Chapter 480 - Begging Forgiveness
"Sir, I saw Mr. Galih in the hospital," the guard reported.
Aiden's eyes immediately turned serious. "Did he see you?"
"Yes. But Madame didn't notice him."
"Find out what Galih is doing in the hospital," Aiden said with an unpredictable gaze.
"Yes sir," the bodyguard answered before ending the call.
Half an hour later, Hana brought Anya and Deny lunch. She did not go home immediately after delivering the food and stayed to accompany Anya.
"Mrs. Hana, go home first. I'll stay here tonight," Anya said.
"Anya, there will be a Christmas party at home tomorrow. Don't you want to go home and see how the preparations are going?" Hana couldn't bear to let Anya stay at the hospital.
Plus, Aiden told her to take Anya home. Otherwise, Hana would not have come specifically to deliver the food.
"Don't worry. I'll be home tomorrow morning," Anya said with a smile.
"Anya, it's not good if you stay at the hospital. You are pregnant now. What if you catch a cold or catch a disease here. I can't even take care of myself now. Don't get sick too," Deny also felt that it would be better for Anya to go home and rest at her house.
"I want to accompany you, dad. I don't have many opportunities to do this," Anya said, smiling faintly. "I'll stay the night and come back early in the morning. After Christmas, I'll take care of my divorce from Aiden. Maybe I'll go abroad before you can get out of the hospital,"
Anya knew that Harris was very reliable in his job. Currently, Harris was taking care of her passport and plane tickets. She knew that Harris would take care of it quickly so she could get out of Aiden's life soon.
Aiden had arranged everything so they could divorce as quickly as possible. When Harris sent the passport later, Anya must sign a share transfer agreement. And once she signed it, she would become a shareholder of the Atmajaya Group.
But before she could get the shares, Anya had to sign divorce papers.
"Hana, let Anya stay overnight. This is her wish," Deny said.
Hana's face looked confused. She didn't know what to do. "Let me ask Mr. Aiden first,"
Anya didn't answer. She just lowered her head without saying anything.
She knew Aiden told Hana to pick her up. But she didn't know if Aiden would allow her to stay in the hospital tonight.
Hana walked out of the room and called Aiden. "Sir, Anya doesn't want to come home with me. She wants to stay in the hospital tonight."
"What did you say?" Aiden asked in a cold voice.
"She's also coming back after Christmas, you're going to divorce her. She will go abroad before Mr. Deny is discharged from the hospital. Therefore, she wants to accompany Mr. Deny tonight," Hana continued.
Aiden tapped his finger on the table thoughtfully. He felt Deny didn't deserve Anya's love, but he wanted to grant Anya's request.
Instead of leaving Anya alone and feeling lonely at their house, maybe it was better for her to be in the hospital and feel Deny's love.
Deny didn't know that Anya was not his daughter. He had realized all his mistakes and wanted to spend all his life loving Anya.historical
Right now, what Anya needed the most was support from her family.
"Ask someone to look after and take care of Anya," Aiden said.
Hana was surprised to hear that. She did not think Aiden would let Anya stay in the hospital.
"Sir, how about I stay the night? Anya is pregnant now.."
"No, you don't. You can arrange preparations for the Christmas party at home. Just tell someone else to take care of Anya," after saying that, Aiden hung up on her.
Upon returning, Hana immediately tidied all the cutlery she brought and was about to go home. Anya walked her to the corridor. "Mrs. Hana, thank you for coming and delivering lunch. No need to bother delivering dinner. I can order it,"
"Anya, you are pregnant now. It's not good to eat food carelessly. I'll make dinner for you and have someone deliver it. Aiden has given you permission to stay overnight, but he asked someone to look after you," Hana replied.
"I'll tell Aiden," Hana still felt anxious, but in the end, she could only tell Anya to take good care of herself.
Towards evening, Deny's pain grew stronger, making him unable to take it anymore. The doctor came over to give him a pain reliever injection and told him to get plenty of rest.
Not long after, Deny fell into a deep sleep due to the drug's effects.
Anya left Deny's room and went to see Natali's condition.
Natali also felt postoperative pain, but she did not want to accept any injection from the doctor. She had had too many sedative injections in the mental hospital. She was afraid that all the injections would affect her brain and drive her completely insane.
"What are you doing here?" Natali's voice sounded cold when she saw Anya.
"I'm sorry," Anya looked at Natali sincerely.
The apology stunned Natali, "What do you mean?"
"Those who have committed crimes will be rewarded with their own deeds," Anya laughed bitterly. "When I saw you in that underground parking lot, I should have called the police and turned you over rather than letting you live in such torture."
"How dare you speak like that, you bastard! You should die! Do you think I will forgive you if you apologize?" When she heard Anya discussing the matter, Natali went crazy.
"I chose to ignore you and let you suffer that day. Now, God has taken someone very precious to me and I can't even protect my child. How about you? How will you get the punishment for your actions?" Anya sneered. "I do feel guilty and apologize for what happened that day. But I don't feel sorry for you at all,"
"One day, when I get out of the mental hospital, I'll kill you. Anya, I will really kill you!" Natali said very cruelly.
