Chapter 123 - Anyas True Father (1/2)

”She will return to her original position and need not expect anything.” Aiden said. After that, he could hear the sound of footsteps leaving the door. The footsteps sounded hasty, escaping the door quickly.

'She will return to her original position and need not expect anything…'

That sentence kept ringing in Anya's mind. Tears obscured her vision as she was about to descend the stairs. She could not see the stairs clearly so she tripped and almost fell.

”Anya!” Hana shouted loudly from the ground floor. She could see Anya stumbled and rushed to catch her.

”Ah!” Anya couldn't control her shaking body. She closed her eyes tightly in fear, afraid of the pain she would feel if she fell.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm and wrapped it around her waist, holding her back from falling. Aiden used one hand to hold Anya's body, while the other hand held the banister to support her.

Anya turned around and saw Aiden with teary eyes, ”Aiden ...”

Aiden hugged her gently as he rubbed her back, ”Why are you running? What if you fall?”

”I forgot to bring an eye mask for you.” Anya said quietly.

Hana, who heard it from below, immediately took Aiden's eye mask, ”Let me take it.” She said.

”Are you hurt?” Aiden asked worriedly.

Anya felt her hand being pulled a little hurt. Aiden suddenly grabbed her. Maybe a muscle was pulled at that time. However, if Aiden didn't pull her and hold her body, she might have fallen down the stairs. It wasn't just her hands that would hurt, but her whole body.

”I'm fine.” Anya replied softly. No matter how much pain she felt in her hands, the pain she felt in her heart was even more intense!

The kindness and gentleness that Aiden gave her was not genuine. All that was because he saw Keara on her. Previously, she thought it would be fine if she just replaced Keara. But it turned out that her heart felt so hurt. She couldn't do it.

Keara wasn't dead yet and she's going to come back. Once Keara returned, Anya had to give up her place to its true owner.

Aiden said she had to go back to where she was and expect nothing.

She also thought not to hope for anything, but the happiness Aiden gave her turned out to grow hope in her heart. She naively thought she could live with Aiden forever. She wanted to learn to love Aiden and live peacefully with him.

But all of that was just one big bubble that would break easily at the slightest touch.

Anya looked at Aiden with teary eyes. She didn't know what happened to her. All she knew was that her heart really hurt...

Aiden looked at Anya and noticed the woman was about to cry. He didn't know what made Anya suddenly feel sad like this, ”Did you listen to that?”

”Listen to what?” Anya pretended not to understand what Aiden was talking about.

”No, nothing. Nevermind, Help me to the room.” Aiden said.

Anya took a deep breath and tried to hold back her tears, ”I thought you could see. How did you catch me?”

Aiden's eyes brushed over Anya's small face that looked sluggish and said, ”I can hear your footsteps. When I followed you, I heard Hana suddenly scream. Startled, I suddenly saw a faint shadow in front of me and when I reached out instinctively, I didn't expect I would actually catch you.” The lie came out of Aiden's mouth very smoothly.

Anya's innocence made her not understand that Aiden was lying to her. She looked at Aiden in surprise, ”Is it possible that your eyes can see at a critical moment like that?”

”Maybe.” Aiden replied with a nod.

Anya's brain was spinning fast. Could it be that Aiden's eyes could recover if something had triggered it? Should she try to find the trigger? Who knew if Aiden's eyes would really recover.

But once Aiden's eyes recovered, he would realize that the person beside him was not Keara, the woman he loved. After all, Keara would return to him, and with fully recovered eyes, Aiden would return to live with Keara, not her. Anya felt sad thinking about it ...
