Chapter 737 - Thick Accent

"My mother said Mr. Galih is a good person and likes to help others. After this man wakes up, he will help you get out of here."

Anya was very happy to hear that. She cupped her hands to express her gratitude to the boy because she knew that she could not understand his mother's language.

The woman looks shy. She hurriedly changed the bandages on Aiden's bodyguard wounds and then left.

On the fourth day since Anya's disappearance, Aiden finally met the owner of the opium plantation, Reza. However, the person was evasive and said that he had never seen a woman with such traits.

Aiden promises huge rewards to anyone who manages to find Anya.

Meanwhile, Indah is really worried for her daughter. Every day she keeps crying and insists on visiting the garden to wait for Anya there.

"Galih, I want to go to the garden. If Anya is fine, she will definitely come back there," said Indah.

"Even though the flood has receded, it is still not safe there. Just wait for the news at the hotel," said Galih.

"Anya really cares about that garden. If she can't reach us, maybe she will look for us in the garden," Indah continued to insist.

"Indah... Okay, I'll get someone to take you," Galih knew that he could not persuade his wife anymore and finally decided to comply with her request.

Galih picked Indah by himself and drove her to the garden. After the earthquake, there was also a flood there. But Anya managed to look after the garden so well that the impact was minimal.

The workers had returned to their duties, replanting spices, fertilizing the land and restoring the crops.

Aiden followed Galih for several days and finally found Agnes' hiding place.

At around 10pm, Aiden walked into Agnes' hospital room while the woman was lying on the bed with a pale face.

Agnes felt someone approaching her bed. When she opened her eyes, she saw Aiden standing there.

"Aiden? Is there any news about Anya? " Agnes asked.

"What happened?" Aiden asked coldly. His hands were clenched into fists as he was trying to hold back his anger.

"Someone attacked our lifeboat and they were carrying knives. The people stabbed me in the stomach and threw me in the water. When I was injured, Anya was still in the lifeboat. How are things now?" Agnes asked anxiously.

"Why didn't you tell us such important news? We've been looking everywhere for Anya these past few days…"

"I just woke up tonight. You can ask the doctor if you don't believe it. The hospital has informed my uncle and he will be here soon." 

And Galih arrived just as Agnes said that.

He got out of the elevator and immediately saw Aiden's bodyguard standing in front of the door to Agnes' room. He felt like his heart was being squeezed.

He pretended to be calm and walked toward the room. When he saw Aiden, he took the initiative to greet him. "Aiden, you are here..."

"Father, since when did you find Agnes?" Aiden asked.

"Two days ago. She was injured and dragged by the flood. Her wound was infected and she was unconscious. I'm afraid you will be too reckless and disturb her rest so I didn't tell you. Agnes, tell us what happened then. Anya hasn't been found until now," Galih said calmly.

Without waiting for Agnes' answer, Aiden immediately got up and walked towards the door. "I have other things to do. I'll go first."

After he left, Galih took a deep breath, "How are you?"

"Aiden seems very angry. Does he wish that I am the one who disappeared and Anya safe?" Agnes snorted irritably.

"Anya disappeared and Aiden was very worried. Maybe he just got emotional. Do you remember the characteristics of those who attacked you in that lifeboat?" Galih asked.

"I'm dizzy and I can't remember anything. Uncle, even though I remember, do you think I will tell you?" Agnes laughed loudly.

"You..." Galih was angry until his face turned red. "Don't tell me Anya's disappearance has something to do with you."

"I was hurt too. How could I injure her? You only think about Anya..."

"Shut up and be honest with me. Aiden came to this place today. If you don't want to lose your life again, then you better listen to me. Otherwise, no one and nothing can save you!" Galih shouted.

"I understand," Agnes pursed her lips. Although she was reluctant, she finally complied.

Aiden was in no rush to leave after exiting Agnes' room. He waited in his car and asked his men to check Agnes' wound.

Half an hour later, his bodyguards gave him the information. A janitor said that Agnes had been in the hospital for several days, but she did not come unconscious.

She was completely conscious from the start!

As for the wound on her stomach, no one could confirm it in person because they couldn't see it as it was under her clothes. But several hospital staff noticed that Agnes was walking around in her room when she was free.

Aiden's eyes darkened when he heard that information. That woman's attitude proved his suspicions.

Anya's disappearance must have something to do with Agnes. She pretended to be injured and entered the hospital to divert suspicion.

By claiming to be unconscious, she could tell that she did not know where Anya was.

"Wait here first and bring Agnes to me when no one is watching," said Aiden.

"Yes, sir," the guard replied.

…

It was dawn, but the sun had not yet risen. Aiden's bodyguard returned carrying a large bag. And it contained nothing but a person.

Agnes.

The woman's eyes were covered with a cloth and her mouth was tightly taped. Her hands and feet were tied so that she couldn't move an inch.

Aiden used a voice-changing microphone and his face looked cold as he said, "Miss Agnes, do you think we couldn't find you even though you were hiding in the hospital?"

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?" Agnes looked calm, she didn't cry or scream.

"Why did we kidnap you? You have made it difficult for us! Right now, Aiden Atmajaya is looking for us. Even Galih Pratama was involved. Boss is hiding. My comrades were anxious because they didn't know what to do. This is all because of you!" Aiden shouted.

Agnes felt her heart pounding hard. She was suspicious because the person questioning her used a voice-changing device.

She didn't know who'd caught her.

If these people really had bad intentions on her, that would be very dangerous.

But it was possible that the person in front of her was Aiden and that he wanted to extract some information from her. Then, what should she do?

After careful consideration, Agnes replied, "I don't understand what you mean. Aiden is my brother-in-law. He's looking for my sister. If you know where my sister is, please tell me the place. We will be very grateful to you."

Aiden frowned. He knew Agnes was suspicious of him and refused to tell the truth.

Just as he was about to think about a counterattack, the bodyguard beside him suddenly said, "Hey, damn woman. Don't pretend to be stupid. You ordered us to arrest a woman. But you didn't tell us that the woman is such an important person! Aiden brought a lot of people here and all my comrades will be finished off quick. If you don't solve this problem, I'll let your sister go to Aiden and get the money he offers. Don't blame us if we give your name to him."

Aiden's bodyguard used a very thick local accent, making Agnes realize that this accent was of the residents there.

It looked like she really fell for it. She didn't know what happened or how these people found her.

All of this was beyond her expectations.

Aiden's eyes were fixed on her face and he noticed the changes.
