Chapter 644 - Meeting For The First Time (1/2)
Nadine got up from her chair and approached Anya. ”Auntie, I'm fine. I'm glad you are fine too. Rather than worrying about myself, I was more worried about what if I didn't check the bed at that time and got you hurt. Two years ago, my stupidity caused you to separate from my uncle, and made you lose your child. This time, I found the knife and saved you. Let's just say we're even. Don't feel guilty. I can't bear to face you if we keep going like this,” Nadine said, stroking Anya's back.
Aiden also rose to his feet then squatted beside Anya's chair and wiped her tears. ”Stop it. Everything is alright. Look, the six of us can still be together.”
Anya lifted her head and looked at Nadine. She said with tears still streaming down her face, ”Nadine, your uncle and I don't blame you for what happened two years ago.”
”I know. But I can't forgive myself. Maybe I can forget about my mistake after this. Auntie, you have to stay healthy and I will be taking care of myself too,” Nadine held Anya's hand tightly. ”Tomorrow, I'll go back to Iris and become a great shop manager.”
”Don't let Iris go bankrupt,” Nico said on purpose.
”We will see! I'm not stupid like you, big brother!” Nadine turned and stuck her tongue at Nico.
But Nico smiled instead, feeling relieved that his sister was fine. ”Try to prove it to me!”
After dinner, everyone returned to their respective homes. Aiden told Anya that Indah's condition was getting worse and she continued to refuse surgery. He advised Anya to immediately meet her.
”Fine. She is my mother after all. Keara's right, maybe her illness was also my fault. She thought she refused to do the surgery because I wasn't there,” said Anya.
”When do you want to meet her?” Aiden asked.
”Tomorrow. I've told you and you suggested that I see her immediately.” When talking about Diana, a smile appeared on Anya's lips. ”I think my mother is still the best in the world!”
”She loves you so much. Maybe even a biological mother will not be able to give the same thing as what she gave to you,” Aiden also had a high respect for Diana. To him, Diana was the perfect mother figure.
”Yes. My mother is the best mother in the world. God is very good to me. He gave me a good mother and husband,” Anya muttered as she leaned back in Aiden's arms. Her eyes felt even heavier.
She had not been able to sleep well for several days.
But that night, she slept peacefully in Aiden's arms.
…
The next day, Aiden and Anya went to the hospital where Indah was being treated.
In the morning, Hana helped Anya to pick some of the lilies in the garden and tie them into a beautiful bouquet.
Aiden didn't want to let Anya go alone but he couldn't leave his job either. In the end, he had to do a video conference in the car.
After he went back from his coma, Ivan slowly gave up his responsibilities in the company.
Ivan did not want to interfere with the Atmajaya Group and wanted to get out of it immediately. Meanwhile, Nico was still unable to lead the company alone.
That was why Aiden still had to lead the group.
His meeting ended just as their car pulled up in front of the hospital.
Anya sat in the car for a long time while looking out the window.
The hospital had a calm atmosphere, suitable as a place for recovery.
Alas, it mostly had rich people as patients.
”I've contacted Uncle Galih. He already knows you are his daughter. If you don't want to see them again after meeting today, they will respect your decision.” Aiden held Anya's hand tightly. ”Don't be afraid. I will keep you company.”
”I am not afraid. They are not bad people,” Anya took a deep breath. She was just nervous about meeting the parents she had never known. ”Come on, let's go out.”
Abdi got out of the car and opened the door for them.
Aiden helped Anya to get out of the car, worried that she would slip or fall. Galih's bodyguards were seen on guard at the door of the hospital. They immediately reported to Galih as soon as they saw Aiden's arrival.
