Chapter 93 Dead Silence


    "Ms. Hamilton, I will now shine a medical torchlight into your eyes. Nod if you can sense the light."


    Micheal took out his torchlight and shined it into Anna''s eyes. "Can you sense that?"


    Anna endured the blinding light and shook her head.


    Micheal kept his torchlight and examined the corner o f her eyes again. He examined her eyes for


    an exceedingly long time...


    The whole time, Anna felt as if her heart was hanging from a cliff. It thumped violently. Creases


    formed at the loose cuffs of her gown due to her forceful grip.


    Liam was also starting to break out into cold sweat. His deep and puzzling eyes were fixed on


    Micheal.


    Micheal did not even nce at Liam. He continued to examine Anna with his instruments and


    pressed a bunch of buttons on a keyboard.


    Finally, Micheal was done. He stared at the test results in his hands and adjusted the sses on the


    bridge of his nose. "From my observation, there’s nothing wrong with Ms. Hamilton’s eyes."


    There was dead silence in the room...


    Anna quickly inquired, "Dr. Hart, what do you mean? If there''s nothing wrong with my eyes, why


    can''t I see?"


    Liam scoffed. "Anna Hamilton, you can''t be ying tricks on us, right? What expert acting skills you


    have!"


    Anna red in the direction of Liam.


    ''Can this man stop going against me!’


    Micheal turned to Anna. Her eyes were bright, yet they seemed hollow and unfocused. He lowered


    his voice and asked, "Ms. Hamilton, are you sure you can''t see anything?”


    Anna nodded persistently.


    Micheal scratched his head. "Hmm, it''s a little problematic then."


    "What do you mean?" Liam questioned rmedly.


    "There’s nothing physically wrong with Ms.


    Hamilton''s eyes, but she has confirmed that she can''t see a thing. That means that we are dealing


    with a post-traumatic stress disorder."


    "What does that mean?" Anna secretly let out a sigh of relief.


    "Inyman''s terms, Anna had suffered a severe injury t o her eyes. The eyes have nerves that


    connect directly to the brain, making the pain of an eye injury something no ordinary person can


    endure. Hence, Ms. Hamilton''s brain activated a self-defense mechanism. And because of that,


    even though her lenses have healed, she still can’t see."


    Micheal repeated the same exnation to the crowd


    outside.


    The specialists exchanged nces and nodded in agreement-mainly because they were afraid of


    Liam’s murderous re. It would be wiser to follow the lead o f that self-proimed god.


    Bryan and Chloe were both dumbfounded.


    They could not understand a word he said.


    "Then, how can Anna''s condition be treated? What are her chances of recovery?" Bryan inquired


    anxiously.


    Micheal nced at him. "That would all depend on her! This is a psychological condition. If the


    patient can ovee this mental hurdle, they might regain their vision the very next day. If not...


    Ms. Hamilton, you should prepare yourself mentally. There’s only a fifty-fifty chance."


    Anna''s knees gave way. Nina quickly grabbed onto her. "Anna, don''t be glum. There''s still a fifty


    percent chance! You will definitely get better!"


    Anna held her head low, concealing the confusion in her eyes.


    She clearly saw the hesitation in Micheal’s eyes; there was even a hint of amusement.


    Why did Micheal go along with Anna''s n?


    Did Liam hint for him to so?


    Anna stared at Liam from the corner of her eyes. He was silent the whole time.


    Liam was sharp enough to notice her re. He was calm andposed, yet his lips curled up into


    a sinister smile. He had the look of a strategizing mastermind who seemed to have the whole


    incident a t the palm of his hand.


    At that moment, Anna felt as if something was poking at the soft part of her heart. A warm and


    sweet feeling swelled up in her chest.


    She subtly took a few deep breaths to regain herposure. She raised her head and asked, "Dr.


    Hart, can I be discharged?”


    Micheal shot a nce at Liam and grunted softly. "I suggest you rest here for the night. I''ll arrange a


    full screening for you tomorrow morning."


    Anna nodded. She gently tugged at Nina''s shirt. "Nina, I''m tired.”


    Hearing that, Bryan quickly stepped forward to help Anna back to her room, yet Anna clung on


    tightly to Nina.


    Nina turned to her side and sheltered Anna from him. She helped Anna back to her room.


    Nina tucked Anna in and gazed at her sickly face with a heartbroken expression. "Anna, rest well. I’ll


    stay here with you."


    "It’s okay. You should all go home and rest."


    Anna stared at the ceiling. Her voice was cold and distant. "I’ve troubled all of you today. I''m tired.


    I’d like


    to have some quiet time to myself."


    Bryan understood that Anna must be feeling despondent. He was extremely displeased by her


    distant attitude toward him but endured it anyway. " Rest well, Anna. I''lle to take you home


    tomorrow."


    Anna slowly closed her eyes. She did not say a word after that.


    "Anna, you must be pretty upset right now. You really do need to rest up, so I won’t stay here and


    disturb you anymore." Having said that, Chloe quickly limped out o f the room to catch up with


    Bryan.


    Liam stared at Anna, then turned and left the room. Everyone else quickly dispersed too.


    Annoyed, Bryan’s footsteps were much quicker than usual.


    When Chloe noticed that there were not many people left around them, she quickly limped toward


    him, trying to catch up. "Bryan, wait for me."


    Bryan red at her irritatedly and pointed his finger a t her face. "You better stay in line!"


    Having said that, Bryan went downstairs ahead of her.


    Chloe stomped her feet. ''Why is heshing out at me? What did I do?’


    Micheal went back to his office.


    Liam loungedzily on the sofa while Micheal stared a t him through his sses.


    "Mr. Ackman, is there anything you''d like to say to m e?"


    Liam raised his brows. "What are you talking about?”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "Mr. Ackman, I was summoned away by you right after a huge surgery. I didn''t even get a chance to


    rest o r eat my dinner."


    "Didn’t you eat in the hospital cafeteria?"


    Liammented casually.


    ''Tch! Acting dumb again!’


    "I want a proper dinner. Your treat. Otherwise...”


    Micheal lifted his chin as if saying, ''If you don''t treat m e to dinner, I''ll tell everyone what you’ve


    done.''


    "Ha..." Liam chucked. “James."


    "Sir." James pushed open the door and came in.


    "Order a hundred fruit tarts for Dr. Hart and have it delivered here."


    "...Liam Ackman! Are you not afraid that I will tell them about Anna’s ’blindness''?”


    Liam gazed at him coldly. In an aloof tone, he threatened, "I dare you.”


    "James, make sure Dr. Hart eats everyst piece of those tarts. Stuff his mouth well."

    At the home of the Hamilton family.


    Nicole and Daniel had been waiting for Anna''s return the entire day, yet in the end, only a crippled


    younger daughter return home that day.


    “Chloe, where’s your sister? Why hasn''t shee home with you?" Nicole hurriedly greeted her at


    the door.


    Chloe took some time to put on her act, then ran to Daniel with a wretched expression. Sheid in


    hisp and wailed, "Daddy, Anna... Anna had..."


    Daniel''s expression changed. He quickly dragged Chloe up and interrogated, "What happened to


    your sister?"


    "Anna... She can''t see... Waa...” "What?!" Daniel''s face instantly turned pale.
