Chapter 736 - Concealing (2/2)

”He dared to hide Agnes from me. What should I be afraid of? I only care about Anya. As for Agnes, I'll take care of her later,” Aiden was sure of his intuition. He believes Agnes was the one who collaborated with the people who stole their lifeboats. He believes it was her who ordered these people to kill his bodyguards and kidnap Anya.

…

Meanwhile, in a dark village...

Anya lies on a floor made of wood. She's been trapped there for three days. There was a bed made of iron, and Aiden's bodyguard was seen tied to the bed, with his hands tied behind his back.

The bodyguard was bound and completely immobile. Apart from that, he was also unconscious.

There was only a middle-aged woman with a young child taking care of them, speaking a language they didn't understand.

Anya wanted to run away from there, but she didn't know the way. She was afraid that she would be caught before she could leave.

The people who abducted her also threatened her. If she dared to run away, they would kill the woman and her child.

Anya doesn't want innocent people to be killed and die because of her. What's more, that woman wanted to help her treat the wounds on  the bodyguard's body using a plant she found nearby.

The woman didn't understand their language, so she turned her attention to the little boy beside her.

”Hello, how old are you?” Anya asked.

The boy hesitated for a moment and then raised his palm.

Anya is shocked to see him. How could a five year old be this small and skinny? The child could not even stand up straight so he needed his mother's help to walk.

Anya smiled gently and asked, ”I have two children, they are twins. They are less than 1 year old. Do you know the meaning of twins?”

”They are the same?” The boy said doubtfully.

Anya did not think that the child could not only understand what she was saying, but also be able to speak.

”Yes, true. They are the same. When I left the house, they couldn't walk yet. But they are very naughty. They crawl, roll around and fight a lot.” When Anya talked about her two sons, the smile on her face grew even more gentle.

She told about Arka and Aksa to the mother and child.

Arka and Aksa often fight over toys and milk, even though they already have their own shares. In a heated fight, Arka would scratch his younger brother's face and Aksa retaliated by scratching him back.

After that day, their nails were cut very short.

The kid laughs while listening to Anya's story.

”Are you a boy or a girl?” Anya asked.

”A boy,” the boy replied.

”If you can meet my two sons, they will definitely like you right away. They don't have any older brothers,” Anya said with a smile.

Anya helped the woman to look after the boy for several days. She knows raising a small child is not easy. Plus, the boy couldn't walk. Perhaps because of the opium grown all over the estate.

Seeing that his son likes Anya, the mother is not against her son talking to Anya.

”Do you know about spices? My father is the king of spices, Galih Pratama. He has a plantation near here,” said Anya.

The woman's face showed suspicion as if she could not believe Anya's words.

”Don't you believe me?” Anya asked.

The lady says something that Anya doesn't understand. Anya looked at her son and said, ”I don't understand your mother's words. Can you explain it to me?”

”My mother said Mr. Galih is a good person and likes to help others. When this man wakes up, he will help you to get out of here,” said the boy.
