However, Betty seemed to be determined not to let her see Nikki, so Ann waited outside persistently.
It was early in the morning, and Ann was still squatting beside the door, with her mind somewhat clouded.
Her phone started ringing. Ann answered the phone immediately at the sight of Karl's number.
"Karl..."
Karl questioned, "Why are you still out? Are you at Phillip's place tonight? Ah, I see. You really have two faces. You told me that you were innocent and then you ran to see another man at once!"
Ann felt increasingly downhearted at the sound of Karl's insult.
But for Nikki's sake, she still tried to cheer up to explain.
"Karl, I'm at your mum's place. I want to see Nikki. Let's talk about these face to face, okay?"
Karl seemed to be drunk and did not hear Ann's words.
"Tell me. How did you hook up with Phillip? Or have you been fooling me around all these years?"
Karl said sarcastically, "I've taken you as my goddess, yet you turned to other men behind my back. I became the one who takes care of all these for you ... Ann, you're such a bitch!"
Ann turned pale at Karl's words.
She felt numb and freezing cold. She could not believe that the man she had always trusted would say this.
She felt extremely dizzy and said to Karl in a weak voice with the last glimmer of hope.
"Karl, I'll come home now. Let's talk this over, face to face."
She still remembered that Karl had accompanied her through the darkest period of her five years abroad.
He told her that everything in the past was not her fault, but the world's fault.
He also said that no matter what happened, he would trust her and stay by her side.
