Chapter 8
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.

“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.
