Chapter 153

That was one question, Joseph didn't want to answer, but he had to tell her, she was devastated, just hearing how wicked the entire Anderson could be was still a surprise to her. Even Miles that she thought was different from others just proved to be like others. It felt like the famous notorious Peter and Paul, especially Peter was even better.

"Four months is a long time to stay without a phone, I really don't know what I will be doing without communicating with the world" She said,  trying to change the topic, though not expecting any reply from him actually, but for someone who wanted to prove himself so much, for someone who have not forgiven himself because he believes that he has not been forgiven, he quickly spoke.

"You can use mine or I will just get you a new one with a new line, my system is also here, all new nothing to link me to my old life, so I guess you could still connect with the world.

"don't worry about me, I don't want anyone finding me" she said trying not to be a bother to him.

"It's no trouble at all, if that is what you are thinking, I am more than willing to do just anything for you"

Anna looked at him questioningly, she didn't want him to make promises to her, they only reminded her of how he promised to be her friend, when all he wanted was to get into her pant.

"Can you just stop making promises, I really don't feel comfortable with them" she said and he could sense why she said so, as if that was not enough, she added salt to his already injured heart.

You see, hearing you make so much promises just sound like you are about to deceive me again, I am sorry, but that is how I feel.

Excuse me.

she said and went to the room that have automatically become hers. Joseph didn't follow her, but he was hurt. Just when he thought they were getting past the even if that day, she still brought it back.

He threw the wine cup she used against the wall.

"damn it, she is never going to forgive me" he was close to tears, just then he heard a knock, nobody knocks on the door, he was worried, could it be that he has been discovered? He rushed up stairs to check who the person was from the window upstairs and was shocked to find Doctor Walter, he thought he had already left for his new appointment. He rushed down to open the door for him.

"I am sorry I delayed, I was kinda scared, You know ( he chukkled) I don't get any visitors.

"It's okay, I came to say goodbye to you and Anna, I would be leaving tonight.

Anna heard the voice and tiptoed down, she didn't want to be noticed, she just wanted to listen to their conversation.

once beaten, twice shy they wise people would say, she should not trust anything around her.

"How is she doing? He asked, smiling knowingly at him.

"Why are you smiling? 

"I know you are happy she is here, you don't have to pretend with me? Joseph have never seen Doctor Walter act so Childish when it comes to issues like that, he was even winking at him, he smiled and said.

"I am more than happy that she is here, but my Joy is not complete.

"How do you mean? he asked with a straight face.

"she hates me, she doesn't want to forgive me, I guess she is never going to forgive me.

Walter felt pity for him, the way he said it sounded like he had given up on trying.

"But you love her" He stated. Anna was listening with Keen interest, even though they were almost whispering, she could still hear them.

the Green house was in a place that was outstanding, one could hardly find houses around it, therefore it was usually very quiet.

"you know I do, I have never loved anyone the way I love her, I thought I was going crazy at some point, I have read so many books on how I can stop loving her, but having her in this house is making it even more difficult for me.

"Does she know you love her? Walter was sounding like he didn't know, he must have told her.

"Even before my supposed death, I have told her that I was inlove with her, but the anger in her would not even let her hear me out. Even if she doesn't love me back, I just want her to forgive me.

"She will, give it time, it is only God that forgives as such, she is a human, she was hurt, look at how she had to run away from her once happy home, her once loving husband have turned to an animal, she is away so far away from her daughter. Do you even know how hard that must be for her? 

If Anna thought she had heard a preacher talk, and was moved, then maybe she had not really listened to Doctor Walter, he had just said everything she was feeling, she started sobbing as she went back to her bed, she did t want to come out, it was no use coming out, she just wanted to stay indoors. She was no longer interested in listening, she has heard all she wanted to hear.

Even Joseph was speechless, he hadn't thought of it that way, he too was close to tears, he realize now, what Anna had to go through, all because of his quest for vengeance.

Revenge was indeed a bitch.

"You are right, but I am not in a hurry, all I want is for her to forgive me, even if she doesn't love me back, her forgiveness would be more than the world to me.

"Will you be alright if she goes back to Andrew?

"If Andrew would treat her right, then I guess I would be more than alright to see her smile again.

"you really love her don't you? 

"If you love something so dearly, you should let it go, especially if holding it makes it unhappy.
