Chapter 838 - Not Family (1/2)

”Keara's death made your father think that I was the one who didn't take good care of her. He said I was the one who caused her death,” Indah said, smiling bitterly.

Anya took a deep breath. ”He raised her, loved her and never left her side. Of course it was difficult for him to accept her death. Don't worry about it. If he knew what Keara was doing, he would understand.”

”Keara hated me. She spread rumours about me, slandered me. That's why I cut off her treatment and transferred her to a regular hospital. Not that I didn't help her. If she killed herself for that, how come it's my fault?”

Aiden replied calmly, ”Mother, when dad gets out of prison, let me talk to him. If he still won't open his eyes and blame you, I suggest you make a plan in advance. You can't be happy if you live with someone who hates you. There may be danger.”

”Do you mean…” Indah looked at Aiden in surprise.

”Father's mentality has changed a lot over the last few years. He becomes very sensitive, suspicious and probably won't be able to hear what I have to say. After all, I was the first to discover that Agnes was actually Keara. Their plan failed and he went to prison, but in the end Keara still died. To him, we are not family, but murderers who killed his daughter,” Aiden said.

Anya looked at her husband suspiciously. She accompanied Indah to visit Galih to prison every month and found her father was still indifferent.

How did Aiden know all this?

”I can send someone to jail to take care of him and of course that person will report his every move to me,” Aiden explained.

Anya nodded. ”Then, just try to explain it to father first. If you can't, persuade him to seek therapy. If he still refuses and hates us, we should stay away from him!”

”Anya, how can you say that? No matter what happens, he is your father,” said Indah.

Anya's face was cold and expressionless. ”Mother, what did you do after you found me? You always give me love that you couldn't give for years. You protected me sincerely and truly loved my two sons. But what about dad? He knew that Keara wanted to take my life over and over again. But in order to save her, he did everything he could, even risked his life going into jail.”

”Your father was just trying to…”

”Don't you remember the garland in front of the school? Keara wanted to kill us all. Keara wanted to reign over the Pratama Group. She even wanted to kill dad too. But dad was still trying to protect such a person. Didn't he think about me? I'm also his daughter. He also has a lot to make up to me from 20 years of separation,” Anya sighed and continued.

”My father turned himself in to the police and went to prison, not because we reported it. He hated us every day after he went to prison. I won't stop you if you still want to live with him. But don't expect me to think the same. If he didn't change himself, I wouldn't think of him as my father anymore.”

Seeing Anya looking so angry, Indah didn't want to make her daughter even more sad just because she chose to defend her husband.

”Anya, I'm not forcing you to love him. If he really doesn't care about me and you anymore, I won't want to be with him,” said Indah.

After hearing that, Anya smiled in relief. ”Don't forget, mom. No matter what happens, you still have me.”

Indah nodded. After that, she changed the subject. ”What do you think of Jonathan and Jenny?”

”My father disapproves of their relationship. He was afraid that Jenny would suffer after marrying Jonathan. Being a stepmother isn't easy,” Aiden said honestly.
