Anya nodded at Ivan's words. "Did the doctor say when Aiden will wake up?" She asked in a low voice.

"Anya, don't worry too much. The important thing is that the operation is running smoothly," Maria said, comforting her.

​​

"I want to wait for Aiden here," Anya muttered, holding Aiden's hand which was still laid motionless.

"But you are pregnant now. You also have to think about your child. If Aiden wakes up, I'll tell you right away," said Maria.

Everyone was worried for Anya. They all didn't want anything to happen to her because she was too worried about Aiden.

"Anya, listen to Sister Maria's words. You better rest now," said Ivan.

Anya didn't want to go from there. But she knew that her current health was also not very good. She had to take better care of herself for the sake of the child in his womb.

Anya raised Aiden's big hand and placed it on her cheek. "Aiden, I'm going back to my room to rest. We are fine. Hurry up and wake up," Anya whispered.

The warmth from Aiden's hand made her feel a little calmer.

The hand was not as cold as before. Her husband's hand felt warm…

"Did Natali really do all this on her own? Who told her to harm auntie?" Nico asked.

"Natali has lost her mind, so her words cannot be trusted anymore. She said the Mahendra family got her out of the mental hospital. Her mother is also still in prison. After she left the mental hospital, her father took care of her," said Ivan.

"Father will never give a gun to her. He wouldn't want his daughter to hurt other people," Anya said in a low voice. "We have to quickly find out who told Natali to do this."

"Who else did it besides Keara? Isn't she the only person who hates you so much here?" Tara exclaimed.

"Aiden is injured and Anya is pregnant. We have to ensure the safety of the three of them," said Maria.

"Sis, don't worry. I'm in direct contact with all of Aiden's doctors and nurses. I also ordered the director of the gynecologist to ensure Anya's safety and put some bodyguards in this hospital. No person can enter arbitrarily in Aiden's or Anya's room," said Ivan.

"I entrust everything to you," Maria replied. "Anya, let's go back to your room immediately. I have to go home soon," she couldn't stay there because she didn't tell Bima about today's incident.

"Mother, if Grandpa asks about the competition…"

"I will tell him that Anya has won the competition. I will also tell him about Anya's pregnancy so that he will have the spirit to get well soon for his future grandchildren," Maria said calmly. After that, she said goodbye to Aiden. "Aiden, get well soon. Don't worry, we will all take good care of Anya."

"Mother, let me take you," Nico invited Tara to take Maria to the car.

Harris and Nadine then helped Anya to return to her room. Finally, only Ivan was alone in Aiden's room.

When he arrived at the hospital, Raka met Nico as he was escorting Maria downstairs. After that, they went up together.

In the elevator, Raka anxiously asked, "I was watching the live broadcast on television, but the live suddenly stopped. How is your uncle now?"

"Uncle was shot in the stomach. He has returned to the room after undergoing surgery. Was it you who got Natali out of the mental hospital?" Nico looked at his friend's face suspiciously.

"Nico, why are you looking at me like that? Do you suspect that I ordered Natali to harm your uncle?" Raka said.

"Are the Tedjasukmana Family willing to cancel your engagement with Natali on the condition that you can get her out of the mental hospital?"

"Right," Raka nodded.

"Maybe she came to take revenge on my aunt after leaving the mental hospital and knowing that you broke the engagement with her. How did she get an invitation to the perfume competition? And where did she get the gun from?" Nico asked, looking so confused.

"To possess a gun itself is against the law. Try to find out where the gun came from and the number of invitations in the event. There must be a record of the guests. Then, find out who Natali contacted after she left the mental hospital," Raka suggested calmly.

"Uncle Ivan already investigated it," Nico replied, after which their elevator opened. He then immediately escorted Raka to Aiden's room.

Ivan sat in the room with a serious expression. He didn't say anything, just waiting for Aiden to wake up from his sleep.

"Brother..." Raka greeted Ivan as soon as he entered the room.

"Raka..." Ivan got up to greet him.

"When will Aiden wake up? Is he alright?" Raka saw Aiden lying on the bed in silence. He looked even colder with his expressionless face...

"The anesthesia should wear off now," Ivan felt even more anxious when he realized that Aiden showed absolutely no sign of waking up.

"I'll find the doctor again," Nico immediately came out to find a doctor who treated Aiden.

Raka looked around the room, but he didn't find Anya there. "Is Anya okay?"

"Anya is pregnant. She was very scared earlier and not in a good condition. She is resting in her room now," Ivan replied.

"Two years ago, Aiden hurt her a lot. I blamed him and hated him because he didn't love Anya with all his heart. But today, I just found out how much love he has for Anya. In order to protect her, he was even willing to block the bullet with his body. He really loves Anya..." Raka muttered in a low voice. "Aiden, don't sleep too long. Anya is waiting for you."

Even though Maria managed to hide about Aiden's condition from Bima, it didn't mean that the news wouldn't leak out. That's why Maria rushed back to the hospital for fear that Bima would find out about this from the media.

Time flew. The effects of the sedatives given to Aiden should be over, but the man still showed no signs of waking up.

Anya's waiting was fruitless.

Unlike what everyone around her said, Aiden didn't wake up.

Everyone said that Aiden was fine.

They said that Aiden would come back to her and their child.

But in reality, Aiden still hadn't regained consciousness...

Anya repeatedly left her room because she wanted to check on Aiden's condition, so in the end, Ivan asked the hospital to move her bed beside Aiden.

Being next to Aiden made Anya feel much calmer.

Although Aiden was still unconscious, at least Anya knew that the man was fine and that she was by his side. She didn't want to leave Aiden alone…

Anya laid back while staring at Aiden's face, looking peaceful and calm.

Her hand gripped Aiden's, trying to make sure that it was still warm.

When she saw Aiden lying on the floor covered in blood, Anya was scared to death. The fear of losing him felt so real

She felt that she had lost Aiden for good…

This kind of déjà vu feeling…

Actually, what was this feeling?

Anya fell asleep with her hand still attached to her husband, not wanting to let him go even if only for a second.

That night, Anya had a dream. A very long dream...
