Chapter 737 - Thick Accent (1/2)
”My mother said Mr. Galih is a good person and likes to help others. After this man wakes up, he will help you get out of here.”
Anya was very happy to hear that. She cupped her hands to express her gratitude to the boy because she knew that she could not understand his mother's language.
The woman looks shy. She hurriedly changed the bandages on Aiden's bodyguard wounds and then left.
On the fourth day since Anya's disappearance, Aiden finally met the owner of the opium plantation, Reza. However, the person was evasive and said that he had never seen a woman with such traits.
Aiden promises huge rewards to anyone who manages to find Anya.
Meanwhile, Indah is really worried for her daughter. Every day she keeps crying and insists on visiting the garden to wait for Anya there.
”Galih, I want to go to the garden. If Anya is fine, she will definitely come back there,” said Indah.
”Even though the flood has receded, it is still not safe there. Just wait for the news at the hotel,” said Galih.
”Anya really cares about that garden. If she can't reach us, maybe she will look for us in the garden,” Indah continued to insist.
”Indah... Okay, I'll get someone to take you,” Galih knew that he could not persuade his wife anymore and finally decided to comply with her request.
Galih picked Indah by himself and drove her to the garden. After the earthquake, there was also a flood there. But Anya managed to look after the garden so well that the impact was minimal.
The workers had returned to their duties, replanting spices, fertilizing the land and restoring the crops.
Aiden followed Galih for several days and finally found Agnes' hiding place.
At around 10pm, Aiden walked into Agnes' hospital room while the woman was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Agnes felt someone approaching her bed. When she opened her eyes, she saw Aiden standing there.
”Aiden? Is there any news about Anya? ” Agnes asked.
”What happened?” Aiden asked coldly. His hands were clenched into fists as he was trying to hold back his anger.
”Someone attacked our lifeboat and they were carrying knives. The people stabbed me in the stomach and threw me in the water. When I was injured, Anya was still in the lifeboat. How are things now?” Agnes asked anxiously.
”Why didn't you tell us such important news? We've been looking everywhere for Anya these past few days…”
”I just woke up tonight. You can ask the doctor if you don't believe it. The hospital has informed my uncle and he will be here soon.”
And Galih arrived just as Agnes said that.
He got out of the elevator and immediately saw Aiden's bodyguard standing in front of the door to Agnes' room. He felt like his heart was being squeezed.
He pretended to be calm and walked toward the room. When he saw Aiden, he took the initiative to greet him. ”Aiden, you are here...”
”Father, since when did you find Agnes?” Aiden asked.
”Two days ago. She was injured and dragged by the flood. Her wound was infected and she was unconscious. I'm afraid you will be too reckless and disturb her rest so I didn't tell you. Agnes, tell us what happened then. Anya hasn't been found until now,” Galih said calmly.
Without waiting for Agnes' answer, Aiden immediately got up and walked towards the door. ”I have other things to do. I'll go first.”
After he left, Galih took a deep breath, ”How are you?”
”Aiden seems very angry. Does he wish that I am the one who disappeared and Anya safe?” Agnes snorted irritably.
”Anya disappeared and Aiden was very worried. Maybe he just got emotional. Do you remember the characteristics of those who attacked you in that lifeboat?” Galih asked.
”I'm dizzy and I can't remember anything. Uncle, even though I remember, do you think I will tell you?” Agnes laughed loudly.
”You...” Galih was angry until his face turned red. ”Don't tell me Anya's disappearance has something to do with you.”
