Chapter 548 - Stomachache

"What?" Anya was shocked and looked around. "Are we lost in the middle of the forest?"

"The signal's not good here and I don't know how far we've got out of the way," Aiden picked up his cell phone, but no network service could reach it.

Anya immediately took out her cell phone from her bag. Sure enough, hers also couldn't get a network at all.

"Aiden, aren't you a smart guy? How can you not realize that the gas is running out? And how can you go the wrong way?" Anya asked in panic.

"I'm in a bad mood," Aiden said.

'….' Anya immediately stopped grumbling because of Aiden's words. Did that mean this was her fault?

She had made Aiden's mood worse, so the man drove really fast and took the wrong path. Now they were trapped in the middle of the wilderness without being able to get out.

Was this all her fault?

"What should we do now?" Anya asked in a weak voice.

"Waiting for help," Aiden leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

"How will people find us if we're stuck here? We can't even use our phones, do you realize that?" Anya asked anxiously.

"If we're stuck and no one can reach me, Harris will know how to find me. Be patient," Aiden looked very calm.

However, Anya was not as sure as Aiden. She didn't doubt Harris's abilities, but now they were trapped in a place without a signal. How could Harris find them?"

"My stomach hurts. I need to go to the toilet." Last night, Anya ate a large portion of Padang rice and now her stomach kept rebelling.

Aiden looked at the grass outside the window and gave water and tissue to Anya. "Get over there."

"I... I'm afraid to be alone," Anya did not dare to go outside alone. What if she got lost and separated from Aiden?

"Do you still want to eat Padang food again?" Aiden threatened.

"Of course," Anya answered seriously. Even if she had a stomachache, how could she live without eating one of her favorite foods?

Aiden snorted coldly, "Go on your own! Or hold it until help arrives!"

"My stomach really hurts," Anya held her stomach and her lips looked pale.

"Let me ask you again, do you still want to eat Padang food?" Aiden asked again.

"If I answered no, it would be a lie! Give me another choice. I can't live without Padang food!" Anya shouted irritably.

Aiden thought for a moment and then found another choice for her, "Call me your husband."

"How could you even think of that now?" Anya didn't have the energy to argue anymore.

At the same time, the sound of a helicopter could be heard from above. Harris sent it to pick them up.

Aiden looked at Anya, "The helicopter came to pick me up."

"Then, will you leave me if I don't obey your request?" Anya asked.

"Hmm…" Aiden opened his car's door and got out.

Anya could only bite her lip in panic and decided to obey Aiden. After all, calling Aiden 'my husband' wouldn't cost her anything.

"My husband, my husband, my husband…!" She did not want to be left alone in this place. Unlike Aiden, the man had Harris everytime he needed him, but if she were left alone there, she would never be able to go home.

She could see that Aiden was in such a bad mood that they were trapped like this.

Maybe, the man would really leave her alone because he was so annoyed with her...

In the past, Aiden had left her in the middle of the road because he was angry.

"What did you say? The helicopter's sound is too loud. I can't hear you," Aiden said on purpose.

Anya opened her car's door and went after Aiden. "My husband, my husband, my husband…"

The man nodded with satisfaction.

A ladder made of rope was lowered from the helicopter and a bodyguard wearing an all-black suit descended while carrying a jerry can of gasoline. Apart from that, he was carrying something else on his back.

"He's filling up the gas here?" Anya asked.

"No. I'm going up," Aiden shouted.

"Do I have to climb that ladder too?" Anya saw the hanging ladder and felt that there was no way she could go up on her own.

At that moment, Aiden's bodyguard handed him a net draped over his back. "Sir, assistant Harris asked me to bring this net so you can help Madame," the guard said as he put down the jerry can he was carrying.

Aiden looked around him. They were in the middle of the forest and the helicopter couldn't land. Aiden could have climbed the ladder easily, but Anya was scared and she also had a stomachache.

In addition, Anya was slim enough for Aiden to easily lift her.

"Do you want to climb? Or should I lift you up with the net?" Aiden asked.

Anya looked at the stairs which kept on rocking. Even though the helicopter had tried to get down as low as possible, she still could not go up by herself.

"Please help me," Anya said fearfully.

Aiden smiled and began to slowly climb the stairs while helping Anya. He was happy that Anya wanted to depend on him.

When they were about to get to the top, Aiden felt a sharp pain in his head. He went upstairs without being able to pull Anya again. Meanwhile, their helicopter was getting higher and higher.

Anya felt even more scared when she saw herself flying further away from the ground.

She was afraid that the rope would break and she would die.

"Aiden, what are you doing! Hurry up and pull me!" Anya shouted frantically.

Previously, she had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet. But now she forgot the pain and felt her body break out in a cold sweat. She didn't want to fall and die!

Aiden sat in his chair and closed his eyes. Meanwhile, the pilot did not dare to ask why the man did not immediately pull Anya up to the seat.

"Aiden, can you hear me? The wind is blowing hard and I'm cold!" Anya shouted once again.

Even though the rotor was spinning loudly, Aiden could still hear Anya's voice.

"Call me husband," Aiden replied loudly. He wouldn't lift her unless Anya did what he asked her.

"I can't hear you!" Anya could only hear the sound of the wind whirling in her ear.

She couldn't hear anything. Her ears buzzed, either because of the loud sound of the rotors, or because she was scared to death.

After closing his eyes for a while, Aiden pulled Anya back.

Aiden did not immediately help Anya to let go of the net after arriving at the top, making Anya even more upset.

She kicked Aiden in the leg hard and yelled, "Help me out!"

"Is that how you ask for help?" Aiden pulled his leg.

"Why do you have to treat me like this? I was really scared to death! Where did I go wrong to make you punish me like this?" Anya shouted loudly.

"Do you really not know your mistake?" Aiden's anger returned. He still couldn't forget Anya's words this morning and now she still asked where she went wrong?

Anya was stunned for a moment and recalled their conversation at the hotel this morning.

…

"Last night, I was drunk and unconscious. Let's just forget about what happened. Let's just say nothing happened."

"Anya, after two years abroad, don't you think you're being too open minded?"

"Yes, true. Do you think I haven't been looking for a new guy in the last two years? I have many lovers. Many…"

"I've never been with any woman so far. There is no other woman besides you in my heart."

…

Didn't she think that Aiden was still angry about the incident this morning? Was it because Anya said she had many lovers when she was abroad?

They were both adults and they could take responsibility for their own actions.

Anya only hoped that after returning to the city, she could forget everything that happened that night so that she wouldn't be embarrassed when she met Aiden again.

They were ex husband and wife, but then they made love again after the divorce. And they would also see each other often at a later date.

That's why Anya wanted to forget their night.

Anya was just babbling nonsense when she said that she had many lovers, but she didn't expect Aiden to take her seriously.

Aiden clenched his fists tightly and then said to the pilot. "Take me to the island and pick me up in three days."
