Chapter 8: Anna is gentle and kind.

Anna's eyes widened, her hands clasped the hand that was strangling her to pull her out, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't. She found it harder and harder to breathe, she really wanted to explain to him, she didn't think to seduce any man, but she couldn't open her mouth in this state. Until she thought she was going to die, he also took his hand off her neck. She coughed, trying to get air back into her lungs.

"I can forgive you this time, but next time it won't be so lucky. You'd better know your identity."

Henry coldly warned Anna again and got up to go to the bathroom. After getting better, Anna's tears somehow flowed, she gave a bitter smile. Perhaps her improper look at Jimmy just now was seen by him, that's why he treated her like that. She really shouldn't have had that crazy thought just now. If she decided to use this method to trade the future for her brother, then she no longer had the right to choose her own happiness. How could Jimmy like a wretched woman like her, willing to sell her body for money. Anna was lost in thought when a clear voice rang out.

"Miss, mistress said you have to eat it all."

Anna looked startled at the door, a young girl was standing there staring at her, a serving of food in her hand. She guessed it might be the nest that Henry's mother had said just now.

"Thanks, just leave it there. I'll eat it later." Anna thanked in a low voice. Because she is thinking that she is not really a guest or special status in this house, so she has no right to scorn or give orders to anyone.

"No, the mistress told me to watch you eat it all." The maid girl must have stood still and said coldly.

Anna raised an eyebrow, maybe Henry's mother is afraid she won't eat the part of the bird's nest she prepared? That's why she asked her supervisor to eat it all. But really, she was neither hungry nor wanted to eat a bird's nest, even though she had never eaten such expensive food. But maybe she didn't have a choice, couldn't help Henry's mother, and she didn't want to make her hate her. She got up to go to the maid standing, reached out her hand to take the bird's nest, but before her hand touched it, she suddenly pushed her hand away, causing the nest to fall to the ground.

"Miss Mistress, how can you do such a thing? Madam is so kind to you, I don't know what to say to my mistress." The maid bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the bird's nest bowl, picking them up while sobbing.

Anna stood frozen in place, not understanding what was happening, she clearly hadn't touched it just now, she had dropped it on her own, why was she suddenly blaming her now. Did she intentionally want to harm her, but why did she have to? But very quickly Anna found her answer.

"Anna, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Anna turned her head in surprise, and Henry was glaring at her with anger. She knew that perhaps he had misunderstood, so she hastily explained.

"It wasn't me, she dropped it herself."

"Ah...it hurts." The maid girl suddenly screamed in pain.

Anna startled and glanced at the maid, then saw that her hand was bleeding a lot, perhaps because she didn't need to be careful, she was cut by the broken hand. She rushed to help her, but didn't expect to help bandage her wound, when suddenly Henry approached and pushed her away, then coldly spoke.

"Get out of the way, what do you want to do with her? Don't you think you've lived your life too well?"

"Master, I'm in pain! What should I do with the mistress's nest?" The maid cried and told Henry in front of him.

Anna looked at the girl in front of her bewildered, she blinked her eyes blankly in disbelief. Obviously, her face is very gentle, why can she slander and harm her so indifferently? She deliberately looked closely at her expression, she finally understood the reason why she deliberately acted out this play to harm her. Because her gaze on Henry was too obvious. She likes Henry, and hates all women who want to approach him, right? But if she likes him, then why since he was looking for a woman to marry, she didn't nominate herself.

Henry was not satisfied with Anna's attitude, but he was still rational and sharp enough to see that the maid was just pretending to be in pain to draw his pity. He could see how she shouldn't have feelings for him. When she put her hand in front of him, he decisively pushed her hand away then stood up and said coldly.

"Just because I scolded her doesn't mean I can't see her evil intentions. If you want to continue working in this house, then stop your crazy thinking."

The maid's hand stopped in midair. Anna glanced at Henry and then at the maid's reaction, she didn't even expect him to be able to see this. Suddenly she no longer feels angry because she harmed her, now she just feels sympathy and pity for her. Perhaps she also realized that her status was not worthy of his, that's why she used this method. Hope to get a little bit of your love and attention. But I didn't expect him to be this cold and decisive. She sighed and walked over to the table to get a few tissues, then walked to the girl's side, sat down and used a tissue to temporarily bandage her bleeding wound. This time neither she nor he kicked her out anymore.

"The wound is not deep, but I also need to be careful not to touch the water until the wound heals. Not because I pity you, but because I am a doctor, I cannot watch patients die from injuries that do not deserve to die. " Anna gave her a temporary bandage while nonchalantly explaining. Of course, these words she was also trying to tell him and understand.

"Thanks." The maid bowed her head in shame and thanked Anna.

Anna said nothing more, quickly helped her bandage the wound then carefully helped her pick up the pieces. After finishing, he was kind enough to help the girl out of the room. From beginning to end, all Anna's actions fell on Henry's eyes, he squinted at her but didn't say a word.

Anna took the maid to the kitchen, then when there was no one, she sighed and spoke.

"It is not a crime to like someone, but because you like that person, you are willing to do wrong things to harm others."
