Chapter 284 Suspicious Visitor
Anna apanied Nina to the hospital the whole day.
At night, her father called her home to take care of Chloe. Nicole and he had a cocktail party to
attend.
Anna was infuriated, "Don''t we have a maid at home? I don''t know how to take care of someone."
"A maid is a maid, you''re her sister! Your sister is pregnant now, shouldn''t you help take care of
her?" Her father grew upset too.
"Daddy, you have to know who is the father of her unborn child! I''m already tolerating her the best I
can, why do I even have to take care of her?"
"It''s all in the past, you have to look forward to the future! Come home, now!" Daniel finished and
hung up the phone.
Anna clenched her phone tightly in her fists, wishing she could fling it away to vent her anger.
"I''m human too! In their eyes, I''m like an emotionless robot. They never considered how I feel!"
Her family was like this, previously Bryan was like this, and now even Liam treated her this way.
Nina walked towards her, "Anna, that''s because you haven''t met the person who will love you with
all his heart."

"Now I only have you and Jamie. Only the two of you really care about me." Anna bowed her head
sadly.
Nina shot a bright smile at her, "In the future, it won''t b e just us. You''ll meet the person who will love
you wholly, and forever."
Anna scoffed, "Don''t keep your hopes up.”
Anna grabbed her bag and headed out, suddenly her footsteps stopped. She nced at Melissa
who was lying on the bed peacefully and shifted her gaze to Nina.
"Nina, can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"Do you hate your father?" Anna asked.
Nina was quiet for a few seconds, thenughed and asked her instead, "Do you hate your father?"
Anna pondered her question, "It''s not hate, I guess. I hated him, when I was younger because he
forgot about Mom and married another woman. Later on, he was so nice to Chloe, even loving her
more than he ever did love me.
But looking back, I have moreints, or I guess I just wanted him to love me. He never took
my side or protected me, in his eyes, I was more like an outsider. I know why though. It''s because of
the Lincoln Group and family interests." "That’s because your existence threatened his position in
thepany. Having a father like this is indeed a knife to the heart." Nina sighed quietly, "I don’t
hate my father."
"Why?"
"Because he gave me the gift of life. Sometimes, I''ll think that I have to find him, not for revenge or
anything else, I just want to know what kind of person he is."
Nina looked out the window, at the shining in the distant night sky, "Someone who gave me life, and
yet never appeared in it, not even once.
If I don''t meet him, somehow, I feel like there''d be a raging gap in my life. I’ll never be truly happy."
“Nina..."
Nina turned back to her and smiled, "But the past is the past, I won''t take it to heart.
My mother raised me. I want to take care of her. What happened in the past, why she was
abandoned, why did he act like I didn''t exist, all of that isn''t important anymore."
Anna looked at the strength and resilience in the bottom of her eyes, and her heart ached.
"Nina, you’re much stronger than I am."
"Anna, I’m doing fine, I really am. Don''t worry about m e."
Anna nodded, she wanted tofort her but swallowed her remaining words.
"I need to go, call me if anything happens! Especially when you need money. Please, you have to
let me know, don''t shoulder it all by yourself!”
Nina smiled, "Yes, Ma''am!”
Anna smiled, "That''s what I want to see!"
When Anna reached home, Daniel and Nicole were just on their way out.
Daniel told her in a rush, "Initially, we wanted to bring Chloe along. Since she''s marrying Bryan
soon, Grandmother Dawson wants her to go out and meet more people.
But Chloe fell sick all of a sudden, I don''t feel good leaving her at home all alone. Anna, just rest,
nothing will happen, just check in on her from time to time. Call me if anything happens."
Anna nodded, "Alright."
Nicole smiled and added, "Thank you so much, Anna. The child in Chloe’s stomach is your nephew,
you''re his aunt."
Anna''s gaze swept across Nicole''s face coldly.
Why did this woman enjoy pouring salt on other people’s wounds? Luckily for her, her wound had
already healed.
"Great! Don''t worry, I will take good care of Chloe."
Daniel and Nicole left.
Chloe sat gleefully on the sofa, "Anna, I want to eat fruits."
"Ask the maid."
Anna took a book, sat on the sofa, and started reading leisurely.
"Anna, Mom and Dad said you have to take care of m e." Chloe’s tone raised an octave as if she
was going to oppose Anna till the end.
Anna shut her book with a snap and mmed it on the coffee table, "Chloe, you purposely stayed
behind t o pick a fight with me?"
"Anna, don''t say that. When did I ever try to pick a fight with you? I just want to eat some fruits."
Chloe leaned against the sofafortably, one hand rubbing her stomach gently.
"That''s odd. Did you do something bad, and now you''re in hiding? The cocktail party is a perfect
chance for you to introduce yourself to society, but you rejected i t."
Chloe yed with the jade bracelet on her wrist, "I''m Dawson''s future daughter-inw. Tons of
people are already dying to lick my boots, I''m tired of socializing."
The truth was after she got pregnant, the Dawsons merely said that Bryan would marry her, and
nothing else. As a result, everyone talked about her behind her back, their words turning vicious
and cruel. Since then, she didn''t have the guts to show up in front of everyone.
Anna nced at the jade bracelet on Chloe''s wrist, and scoffed, "Didn''t they say jade was good for
stabilizing your pregnancy? But you fall sick almost once every two days. No wait, I mean multiple
times every day. It looks like the jade doesn’t like you very much."
Chloe gritted her teeth and red at Anna.
"You’re cursing me!"
"Don''t say that, I''m just saying whateveres to mind. I don’t want to bear that burden!" Anna
stood u p, preparing to head upstairs.
"Don’t use your child to get attention. He''s alive too, please respect him."
Anna jumped up from the sofa, and shouted, "Anna, know your ce! Take your sights off Bryan.
We have a child together, and we''re going to get married soon!"
Anna scoffed, "Chloe, are you feeling threatened?"
"What a joke! We even have a child together, why should I feel threatened? I just can''t stand to see
you seducing my fiance! You cheap whore!"
Anna''s ice-cold gaze shot towards Chloe, "Are you referring to yourself?”
Chloe shivered, and held her head up high defiantly," Don''t forget, Bryan is mine now! Don''t try
anything, if not I won’t let you off so easily."
Chloe rushed out of the door in fury, wanting to breathe in some fresh air, but instead spotted
someone lurking around outside suspiciously. "Who''s there?!"
