Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 680

Seeing her exhausted daughter, Indah immediately approached her. "Anya, if you are tired, go home first and rest. Later when your mother wakes up, we will contact you directly."
"No, you and dad need to rest. I'll stay here," Anya got up and approached Jonathan. "Brother, please take dad and mom home."
Now that Jonathan was her older cousin, Anya felt it was inappropriate to call him by his name like before.
"We'll come back tomorrow. You also take care of your health," Jonathan nodded.
"Aiden, take good care of Anya. She just gave birth, she might catch a flu," before returning home, Indah reminded Aiden first.
"I will take care of Anya. Sorry we couldn't take you," Aiden replied.
"No need to take us," Indah stepped forward and gave her cardigan to Anya. "The hospital is cold at night. Don't get sick."
"Mother, I'm not cold. And you're also not feeling well…" As soon as Anya was about to return Indah's cardigan, Galih was already a step faster, covering his wife's body with his jacket. "Just use it. Your mom can use mine,"
Anya nodded, feeling the love of her parents made her feel so warm.
...
After escorting Galih and Indah home, Jonathan returned to the hospital and told Anya and Aiden everything that had happened at his family's house.
"Anya, my aunt loves you so much. My family has always treated her badly. I hope you can understand her," said Jonathan.
Secretly, Aiden gazed at Jonathan with a judgemental look. He knew that what Jonathan said was not for Anya or Indah's good, but because he was afraid that his family would be affected by this problem.
"Fany really wanted to save her husband, but you ignored her and forced her to use extreme means so that her husband could get out of prison. You are also partly responsible for everything that happened," Aiden spitted the truth.
"I… I am indeed responsible. Because I couldn't take care of my family well, this thing happened. I'm really sorry," Jonathan said sincerely.
"Mom is trying to protect you and Lisa because you are her family. The Atmajaya Family has helped you to get your current position so you can take care of your family, and stop your father and mother from committing more crimes. But in the end, you can't do your job right. After what happened yesterday, are you still trying to ask me for help?" Aiden sneered.

Jonathan was stunned by Aiden's words, but he couldn't argue with them.
Because Aiden was right.
Even though Toni was in prison, Fany still had power in her hand, making it difficult for him to take over the Srijaya Group. With the help of Aiden, he was able to become the leader of the Srijaya Group.
However, he was too busy with his work to the point that he didn't know what was going on at his home.
Hearing that Anya's mother was injured, Jonathan knew that he could not escape his responsibilities as the head of the Srijaya Family, especially after all the help that the Atmajaya Family had given him. He couldn't explain his inability to set his family straight.
That's why he took Galih and Indah home, after which he returned to apologize to Anya and Aiden.
"You are right. I can't afford to take care of the people around me even though I already got your help. I am really, really sorry. One day, I will repay all of your kindness. Whenever you need anything, you can always look for me," Jonathan looked so sincere. He really felt guilty.
Anya finally understood what Aiden and Jonathan were talking about.
She had no idea that in order to avoid the danger lurking around her, Aiden had secretly helped Jonathan to secure his position as head of the Srijaya Family and Srijaya Group with the hope that Jonathan would be able to control his family.
Aiden felt a little calm when he heard that Jonathan did not allow Fany to leave the house.
But who would've known that even from her house, Fany could still order someone to injure Diana.
There were many things that caused this incident to happen to Diana.
Jonathan's carelessness for not being able to look after Fany properly...
Aiden's negligence due to the lack of bodyguards who could protect his entire family ...
And Diana's stubbornness because she didn't want to leave her garden, even though she knew Anya and her whole family were in danger...
They all didn't want anything bad to happen. But it still happened. They couldn't stop those with vile intentions to stop going after their family.

