Chapter 504 - Fear Of Blame
"Even if Sister Maria finds her real daughter, she will never just throw you out. All this time, she has considered you like her own flesh and blood. How can you break her heart like this?" Aiden scolded loudly.
Nadine lowered her head, she felt really sad. "I thought mother wouldn't want me again after she found her biological child."
"You idiot!" Even though the words from his mouth sounded cruel, Aiden felt sad too. This niece had endured her grief alone without daring to tell anyone about it.
"For the past two years, Mrs. Maria locked herself in the old house of the Atmajaya Family and prayed from dusk until dawn. If you don't come back, I'm afraid her health will get worse," Harris said.
Nadine raised her head. She thought that after finding her biological daughter, her mother would be happy. But why did her mother suffer like this?
"Uncle, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, I was wrong! I want to go back and meet my mother. Even though she had found her own child, I don't want to lose her!" Finally, tears streamed down Nadine's face.
"Miss, don't cry. Mr. Aiden is upset right now. So far, he guessed that someone sneaked into my room and changed the result of the DNA test. It's possible that your mother found the wrong girl," Harris said gravely.
Nadine still wanted to cry. But when she saw Aiden's cold face, her tears seemed to stop flowing. She was too scared to cry and she could only wipe her tears silently, without daring to say anything to her uncle.
"Anya is not Sister Maria's biological child. Keara's plan is very cruel," Aiden clenched his fists, he really wanted to hit something.
"Isn't Anya your lover?" Despite being away from home, Nadine always followed news about her family. That way, her longing would be relieved a little.
"Mrs. Anya was Mr. Aiden's wife. The DNA test results that I brought back from Hong Kong proved that she was the daughter of your mother. So that in the end, they were forced to divorce. At the time of the divorce, Madame was pregnant. For fear that the child would be born, Mrs. Maria ended up giving her the drug for forced abortion," Harris told Nadine the whole story.
"What?!" Nadine was really surprised to hear that. She did not think that the problem was this complicated.
"Do you still believe that Keara didn't touch the DNA test result?" Aiden's sharp eyes were fixed on Nadine's face.
"Even if Sister Keara loves Uncle, she wouldn't do this cruel thing. Deliberately destroying your marriage just to kill your uncle's child? It's impossible!" Nadine shook her head. "Sis Keara is not that bad!"
When their car pulled up to the hotel, Aiden said in a cold voice, "Harris, keep an eye on her. We will return to Indonesia today. If Nadine runs away, I'll fire you!"
"Yes sir!" Harris replied.
As soon as Aiden left the car, Nadine was already preparing to run away. But Aiden's driver immediately locked the door.
"Harris, help me! I've made a big mistake this time. Uncle will kill me!" Nadine immediately begged Harris and looked at him pitifully.
"Two years ago, your mother killed his child. At that time, I was waiting for your arrival in Hong Kong. Do you know what punishment I got once I got back? I broke three ribs because of him. At that time, if my mother hadn't begged him, he would have killed me..." Harris replied calmly.
"Does he love her that much? If it was true that Sister Keara did all this for the sake of separating my uncle and aunt, doesn't that mean I also betrayed him? Uncle will not forgive me. You've worked with him for years and you know how cruel uncle is. If I come home with him, I'll die! Wasn't it uncle who threw my mother into the old house and punished her until her health deteriorated?" Nadine asked.
"Miss, you are very smart. How could you be so stupid when you met Miss Keara?" Harris frowned.
"Harris, I beg you. Let me go. I don't want to die!" Nadine clasped her hands together and begged Harris once again.
"If I let you go, I will die. Go home and make up for your mistakes. Mrs. Anya has returned to Indonesia. You didn't do it on purpose because of Miss Keara's order. As long as you apologize, Madame will surely forgive you," Harris said.
Nadine looked at Harris desperately. She knew the man would not change his mind.
"Does my uncle still love Anya? But she's my mother's daughter. They can't be together," Nadine leaned back in her chair and said helplessly.
"If the DNA test result from two years ago was indeed manipulated by Miss Keara, it is very likely that Madame is not your mother's daughter. If she is not blood related to Mr. Aiden, why can't they get back together?" Harris said excitedly.
Nadine's eyes lit up brightly when she heard that. "That means, as long as I can take Anya's heart and prove that she is not related by blood to uncle, then bring them back closer, uncle will forgive me?"
Harris nodded. "Your mother returned to the old house not because he punished her. It was her own will. If you come home, you can accompany her."
Nadine nodded and then said in a low voice, "Harris, I'm afraid they'll all blame me."
"Don't be afraid. I will always be with you," Harris said. After saying that, he called Nico by video call.
Nico was still in the old Atmajaya Family house. When he saw that Anya and Tara liked Dwi's cooking, he asked Dwi to wrap it up so they could take it home.
They were waiting for the food while chatting and drinking tea in the garden when Nico received a video call from Harris.
"Why did Harris call me? What are two grown men doing video calls for?" Nico said it with disgust, but he took the call anyway.
"Harris, aren't you on duty?" Nico asked, confused.
Harris saw that Nico was not in the office and immediately asked, "Sir, where are you now? Isn't there a meeting you have to attend at 3 o'clock? Have you forgotten?"
"Hah? What meeting? You didn't tell me anything!" Nico immediately lifted the watch on his wrist and saw that it was already two o'clock.
"Sir, are you sure I didn't tell you? Do I need to make you remember again?" Harris answered here.
"Why are you still like this?" Anya looked at Nico in surprise. Two years passed, but Nico still didn't change. He was still irresponsible as he used to be. He always relied on Aiden. He even needed Harris just to remind him of the meeting schedule.
"He has two very great uncles. Of course he will," Tara whispered.
Nico grinned and said shamelessly, "I already remember. I will go now!"
At that moment, Nico looked at the screen of his cellphone and saw Nadine's face appear there. "Nadine! You are still alive!" He shouted loudly.
Anya and Tara look at each other. They didn't know which Nadine Nico was talking about.
"Brother, long time no see. I… I met our uncle just now. I'll be home soon," Nadine waved her hand at the camera in embarrassment. "How is mother?"
"You brat! Did you even think about your mother's feelings for not coming home for years! Wait a minute, I will go to her place now!" Nico took his cell phone and ran to his mother's room.
As soon as Nico left, Dwi appeared from inside. "Where did the Young Master go? The package is ready."
