Chapter 681 - Postpartum Depression (2/2)
Aiden knew that Anya was in a dilemma. She missed her two sons but was also worried about Diana. If she continued to stay in the hospital and think about all these problems, Aiden was worried that his wife would experience postpartum depression.
He immediately ordered someone to remodel the VVIP room, making a partition using glass and creating a mini perfume room for Anya.
That way, Anya could work and still see her mother's condition.
Anya tried to keep herself busy every day. When she wasn't working, she would sit by her mother's bed and report all the work she did today.
She told Diana what perfume she made today and all of its ingredients in detail.
Christmas Eve arrived in the blink of an eye, but Diana still didn't wake up. All members of the family came and visited her. After they all returned home, finally Anya and Aiden were left alone.
”Anya, mother is still not awake. How about we take Arka and Aksa back to town after mom wakes up? If they are brought home now, I'm afraid you will be tired because you have to go back and forth between home and the hospital,” Aiden said cautiously.
Anya was surprised and immediately turned to look at him. ”You promised me that Arka and Aksa can come home for Christmas. How can you break your own promise? I can only see them from the video call. I really miss them.”
”If you miss them, we can go back to the island to spend Christmas with them there. At the time of the new year, we will return to the city to celebrate with mom. How about it?” Aiden asked softly.
”Not! Aiden, why didn't you keep your promise?” Tears streamed down Anya's face.
Aiden immediately took her into his arms. ”Don't cry. I'm just suggesting. If you disagree, I'll find another way.”
”I don't know what to do. Mother hasn't woken up yet. I-I…” Anya sobbed, her tears kept falling. She couldn't continue, but Aiden knew that she was very sad right now.
Although Aiden didn't want to admit this fact, he knew that Anya was experiencing postpartum depression after giving birth. He consulted Tara's friend who was a psychiatrist about the symptoms that Anya had been experiencing lately and the psychiatrist confirmed that it was very likely that Anya was experiencing postpartum depression.
She cried easily, was so sensitive and very vulnerable. She was also easily provoked by her emotions and her moodswing was pretty worse.
In fact, Aiden and Indah did nothing to Anya which caused her to not be able to breastfeed anymore. She could no longer produce breast milk because of the pressure she had to mentally endure while recovering.
But Aiden didn't want to tell Anya about this problem because he didn't want her to blame herself. If that happened, Anya's postpartum depression would get worse.
So, in the end Indah sacrificed herself and said that she was the one who asked the doctor to do it.
As a mother, she loved her daughter very much. In order to save Anya, she had to sacrifice her hand that has not been able to fully recover until now.
Anya would never question Indah's love for her because what Indah did all for her. In the end, Anya accepted the fact that she could no longer breastfeed.
Everyone knew Anya was depressed so they always took turns to accompany her, trying to help her not to be sad.
The doctor said that during when she was pregnant with twins, Anya was always tense because she was worried about the safety of her two sons.
After giving birth, someone tried to harm her children, making Anya even more scared.
Anya's life only started to improve when she lived on the island with her two sons. But suddenly her mother had an accident bad enough to knock her unconscious.
Her mother's condition made Anya seem like she had been hit with something hard. And Anya couldn't hold on to be strong.
She immediately returned to the city to see the condition of her mother. She was really scared, angry, worried, sad, causing inflammation and fever.
What made Anya even more devastated was the fact that she could no longer breastfeed. Even though she seemed to have accepted that fact, she still felt depressed.
Aiden kissed Anya's forehead patiently. ”Anya, don't cry. Go to sleep. I will take you to see the children tomorrow,”
