A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 11
Shane said, "I have a question that I forgot to ask you, Mrs. Holcomb."A question for Sage? "What is it?"He waved his phone gleefully. "Who do you think will win the bet? Will it be me or Mr. Holcomb?"From the way he waved his phone around, Sage understood what he meant. The fact that she'd left his number and said that she wanted to learn from him meant that she thought he was better than Ian.Shane was trying to achieve two things by asking her this—he wanted to put her in a tough spot while also provoking Ian.Sage smiled faintly and said diplomatically, "Bets don't just depend on a person's capabilities, really. It also depends on luck.""What do you think of my luck, then?""I honestly wouldn't know. But let me wish you good luck, Mr. Morrison."Shane wanted to say something else, but Ian had already closed the window, cutting their conversation short."When have you and him been so friendly with each other?" Ian asked impatiently when Sage turned to look at him.Sage

Shane's car had crashed into a divider on the road. The car looked like it had been totaled. It definitely looked worse than Ian's car.Just then, the siren of an ambulance rang out. Soon, doctors carried Shane out of his car. "There aren't any obvious external injuries or broken bones. Initial diagnosis is that he was knocked unconscious by the deployment of the airbag…"Sage couldn't help sagging in relief at the diagnosis. At the same time, she wondered how deep a grudge Ian and Shane held against each other. Was it worth putting their lives on the line just because they were on opposing sides in the business world?…When Ian and Sage left the police station, it was already nighttime. They heard that Shane had already regained consciousness and was fine. He only had a slight concussion from hitting his head against the wheel. He had to spend a few days in the hospital recuperating.Neither he nor Ian insisted on making the other party pay for the accident. They both made it cl

"Where are you going? Treat these wounds for me!" Ian said."Sorry, but I'm not a doctor, nor am I obligated to do anything for you," Sage said coldly.Ian's irritation grew. Hadn't she been worried about him earlier? How could she change her mind in the next second? She was so fickle-minded!"You're not obligated to do anything for me? Think about who I took these injuries for!"Sage wanted to say that he wouldn't have gotten injured if he hadn't raced Shane like that, but Ian looked like he wanted to settle the score with her. She genuinely wasn't in the mood to argue with him.She would just give in and treat his wounds. It wouldn't take long. Wanda had already brought the first-aid kit over. Sage took out the Q-tips and rubbing alcohol with a frown."I'll go attend to my chores now, Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb. Call me if you need anything," said Wanda. She left.Sage started tending Ian's wounds. They weren't serious, but some of them were flesh-deep. He'd also bled quite a lot. I

"I heard Ian was injured, so I dropped by to see how he was doing. But don't get the wrong idea about this, Sage!" Ivy hurriedly explained as she thought of something. "I needed Ian to sign a document, so I went to his office."I only learned from Mr. Zane about Ian being injured. Ian isn't the one who told me about it!"Sage smirked. Had she said anything about getting the wrong idea? Why was Ivy in such a hurry to explain herself? She said, "I have a little suggestion for you, Ms. Shekdotter—if you don't want others to get the wrong idea, don't do things that could cause misunderstandings."For instance, if you know a man is married, don't drop by his house alone when his wife hasn't invited you over. And even if you do drop by alone, you should act like a proper guest. Make sure to maintain a proper distance when sitting with someone else's husband."Ivy's face turned red at Sage's words. She hurriedly scooted to the side of the couch. "Sage, I—""Don't address me with such f

Ian, dressed in a dark suit, walked in. What was he doing there? His expression turned slightly colder when he saw Sage. He seemed to be trying hard to keep his emotions in check.Why did he look like that? Was he still mad over what had happened that morning?"Grandpa," he greeted Donald politely as Sage pondered the matter."You're here, Ian. You must be hungry! Come on, join us for dinner. We were just waiting for you!" Donald said lovingly. "Here, sit beside Sage. You like fish sticks, don't you? They're by Sage's side."At that, Sage pushed the dish to the center of the table. "Sit on the opposite side.""Sage, what are you doing? That's rude." After reprimanding Sage, Donald turned to Ian and said helplessly, "I've spoiled her rotten, Ian. She can be willful sometimes. I hope you'll be more tolerant of her. Don't bear a grudge against her. Deep down, she has a kind soul."Ian didn't refute Donald. He sat down opposite Sage and said calmly, "Got it, Grandpa."He'd been rais

