"Mark, I love you" — five words, written beautifully.
"Tomorrow is his birthday."
Although Dr. Xiao didn't ask, Valentine Teller explained nonetheless.
"Oh!" Xiao Wu responded briefly, picked up the book, and continued reading.
As the sun set over the western hills, Mark Reed still hadn't returned.
The night grew darker, and the infusion was not yet finished.
"Could you help me call him?" After hesitating for a long time, Valentine finally asked Xiao Wu for help.
Afraid he wouldn't answer her call, she had to ask Dr. Xiao for assistance.
"Sure."
Xiao Wu dialed Mark Reed's number, briefly reporting Valentine's condition before handing her the phone. But when she pressed it to her ear, all she heard was a busy signal followed by silence.
He hung up the phone!
He didn't want to talk to her.
Tomorrow is his birthday, and he doesn't want to celebrate it with her.
As for getting their marriage certificate, he definitely won't go.
