Chapter 469 - A Father's Warmth

Aiden wanted to kill their child. And he said it so easily, without the slightest hesitation. Anya could feel her heart constantly breaking, sinking into the bottomless pit.

"I want nothing but this child. Even if you don't want it, you can let this kid live with me. How can you demand me to abort it?" Anya shouted.

Aiden continued to wipe Anya's face with a warm towel, but the towel was not enough to warm Anya's heart.

The more he did, the heavier the tears would be.

"Anya, obey me," Aiden said. "If you want to have children, you can have another child next time. Find a guy you love and loves you back. You can have children with him and live happily as you wish. I'm sorry, I can't bring you happiness. But don't give up to get your happiness."

"I could never be happy without you," Anya stretched out her hand and leaned her head on Aiden's body.

She was tired. She was really tired…

Aiden's body stiffened. He wanted to reach out his hand to stroke Anya's head, but he was afraid he would lose control.

Anya didn't want to divorce. She only agreed because she wanted to meet Aiden in person and tell him what she was thinking.

She knew very well that everything she did would melt Aiden's heart.

But this time, Aiden couldn't give Anya what she wanted.

Aiden pushed Anya's body away from him. "If you think acting weak like this will change my decision, you are only dreaming. I've signed the divorce papers. If there's anything else you want, just say it. I will give it to you,"

When he opened the bathroom's door and wanted to go out, Anya suddenly said, "I want you to accompany me one night,"

Aiden sneered at that. "Isn't that ridiculous. You want me to accompany you?"

"Do you dare to do it?" Anya asked.

"I'm tired of you. I'm not interested," Aiden slammed the bathroom's door and left.

He didn't dare. He did not dare to grant Anya's request.

He was afraid of losing control over himself, over his feelings.

Anya could only sit in the bathroom for a long time. When she came out of the bathroom, Aiden was already gone. He left the divorce papers on the nightstand.

Hana wanted to serve delicious food and hoped they could make up over dinner. But Anya didn't even want to come down and Aiden left the house with a gloomy face.

…

Around eight in the evening, Deny's car stopped in front of Anya's house.

When he saw the news on the internet, Deny was worried about Anya's condition. He could not visit Anya's house during the day for fear of reporters following him so he decided to come at night.

Seeing Deny coming, Hana immediately greeted him. "Mr. Deny, please sit down. I will call Anya. She hasn't had dinner yet,"

Deny just nodded.

When Deny was still healthy, he never appreciated Anya's existence. He never realized how much his daughter loved him.

Now, Mona had shown her true face. Natali was in a mental hospital. Meanwhile, Deny's health got worse.

All of this incident opened Deny's eyes and made him realize how important a family was.

When she heard about her father's arrival, Anya was forced to come down to meet him.

Deny could see that her daughter's eyes were red and swollen. He knew for sure Anya had been crying all day, but he didn't ask.

"I ran away from the hospital and haven't had dinner. Do you want to accompany me to eat?" Deny asked on purpose when he knew that Anya had not had dinner.

"Your health is still not good. Why did you run away from the hospital?" Anya stepped forward and adjusted the red scarf around Deny's neck. "Isn't it cold outside?"

"Not really. It only rained lightly earlier, and I'm getting bored. There is not much that can be done in the hospital. When I sit by the window and watch the rain, I remember when you were a child. You really liked rain a lot. Your mother made a red scarf for you so you don't get cold," Deny recalled Anya's childhood with a smile.

"Hmm..." Finally, Anya showed a faint smile on her face. "Thank you for visiting me, father."

"For 20 years, I couldn't be a good father to you. Mona pampers Natali and ignores you. I want to use the rest of my life to make up for it all. Today, I visited you and tomorrow I will visit Natali," Deny said.

Hana immediately brought warm soup and porridge to the dining table, and provided several light dishes.

"Anya, Mr. Deny hasn't eaten yet. Eat together with him," Hana said.

"Father is still not very well. Please eat, I will accompany you," Anya held Deny's arm and helped him to get up from the sofa.

Deny was not her real father, but Anya decided to forget all her hatred and accept Deny's sincerity to correct all his mistakes.

The two of them sat at the dining table, eating quietly and not talking too much.

Every now and then, they'd just talk about the weather, about the trivial things that happened every day.

After dinner, it was nine o'clock in the evening. "Dad has to go back to the hospital. Take care of yourself,"

"Father, what can I do for you? Why did you come today?" Anya asked.

"Anya, I don't know how I can redeem myself for everything I've done to you. I know I'm really useless, making you treated unfairly like this," Deny said regretfully. "I've seen the news on the internet. Aiden and Keara are back together."

"Don't think like that. It's not your fault," Anya smiled faintly, but Deny could see that her daughter had lost her shine.

Anya was not the cheerful daughter she used to be.

Was it too late to save her?

"If my company didn't go bankrupt, you and Aiden wouldn't be like this. Aiden wouldn't dare to look down on you like this. Don't torture yourself anymore. If Aiden wants to separate from you, you can go back with me. I will take care of you for life." Now, Deny's company went bankrupt and the Tedjasukmana Family had nothing.

Mona did not want to shoulder the debt so she immediately divorced Deny. She didn't know that Deny actually had a secret savings.

When she heard her father's words, joyful tears rolled down Anya's face and a slight smile crossed her lips. "I'm an adult and I can fend for myself. I won't allow myself to be humiliated like this. Save your money and use it for yourself, dad. There's no need to worry about me,"

Deny could only nod in resignation. "Well, I'm going back now. Take care of yourself. Don't be afraid of anything. You still have a father," he stroked Anya's head gently.

Anya felt her eyes were hot. This was the first time she felt the warmth of a father. Ironically, she felt it after knowing that the man in front of her was not her real father…

"Dad…"

"Daddy will always be there for you," Deny's eyes also filled with tears.

Deny only had two children and Natali was completely devastated. He did not expect that Anya, who originally lived a happy life, suddenly suffered like this. He was really depressed about it and blamed himself.

All of this was a punishment from God for all his actions.

"I'll take you to the car," Anya helped Deny to walk toward the door. She accompanied him to the car and waited for his father's car to disappear from view, while still standing in the same place.

…

The next morning, Raka called Anya, saying that Natali had agreed to donate her kidney. However, it was Mona who opposed it.

Natali was admitted to a mental hospital and was declared a mental patient so that she could be freed from prison.

Due to her mental state, she needed a guardian's approval to donate her kidney and Mona did not agree.

"What does Mrs. Mona want?" Anya didn't want to take care of the matters of the Tedjasukmana Family. But Deny's arrival yesterday really touched her heart.

Deny had regretted all his actions and wanted to make amends.

She didn't mind persuading Mona for her father's sake.

"Aunt Mona wants to meet you in person," Raka said from the phone. "Anya, there is no need to meet that woman."