"See it for yourself!" Ian threw his phone at Sage.She picked it up to see some surveillance footage. It looked like it had been taken in a basement parking lot. Two men in masks and caps were sneakily peering around a corner.Soon, Ivy arrived at the parking lot. She'd just unlocked the car when the two men charged at her. One of them clamped a hand over her mouth and subdued her while the other opened the door. They stuffed her into the back seat before speeding off."Where was Ms. Shekdotter taken to? Have you found her yet?"Ian suppressed his rage when he saw how serious Sage looked. He said, "The security guards on duty noticed that something was wrong and stopped the two men after they forced her into the car."Sage chuckled. "How interesting. Those two men went all the way there to abduct her, yet chose to wait somewhere where the surveillance cameras would catch them. That would only make it all the more easier for people to notice them, right?""What's with that attitu
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 17
Tears started streaming down Sage's face as she laughed. The memories from her past life of being mistreated, insulted, and tormented at the mental institution flashed before her eyes.The nurse in charge of her had been burly and strong; she could drag Sage along with her with just one hand grabbing her by the hair. She could also slap her bowl of oatmeal to the floor with one blow.The nurse could even pinch her mouth hard and forcefully pour the medication down her throat when she refused to take them …Sage had always thought the mental institution had arranged for the nurse to torment her as a way of sucking up to Ian. She never would've expected the horrible nurse to be Ivy's relative!This meant that her life in the mental institution had been so horrific because of Ivy. At the thought of the torment she'd suffered and the pain she'd experienced because of her stomach cancer, Sage wanted nothing more than to strangle Ivy to death.Why had she been so cruel? She already had

When Ian got downstairs, Sage was already nowhere in sight."Mr. Holcomb, Mrs. Holcomb hailed a cab and left on her own," the driver said tentatively.Ian pursed his lips. He had the driver take him back to Solaris Estate. When he arrived, he saw Sage's shoes strewn haphazardly on the floor. He went upstairs.Sage's door was shut. There wasn't so much as a sound coming from inside. Ian lingered outside for a while but eventually decided against knocking on the door.The following morning, Ian went downstairs after finishing his morning workout. Wanda was serving breakfast. He sat by the dining table and glanced upstairs. "Wake her up for breakfast."Wanda said politely, "Mrs. Holcomb already left the house, Mr. Holcomb."Left? He'd deliberately given her some time to calm down last night, only intending to ask her about what had happened in the morning. Yet she'd already left the house?"Where has she gone?"Wanda shook her head. "I'm not sure. She didn't say anything. She didn

Ian said calmly, "I just got back from a business trip and came by to check on Sage."Giselle didn't ask more questions. She explained to Sage, "I just saw Selena over there. I went to her and clarified that this was my idea. Selena said it was okay."Seeing Selena's calm and relaxed demeanor, Sage didn't have the energy to pretend to be friendly with her.She said to Giselle, "I'm going back to the ward," and then headed to the elevator.Ian was at her heels. "Sage, if you're too tired, just lean on me."Sage stayed silent and didn't respond to Ian, just staring blankly at the numbers on the elevator panel.In the hospital room, Tiana had been waiting for Sage for a while.Seeing Ian, Tiana was equally surprised and asked, "What are you doing at the hospital? Weren't you on a business trip away from town?"Ian succinctly said, "I came back once the task was done."Tiana looked at Sage. "How did it go?"Sage nodded numbly. "Pretty good."Tiana could tell from Sage's expressi

Sage paused slightly in her steps and turned to look at Shane. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "Is there anything else?"Shane felt an indescribable discomfort as he watched Sage's unsteady appearance.But he didn't know why he had to call out to Sage, especially since he didn't remember anything about her."Since you say we are good friends, and I got hurt because of you, why can't you visit me more often?" Shane questioned, finding a reason.“Sorry, she won't be available.”As soon as Shane finished speaking, the door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open.Sage turned her head and saw Ian's tall, upright figure.He was wearing a custom-tailored black suit, looking like he had rushed over from somewhere, carrying an air of exhaustion.Ian had been on a business trip for the past two days. Why did he suddenly show up now?Sage glanced toward the doorway but didn't see any signs of Giselle.Sage had a faint guess about who was behind this. She gave a self-d
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 882
Shane's thought process was quite logical.Sage calmly replied, "You were worried that she was only momentarily taking a step back, so you couldn't fully trust her and wanted to observe for a while."Shane also mentioned that when Sage came to the hospital room two days ago, the way she spoke to him was very familiar. It wasn't like how typical business partners would interact.Sage admitted that they were not just business partners but had become good friends through their interactions."But I wouldn't take a good friend to my mother's grave," Shane suddenly said.Sage was taken aback upon hearing this. Had Giselle told Shane about this, too?Seeing Shane looking at her, Sage calmed herself. "You were deceiving Giselle."It's not just this, but also some of our daily interactions. You embellished the details and even went out of your way to act nice to me in front of her."Shane indeed did that before. Sage wasn't at all diffident to talk about it.Shane could see it, too. "S

