"No, my brother and I are at D-king Castle," answered Anika.
"I heard from your brother that you are a little unwell, are you okay?" Yanis asked.
She finally chose a very tactful way to ask.
Anika hummed, "It's okay, I'm fine."
If Anika had not said she was fine, Yanis would think that the video she just watched was fabricated.
But she still sensed something different from Anika's reply.
Yanis wanted to comfort her, but did not know how to express.
So, they remained silent.
After a long time, Anika's voice came again from the phone, "Yanis, are you looking for Zane? Shall I give him the phone?"
It was obvious that Anika spoke sorrowfully.
Yanis did not dare to ask any more questions but hummed, "Please hand the phone to Zane."
"Okay," said Anika.
About ten seconds later, Zane's voice came from the phone, "Hello, Yanis."
Yanis's eyebrows moved slightly when she heard Zane's voice.
Over the five years since they were together, Zane rarely called her such cordially.
Usually, they will call out their first and last names together.
Only when they were making love at certain times would he whisper beside her ear, "Yanis."
Now they get divorced, he often called her that way.
"Are you with Anika?" Yanis asked.
"She went back to her room, what's wrong?" said Zane.
Yanis was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Is she alright?"
Zane did not speak.
Yanis did not ask either.
Both of them sank into silence for a long time.
"I…" Yanis uttered a word.
"Anika ... was sexually assaulted," Zane blurted out.
The two spoke at the same time, but finally, Zane confirmed Yanis' suspicion.
The video proved to be real.
For some unknown reason, Yanis had an impulse at this moment.
She wanted to go back to Manches City as soon as possible.
"Did you call the police?" she asked.
Zane did not want to conceal anything from Yanis, and said truthfully, "The police are investigating, and Albi also arranged for someone to investigate. The results will come out soon."
When Yanis heard Zane's answer, she was sure that Zane did not know who was the suspect.
"Then... any checks to be done by hospital?" asked Yanis.
She thought if the hospital examined Anika and extracted certain things, it would be easier to discover the suspect.
"Anika refused to cooperate, but I'm sure she was sexually assaulted," Zane answered.
Yanis was silent for a long time and asked, "Can Catherine help persuade Anika to have the check?" asked Yanis.
"Anika refused to see anyone, except Dr. Wood and me," Zane said.
Just when Yanis was about to speak, Zane added, "Yanis, can you accompany Anika? When I picked her up, she asked about you."
At the thought of Anika's situation, Yanis agreed without any hesitation. "I'll go back tomorrow afternoon."
Zane hummed, "Okay, I'll pick you up then."
"Okay, see you," Yanis said.
She hung up the phone and dialed the phone number where the video was sent.
After the call was made, she was notified that the phone had been turned off.
Yanis dialed twice but with the same result.
Bonnie knocked on the bathroom door, "Yanis, are you okay? Why do you stay there for so long?"
Yanis put away her mobile phone and replied, "Everything is okay and I am getting out now."
Yanis simply washed up and went out.
