Chapter 594 - Giving Up

"He deserved it. How dare he want to trap the Atmajaya siblings? He also wanted to trap my daughter and almost ruin her reputation. Fortunately, Ivan…"

"Fortunately what? Ivan had absolutely no intention of competing with Aiden. Raisa won't even get as much as Doctor Tirta's granddaughter. Nico is the eldest grandson of the Atmajaya Family. Ardan and Maria's shares also belong to him. He's the second biggest shareholder of the Atmajaya Group, just right behind Aiden. What's the point of being happy now?" Rian glared at Irena.

Finally, Raka stopped listening and said, "Dad, don't say that. If Raisa married Nico, she wouldn't be able to control him. On the other hand, we have known Brother ivan since he was a child. He is a kind and gentle man."

"Raisa is looking for a husband, but she finds a weakling like Ivan instead," Rian was still dissatisfied with Ivan.

"I also think that Ivan is a good fit for Raisa. I saw him grow from when he was a kid. He is good, unlike his mother. If Raisa married him, I'm sure she wouldn't suffer," Irena agreed.

"Is the food not ready yet?" Rian said in a cold voice when his entire family didn't agree with him.

"I also like Brother Ivan. If I married Nico, I would fight with him every day," Raisa added.

"You..." Rian finally gave up on his daughter and then turned his gaze to Raka. "Raka, your engagement to Natali is over. Now is the perfect time to talk about you."

"I've made sacrifices and obeyed your decision when I got engaged to Natali. After this, let me find my partner by myself," Raka said as he left the place.

"Raka, you have to stay and eat," Irena tried to stop him.

"You guys eat first. I am tired. I want to take a bath." 

Every time his father tried to bring up the matter with his marriage and forced him to marry soon, Raka became more and more disgusted.

He thought it was better to hide...

...

Compared to the Mahendra fairly harmonious family, the Pratama Family was in a big mess.

As soon as he entered the room, Galih immediately shouted. "Where's Keara?"

"Why are you screaming so loudly? Keara is in her room," Indah approached him and took Galih's coat, then gave it to one of the servants.

"Our hotel was closed and your brother was suddenly taken by the police," Galih said with a grim face.

Indah was surprised and asked, "Is this because of what happened to Nadine and Nico?"

"Just try asking your daughter!" Galih glared at Keara who was standing on the stairs.

But the young woman's face was calm. "Father, I'm also worried about uncle. But I don't know what happened."

"You sure you don't know anything?" Galih looked at Keara with disappointment. The daughter he had been spoiling since childhood had changed.

She was no longer like his old daughter…

"Dad, I know you are not happy with me. Our family has been bearing the shame that I got pregnant out of wedlock, but this child is innocent," Keara pretended to be sad.

"Your mother's health is not good. The faster the surgery is carried out, the safer it will be for her. But you postponed the operation and now you are pregnant. Even though it wasn't your mother who gave birth to you, she has been raising you for over 20 years. Why are you this cruel? Toni treats you much better than his own daughter. What were you two doing together?" Galih exposed all of Keara's rotten behavior without mercy.

Keara could hear the sound of her heart beating so loudly. She didn't expect her father to know what had happened so quickly.

But as long as no one blurted her name, the police would not be able to arrest her.

Her uncle would take all the blame alone and prove her innocence.

Keara hugged Indah's arm and looked sadly at her father. "Dad, my health was not good enough before this and I was recovering. I also think about mom because I don't want something to happen during the surgery when I'm not feeling well. But I didn't think I would get pregnant. Why did you immediately look at me as if I'm a disobedient kid?"

She took a deep breath then added, "Fine then, I'm going to the hospital tomorrow. I'll abort the child and schedule a surgery for mom."

Hearing this, Indah immediately stopped her. "Don't abort your child. I'm fine. You can give birth to this child. Even though the Atmajaya Family doesn't want to accept that child, we will take care and raise your child by ourselves."

"Mother, I really didn't have any intention to delay the surgery," Keara's eyes turned red.

Indah patted her daughter's hand gently. "I can't find your sister. You are my only child and I am your mother. We depend on each other. How could my daughter even think of stalling the time and not wanting to save me? Just don't take your father's words to heart… "

"If you really care about your mother, go to the hospital tomorrow and have your pregnancy aborted. Our family does not want that child! You'll bring nothing to our family after giving birth to that child except shame and disgrace!" Galih said sharply.

"Don't talk like that. Aiden couldn't forget Anya, and so he impregnated Keara. All of this is the fault of the Atmajaya Family," Indah replied angrily.

"Indah, don't you know? Your daughter…" Galih wanted to let out the words, but he swallowed again. Keara deliberately ran an artificial insemination program because he didn't want to donate her liver to her mother. She even used Aiden's name to escape this situation.

If Indah found out the truth, she would be very disappointed.

She had lost her biological daughter once. After decades of searching, she could only find her child's ashes.

Meanwhile, Keara, who she raised like her own daughter, turned out to be a cunning wolf. If Indah found out about this, she would be very hurt.

It didn't matter how much time she had left, or if she could receive a surgery soon. She didn't care whether she got better or not.

All she wanted was to find her daughter.

But after she found out that her daughter was gone, she gave up and no longer hoped to recover.

Over the years, her whole family always demanded sacrifice from her, but no one cared about her, or her feelings.

When she found out that Keara was pregnant, it seemed like she had found new hope. How could she force her to abort her child?

"Don't be angry. I will go home and visit my brother-in-law tomorrow," Indah said calmly.

The Srijaya Family was doing well when it was still led by her father. But after her father left it with Tony as the head of the family, things got worse.

Now that Jonathan was returning to Indonesia, a new hope for the Srijaya Family seemed about to rise again.

But Toni's own ignorance made the family fall into trouble and got arrested for it.

Indah had sacrificed too much for the Srijaya Family. She did not want to be a fool who was constantly being used.

When she learned that Toni was arrested, she didn't want her husband to go to any lengths to save his ungrateful brother. She did not want to let the problem within the Srijaya Family affect her happy family.

As for Keara, if she was willing to donate her liver, Indah might be able to survive a few more years. But what's the point of living a few more years?

Indah had lost her purpose in life.

She would not blame Keara if her daughter wanted to keep the child in her womb.

After all, Indah had given up on her life when she found out that her real daughter was dead.