Taking a deep breath, Sage knocked on the hospital room door.Giselle walked over, glanced down the hallway, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What took you so long? Where did you go?"Sage forced a smile. "There were a lot of people waiting for the elevator."Giselle saw how broken and fragile Sage looked. Thinking she was worried about meeting Shane alone, she couldn't help but gently pat her on the shoulder."It's okay. Take your time talking with Shane. If Selena returns, I'll tell her that everything was my idea."Sage didn't have the energy to explain further to Giselle. She simply said thank you and then walked into the hospital room.Shane sat upright at the head of his bed, dressed in a hospital gown, with bandages still on his head.His handsome face looked a bit thinner than before. Under the hospital room's lighting, he had the delicate appearance of a frail young nobleman.Shane was also quietly observing Sage as she walked over.She had a slender and delicate

Selena nodded. "It's understandable, Ms. Joyner. However, before you go to see Shane, could you take a moment to hear me out?"Sage was aware that Selena had been deliberately waiting for her.Sage sent a message to Giselle saying she would be a few minutes late, and then followed Selena to the stairwell beyond the emergency exit.The stairwell was brightly lit, with gleaming floors and an overall quietness that inexplicably added a sense of oppression.Sage asked, "Ms. Morrison, what do you want to talk to me about?"As soon as she finished speaking, Selena suddenly knelt down in front of her."Ms. Morrison, what are you doing?"Sage hurriedly went to help Selena, but the injuries on her back hadn’t fully healed yet. The movement caused her wounds to hurt, and she winced in pain, furrowing her brow."Ms. Joyner, please don't help me up. Let me finish speaking."Selena's face showed determination, and her almond-shaped eyes, similar to Shane's, had a hint of tears."I know Sh

Since Giselle already knew, Sage didn't deny it. She asked directly, "So what do you think? Are you planning to go abroad with Shane?""Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm not going!"Giselle was somewhat annoyed. "Nothing's going on between Shane and me! Why would they suddenly want me to go abroad with him?""But your brother thinks this is a good opportunity for Shane to develop feelings for you," Tiana said.Sage also shared Marcus' analysis with Giselle. "Your brother hopes that you and Shane will end up together in the end. If you still have some feelings for Shane, this could be a good opportunity.""I couldn't care less about such an opportunity!" Giselle said. "No matter how much I liked Shane, that's all in the past now."I'm not a martyr. I would never degrade myself just to win a man's affection. Besides, even if I gave him everything, what I might get in return could be resentment, not love.""Giselle, you are truly wise and perceptive!" Tiana couldn't help but s

"However, Elle has become more thoughtful and no longer acts willfully now. I believe that Shane will change his opinion of her."With them spending so much time together, there's a high chance that Shane will develop feelings for Elle."Sage fell silent. People were naturally fragile when they were alone and were easily moved by the care and warmth shown by others, especially considering they would be in a foreign country.Therefore, it seemed highly likely that what Marcus mentioned could happen."Even though my parents agreed to dissolve Elle's engagement, they are quite satisfied with Shane. They watched Shane grow up and know him well."If our two families could be united through marriage, it would be a joyous occasion for everyone."Ms. Joyner, I know that Shane likes you, but he has currently forgotten you. You also understand that it is very difficult for the two of you to be together."Even if Elle didn't accompany him for the treatment abroad, Mr. Morrison Senior would

Marcus put down the gift he was holding and said tactfully, "I've heard about your situation from Elle. I just visited Shane, and I thought I'd drop by to see you as well."Sage thanked Marcus and invited him to sit down. Then, unable to hold back, Sage asked, "How is Shane doing? Is he okay?"Because Shane didn't remember her, and the Morrison family wouldn't allow her to visit, Sage hadn't been able to see Shane in person for the past couple of days.Marcus said, "He's doing okay, more or less. He has multiple injuries, and his hand and leg are not very functional. On top of that, he frequently gets headaches, and his mood is quite unstable.""He probably remembered you, right?" Sage asked intentionally.She could definitely guess that Shane remembered Marcus. However, she wanted to know if Shane still harbored the same hostility toward Marcus.Instead of asking directly because it didn't seem appropriate, she decided to ask a different question instead.Marcus knew what Sage

George acknowledged her with a slight nod, while Simon asked bluntly, "What are you here for?""I heard Shane has woken up and came to check on him," Sage said honestly.Simon's tone was stern as he said, "Ms. Joyner, you should be aware of the current situation with Shane.""We won't hold what happened between you and Shane against you anymore, but we hope you'll stop bothering him in the future and completely cut ties with him."Before Sage could speak, Giselle's voice rang out. "Mr. George, Simon!"Seeing Giselle, Simon's attitude softened a bit.George also had a kind smile on his face. "Have you come to see Shane, Elle?"You see, even though Shane has forgotten so many things, he remembers everything about you very clearly. That shows he still cares about you," joked George.Giselle glanced at Sage and replied with a hint of playfulness, "Mr. George, you really shouldn't joke with me like this."Shane hasn't completely lost his memory, so it's perfectly normal for him to