Her life had been very smooth.
She could even get engaged to Raka, the man of her dream. But she still wanted to harm Anya even on her engagement day.
All the tragedies that she had been through started from the time her body was stained by those two disgusting men.
The Mahendra family didn't like her anymore. And worse, Raka ignored her.
This was all Anya's fault!
Anya apologized to her, but what's the point?
Natali didn't need Anya's apology. All she wanted was Raka.
However, Anya had ruined her life.
She wanted to kill Anya. She really wanted to kill Anya!
"You are still stubborn and don't want to admit your mistakes. You brought this all to yourself. It's none of my business how you'll lament your own decision," Anya ignored her and walked out of Natali's room.
At first, she thought Natali could calm herself and started thinking about all her mistakes so far.
But as it turned out, it was just Anya's imagination. How could Natali realize all her mistakes?
However, Anya was truly sorry for letting Aiden punish Natali in that cruel way.
She felt that all the things that happened to her recently were punishment from God for her actions.
Standing in the hospital corridor, Anya muttered silently.
'God, I know I was wrong. I have no right to punish Natali like that. All my life, I have always tried to do good and avoid bad things. I've been fighting and surviving all this time..'
'Can I get one more chance to live happily together with Aiden? I don't want to be apart from him... I really love him... I beg you, please forgive me...'
"No need. I can do it myself," Anya immediately refused.
Without waiting for anything else, Hana turned around, and cleared the things that were on the table. After that, she straightened her back and walked out of the room.
As for Anya, right after the door to her bedroom closed, Anya opened her eyes wide. Not long after, she sat up and touched her lips.
Actually, Anya just wanted to pretend to fall asleep so Aiden hurried home. But she didn't expect that something soft would touch her lips when she closed her eyes.
She felt her heart beat so fast that her sternum trembled. Her mind was filled with a thick fog that made her unable to think anything.
After staring at the walls for 5 minutes, Anya got out of bed. She picked up her cell phone that was on the table, carried it to bed, and set her alarm.
-
After the alarm went off at 5 AM, Anya woke up. Without daydreaming or lazing on the bed, she stepped into the bathroom. Less than 10 minutes later, the girl had come out of her room carrying a backpack.
Anya had a little tiptoe and slowly descended the steps. She opened the kitchen cupboard, took out a packet of bread and hurriedly opened the door to her house.
Even Hana, who usually got up to make coffee, didn't know that this woman had gone.
The streets and the sky that morning were still shrouded in fog. Even though the sun had risen, the sky was still not very clear. No sounds of birds chirping that usually helped Anya rid off the drowsiness could be heard.
The girl turned slowly and looked at Aiden's house. When she saw that the headlights of the boy's house were still on, she let out a sigh of relief. Gabby bit her lower lip and turned around.
At exactly 6 to 10 minutes later, Anya was standing at the bus stop near his estate. Not long after, a red bus stopped in front of her. The girl just felt calm when the bus slowly left the stop.
Gabby took out her cell phone from her pocket and thought about what message to send Aiden.
'Aiden, I am leaving first. You don't have to wait for me.'
After hitting the send button, Anya put the phone in her pocket. She breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head, and enjoyed the view of the morning.
The window pane next to her reflected her face that seemed lost in thought. Like last night, her brain was filled with a thick fog that caused her unable to think clearly.
And now she couldn't meet Aiden with the calm she used to have before. That's why she decided to distance herself from Aiden.
-
Aiden's cell phone screen suddenly turned on.
He was still naked when he caught the sight, then he draped his towel on his shoulders. His hair was slightly damp, and his body already gave off a soapy scent. He picked up his cellphone and read Anya's message.
Not long after, a sigh came from Aiden's lips.
-
Even though Anya was playing a movie on her laptop, her mind wandered to last night's events.
Since she first met Aiden, she had always thought that the God was just kidding. And to make matters worse, she always thought 'husband' was a term of affection between close friends.
No wonder Aiden's attitude had changed drastically lately. Even though he had a cold face, his attitude and attention to Aiden was unusual.
Anya liked simplicity. She hated complex things the most, let alone feelings. According to her, affectionate feelings like loving were complicated, and just a waste of time.
Too preoccupied with her thoughts, Anya didn't hear the chair beside her being pulled.
"Hey, how's your weekend?" Suddenly a sweet voice sounded in Anya's ears. "Was there anything interesting going on?"
Anya quickly closed the laptop screen, turned around, and saw his sweet smile. She then frowned, and looked away.
"Hey," Nico frowned. "Did you eat something funny this morning? Why is your face like that?"
Naturally, Anya would have replied to Nico's joke and made a harsh reply. However, she didn't have the energy to fight with that boy today.
Seeing Anya's face still looking flat, Nico smiled widely. He propped his face with his fist. "What's wrong with you, my dear sister? Tell me, let me help you solve your problem. I'm an expert at—"
Anya frowned, and without turning, she pushed Nico's face. "Leave me alone,"
The smile on Nico's face instantly faded. His eyes became sad and his expression cold. He nodded his head slowly before averting his gaze.
