Chapter 740 - Agnes Is Not Agnes

"Madame, what are you doing?" Aiden's bodyguard exclaimed when Anya came down from her hiding place.

"Aiden is coming! I can hear the sound of his footsteps," Anya said as she ran down the road.

The guards rushed after her. "Madame, don't go there. What if you're wrong?"

"I can't be wrong. It really is Aiden!" Anya said with confidence. "Aiden came to get me!"

Aiden, with several of his bodyguards, found Anya running down the path they were on with a relieved smile.

"Anya…!" Aiden shouted.

"I know you will definitely save me. I heard your footsteps. I know you are coming!" Anya's eyes turn red.

But at that time, Aiden suddenly took out his gun and pointed it at Anya.

Before Anya could react, Aiden had already shot her way.

When the bullet shot towards her, Anya could only be silent, unable to do anything about it.

Aiden's bodyguard moved even faster. Seeing the man shooting, he immediately grabbed Anya's body and they fell on the grass.

The bullet passed through Anya's hair as her body fell to the ground.

Aiden's bodyguard immediately protected her and tried to cover her up from what happened. But Anya could see that there was a man with a cut on his face kneeling on the ground wide-eyed.

A second later, he collapsed and fell to the ground.

The man has a knife in his hand. If only Aiden had not shot in time, he might have injured Anya.

"Anya, are you hurt?" Aiden immediately ran over to Anya and hugged her.

"I… I was really scared. My legs feel weak," said Anya. "Next time if you want to do something, can you warn me first? I thought you wanted to kill me!"

"How could I kill you, you stupid girl!" Aiden immediately picked her up and hugged her tightly.

His men immediately caught the people who were chasing Anya before. After that, they led them onto the road ahead, towards the Pratama Group's garden.

Anya has been scared to death these past few days. She was kidnapped and locked up in the mountains for several days, unable to sleep and eat well. She's so scared!

Once in Aiden's arms, Anya immediately felt safe. All the energy she had drained in the past few days made her unable to hold out any longer. Then she fell asleep in Aiden's arms.

"Are you alright?" Aiden asked the bodyguard who went with Anya in the last few days.

The man nodded and said, "Thank you for your attention, sir. All of this happened because I was negligent in my duties and couldn't protect Madam. I accept any punishment from you," 

Aiden's face was serious. He was really angry about this incident.

He had arranged two bodyguards to look after Anya, but one of them died and the other was injured.

However, Aiden did not want to take it further because now Anya was safe in his arms.

"You got her back safely. Just think of it as a payback. I'll give you time to rest and recover later," said Aiden.

"We were able to run away because we were helped by that woman and her child. We wouldn't have survived without their help." When the guard looked back, he found that the woman was walking in the opposite direction while carrying her child.

Aiden hugged Anya and continued walking without looking back, but he ordered his bodyguard, "Give all the money and food we bring to the woman and her child. Tell her that Reza has been caught and that her son and her are safe."

When Anya woke up, she had returned to her father's garden. She opened her eyes and found her mother sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her.

"Mother, why are you looking at me like that? I'm fine," Anya smiled and held her mother's hand. "How are you?"

"Just ordinary pneumonia. This is not a serious illness. But you look thin," Indah stroked Anya's cheek with a sad face.

Anya got up from her bed and walked to the balcony. Her eyes looked at the garden in the distance. "Everything is alright."

"The workers have started replanting the spices. Today, we'll cultivate it. This isn't supposed to affect the harvest later," Indah said with a smile. "You can bring Arka and Aksa here during harvest and tell them that you saved this garden."

Anya laughed, but tears pooled in her eyes.

Not only did the garden survive, but her soul as well. She felt completely liberated now.

Indah took her daughter's hand and said, "Come on. It's cool here. Don't let yourself catch the flu!"

"Mother, I'm hungry. I am very hungry!" Anya said while stroking her flat stomach.

"There is chicken porridge for you," Indah pulled her onto the bed for her daughter to sit down. After that, she opened the lunch box beside the table. "Aiden already ordered it because he was afraid you would be hungry when you wake up."

"Where's Aiden now?" Anya asked.

"The person who kidnapped you has been caught by the police. Aiden is working on it. Anya, can you tell me what really happened?" Indah asked.

Anya tells everything that happened to her mother, from the first time she arrived at the garden.

Indah tried to listen to her carefully, but seemingly lost in her thoughts. "That means, ever since arriving in this city, Agnes was only hiding in the hotel and didn't come to the garden at all? She didn't appear until before that incident?"

"Yes. When Agnes and I left the garden, we used the lifeboat she brought with us. I didn't expect we'd be attacked. At first, I thought the lifeboat that came to us was a rescue team. However, that person wounded Aiden's bodyguard and stabbed Agnes. After that, they threw them into the water," said Anya.

After hearing this, Indah thought for a moment, "According to your story, it is true that Agnes was injured and thrown from the lifeboat. But Aiden said that Agnes kidnapped you."

"Nothing can be hidden from Aiden's eyes. If Aiden said Agnes did it, then it must be true. We better wait for the news," Anya isn't stupid.

What's the point of those people catching her? Even though they could have robbed her and threw her into the water like what happened to Agnes, why didn't they?

She lived in this city for several months and never experienced anything. Why was she suddenly kidnapped, just as Agnes arrived?

If those people wanted to rob her, what was the point of kidnapping her?

No matter what, they dared to kidnap her from Aiden. Of course Aiden wouldn't forgive them!

"I hope this has nothing to do with Agnes. If not, dad will definitely be disappointed too," Anya sighed deeply.

Indah looked at her daughter with a complicated gaze. "Anya, I've been thinking about this for a few days."

"What's wrong, mom?" Anya was very hungry and ate the chicken porridge quickly.

"Agnes may not be Agnes," Indah said doubtfully.

"If not Agnes, then who is she?" Anya didn't understand what Indah meant.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the floor below. Anya knew that her husband was back.

She headed straight for the stairs and looked at Aiden with a smile. After the man got close enough to her, she immediately threw her body into Aiden's arms and hugged his waist tightly.

Aiden returned the hug with one hand, while the other was still behind his back. He asked softly, "Have you eaten the porridge?"

Anya nods.

"This is for you," Aiden showed what he was hiding behind his back. It was Anya's favorite satay.

"Satay!" Anya's eyes sparkle. She let go of her hug quickly and took it from him.

Aiden laughed seeing Anya leaving him just for satay. But seeing her eating well, he was quite satisfied. "This is the city's signature satay. Is it good?"

"Very good!" Anya felt so happy when she devoured it. "Did you go see Agnes?" She asked.
