BXBX NOVEL Chapter 186 - Can You See?
Anya was silent for a moment when she heard this and finally decided to grill the fish. Aside from serving good nutrients for Aiden\'s eyes, she also wanted to help Aiden deal with his psychological problems.
Bima was still sitting in his place. He did not want to come out under the scorching hot sun and enjoy the air conditioning blowing in the room. But he would look out over the garden from time to time.
Nico and Tara were sitting to one side eating and talking.
Aiden sat quietly under a shady tree while still wearing his sunglasses. But the direction of his gaze was always on Anya.
"Dad, what do you want? I\'ll tell Nico to make it for you." Maria said, approaching Bima with a smile.
"Do you think Aiden\'s vision has recovered?" Bima asked seriously.
Maria looked at Aiden while watching him closely. Her eyes were fixed on Aiden. But Bima and Maria couldn\'t see behind the sunglasses. They didn\'t know what Aiden was looking at or what Aiden was thinking.
At that moment, Aiden\'s face was flat and expressionless as if he didn\'t know that Bima and Maria were looking at him. After hearing Anya\'s voice, he turned his head and looked at the sound.
"If Aiden could see, he would have told me." Maria said calmly.
"Are you blaming me too?" Bima took a deep breath.
"I have a conscience too." Maria said nothing more and walked toward the garden.
She had been married to Ardan and been part of the Atmajaya Family for more than 20 years. When her father-in-law was not in a good mood, she would always try to cheer him up.
When her daughter was kidnapped, she swallowed her anger and was encouraged to raise her husband\'s illegitimate daughter without comment.
Aiden\'s father loved no one at all so no one paid attention to him. Only Maria cared about him.
However, Maria did not expect that Aiden would be kidnapped. He even had to sit in a wheelchair for six months.
Aiden would not have ended like this if Bima didn\'t care about his own interests. Unfortunately, in his heart, he was number one. Family relationships, including his own son, were not so important to him that he did not want to spend money to pay the ransom.
There was once a story about the richest man in Hong Kong whose son was kidnapped. The kidnappers wanted one billion in ransom.
The man promised not to call the police and would give the money as long as his son returned safely.
When her son was kidnapped, he decided not to report and pay the ransom. He was afraid that his kidnapper would kill his son so he was willing to pay whatever it cost to get the part of his flesh and blood back.
Supposedly, it was a normal reaction from parents.
But Bima did not hesitate to call the police when Aiden\'s kidnappers demanded a high ransom.
Although he was worried about Aiden, he thought about the whole situation and thought it was the best decision. He felt that he was not guilty of making this decision.
After that incident, the relationship between the father and son became even worse. They weren\'t just like strangers, but like mortal enemies.
If it weren\'t for Anya, Aiden would never have set foot in this house.
Bima looked at Aiden who was wearing black glasses and enjoying the cool air under a shady tree. He said in a low voice, "I\'m not guilty."
Maria walked towards the garden and saw Anya was spraying something on grilled fish.
"Anya, what did you spray? I smell lemon." Maria asked.
"Yes, sis. I sprayed lemon juice so that the fishy smell from the fish disappeared and the fish tasted better." Anya said while turning the fish over and spraying lemon juice again on its back.
Nico was stunned when he saw Anya do it. He did not think there was such a way.
"Auntie, you are great!" He said, raising two thumbs up.
Anya laughed seeing him, "Do you want to learn something from me?"
"Auntie is not good at cooking! Auntie is just a food lover, so she knows this way." Said Nico.
"This kid. Don\'t talk to your aunt like that. Her rank is higher than yours, no matter if she is younger or older." Maria admonished her son.
"No problem, Sis. We used to act like friends, no need to be too polite."
The two fish that Anya grilled started to smoke. A pleasant smell wafted from it and its appearance looked so appetizing.
She took the spice bottle and carefully seasoned the two fish.
Even though there were umbrellas and fans nearby, Anya\'s face was still red from the heat.
"Anya\'s grilled fish is ready to eat. It looks so delicious that it makes my mouth water." Tara came and looked at Anya\'s fish.
"If you want, I\'ll make it for you. I can\'t give this to you!" Anya said shyly.
"How could I dare to steal Aiden\'s fish? He\'s so creepy." Tara curled backwards, holding back her hunger because her fear was so much greater.
"Sis, can you give this fish to Nico\'s grandfather?" Anya put one fish on the plate and gave it to Maria.
"Anya, you made it especially for father?" Maria just realized it.
"Hmm… Aiden doesn\'t really like fish. But he said his father liked grilled fish. So, I made two." Anya replied with a shy smile.
"You are so attentive. Dad just hasn\'t realized your kindness. Over time, he will understand it." Maria held the plate and walked towards Bima\'s place.
After that, Anya brought the other fish for Aiden.
Aiden glanced at the plate Anya was carrying while saying sarcastically, "I feel like mine is much better."
"The fish are grilled together, with the same fire. I grilled both of them. How can there be anything better?" Anya said while glaring angrily at Aiden.
"Still I think it\'s better!" Aiden said, sulking like a child.
"If you don\'t want to, I\'ll give it to Tara. She was almost drooling when she saw this fish." Anya replied, turning around.
Aiden immediately stretched out his hand and stopped Anya, "Feed me."
"You have your own two hands. Why should I feed you?" Anya asked irritably.
"I can not see. What if the fish bone gets stuck in my throat?" Aiden wanted Anya to feed him, not wanting to know whatever the reason.
Remembering that Aiden had been hospitalized because of a fish bone, Anya finally decided to sit down and feed it to Aiden, "Is it good?" She asked, hopefully.
"Not bad. Feed me again." Aiden said happily.
Anya pouted when she heard that. Aiden didn\'t even want to praise her in the slightest, "I am hungry. Can\'t you eat alone?"
"No, I can\'t, I want more." Aiden replied.
Anya could only feed her spoiled husband, sullenly.
Five minutes later, Maria came over to her, "I told dad that Nico made the grilled fish. He liked it and even praised it. Let\'s make it again?"
"Isn\'t Nico grilling fish? Just bring the fish. There is no need to tell Anya to cook." Aiden said.
Maria looked over at the grill and saw two fish with green peppers and green onions on them.
"Aiden, can you see?" Maria asked in surprise.