Luckily, Diana had passed her critical condition.
However, that did not mean that Fany's actions could be just forgiven.
Aiden stroked Anya's head on shoulder. "Do you hear that? Whenever you need him, you can call him."
"I don't want anything. I just want my mom to wake up and be fine," Anya's face still looked pale. Her voice sounded low and weak.
Even though her mother had passed the critical period, she was still unconscious until now. Anya still didn't know what would happen to her mother later.
What if her mother went back into a coma like before?
Jonathan's face looked grim and full of regret as he said, "Anya, I'm sorry. I know it's no use even if I apologize a thousand times. Tell me, what can I do…"
"It should be harvesting season for the apples and vanilla in my mom's garden. Although there are several workers there, they also need someone to manage them. Can you do it?" Aiden immediately gave Jonathan a tough task.
Taking care of the garden was not as easy as it looked like. Not to mention that Diana's garden was very large and had various types of plants.
"Leave it to me. I will find a professional to handle it. I'll make sure Aunt Diana's garden will be well taken care of," Jonathan promised.
Anya didn't understand Aiden's intentions, but she didn't oppose it. After all, she was too lazy to think about the garden.
After Jonathan left, Anya asked him, "Why did you tell him to take care of my mom's garden?"
Aiden stroked Anya's head gently. "Jonathan has been trying to stop Fany, though he was negligent and gave Fany the opportunity to strike in the end,"
"Aiden, you've changed..." Anya looked at her husband with a smile.
"Have I?" Aiden looked confused.
"You still look cold on the outside, but your heart is actually warm. You told him to help with my mom's garden because you wanted to relieve him of his guilt a little," Anya said in a low voice. "You pretended to scold him, when in fact you were helping him."
Aiden kissed the top of Anya's head. "Jonathan is your friend and cousin. He's done his best. Nobody expected Fany to go to such an extreme. If you want to blame someone, blame me. I should have sent more people to look after mom."
"This is all Fany's fault. Why should I blame others for it? Was she the one who caused the power cuts in the hospital and the fire in the pediatrics department?" Anya asked.
Aiden's face tightened slightly and he nodded. "Don't worry, she's been arrested. She won't be able to do anything now."
"When my mother came home from the hospital, I wanted to take Arka and Aksa home," Anya wished her mother would recover soon. She had been looking forward to a life with her complete family, a life filled with happiness and hope.
But Aiden still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief because it wasn't Fany who caused the blackout and also the fire in the hospital.
In other words, there were still people who hated them and wanted to harm them apart from Fany.
When the electricity in the hospital went out and a fire broke out, Mona had already been caught.
Then, who did all that?
Aiden sent his men to monitor Deny, but Deny had no reason to harm Anya.
Aiden didn't want to take his children back to town if he still couldn't find the real culprit. He didn't want to worry Anya and decided to hide it from her.
By now, Anya was too tired from all that was happening.
"Alright, after everything is over, we can take Arka and Aksa back home."

Zeroth Knight re: Dawn
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Updated twice a day. Evangeline Sayagawa makes the ultimate choice at the cost of the ultimate sacrifice: She decides to leave her world that she fought so hard to return to, and return to Arsea in hopes of saving everyone. Little was she aware of just how bad things had gotten. The world she was returning to was cast into chaos and on the precipice of being destroyed. She awakens in this new kind of Arsea, after having witness the end of a dear friend. The world now belonged to the monstrosities of old, the Beta, and their corrupted human warriors, the Eld. With her fake identity, that which defined her in this world, being stripped from her, she now has to navigate a darkness in which not even the women she loves recognize her. This is book 2 of the Evangeline Sayagawa "Zeroth Knight" story, with book 1 being found here. The first "chapter" posted here is a hyper-condensed version of volume/book 1, in case anyone needs a generalized refresher of events, or for those who wish to start with this book instead as it is faster paced and more action-packed than the first one. Suffice to say, but most of the details from book 1 are lost by doing this; however, enough of the more-important information is present to allow one to understand the general idea of what is going on. This book features a mostly lesbian cast and deals more so with fate and crises of identity more than anything else. However, there is much more action in this one than any of my other stories thus far and brings about the end of Evangeline Sayagawa's story arch... sort of. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: "Escape The KNIGHT" Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR Follow me on Twitter @Ozefen0 to stay up to date on my stories and what have you.
