BXBX NOVEL Chapter 353 - Don't Hurt Him
"Anya, have you really forgotten everything? Do you still remember what you said when you were little, when you were tired of walking and asked me to carry you?" Ivan asked with a smile.
Anya\'s face was a little awkward at the question.
Anya was her mother\'s favorite daughter and her mother spoiled her so much. Like most little girls, she was spoiled and sassy as a child.
At that time, her mother and Imel were partners. They were best friends, building Amore together.
When they worked, Ivan was the one who accompanied them. Since childhood, she loved Ivan like her own brother. She said that she wanted to marry Ivan when she grew up.
Anya once said, "Brother Ivan, I\'ll marry you when I grow up because you are the best for me,"
Anya once said, "Brother Ivan, mom is so busy that only you can accompany me. I want to grow up fast and become your wife so that I will never be lonely,"
Anya did not think that Ivan would take her chatter seriously when she was a child. Ivan was really waiting for her to grow up.
When she grew up, Anya even said that she had forgotten all of her past.
She was the daughter-in-law of the Atmajaya Family, but she was not married to Ivan. She was married to Aiden instead.
"My memory is not very good. I have forgotten many things," Anya said, smiling faintly.
Ivan stared at Anya with a deep gaze. After Anya and her mother left her father\'s house, Ivan always watched her secretly.
Ivan did not tell her that he was waiting in front of the school gate when Anya was in junior high school, to wait for her to finish the national exam. Seeing the calm smile on Anya\'s face, Ivan knew that Anya finished the test easily.
After that, Anya was accepted into the best high school in the city. Ivan also felt happy even though he had to watch all this from afar.
During high school, Anya even got the best rank in the entire city. After that, she received a scholarship to study Chemistry with the highest ranking.
Ivan watched her all the time, hoping that he could protect Anya even if he had to do it without her knowing.
The only thing he regretted in his life was when he didn\' t realize that Anya was in a relationship with Raka.
At that time, he was heartbroken and alone so he ended up using Keara as a substitute for Anya.
Ivan gave all the feelings hidden in his heart for Anya to Keara. His eyes were full of love and he was trying to give his best for Keara, in exchange for not being able to have Anya.
Keara slowly became attracted to him because she felt Ivan loved her very much, unlike Aiden. After that, Keara decided to leave Aiden. However, she was completely unaware that Ivan only saw her as Anya\'s replacement.
Until Raka suddenly went abroad, Ivan finally found out what had happened to Anya.
Ivan really regretted that he couldn\'t accompany Anya when she needed help the most.
He felt he didn\'t deserve Anya and thought that Raka could bring happiness to Anya. But Ivan did not think that they would separate.
Anya would never know how much Ivan loved her. And even though it was painful for Ivan, he didn\'t intend to tell Anya.
If Anya said that she had a bad memory and had forgotten everything, then they better forgot it!
"Forget it. Remembering so many things can tire you out," Ivan said with a smile.
Anya then said, "Aiden couldn\'t come, so he told me to visit you. Get some rest, brother. I hope you get better soon,"
"Anya, there\'s no need to be polite like that," Ivan frowned.
"We are strangers. We haven\'t seen each other in ten years. Many things have changed. I\'m not a little girl and you are no longer a teenager like you used to be."
Anya laughed at herself. "I\'ve always wanted you to suffer for everything that had happened. But after turning the same age as you, I don\'t know what I want,"
"I know you won\'t believe what I say. Anya, I hope you can be happy. If there is anything I can do, I will..."
"Sir, may I come in?" Just then, a knock on the door was heard.
The expression on Ivan\'s face instantly turned cold. He turned to Anya and said in a low voice, "Assistant Heru is coming,"
Anya was silent hearing that. Wasn\'t this the man that Harris was investigating?
"Then, you guys talk. I\'m going home," Anya got up and walked towards the door.
"Anya, who are you here with? I\'ll have someone take you," Ivan said with concern.
"Aiden\'s bodyguard escorted me," Anya said calmly, then she opened the door to Ivan\'s room.
Heru saw Anya and was stunned for a moment. He immediately greeted her politely. "Madame, you also visited Mr. Ivan."
"Hmm... I\'m already going home. Please come in, Assistant Heru," Anya came out of the room and let Heru enter.
Heru looked at Ivan who was on the hospital bed and said, "I will escort you to the elevator first,"
"No need. I can go alone," Anya looked at her bodyguard and the man immediately approached her.
"I\'ll take you," Heru insisted.
Anya looked at Heru in confusion. But when she saw him insisting on escorting her, Anya felt that Heru had something to say, so she finally agreed.
Walking towards the elevator, Heru looked at Aiden\'s bodyguard and said in a low voice to Anya, "Madame, can I talk to you alone?"
Her guess was proven right. She immediately said to Aiden\'s bodyguard. "Wait here. I\'ll talk to Assistant Heru for a bit,"
The bodyguard nodded but didn\'t go far. He stood where he could see Anya and Heru, so that Heru couldn\'t do anything to his madame.
Heru invited Anya to stand in front of a window. Seeing no one around, he asked, "What were you doing in the hospital?"
"Assistant Heru, what do you mean? Why can\'t I visit my brother-in-law?" Anya asked while looking at Heru.
"You already know how the Master treats you. Don\'t you realize that he likes you?" Heru asked.
"Master who? Aiden?" Anya pretended to be stupid.
She actually knew what Heru meant because she had listened to Ivan and Keara beforehand.
During the past ten years, they never communicated at all. But Ivan still remembered everything Anya had said since childhood.
Anya was touched by Ivan\'s love, but she was even more surprised.
"For more than ten years, Mr.Ivan has been helping you secretly, though he never appeared in front of you," Heru said.
"When you were in high school, there were classmates who liked you and were secretly following you. Mr. Ivan always drives you home every day in secret for fear of something happening. When the boy wanted to disturb you, it was Mr. Ivan who beat him."
"When you go to college and enter a competition, though you only get second place, you also get prize money. It\'s because Mr. Ivan doesn\'t want to give the money directly to you, afraid that you will refuse. That\'s why he gave it through others..."
Anya\'s body stiffened. She did not think that Ivan had been watching over her all this time.
"Why are you telling me all this?" Anya interrupted, but before she could say more, Heru continued again.
"If you can\'t love Mr. Ivan, that\'s fine. But please don\'t hurt him," Heru said firmly.
