124 Karl Talks About the Past

Karl dreamed of a hot bath now. He usually preferred a quick shower, but he felt there was so much tension in him that he wouldn't be able to get rid of it that easily. But he was too tired even to prepare a bath.

"You're coming back later from me today," said Anna, who entered the living room wearing a bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her head. She was checking something on her smartphone.

Anna was an exceptionally beautiful woman, and if she had not been the heiress of a fortune, she could have successfully become a model. However, since she had not only beauty but also intellect, she not only spent her father's money, but was also able to earn it for him.

"Sorry, honey," Karl replied, taking off his jacket. "How was your day?"

Anna kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"Normally," she replied. "How is Steve?"

"Everything looks fine so far. No sign of infection. The day after tomorrow he will be able to leave the hospital. "
