Chapter6

Andrew watched as she moved swiftly back to the house, he wanted to stop her, he wanted to hold her so badly, his attitude towards her have changed her so much and made her turn to something else, she seem to have gotten used to being angry all the time, she was no longer that innocent spotless girl he married, who always preferred to wear white dresses all the time, even when she got pregnant for their daughter, she would shop but come back home with only white dresses, she hardly wore other colors, white suits her just perfectly, making her look pure and innocent Everytime.

Andrew knew he had to leave the house, since it was obvious she wasn't willing to leave, he wasn't sure of how long he would be able to hold himself, he wanted her badly, his ailment didn't put a stop to his want for her, he had never stopped loving her but he couldn't tell her that, if he did he would probably not be able to get rid of her, he just have to continue to act otherwise to make her go away.

Joseph was right, if he stayed in the house with them, he would never be able to get over her, he had told her that the only way he could save his daughter and beloved wife was to walk away, he intends to walk away and continue to suffer.

He couldn't even tell his parents about his problems, he had heard about people with this problem how they were usually stigmatized by even their own family, he wasn't going to tell anyone about his problems, having people consider him as a plague was not exactly what he plans to do now.

"I may not be able to be with you Anna baby, but I will make sure I save you from me"

He said to himself as he watched her figure retreat, he could sense her watching him from the window, he had caught her many times doing that, always as immaculate as he remembered her.

He needed to talk to Joseph, he had told him there was a way he could live a healthy life but he could never sleep with his wife, he could never touch her or go close to her, he could never get intimate with her, and being in the same house with her puts them at risk of being intimate. He has rejected her enough, he doesn't know how much longer he would be able to reject her.

Though Joseph just left his sight, he needed to see Joseph to learn more in how to live his life freely without falling sick or infecting others.

"Hello Doctor"

He said immediately Joseph picked up his call, and he told him he was coming to the hospital to see him.

Joseph who had been standing at a distance watching the couple rip themselves apart emotionally was shocked to feel his phone vibrate only to see that the caller was Andrew, he wondered why he was calling him, he initially refused to pick his call but he decided against it, when he did pick he didn't say anything because he wasn't really sure of the reason he was calling, when he did pick, he was quiet but hearing he wanted to see him, he had to lie to him that he wasn't available at the moment, but he told him when you come so that he could get himself ready for whatever. He had already started lieing to him and he must continue, he must make sure he never finds out the truth, he must be his best friend for now.
