Chapter 661 - Childbirth (1/2)
”By the way, I heard Keara is about to give birth soon. What will Aiden do with her?”
”I don't know what he will do. But I will never let Aiden bring the child into this house,” Anya answered.
”If he dared to hurt my daughter, I will scold him for sure,” Diana snorted.
Anya laughed seeing her mother. ”You really love me the most. But I'm fine, Mom.”
”Indah loves you too. She only has one child. Don't be so cold to her. She is still sick and needs your support to recover. Only you can give her strength to live. I will not be jealous, because I know that I'll always be in your heart.” As she said this, Diana's eyes turned red.
Anya hugged her mother very tightly and cried in her arms. God was very good for giving her the best mother.
When Indah woke up in the evening, Galih called Aiden again.
Actually, he had saved Anya's number, but he was worried that he would disturb her rest so he decided to call Aiden.
If Anya was resting, Aiden could reject their call.
”Mrs. Diana is also here. Do you want to talk to her?” Aiden asked.
”Yes please,” Galih nodded.
Aiden took his cell phone to his room. He knocked on the door first because Diana was inside. ”Mother, Uncle Galih wants to talk to you.”
Anya looked nervously at Diana. She didn't know what Galih wanted to talk to Diana about.
Diana patted Anya's hand, trying to calm her down. ”Come in, Aiden.”
Aiden entered his room and gave his cell phone to Diana. He sat beside the bed and held Anya's hand gently. ”Aunt Indah is awake.”
”What do you think I should do?” Anya asked while looking at him.
Aiden kissed her forehead and whispered, ”I will support all of your decisions.”
Diana saw Galih's old face from the screen. During the past two years, the man seemed to age very quickly from being too tired.
”Is Indah alright?” Diana asked.
”Thank you for your concern. The operation is running smoothly and now she is awake,” Galih replied.
”Good. Anya is the child of all of us. As parents, we have to take care of our health to show our love for her. Now, let me make it clear. I raised Anya alone. It's true that your wife was the one who birthed her, but Anya is still my daughter. We need to take good care of her from now on,” Diana said deliberately.
”Diana... Thank you,” Galih's eyes looked red and his voice was a bit choked when he thanked Diana.
”The three of us are Anya's parents, and her children will be our grandchildren too. Let's raise them together,” Diana said with a smile.
”You have raised Anya so well. Indah is very grateful to you. She said that after she recovered, she would come to thank you in person,” said Galih.
Diana nodded. ”You get lots of rest too. Don't thank me. I'll come home soon. You talk to Anya first.”
After that, Diana handed over her cellphone to Anya and got up, ”Aiden please take me home.”
Aiden looked at Anya worriedly, but his wife just nodded her head.
After that, Diana immediately pulled Aiden out of the room.
When he went downstairs, Aiden just understood Diana's intention. ”Did you take me out for fear that Anya would be embarrassed with our presence there?”
”Do you think Anya doesn't want to acknowledge her parents? She was just ashamed and felt guilty towards me. She felt like she would be betraying me if she acknowledged someone else as her mother. You don't need to take me home, just wait until she finishes her call and take good care of her. Give them some time to talk first.” Diana took a deep breath then Abdi escorted her home.
Aiden looked at Diana's back as she returned home. It was at this time that he understood how deeply Diana loved her daughter.
She might not be Anya's birth mother, and her blood wasn't running inside Anya's veins either. But her love for Anya was no less than that of Anya's biological parents.
It could be said that Diana's love for Anya was the most sincere form of love.

In the evening, Nico and Tara came to have dinner with them. Nadine also arrived, while Harris was late because he had to work overtime.
