I was not only surprised that he had an accident but more worried about Isabella.
You know, Isabella and him had had a friendship since they were young and they were each other’s first love in college.
It was only later that they separated due to some misunderstandings that she got together with me.
“Honey, do you remember what day it is today?”
I tried hard to get even the slightest care.
“What day?” Isabella heard the sound of the key unlocking the door and her tone was calm. “I’m sleeping in the house on Brosling tonight. By the way, I asked for half a month’s leave to take care of him. It’s late, go to bed.”
When I heard the busy tone coming from the phone, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
Watching the time on the phone screen change from 23:59 to 00:00, I turned my head to look at the dishes on the table that had been heated twice.
I took a picture of the scene on the desk and sent it to her WhatsApp, adding a sentence: [Today is my birthday.]
There was no reply for a long time.
But Isabella had just entered the room. She was a germaphobe and could not go to bed without washing.
And she always kept her phone with her, so how could she not see the message I sent?
