Chloe’s knees nearly buckled when she was suddenly questioned by Liam. His cold expression was extremely terrifying and there was a lingering chill around him. It was like he came straight from the depths of hell, carrying the smell of death with him.Chloe stifled her breath. She stammered in a wavering voice.“I-I… I was in my room. I-I… don’t know anything.” Chloe frantically waved her hands.Liam’s inky-black pupils constricted. He easily saw through the guilt in Chloe’s heart. “If you were in your room, how did you know that Miss Anna was in her room the whole time?” “That’s because… I-I… I saw Anna head into her room. I then went back to my room...I think that she was in her room the whole time…”“In other words, you didn’t see for yourself if she was in her room the whole time?”Chloe rushed to nod. “I-I.. didn’t see her!”“Were you and Miss Anna the only ones in the house?”“There… there were also servants at home! It wasn't just the two of us… Mr. Ackman. I-I… I’m

An icy cold sensation spread across Liam’s heart. His heart lurched and he let out a soft sigh.“If you want a speedy recovery, don’t you cry.”Anna rushed to hold back her tears. She bit her lower lips hard and turned deathly pale.When he saw her aggrieved expression as she tried to suppress her feelings, Liam felt even more heartbroken. “Why would you lose your sight? Of course, you’ll be able to see.” He gently stroked her long hair.“Is that true? Will I really be able to see again? I won’t lose my sight, right?” She lifted her head and looked in his direction. However, there was still only darkness“I’m so scared. I’m so scared that my eyes won’t get better,” she sobbed.“Yes. It won’t get better in your lifetime. You’ll just have to stay by my side.”Anna suddenly let go of his hand. He snapped angrily, “Stop moving! Your hand is still bleeding!” He caught her hand once again and applied pressure to the needle exit wound on the back of her hand.As she struggled forcef

“Anna, you’re awake!”Bryan hurried to straighten his clothes and fastened his belt. He rushed over to Anna’s bedside. He was thanking God in his heart that Anna could not see right now, otherwise, he would be dead meat!Chloe was so mad that she stamped her feet. Why was she always the one who was discarded when Anna was around!?“Anna, now that you’re awake, do you feel any better?” Bryan asked her in a warm, tender tone. Anna resisted the urge to vomit but continued not to give a response. She crashed into bed and went back to sleep.Bryan’s expression froze on his face.Chloe bit her lip angrily. “Bryan! I told you that she was asleep! What are you scared of!?”Bryan stared questioningly at Anna on the bed. The suspicions in his heart grew. Was Anna truly asleep?“Bryan, let’s continue. How about that…” Chloe continued to wrap herself around him. Bryan pushed her off impatiently. “That’s enough! Stop making a fuss!”Now that they had been interrupted in that activity ag

Anna reached out her hand. She could not see a thing. All she could hear was the sound of Nina’s footsteps as she rushed out. Then, the sound of the door closing. Her world instantly filled with darkness and dead silence. Anna swung back and forth in bed.She felt as though she was trapped inside a dark little house where there was no light, no way out and nothing could be seen. She felt suffocated like she was about to die a slow death in this darkness.“Nina, Nina…”She called out a few times but Nina did not respond.Nina left the room and quickly ran towards the staircase, blocking Chloe’s way.“Why are you still here!?” Nina saw that Chloe was still skulking around which was why she started to give chase.“Whether I go or stay has nothing to do with you! Stop being such a busybody! Who do you think you are?” shouted Chloe angrily.“It doesn’t matter who I am. All I know is that you are the ‘second’ daughter of the Hamilton family, and you’re Anna’s stepsister!”Nina part

Jamie stroked Anna’s little face feeling heartbroken. “My little darling, was I too harsh?”Anna did not speak. A sorrowful look was plastered upon Anna’s features which made Jamie’s heart wrench. He sighed and said in a serious tone, “Darling, I’m just giving you some advice. You need to learn how to be flexible and be able to adapt to situations. That way, you won’t end up like this again!”“Tell me the truth. Did your eyes get like this because someone was out to get you?”A sense of sorrow was evoked on Anna’s lips. “Can you imagine that? It felt like a burning-hot needle was stabbed into my eyes. I think I can still feel the pain lingering even now.”“But… When I was lying here, I could hear Chloe tell Bryan how much she liked him without a care in the world. When no one was around, she even tried to blind me! I feel like my heart hurts even more. It hurts so much that I can hardly breathe.”“Even though we’re not related by blood, we’ve lived together for nearly 20 years. Is
