"I don't blame Raka's mother for giving me money to part with her son three years ago..." Anya continued in a low voice. She hoped that Aiden would not make a fuss about the money because Raka's mother protected her when she was a child.
"Since Raka's mother used to protect you, I won't do anything to the Mahendra Family." Aiden said calmly.
"Can you give me a copy of the document?" Anya asked.
Aiden raised his hand, stroked Anya's face with his finger, "What do you want to do? Do you want to finish it yourself?"
"I can't hide behind your protection forever. At least, if Raisa bothered me, I wouldn't stand still and let her do whatever she wants." Said Anya. She didn't want to keep being a weakling and asked Aiden for protection. She must be able to protect herself and not embarrass Aiden.
Aiden smiled and kissed the top of Anya's head. The scent of flowers vaguely wafted from her hair. His little wife wanted to learn to stand up and fight. That was a good thing!
Nico said that he should pamper Anya, but Aiden liked it this way. He wanted to see Anya to change for the better.
"How are you going to solve your stepmother's problem?" Aiden seemed to ask casually but he actually noticed everything.
"My mother owns a villa in her name. She gave it to my father so that my father would let me go." Anya said with a bitter smile.
Until now, she felt guilty for her mother. Her mother had to sacrifice a lot because of her stupidity. If only they didn't lose the villa, Anya could've sold it when they needed money for her mother's treatment.
"Your mother is a great woman. She raised you so well. I will find her the best doctor." Said Aiden.
"Is it true?" Anya was excited when she heard Aiden's words. Her hope of seeing her mother wake up grew stronger. She kissed Aiden's cheek excitedly, "Thank you!"
Aiden smiled, delighted when Anya kissed him on the cheek. His wife was easily moved. She was happy with whatever Aiden gave her. All this time she had always lived in pain so when someone gave her a little warmth, she immediately felt grateful.
Anya didn't fully understand what love meant. So far, she'd only learned it from Raka, the only man she ever loved. She thought that Raka was her true love, but in reality, it was only monkey love. In addition, the man did not appreciate the love she gave.
Aiden promised to take care of his wife and give all his love to Anya.
"Anya, did you live in that small house after leaving the Tedjasukmana Family's house?" Aiden asked.
Anya's old little house was very close to the Aiden housing estate. The location was also close to the flower garden owned by her mother.
"After my mother lost her villa, she couldn't pay for her medical anymore. My mother bought land for a flower garden so that I could continue to support my life." Anya said in a choked voice, "If at that time she continued her treatment, maybe her smell could return. She's a perfumer…"
"I was also injured in the explosion so I lost my smell. The doctor said it happened because my nerves were damaged. Fortunately, my nerves returned to normal while I was on medication. There is no cure for a nerve that is completely destroyed. It's not your fault, don't blame yourself." Said Aiden.
Anya nodded. This was the first time Aiden told her about his experience, "Aiden, you must have been in a lot of pain at that time ..."
Anya looked at him, her face seemed to be in pain. She could see her mother's pain firsthand so she could imagine Aiden going through the same thing.
Aiden smiled at her and recalled his accident at that time. But he didn't regret saving Anya at all!
He was a man. He could endure the pain. Aiden couldn't imagine all that happened to Anya.
When he was rescued from the scene, he suffered severe burns. His ears were deaf due to the loud explosion sound. His eyes were blind, he lost his smell, broke his leg and damaged his nerves. Doctors even said that he would not have been able to walk all his life without a miracle.
Aiden was a tough man, but that one night incident alone made him a useless person.
His world became dark, without a sound.
He couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't eat, couldn't smell the scent, couldn't feel his lower body at all.
Everyone said it was over!
But three months later, Aiden returned to the company in his wheelchair and chaired a top brass meeting.
His smell and hearing slowly recovered. The burns were treated using sophisticated medicine so they didn't leave any traces at all.
His only weaknesses were his blind eyes and paralyzed legs.
However, time solved everything. Six months later, Aiden was back on the road.
There was nothing that Aiden couldn't do.
"It's all over." Aiden said calmly.
"You are a good man. God will always take care of you and protect you." Anya held Aiden's face and landed a light kiss on his chin, "Everything will be alright!"
"The greatest gift from God is sending you to me." Aiden said with a gentle smile, "I used a special medicine for the burns I suffered. I'll give it to your mother later."
Anya saw Aiden's face which had no scar at all. Medicines that could produce this kind of result were definitely not cheap. Ordinary people would not be able to pay for it.
Anya was in doubt, "That kind of medicine must be very expensive."
Aiden smiled when he heard Anya still thinking about money. How could other people think of this woman as a woman who was hungry for wealth? Never once did Anya touch his money or ask him for money other than for her mother's treatment.
"Your husband has a lot of money." Aiden said.
Anya laughed at Aiden's answer. Her cheeks flushed slightly when she heard Aiden mention the word 'husband', "I know you have a lot of money, but I don't want to use your money. And I can't afford such expensive fees." She said.
"Your mother is also my mother now. I need to take care of her too. There is no need to pay, I will cover it all." Aiden said.
"Then, I will return the money to you later." Anya said.
"How do you plan to earn it?" Aiden asked.
"Do you know Galih Pratama, the king of spices in this city? He and my mother are good friends. All flower garden owners would sell flowers and herbs to him. The price he gave was also very good. So I can raise money quickly if I sell him flowers." Anya said.
Aiden's brows wrinkled a little when he heard that name, "Have you ever met Galih Pratama?"
Anya shook her head, "My mother's flower garden is not big. I can't meet him. But I did speak on the phone with him. He is very good to me. He said that I could look for him if I had a hard time."
"When the Tedjasukmana Family didn't want to lend you money, why didn't you borrow money from your mother's friend?" Aiden asked casually as if they were in normal conversation but his brain was thinking about something.
Anya only smiled slightly when answering Aiden's question, "My mother said I shouldn't borrow money from the Tedjasukmana Family unless it was absolutely necessary. And I can't talk about money in front of Galih Pratama."
"Why?" Aiden's eyebrows raised. He didn't understand all of this.
"I do not know. But I have seen a love letter from Galih Pratama for my mother. I think there is a story between them that makes their relationship awkward." Anya said with a smile, "I didn't peek inside, but I think it's a love letter. And there are tens of them!"
