Clare's voice came from outside.
"Anika, are you awake? I made your favorite breakfast.
Time to get up and have breakfast."
Clare's words slowly brought Anika back to her senses.
Anika remembered leaving Rafter Villa,going to the hospital, and then coming here to visit Clare.
Anika knocked her head with her fist,feeling a bit anxious. When did her memory become so bad? As she tried to get out of bed, she spotted a large bloodstain on the bedsheet.
Anika touched her right ear and felt something sticky.
She spread her hand and saw it covered in blood...
Her hearing aid was stained red too....
Panicked, Anika quickly used a tissue to clean her ear and then hurriedly took the bedsheet out.
When Clare saw Anika washing the bedsheet on the balcony, Clare was puzzled.
"What happened? Clare asked,
"I got my period and accidentally stained the bedsheet,"
Anika explained with a smile.
After washing up,Anika had breakfast with Clare, enjoying a moment of peace.
Clare's voice sometimes sounded clear, and sometimes muffled.
Anika was so afraid that she would never hear this voice again.
She was also worried about how Clare would feel when Clare found out about it.
After spending half the day there, Anika secretly left some of her savings on the bedside table and then bid farewell to Clare.
When Anika left, Clare went to the train station with her.
Clare waved goodbye to Anika reluctantly.

Clare didn't turn around until Anika left.
On her way back home, Clare thought of how skinny Anika was and couldn't help but call the internal line

days.
Today was the third day since Anika left.
It was also the first time Joshua had received a call about her.
Joshua sat in his office chair, feeling exceptionally delighted. As he'd predicted, Anika couldn't last three Clare's old voice came through the phone "Mr.Conan, have been taking care of Anika since she was a child I beg you. Could you please stop hurting her?
"She's not as strong as she appears to be. When she was just born, her mother disliked her for hearing impairment and had her live with me.
"She was not brought back to the Carey's place until she was of school age...
At Carey's place,except for her father, everyone treated her like crap. In her childhood, Anika had secretly called me countless times, crying and saying she didn't want to be Miss Carey and that she wanted to co daughter...
"You and Mr.Carey are the most important people to her in Oasisville. Be good to Anika, please. She has suffered so much in her life.
Listening to Clare's choked words, Joshua suddenly felt very upset.
"What now?Yesterday, she tried to insult me with money.
but it didn't work So, she's trying to play the sympathy card now?
Joshua's voice was cold."Why would I care how much Anika has suffered?!!
'She deserved it!"
Joshua hung up the phone without waiting for Clare's response
In the past, Anika had told Clar over and over again how wonderful Joshua was.
But now, Clare finally realized that Joshua was not good at all. He was a terrible man. He didn't deserve
Anika.

Anika was on the train back to Oasisville
Het phone vibrated and the checked it only to find a new message from Joshua.
"You said you want a divorce right ?See you tomorrow morning at tent
Anika stared at the message and was lost in thought for a moment before replying. "Okay
Just one word nothing else.
Joshua found that word upsetting.
Good Let's see how long you can pretend."
Joshua was in no mood for work.
So, Joshua called some friends to go for a drink.
They met at a club.
Violet also came
"Let's all get drunk tonight."
Valentin sat next to Joshua and asked about Anika, How is she today?"
Joshua raised an eyebrow slightly.
"We don't have to talk about her again in the future.
Tomorrow, we'll proceed with the divorce."

Upon hearing poured Joshua a glass of wine.
"Joshua,let's celebrate your new life."

Violet nodded. Valentin, thank you.If it weren't for your help.I might not even have had a chance to meet
That was true.
Back then, Violet received financial support from the Carey family. When she went to thank them, she ran into Joshua, who was visiting the Carey family,too. That was how they met.
Joshua's mother and Valentin were a car accident together
Anka was at the scene and saved both Valentin and Rachel.
Violet found out about it and somehow managed to make everyone think she was the one who saved
Valentin and Rachel
That was why Valentin had been so good to her His feelings for her were gratitude at first but then it turned into friendship and eventually love
That was also why Joshua chose Violet over all the other women pursuing him and made her his

Chapter B
On the way, Joshua checked his phone many times.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He thought Anika might message him.
Sadly Anika didn't.
Joshua reached the Rafter Villa,only to find it dark.
Pulling a long face, Joshua opened the door,turned on the lights, and didn't see Anika.
Anika hadn't come home...
The house was the same as how Anika had left it.
The clothes that Joshua had put by the washing machine were still there. Unlike in the past, they hadn't
been washed or hung up.
Joshua irritably walked over and threw the clothes into the trash can.
The after-effects of the drinks were strong, and Joshua felt terrible as he sat on the sofa. When he fell
asleep, he had a nightmare.
In the dream,Anika was covered in blood, but she smiled and said, Joshua,I don't love you anymore."
Joshua woke up in shock, and it was just dawn outside.
Joshua pinched his brow,washed up, and changed into a neat suit. When it was about time, he set off to where he and Anika had agreed to meet for the divorce.
Joshua arrived outside.
