"Can you still eat casually? I heard that Keara is pregnant!" After receiving the news, Esther immediately came and met Anya.

Anya looked at Esther entering the room with a relaxed gaze. Her hand was still scooping the rice, as if the news had absolutely nothing to do with her.

​​

"The food is delicious. Everything was prepared by Mrs. Hana for me. Why can't I eat casually? If Keara wants to get pregnant and have children, that's her business, not mine," Anya said indifferently.

She didn't care about Keara.

"What if that child belongs to Aiden?" Esther asked carefully as she watched Anya's expression.

"No way," Anya replied calmly. She didn't need to think twice about answering it because she knew very well Aiden didn't love Keara.

"I know you believe in Aiden. But do you think that Aiden couldn't make a mistake by loving you too much? Just look at Keara's face. You two are very similar. They said they went out together on Valentine's Day. If you count it with Keara's current pregnancy date, it is possible that the child is Aiden's," Esther said while sitting on the sofa.

Anya's hand stopped from moving her spoon for a moment. She never thought of that possibility. But she was sure that even if Aiden was drunk, he could tell the difference between her and Keara.

Aiden was a smart man. How could he be trapped by Keara's cheap tricks?

Even if he fell into the trap, it meant that Aiden did it on purpose.

"I believe in Aiden," Anya whispered.

Esther could only take a deep breath at Anya's answer. "You better prepare yourself for the worst, in case the child in Keara's womb really is Aiden's. Maybe the Atmajaya Family won't do anything to you, but I'm afraid the Pratama Family will come to you and ask you to let go of Aiden for the sake of the child in Keara's womb," Esther tried to remind Anya so that Anya wouldn't be hurt a second time.

Anya just laughed at her. "I won't let Aiden go, unless I'm sure I can't have any more children. Now I still have a chance..."

"What are you worried about? Your health? You are young and you can recover. But Keara is different. That child was her only hope to trap Aiden. She bet her chance on this opportunity. I'm afraid she will do something to you. Be careful."

Esther was worried about Anya's safety because she knew how cunning Keara was.

Keara only had this one chance to get Aiden. She would do whatever it took to get rid of Anya, the only barrier that kept her from getting close to Aiden.

"Don't worry," Anya nodded with a smile.

"Has Aiden been calling you recently?" Esther asked again. She knew from Diana that Aiden was currently abroad.

"Every day," Anya replied as she continued eating.

"No wonder you trust him so much," Esther laughed at Anya's answer. As it turned out, Anya had a lot of trust in Aiden because the man kept contacting her and updated her about his life all the time. "Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to see the spices. Will you come along?"

Anya then nodded excitedly. If she joined Esther, she would also expand her connections and gain the opportunity to connect with people in her field.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow." Esther patted Anya's shoulder gently. "Ask Aiden to order his men to protect you when you go out tomorrow."

Anya just smirked shyly. "Okay,"

After Esther left, Anya immediately contacted Aiden.

"Are you sleeping? I just finished lunch. I will go with Mrs. Esther tomorrow," Anya said from the phone.

"I will have some of my bodyguards follow you while you are away so they can protect you. Apart from that, they can also help you to carry things or anything." There was no need for Anya to ask, Aiden would always prioritize her safety.

Even now, Aiden had his bodyguards guarding her secretly at Iris without Anya's knowledge.

Aiden didn't want to take risks and lose Anya again.

"Good then," Anya said with a smile.

"I just took a shower and wanted to call you. But it turns out you called me first. Do you miss me?" Aiden walked over to his bed and sat there.

"How about you?" Anya didn't answer and threw the question back.

"Anya, I really, really, really miss you. If you don't miss me back, just watch when I come back." Aiden took a dry towel beside the bed and dried his hair.

Anya laughed at Aiden's answer, "Then, do I have to miss you?"

"Yes," Aiden replied with a smile.

"I miss you."

"I'll be home the day after tomorrow," the man went abroad this time not only to visit a branch of his company, but also to have his health checked.

He had had a lot of headaches lately. He also had acute insomnia, making it difficult for him to sleep well.

The result of the examination wasn't very good. The doctor suggested that Aiden have a craniotomy operation. But the procedure was very risky.

The risk was not only when he was on the operating table, but also afterward. He could experience epilepsy, coma and so on.

The risk of the operation was so great that Aiden finally decided to give up without even trying. It would be better if he spent the rest of his life beside Anya.

He had lost his sight for one year and his whole world was dark. Headaches and temporary blindness like this could still be tolerated.

The pain was nothing compared to when he had to lose Anya.

If he had surgery, he might not wake up again. Aiden didn't want to take that risk. It was better for him to have a headache for life than leaving Anya alone.

Two years like hell had passed just to come to this point.

Finally, he was back with Anya again and he didn't want to miss this opportunity just to get rid of the pain in his head.

The doctor had already given pain relievers and drugs for nerves, but he still advised Aiden to undergo the surgery because the effects of the drugs were minimal and could not solve the problem like surgery.

In addition, the doctor also advised Aiden to get plenty of rest, reduce his work and have his health checked frequently.

Aiden had no intention of telling all this to Anya. He wanted to be someone Anya could rely on.

If Anya found out that he was sick, she would not want to depend on him and thought that she would add to his burden again.

During the three days on the island, Aiden spent his time without working. He slept so well that his headaches and temporary blindness did not come.

In this world, Anya was the only cure for him.

Only Anya could heal him.

Anya didn't know about Aiden's illness. She felt so happy when she knew the man would be home the day after tomorrow.

"When you're back, come to my mother's house. Nico planned to propose to Tara in the garden," Anya said from the phone.
