Chapter 6: Return to St. Petersburg
Anna returned to her home in St. Petersburg. She tried to return to normal life, but Vronsky's figure always appeared in her mind. Karenin noticed that his wife was still restless, and he began to suspect that something was happening.
Vronsky decided to follow Anna to St. Petersburg. He often appeared at Anna's social occasions, hoping to see her again. Karenin saw Vronsky's attention to Anna and began to feel threatened.
Anna felt increasing pressure. On one hand, she wanted to remain loyal to her husband; on the other hand, she couldn't suppress her love for Vronsky. This internal conflict made her very painful.
