Aiden's lips that had never moved suddenly muttered a faint voice.

"Harris, shut up. My head hurts," he groaned angrily, feeling that Harris' relentless chatter disturbed his sleep.

​​

Everyone in the room immediately turned around at the same time.

"Uncle, you're up!" Nadine exclaimed happily. Maria covered her lips with tears streaming down her face, she couldn't even speak.

Nico also rushed over to his uncle and asked, "Uncle, do you know who I am?"

"No. Harris, quickly drove this prick away," Aiden replied coldly.

Nico immediately frowned at his uncle. "Uncle, why do you know Harris, but not me?"

He had worked hard as long as his uncle was not in the office, but why was his uncle still cruel to him?

Aiden tried to look around, but the room was so bright. The curtains on the window opened wide, making the room bright without the need for lights. His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes narrowed as he tried to focus his gaze. He had just woken up so that his eyes were still not accustomed to the excessive light.

Seeing Aiden's reaction, Tara immediately understood his reaction. She quickly closed the curtains, leaving only half open to make the room a little dimmer.

When the room was a little darker, Aiden could see his surroundings more clearly. However, he did not find Anya there.

Where as Anya? Was she okay?

Aiden's heart beat faster, making the machine next to him roar loudly.

He was about to stand up but his body was too stiff.

"Where is Anya?" He asked in panic.

Maria immediately restrained Aiden's body so that he laid back on the bed and tried to calm him down. "Aiden, calm down. Anya is fine. She is also in this hospital, but she's asleep now. She had a fever this morning."

But Aiden still couldn't calm down if he hadn't seen Anya okay with his own eyes. Unfortunately, since he had been asleep for too long, he could not wake up on his own without the help of others.

Harris immediately called a doctor to check on Aiden's condition.

The examination was fairly quick. The doctor said that Aiden's condition was fine, but he asked him to stay in the hospital for a few days to monitor his condition. If his health got better, Aiden could return from the hospital immediately.

After knowing that Aiden was awake, Ivan and Bima went straight to the hospital together.

Bima was a little worried before meeting Aiden because he still felt guilty about Imel's problem. In addition, he also agreed to perform the surgery without Aiden's knowledge.

Bima thought Aiden must be very angry because he had done something without his permission, let alone a surgery that was quite risky.

But Bima had no other choice at that time. He did not want his son to remain in a coma and helpless.

Fortunately, Aiden was fine now. If he couldn't see Aiden again, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself.

"Aiden, I'm sorry father for approving the operation without your permission. All of this is my decision, not Ivan's fault," Bima said in a low voice.

When Aiden was still in a coma, Bima held his hand as if begging him not to leave. But at a time like this, he was too embarrassed to do so.

His relationship with Aiden was not that close. This father and son were too awkward to express their love, even though they actually cared about each other.

Ever since Aiden was a child, Bima's relationship with him had been very strained due to their stubbornness. They couldn't be honest with each other and were always tense on each other.

However, upon learning that Aiden was shot and in a coma, Bima was worried about losing him to their misunderstood relationship.

Now, in his old age, the only thing he wanted wasn't power or wealth as before. He just wanted to have a good relationship with his family, especially with his sons.

Aiden looked at his father, not with the usual cold and arrogant look. His gaze looked warm and a little awkward. All of this felt new to him.

Then he turned his gaze towards Ivan. "Brother, thank you. I've been bothering you all this time," Aiden said with a sincere look.

During his absence, it was Ivan who managed the Atmajaya Group for him, and Ivan did not take the opportunity to take over Atmajaya Group.

Although he knew how Ivan's mother was, Aiden knew that his brother and Imel were not the same. Ivan was really sincere, never saw him as a rival and instead cared for him as a brother. He wasn't someone Aiden had thought all along.

Ivan was touched to hear his brother thanking him. Aiden had never been so sincere to him. He felt like he finally got his place in the Atmajaya family, a place that had been difficult for him to reach all this time. "We are brothers. Don't say it like that."

"Now, can I see Anya?" Aiden asked.

Harris asked the doctor for approval first, making sure that Aiden could get out of his room for a while. Although a little worried, the doctor finally allowed because Aiden insisted.

Harris brought a wheelchair for Aiden and pushed him into Anya's room.

In the room, Anya was fast asleep.

Since her body had a slight fever, the doctor gave her a heat-reducing medicine that made her drowsy. That way, she could rest better.

Harris pushed Aiden's wheelchair to the side of Anya's bed, after which he left the two of them alone.

Aiden held Anya's hand gently, feeling very grateful that he managed to protect the person he loved the most.

Anya was fine…

Their child was fine too…

He lowered his head and kissed the back of Anya's hand gently. Unconsciously, his tears dripped on the back of Anya's hand.

Anya felt a movement in her hand and opened her eyes slowly. She blinked repeatedly, trying to get rid of her drowsiness.

When she saw the person holding her hand, she immediately muttered, "Am I dreaming?"

Her hand reached out for Aiden's cheek gently, as if trying to convince herself that the person in front of her was really real. Convincing herself that Aiden was really in front of her…

Tears streamed down her face.

It was tears of relief… Tears of happiness…

"I must be dreaming…" She whispered again.

"You are not dreaming. I'm back," Aiden whispered, resting his head on Anya's hand that touched his cheek. He wanted to let her know that the man in front of her was really real.

Anya changed her position, sitting on the bed while holding out her hands to hold Aiden's face.

Aiden felt so warm, but Anya still couldn't believe all this. Was it true that he was awake? Was Aiden really back?

Tears obscured her view, making it difficult for her to look at her husband's handsome face. The man she had missed so much now came to her.

"Is this really real?"

Aiden couldn't get up from his wheelchair, feeling a little frustrated at not being able to get close to Anya. Now, he could only be content by holding her hand that was resting on his cheek.

"I am back. I'm back for you. And for our child…" All this time, Aiden was known as a cold-hearted man.

He never hesitated to destroy all those who had bad intentions towards him.

He never hesitated to get rid of all those who stood in his way.

In his life, Aiden almost never shed a tear. But Anya had melted his frozen heart and made him feel the warmth.

His cold figure disappeared in front of her.

The current Aiden was just a man who was so scared of losing the woman he loved for the second time.

The current Aiden was someone so scared of losing his baby for the second time.

He was willing to do anything to protect the people he loved the most.

When he saw that Anya and his child were fine, he could not control himself so that tears dripped from his eyelids.

"Thank you for coming back for us," Anya whispered, bringing her face closer to Aiden's. She pressed her forehead to the man's forehead as she continued to shed tears.

It seemed as if thousands of years weren't enough for them to make up for the time they spent apart.

They seemed to want to feel each other's warmth, convincing each other that everything was real. That they had returned together…

'I will always come back to you, Anya. In the next life, I will always find you and return to your side. Because you are a part of my soul…'

Those words were only stored in Aiden's heart.

He was too awkward and embarrassed to say it. But one thing was for sure— he would keep his oath.

To find his one true love, even to the afterlife.

Because Anya was a part of his soul…
