"Substitute? Keara, you think too highly of yourself. Who exactly is your replacent?" Ivan said sarcastically.
Keara looked at Ivan in surprise. "What do you an?"
"Do you think I really want to get engaged to the Pratama Family?" Ivan stared at the ceiling of his room and took a deep breath.
Keara couldn't believe her ears. She opened her eyes wide and asked. "Do you like Anya?"
"I didn't deserve to be with her, so I chose you. Otherwise, do you think I want to be with a cheater like you? You should be grateful to have a face like her," Ivan said coldly.
"Ivan! How dare you make a substitute for that woman!" When she heard this, Keara felt as if her chest was ripped open. She was about to explode with rage. "I want to cancel my engagent to you!"
"Why?" Ivan asked.
Keara frowned and said angrily, "We don't get along well."
"Why should I agree with you?" Ivan snorted coldly.
"What do you want?" Keara could see that the man she felt was gentle wasn't actually as good as she thought.
"Since you are the one who wants to cancel the engagent, you explain it to our parents. Just tell the truth. You can't forget your love for Aiden. You didn't like because I was sick, so you wanted to cancel our engagent. If you don't have the courage, even if you are only Anya's substitute, you will continue to be my fiancée even if you don't want to," Ivan's words were full of threats. However, he said it with an emotionless face, as if he did not care about Keara, who was actually his fiancée.
"You bastard! Why should I be a substitute for that woman? I'm not a substitute. Anya is my replacent!" Keara couldn't accept the fact that she was the substitute. All this ti, she thought Anya was a substitute for her when she was still missing.
"If thinking like that makes you feel better, you can continue to lie to yourself," Ivan smiled sweetly as he said this.
Keara took a deep breath, pressed the anger against her chest and said coldly, "Ivan, you like Anya and I like Aiden. How about we work together?"
"I have no intention of cooperating with a woman like you. I'm not as selfish as you. As long as Anya is happy, even if it's not with , I won't destroy her," Ivan said, then he continued, "Let open your eyes wide. You don't actually love Aiden. You're just mad that Aiden doesn't love you so you don't want to forget him," Ivan's words were really on point.
"You are wrong! Aiden loves . He couldn't forget so he married Anya. All because Anya looks like !" Keara shouted.
Ivan looked at Keara with condescension. He felt that the woman in front of him was really pathetic. Anyone with eyes could clearly see that Aiden loved Anya so much.
Keara was the only person who thought that Aiden loved her and couldn't forget of her.
"Keara, I'll give you three days to think about this matter. Did you know that our relationship saved you from Nadine's troubles? If you are not my fiancée anymore, do you think the Atmajaya Family will spare you?" Ivan closed his eyes and rang the bell beside his bed.
He didn't want to talk to Keara anymore so he called a nurse to help him get rid of her.
The hospital nurse who heard the call went straight into Ivan's room.
Anya imdiately pulled Aiden's bodyguard and hid at the end of the corridor, afraid that Keara would see them.
She and the bodyguard stood at the end of the corridor, until the nurse asked Keara to co out of Ivan's room.
After Keara went out from there, Anya looked at the bouquet in her hand doubtfully. She really didn't want to enter the room.
She could hear everything Ivan and Keara were talking about.
She didn't think that Ivan liked her!
So far, Anya only thought of him as an older brother. And all this ti, she thought that Ivan only saw her and Raka as his younger siblings. But she did not think that Ivan had such a different feeling to her.
Anya was really embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with Ivan now.
"Mada, do you need my help to send the flowers?" The guard was standing in the sa place as Anya so that he could also hear Ivan and Keara's arguing.
"No need. Let enter myself," Anya took a deep breath and slowly entered the room with a bouquet in her hand.
She knocked gently on the door, "Hello, this is Anya. Can I co in?"
When he heard Anya's voice, Ivan opened his eyes with excitent. He imdiately sat on his bed and could not hide his joy, "Anya, co in!"
Anya ca into the room with flowers. Seeing Ivan sitting on the hospital bed, Anya imdiately said, "You just had surgery. Don't sit like that. Lie down!"
Ivan looked at Anya with a smile and said, "I never thought you would visit . I'm tired of lying down. Let sit for a mont,"
Anya hesitated for a mont and then put the flower she had brought on the table. She approached Ivan and stood beside his bed awkwardly, "Brother Ivan, I ..."
"Do you feel awkward thinking of as your brother-in-law? You can act like before. I'm still the sa as the old Ivan you used to know. No matter how much ti passes, I will never change," Ivan said.
"I'm married to Aiden. Of course I have to be polite to my brother-in-law," Anya said.
Ivan looked at Anya and his smile looked a little sad. "Are you blaming ?"
"What?" Anya looked at him in confusion.
"You think that your mother's accident was caused by my mother and I didn't stop my mother's madness. If I said that it was an accident, would you believe it?" Ivan stared at Anya.
Anya was stunned for a mont. She did not think that Ivan would suddenly take the initiative to talk about the problem from ten years ago.
Anya pulled out a chair and sat beside Ivan's bed. "More than ten years have passed. It's impossible to find out what really happened at that ti. If your mom wants to do anything, she won't tell you. Even if you know, you can't do anything. You are you and your mother is your mother. I don't bla you,"
Ivan didn't say anything. With sadness in his eyes, he asked, "How is your life with Aiden?"
"We are doing fine," Anya said.
"I heard, even though Aiden has a strong personality, he treats people he cares about so well. I don't want to disturb your life. I just hope you can be happy. Even though I wanted to protect you, I failed to do so."
"Everything has passed. I've forgotten about it all. Now I'm just your sister-in-law," Anya calmly said.
Ivan's lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say sothing. But in the end he said nothing.
He wanted to tell Anya that although he had never seen her all this ti, he had always been watching Anya secretly.
He still rembered what Anya said when they were still kids.
"Anya, have you really forgotten everything? Do you still rember what you said when you were a child when you were tired of walking and asked to carry you?" Ivan said with a smile.
