Chapter 266 Supporting Role
"What?!"
"The exam question is about sleeping?"
Everyone was enveloped in a frenzy again.
"What kind of topic is this?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
"I don't even need a bed I I can just fall asleep on the floor!"
"I can sleep while standing."
One student stood up and protested "Ms. Finch, let me ask you this, so what IS the main purpose of having all these assessments? Isn’t it too meaningless and demanding?"
"I think the person who came out with the assessments is not normal!"
The student asked out what everyone was thinking. They all looked at Olivia, waiting for a rational reason.
Olivia frowned. Although she was still maintaining a stern stance, she did not know how to respond.
Anna bit her lip and tried hard not to laugh.
Of course, Liam Ackman is not normal!
He acted like a dictator. One simple word or a single thought from him will force everyone into chaos.
"He must have been a terrible king in the old times,"
Anna Hamilton murmured.
"Anna, who are you talking about?" Nina Scott asked quietly.
"Nothing, no one!"
Olivia gave a little cough before she raised her chin and announced coldly "The first test is about your personality! The second test is about your survivability; the third test is about your adaptability i n different environments."
"And the current test is about your perseverance! Feel free to give up and leave if you want to!"
Everyone fell silent suddenly. No one dared to make any more noise.
"It’s only sleeping, how hard can it be? I will sleep like a log!” Mindy Kohler muttered.
Mindy was still here in the last test because of her teammate, Jennifer Wurst's help. She was not planning to stay any longer. However, she could not leave until Jennifer let her go.
Jennifer glared at Mindy and this immediately made Mindy lower her head and promised quietly "I will work hard this time, Jennifer. I will make sure not to drag you down."
Jennifer crossed her arms and glanced at Anna Hamilton, looking completely confident.
"Now about the rules!” Olivia raised her voice.
"We have 10 students left. I will assign 10 patients with sleeping difficulties to all of you. No matter what method you use, please make sure that the patients can sleep soundly. We will gather here tomorrow evening, and let the 10 patients evaluate your performance in deciding who is the final winner!"
The students were shocked by the announcement.
"What? You are not asking us to sleep but you want us to make others fall asleep?"
"We are so tired now that we can barely open our eyes. How do we help others to sleep when we don't even have the energy? I might fall asleep first!"
"This is why it's called the test of perseverance! Alright, time to act! Someone will bring you to your patient's room later."
Everyone was complaining. To be ready for the test, some pinched themselves whereas others washed their faces with cold water.
Nina pouted while holding Anna's hand "Can't believe we are separating so soon. I’m not ready for this."
Anna tapped on Nina’s shoulder reassuringly "You have been doing great so far, have some faith in yourself."
"What about you?"
"Me?"
Anna looked up to the dark sky filled with many bright stars, "I will work hard too. I won’t get myself eliminated that easily!”
"Good luck, Anna!"
As Anna expected, her patient was Liam Ackman once again.
She stood in front of room 3901. After a long hesitation, she knocked on the door.
The door opened immediately.
Anna grew nervous the moment she saw Liam's cold face. She did not know what to say so she forced a smile to smooth her uneasiness.
"What a coincidence, it’s you again."
Liam squinted his dark eyes "A coincidence?”
Anna answered awkwardly "Yes..."
"I remember someone saying we should never meet again."
"That's why I say it’s a coincidence!" Anna was still smiling although she was sweating beneath her clothes.
The Liam Ackman facing her now was like the fierce and intimidating grim reaper from hell. It almost made her suffer a heart attack.
Liam just glanced at her coldly and went inside the room.
Anna was still standing at the door, neither entering
nor leaving.
"So, Mr. Ackman, is there anything else I can help you with?"
Liam was pissed. Is this woman stupid? Can't she tell that he was giving her an excuse to make up with him?
"If you think it’s hard, just switch with someone else, but then your score will be 0," said Liam coldly.
Anna came in nervously "Mr. Ackman, do you have any sleeping difficulties?"
Liam did not say anything. He went to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of water. He started drinking slowly.
"I do remember that..." Anna scratched her head. "You have no trouble sleeping."
She always thought that he slept very well every time they were together, he displayed no signs of suffering from sleeping difficulties at all.
Liam did not say anything. He poured himself another cup of water and continued drinking.
"Mr. Ackman, please don't drink too much water before you sleep. You will.... wake up frequently in the middle of the night and this will affect your sleep" Anna was careful with her words.
They did not part on good terms previously, and now they are in the same room. What's worse is that he had the final say on her score. No matter how angry she was, she still had to smile and face him.
This is reality!
Anna sighed. She went over to the fridge and took out the carton of milk. "Milk will help you sleep better."
"My kidneys.... are very healthy." Liam glanced at Anna emotionlessly.
Anna's face reddened. "Even though you don’t go to the toilet in the middle of the night, you will bloat up if the water is not excreted, and this still affects your sleep."
"You can help me expel it from my body," said Liam in a deep voice.
"You!" Anna couldn’t help but glare at him.
Liam raised his eyebrows and looked at her nonchalantly. This pissed her off, but she suppressed her anger.
"Mr. Ackman, water excretion is your body's automatic function, I don't think I can help you with that." Anna Hamilton smiled lightly.
"You can play a supporting role." Liam walked towards Anna and stood behind her, his shadow now enveloping hers.
Anna Hamilton's heartbeat got faster, and her hands were wet.
"The.... milk has been heated, please... drink it when it i s still warm."
"I don’t drink cow's milk." "Then... what kind of milk do you drink?” Anna Hamilton was searching the refrigerator and she heard him reply, "Yours."
Anna Hamilton felt like she was engulfed in fire and her face was as red as a ripened apple "I... erm... can finish the milk. If not, it will go to waste haha."
She did not look back at him. She raised the glass of hot milk and finished it in one gulp.
Liam's eyes twitched. His eyes twitched again when h e saw her looking for cold water in a rush.
Anna drank two glasses of water to cool down her tongue.
"Anna."
"Yeah?"
"Don't drink too much water before bed."
"Before bed?” Anna was stunned. Suddenly she felt herself rising. She was being lifted by Liam Ackman!
