Chapter 9
They were both asked if they were sure that they wanted a divorce.
Anika firmly said, “Yes.”
Her determined gaze gave Joshua a slight twinge in his heart.
For some technical reason their divorce couldn’t become official right away. They had to come back a

Perhaps,it was a relief.
Joshua no longer had to deal with Anika or suffer mockery for having a wife with a special condition

Anika had a hearing condition,but it didn’t use to bleed like this.
It started two years ago.At a party Joshua’s best friend,Valentin,pushed her into a swimming pool.
Anika couldn’t swim. Her eardrum was damaged, and she almost died.
The problem was thus developed.
Anika had thought it was cured, but recently, it happened frequently again.
The driver was worried and took Anika to the nearest hospital.
Anika thanked him and went in for a check–up alone.
The doctor Anika saw was the doctor she had been seeing all along.
“Dr. Jebb,I have had a bad memory lately.I keep forgetting what I’m doing, “Anika said.
So she went to the meeting location early to wait for him.
Anika was afraid that she would forget it again,so she read the message from him from time to time.
