my uncle. Hurry up and apologize to him." Bryan was worried about
offending Liam and quickly tugged at Anna''s hand, dragging her to apologize to Liam.
Anna snatched back her hand and fumbled as she took a step back to avoid Bryan.
Bryan felt a little embarrassed. He hurried to smile and exin, "Uncle, please don''t be mad! Anna
isn''t feeling well so she’s be more short-tempered. That''s the reason why she''s a little
disrespectful when she speaks..."
Liam wore a stern expression and clenched his jaw tightly as he red at Anna. However, he
directed his words at Bryan, "You should head back to look after your grandmother!"
Bryan felt even more awkward. Why did Liam always want to send him packing?
Bryan looked at Anna ufortably, "Uncle... Anna is all alone here. I’m too worried to leave her
behind."
"Are you a nurse?" asked Liam coldly.
Bryan shook his head.

"Are you a doctor?"
Bryan shook his head once again.
"In that case, what''s the point of you staying here!?" Liam sounded self-righteous and domineering.
"..." Bryan was stunned.
It was clear that Liam was being unreasonable. However, Bryan was unable to retaliate.
Bryan stared at Liam’s furious expression and felt terrified. He suddenly recalled his grandmother''s
birthday party. Someone had privately told him someughable rumors.
They said that Liam had developed a dislike for Anna since the day of the birthday party. He would
always speak to her coldly and treated her with particr hostility because he had fallen for his
nephew Bryan.
Liam was gay. Everyone had heard the rumors. It was also true that there were no women by
Liam’s side. There was also never any news of him having any affairs with any women.
Bryan had noble features and was refined as well as handsome. It was understandable if Liam was
attracted to him.
Bryan suddenly felt a chill go down his back. He quickly said, "Anna, I’m really worried about
grandma. I''m going to head back now! I''lle to see you tomorrow. Remember to have your
meals and get some rest. If there''s anything, give me a call."
When he finished speaking, Bryan looked at Liam and ran off as though he were trying to escape.
Anna scoffed internally. Of course, his family affairs would hold the most important ce in Bryan''s
heart.
Thankfully, she had realized this in time.
After Bryan had left, Liam and Anna were the only ones left in the hospital room.
Anna did not know what expression Liam was wearing right now. However, based on the coldness
of the air around her, it was enough for her to deduce that Liam probably looked pretty angry right
now. i
"Now that you''ve chased Bryan away in such a bold and outright manner, aren''t you worried that he
might be suspicious of your intentions?" asked Anna.
"I''m not scared. What are you scared of?"
Liam suddenly drew close. Anna wanted to escape but his long arm caught hold of her slender
waist and pulled her body into his embrace, trapping her in his arms.
