Chapter 221 - Shooting Star (2/2)
Aiden bowed his head and kissed the tears from the corner of Anya's eyes gently. ”I will find out everything. I'll find the person who did this to you. I will also try to help you to save this vanilla. If this vanilla can't be saved, I'll find new seeds for you that can grow faster.”
Anya shook her head, ”No need. I can solve everything by myself. I... I just love this plant too much.”
Aiden frowned. Why couldn't Anya realize that when she got sad, he felt sick too? Aiden was willing to do everything for Anya, whatever she wanted...
He hugged her gently, ”I know you are very sad right now. I understand.” Then, Aiden told about his childhood.
”Before my mother died, she gave me a cat. I asked someone to take care of the cat. Every time I come home, I see my mother in the little cat's body. One day, Nico accidentally gave the cat a drink containing alcohol so that the cat died. At that time, I could feel the same way as you…”
The tears streaming down Anya's face grew heavier. She stretched out her arms to embrace Aiden's waist.
Maria once said that Aiden's father didn't care about him and his mother didn't love him. That's why Aiden's attitude was cold like this.
The cat was probably the only gift from his mother...
The cat was Aiden's most precious treasure. But Nico accidentally killed it...
”I can feel the same feeling. I'm really angry...” Anya cried in Aiden's arms. ”I'm really frustrated. You have to help me find that person. I will kill them myself!”
Aiden wiped Anya's tears gently and calmed her down. ”Hmm… I'll find that person. But I don't want you to get your hands dirty.”
Anya raised her head. Her eyes still looked wet when she looked at Aiden. ”Do you forgive Nico?”
”I didn't talk to him for three months. After that, he pretended to be a cat and was acting cute in front of me. He said he would become my cat and keep me company every day. In the end, I forgive Nico for Sister Maria. Nico didn't do it on purpose so I can forgive him. But this person intentionally hurt you. I won't just let them go… ” Aiden's eyes burned.
Whoever tried to harm Anya, whoever made Anya sad, they would not end up happy...
”Sir, the experts are here,” Harris approached with three people behind him.
”Gentlemen, thank you for coming. I would be very grateful if you could save this vanilla,” said Aiden seriously.
”Mr. Aiden, there's no need to be grateful. We will try.”
The two employees entered the vanilla garden together with the experts. Anya also wanted to go in and take a look, but Aiden immediately stopped her.
”No need to enter. Calm yourself first. Trust me, everything will be fine,” Aiden said firmly.
His voice seemed to have magical powers that could calm Anya's heart. Every now and then she would gaze at the vanilla garden with anxious eyes. Anya didn't know what those people were talking about inside, but her heart waited expectantly.
”Everything will be alright. Don't you believe me?” Aiden's two hands held Anya's face. He didn't want Anya to be restless and stared at the garden. Finally, he pointed to the sky. ”Look. Tonight, there are many stars in the sky. I've never seen so many stars.”
Anya looked at Aiden's handsome face. After being injured, Aiden's world turns dark. He survived but he couldn't see the beauty of the world.
At this moment, he could see how beautiful the starry sky was…
Aiden alone could be so strong against some hard trials. Anya thought she should be able to do the same.
She was Anya Atmajaya! Now was not the time to be sad!
The plants she had planted with her own two hands must be as strong as her. She was sure that the plant could be saved.
”Anya, look. There are shooting stars. Hurry up and make your wish,” Aiden pointed at the sky once again.
