"To the hospital. I want to visit my father," Anya said.

To guarantee her safety? To protect her?

​​

Aiden said that he loved her, but he wanted to divorce her.

Aiden said that he didn't love Anya anymore, but when she left, he still sent his bodyguards to protect her and report her wherever she went.

The guards drove very carefully and moments later, they arrived at the hospital where Deny was being treated.

Anya went down first and stood at the door waiting for the bodyguard. Even though she didn't like being followed, Anya decided to keep quiet.

The hospital was seen busy with many people. Anya didn't want something like before to happen, so it was better if someone had to protect her.

The guard escorted her upstairs, until Anya entered Deny's room. After that, she stood and waited at the door.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Anya entered Deny's room and saw her father standing by the window, looking out.

"Anya, you came. I'm looking at the weather. It was raining continuously. Maybe it will also rain on Christmas day," Deny said sadly.

"Nothing's wrong with rain on Christmas day," after all, there was nothing special on Christmas Day for Anya.

Anya stepped forward and took her father's hand to help him sit on the sofa.

"Aren't you busy today?" Deny took the oranges that were on the table and peeled them for Anya. "These have lots of vitamin C, they can beautify your child's skin later."

Anya accepted it with a smile. "Raka said that you visited Natali in a mental hospital. Natali agreed to donate her kidney, but Mrs. Mona refused. Today I met Mrs. Mona and she has given her consent."

"Mona agreed?" Deny asked in surprise.

"Mrs. Mona needs money to buy her boyfriend a new car. I promised her 1 billion after surgery. You must pay for it. I don't have that kind of money," Anya explained the situation briefly.

"I will pay her, but I will not give her the money. She wants to sell her daughter's kidney to support her lover? How shameless!" Deny groaned angrily.

"Father, have you ever regretted it?" Anya asked in a low voice.

"What do you mean?" Deny looked at his daughter.

"Leaving me and mom for Mrs. Mona. But she even divorced you when you were in need. After that, she still gave you a hard time and didn't allow Natali to donate her kidney. That woman... what did you see in her that you preferred her than mom?" Anya asked.

Deny immediately looked sad when he heard Anya's question.

Did he regret it? Of course he regretted it a lot.

"I'm sorry that my heart was not wise enough that time. If only I could accept your mother's past and Galih, I would not divorce your mother and experience all this. But everything that has happened, happened. And now I can only accept punishment from God. If you are willing to give me one more chance, I will take care of you and your mother wholeheartedly,"

"Mother is going abroad for treatment. Once back, you can talk to her. Even though mom and you can't get back together, I hope you can be friends and have a good relationship. Mother doesn't know how to take care of herself. During that time, my grandmother and I always accompanied her. I always felt uneasy when I had to leave my mother alone," traces of sadness flashed in Anya's eyes.

"Where are you going?" Deny immediately asked.

"After the divorce, I will go to the Perfume Academy in France," Anya replied.

"Don't be so reckless. I will meet Aiden today," Deny said.

Anya just shook her head weakly. "You must also take care of your health. When I go abroad, visit my mom often. Mother knew how to care for flowers and plants, but she couldn't take care of her own health. Since she lost her sense of smell, she often ate stale and poisoned food,"

"I promise to take care of your mother," Deny nodded with a serious expression.

"Raka will arrange your operation schedule as soon as possible. One day, if Raka wants to end his engagement with Natali, I hope you don't blame him," Anya said.

Deny was a rational person. Since his company went bankrupt and he fell sick, he had realized many things.

"This is all Natali's fault. If only she hadn't kidnapped you at her engagement party, she might have become the Mahendra Family's daughter-in-law by now. But she even harmed her own sister on her happy day and blamed it on others. After that, she still didn't stop and tried to harm the child in your womb. She deserves this punishment. I won't blame Raka if he wants to leave Natali," Deny said calmly.

"You also knew Raka from childhood. Raka is a good man. Even if their engagement ends, Raka won't just abandon you two. He will help you when you're in need," Anya said.

"Anya, why are you telling all this to me? Do you intend to leave and never come back again?" Deny looked at Anya's face reluctantly. He really regretted his actions and wanted to make up for all his mistakes. He wanted to make Anya happy.

But it didn't seem like he had that opportunity.

"I'll probably go to France in two or three years. So…"

"That long?" Deny felt his heart empty. His daughter suddenly wanted to leave when he'd just realized his mistakes. He was really reluctant.

"Mother still lives in Indonesia. So I will definitely come back," Anya said with a smile.

"You don't need to worry. I will help you to take care of your mother," Deny knew that Anya would not be able to calm down if she was away from Diana. Instead of asking Galih, Anya came to him and asked him to look after her mother. This made Deny very happy.

After chatting for a while with her father, Anya was about to return to Iris. She got up and said, "I'm going to go home first. Rest well, dad."

"Anya..." Deny stopped her.

"What's wrong?" Anya stopped and looked at her father.

"I know Aiden has helped a lot. But when he changed his mind, he also turned into a very cruel person. I don't want you to be stubborn and hurt yourself. About the child in your belly, I suggest you abort it," Deny said with a look full of worry.

Anya could feel her body trembling and couldn't stand up straight.

"Anya!" Deny exclaimed as he hurried over to her.

Anya's hand immediately grabbed the sofa to support herself and then she said each word with emphasis, "Why did you suggest that I shouldn't give birth to this child?"

"You are still too young and your future will be hindered by that child. Even if the child is born, the Atmajaya Family won't let you take them. Do you have the heart to let your child be raised by another woman? If you can't give the child a happy life, at least don't make it difficult for them. If you insist on giving birth, that is the same as being irresponsible," Deny said.

From a father's point of view, Deny suggested that his daughter terminate the pregnancy.

Anya knew that her father was right, but she didn't want to lose this baby.

This was her first child with Aiden, and may be the last. They would never meet again someday.

Although their marriage was short, she was truly happy. She could feel the joy of being loved and pampered by Aiden.

Those happy memories alone were enough for Anya.

She wanted to give birth to this child. Even though she would end up alone without Aiden, at least she still had this child.

"I will persuade Aiden to give up this child to me," Anya whispered.

"If Aiden doesn't agree and you also insist, I'm afraid they'll hurt you. I know the dark side of a respectable family like them. I just don't want you to get hurt," Deny said, looking sincerely at Anya.
