When Cecilia’s eyes were getting teary, Mark’s phone chimed. He gazed at the phone and eventually picked it up. His tone was very gentle and loving.

Mark’s brow creased. Why would Laura suddenly become feverish?
Cathy spoke gently.
“Could you come over for a bit? Laura likes you deeply and wishes for your company.”

Cecilia’s unkind words left Mark somewhat irritated.
“I have never considered such a thing.”
“Fine. I believe you.”
Cecilia continued softly, “Could you refrain from getting involved in Cathy’s affairs from now on? Mark, I’m not as remarkable as Rena, who can wait for someone for so many years and endure so much pain.
