Chapter 289 I Don’t Have to Be Happy
The next day Anna went to the hospital to visit Nina, once again supporting her sore hip with a
hand.
Liam said he nned to make it so she couldn''t leave the bed, warm the bed for him 24 hours a
day. If this went on, his words woulde true soon.
Nina saw Anna looking ufortable and asked her worriedly, "Anna, what''s wrong? Are you
sick?"
"No, no. I’m fine." Anna smiled awkwardly.
"But you''re walking funny. No, I better register you for an examination!" Nina hurriedly pulled Anna
out of the door, Anna waved in protest.
"Nina, I’m fine! Don''t worry!”
Anna wriggled her hips to demonstrate she was fine. She forced the pain down and smiled.
"How''s your mom? Is she still asleep? What did the doctor say?"
Nina looked at her mother who was sleeping on the bed and sighed, “She woke up for a while, then
fell asleep again. That''s good, I guess. She hasn’t been sleeping welltely."
"She didn''t throw a tantrum again when she woke up and found herself in a hospital, did she?"
Nina shook her head, "She struggled for a while, luckily Dr. Hart was there. He tried to persuade
her, but she only quieted down after taking another tranquilizer."
Nina sighed softly, "She’s scared of needles, I feel bad seeing her like this."
"Don''t worry too much, Nina. The treatment process will be long and painful, but for her speedy
recovery, you must stay strong."
Nina nodded, "I won''t give up on her treatment."
Anna thought she saw a figure outside the door. She walked forward to check and realized it was
Dr. Hart.
Dr. Hart realized Anna had noticed him, heughed awkwardly and turned to leave in a hurry.
Anna widened her eyes in shock, Dr. Hart was a mature and professional man, seeing him with
such a boyishly shy expression on his face, could it be...
Anna looked towards Nina and chuckled, whispering behind her ear, "Nina, what do you think about
Dr.
Hart?"
Nina threw a nce at Anna, strange and confused," You asked me this before, he''s great, why?"
"I just think Dr. Hart is perfect!" Anna hooked an arm around Nina’s shoulders.
"He''s mature, stable, patient, kind, and he''s handsome too! He''s already a consultant doctor at such
a young age. Young and talented! He''s the perfect man!"
Nina nodded, "He is a great guy."
Anna elbowed her yfully, "Any thoughts?"
"What thoughts?"
Anna raised her eyebrows at her, "Come on, don''t y dumb!"
Nina blushed, "What are you saying? All I want is to work hard and earn money, and care for my
mother."
"Hey hey hey, I think you stand a chance!”
The both of them were immersed in the conversation, happily exchanging opinions when the door
was pushed open and a cold voice drifted in from behind them.
"Anna Hamilton, you seem to think a lot of men are perfect." Liam''s expression was ice-cold,
exuding a chill that made others shiver unconsciously.
Nina sucked in a cold breath and pushed Anna towards him in self-preservation.
Anna gritted her teeth at Nina, then forced a bright smile onto her face.
"I think you misheard. What perfect man? I don''t know anything about him. Ha-ha..."
The cold aura around him seemed to be cold enough t o freeze even the surrounding air particles,
she stepped backward unconsciously in fear.
"Come out, now!"
Liam shouted and stalked out of the room.
Anna felt like she was lying on her deathbed. She shuffled after him and walked out of the ward.
"Ohm... Liam, why are you here?" Anna''s eyes shifted from one spot to another, not daring to meet
his gaze.
"Why do you think I''m here!" Liam squinted his narrow feline eyes and stared at her.
"Oh? You’re sick?" Anna blinked, "It is becausest night, you, uhm..."
"What?” His voice was low.
"You..." She pulled the words out vaguely, rolling them across her tongue, "Oh, I remember now, I
have some issues to sort out. I’ll leave now!"
Liam held out a hand and blocked her path. "Thinking of running?"
"No! I didn''t do anything wrong, why would I run? Ha-h a..."
"Anna Hamilton, who did you say is the perfect man?" Liam frowned in displeasure.
"Of course it’s you! The CEO of the Ackman Skyhigh Group, Liam Ackman!"
Liam crossed his arms across his chest, "That’s not what I heard!"
Anna pouted, muttering under her breath, "Are you a dog? The door was closed, how could you
have heard?"
"What did you say?”
"No! Nothing! I just said you were finest night, how did you fall sick all of a sudden?"
Liam scoffed, he was worried about her. He heard she was almost hurt by Melissa when she drove
her to the hospital.
She wouldn’t agree if he forbade her from visiting the hospital, so he wanted to apany her
when she was there, to protect her if anything happened.
He could take the chance to talk to Dr. Hart personally, thanking him for taking care of them.
But unexpectedly, he heard herplimenting Dr. Hart from the listening device!
How could his womanpliment another man!
Anna chuckled dryly, but at hismanding gaze, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I just think Dr. Hart is a really nice guy..."
Without waiting for her to end her sentence, he cut her off.
"How nice!"
Anna scratched her head, "I just thought... someone who can be friends with you must be a very
tolerant and amodating person. And he must be very patient and cultured!"
Liam frowned, "Are you saying I''m impatient and
uncultured?"
"No, no! That’s not what I meant." Anna waved her hands in denial.
"I just thought that Dr. Hart might have feelings for Nina, if they can really be together, he can take
care of Nina. They''ll be good for each other!"
Liam scoffed, "They don’t suit each other!"
"I think they do!”
"I said they don''t!"
"As far as rtionships go, as long as they both like each other, who are you to say they don''t suit
each other? You’re too domineering!"
"They don''t suit each other at all!"
"Why?"
Liam didn''t reply, "Don''t bring this up again. Even if Michael has feelings for her, he knows when to
stop."
The hope in Anna''s eyes dimmed.
"I hope my friends can find their happiness."
Liam bowed his head and looked at her. A vague, unfamiliar emotion rose in his chest, he didn''t
know what it was, he only opened his mouth when the feeling dissipated.

"You want your friends to be happy? What about yourself?"
Anna raised her head instantly, met his dark gaze, opened her mouth but swallowed the words back
into her mouth.
She smiled bitterly, "I''m fine the way I am! What''s happiness? Hah, I don''t need it!"
